Dajani Dental Services

The practice is presented on its website under the dentist Dr. Nadia Dajani, whose name appears as "Dr. Nadia Dajani , d.d.s" and "Dr. Dajani, DDS" — a DDS credential, stated in that form on the page.

Her published biography reads that Dr. Nadia Dajani is a Chicago native; that she graduated from the University of Illinois with a BA in Biology in 1996; that she was accepted at the University of Illinois College of Dentistry and graduated in 2000; and that she completed a one year general practice residency at UIC as well. The site adds that she enjoys practicing dentistry and getting to know her patients, that respect and communication are key factors in her patient treatment, and that she personally gets to know every patient who comes into the office and makes sure all patients' questions are answered, because she believes education is key to maintaining good oral health.

Dajani Dental Services is a general and family dentistry practice in Bridgeview, Illinois. Its website describes the practice as offering "Comprehensive dental treatment" and lists these services by name: preventative dentistry; check ups and cleanings; periodontal therapy; root canals; extractions and oral surgery; restorative dentistry; crowns and bridges; dentures and partials; dental implants; cosmetic dentistry; porcelain veneers; teeth whitening; tooth colored fillings; and dental emergencies. The site states the practice's mission as: "Our goal is to provide patients with the highest quality dental care in a professional, comfortable and friendly environment."

That list is the full extent of the published services. The website is a single page and does not break any service out into its own page, so it does not describe what a particular treatment involves, how long it takes, how many visits it needs, what materials or brands are used, or what results a patient should expect. It does not say whether the practice treats children, whether it offers orthodontics, sedation, or same-day emergency appointments, or whether any procedure is referred out to a specialist. It does not publish prices, cost ranges, rates or fees for any of these services.

Dajani Dental Services is located at 8550 S. Harlem Ave, Suite C, Bridgeview, IL 60455, US. That address appears on the website as the practice's office location, in the Chicago area southwest of the city. The published phone number for the office is (708) 598-8760, shown both in the page header and in the contact section.

To book or schedule an appointment, the site directs visitors to call: the text next to the services list reads "Call to schedule an appointment." The contact area is headed "Better yet, see us in person!" and also carries a short web form under the heading "Drop us a line!" with a Send button. There is no online booking tool, patient portal, or bookable calendar published on the site, and no email address is listed.

Under the heading "Most insurances accepted," the Dajani Dental Services website lists these plans by name: Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Metlife, Guardian, Delta Dental, Humana, and "Dentaquest/ medical card." That list is exactly what the site publishes on the subject.

Importantly, the site does not say the practice is in-network, participating, or a preferred provider with any of these carriers, and it does not describe any specific plan, tier, or group. "Accepted" is the only word used. It does not state what a patient's coverage, copay, deductible or out-of-pocket share would be for any treatment, and it does not say whether the practice files claims on a patient's behalf. Whether a particular policy is accepted, and on what terms, has to be confirmed with the office.
