What matters to us here

Our care is built around relationships. At Hardenbergh Family Dentistry, we take time to understand what each patient wants, walk through the options, and keep the visit comfortable, whether you’re in for a routine cleaning or an implant consultation.

When we asked patients what makes this practice stand out, the answer was short: a warm, welcoming feeling. That’s the standard we hold every appointment to, for every family who walks into our Buffalo Grove office.

Is there a Spanish-speaking dentist at the practice?

Yes. Dr. Simon is fluent in Spanish and provides care in both English and Spanish.
