I will never go anywhere else for my dental work! As a medically complex patient I have been refused by many dentists. He was originally consulted to help my TMJ pain (hes the only one who has been successful with this). He was not afraid to tackle my routine dental care as well. He has an excellent bedside manner which goes unrivaled by anyone else Ive ever seen and has a way of making sure my care was comfortable and as painless as possible, including managing my severe anxiety. He is extremely talented and truly passionate about his patients and has a wicked sense of humor. The only thing Id change is I wish I had gotten to see him years ago before I was highly traumatized with previous whack jobs who destroyed my teeth.His entire office staff is incredible. They are so kind and bend over backwards to help in any way possible.

If you need any work done you need to come to this office. I did not want the cheapest, I wanted the best. The office is always clean and welcoming. As a new patient in the waiting room Dr. Lalonde makes time to come out and introduce himself. It also makes you feel like he sincerely cares about you when he personally calls in the evening after surgery to make sure you’re doing ok. I have never had one negative experience there since I started going there.

Dr. Lalonde is the best! What I love about his work is his level of perfection. He doesnt just fix your teeth, he restores them, and in most cases makes them better than ever. Hes the only dentist that I never fear to visit because he is confident, professional, and also very skilled and gentle. Thanks so much to you and your staff! :D

Going to the dentist was always put on the back burner. The office for me right in for a consultation and had my appointment to get my wisdom teeth pulled all in less than 2 weeks. Super friendly and would recommend Lafayette Implant and Cosmetics and Dentistry to everyone!

Second time I have brought my elderly mother in for dental work. Dr Lalonde has a great bedside manner with a difficult older patient. We have 2 more visits to finish up the procedure.They wont be easy- but he will get the job done and my mom will be able to smile again soon

The Doctor and staff here are amazing. He took care of a chronic issue within 24hrs of the call. This is no ordinary Dentist, he is an amazing surgeon! Terrific bedside manner! My extraction was quite the ordeal, not an ounce of pain during the entire procedure. I have already sent a new patient and my wife is next! Thank You for improving my quality of life! Highly recommend!

I lost 4 teeth in an accident and Dr. Lalonde actually came to see me in the ER late on a weekend! My new implants look just as good as the my regular teeth, most people don’t notice a difference at all. Very friendly, text reminders for appointments are helpful, and staff takes the time to make sure they are doing good work. Would recommend to anyone.

Review №11

I have had some bad experiences in the past and always felt fear and trepidation when going to get dental work done. I admit I was nervous to get some of my teeth pulled but Dr Lalonde was great. He actually called me on the weekend just for inquiring about tooth extractions(which I knew I would need done) and implants on his website. I admit after 50+ years of enjoying all the benefits of chewing, I found myself causing myself more pain by not addressing the problems due to my past fears. I know my teeth need some serious work and am looking forward to having the rest of my mouth done by Dr Lalonde and his wonderful staff.

Dr. Lalond ranks amount the top, if not the rope, of all the dentists who worked on my teeth that I remember.Technically, he is meticulous, understands not only the medical aspects of dentistry, but the Science and mechanics aspects too. I am an engineer and the way he approaches my dental care is unique. He had to design a new implant foundation in my gum to reduce the stress caused by chewing food. Moreover, many of the cosmetic work that other dentists did on my teeth deteriorated after some time, but Dr. Lalond’s have had stayed strong, stable, and durable. Great quality.Dr. Lalond saved me thousands of dollars by saving a tooth rather than extracting it and replacing it with an implant, a “treatment” that other dentists suggested.After each time he works on me he calls and checks on me to see how I am doing, sometimes more than once if it is a weekend.I cannot stop sharing the good experience I had with him. But I shouldn’t end without adding that (1) besides Dr. Lalond’s outstanding dental expertise, he is a kind and compassionate man, and (2) his dental staff members are a vital part of his practice and they are equally as professional in their expertise and service.

I love this office so much. Everyone is just so understanding and welcoming. I had issues paying my bill due to financial issues but they worked with me and never made me feel pressured or on a time contraint. Thats why me my husband and daughter go here.First time i saw him I had cracked a molar and had exposed the root. I had gone in without anything other than a bag of ice i was chewing on. As soon as he saw the pain i was in, he had me numbed up and ready for extraction; when all other dentists said i needed a consultation first; after having been in pain for over 24 hours.

I went to see Dr. Lalonde when I chipped my front tooth. They got me in right away, were running on time, and he had finished fixing the chip within 45 minutes of when I arrived. You cant even tell anything was wrong with my tooth, the color matches perfectly and blends seamlessly! We have gone to this place for several years for routine dental care but this was the first time I had an issue and was very pleased with both the service and the result.

My truck broke down and I happened to make it to this places parking lot. A employee came out while I was waiting on a tow truck and offered to let me wait inside, get a drink or use the restroom. Very nice of them to do. I imagine they treat their clients even better ! Hard to find courteous people like they are these days.

Hi everyone. Dr. Lalonde has saved me numerous times but yesterday he went above and beyond. Two days ago I contacted him in unbearable pain. I couldnt close my mouth all the way. I couldnt eat. The pain had spread to my jaw, ear, and caused a severe migraine. He got me in for an exam and x-ray one hour after I contacted him. Less than 24 hours, he was extracting the two molars that were so severely abscessed. Thank you so very much.

Ive been a patient of this office for just over a year now and things have been very good. I ended up needing some extensive dental work on a front tooth due to an old injury. Though getting a dental implant is unpleasant in general, the staff made things very comfortable and easy for me. The experience wasnt as difficult as I expected it would be thanks to Dr. LaLonde and his staff. I really appreciate everything theyve done for me and my new crown looks and feels amazing.

Review №25

I have always postponed getting dental work because of the horror stories that I’ve heard about dentist I offices. However, when I moved to West Lafayette for my doctoral program, I kept having issues with teeth sensitivity that were causing me pain. My supervisor recommended Dr. Lalonde’s office and set up me an appointment the same day. When I arrived, I was met with smiling faces and a positive atmosphere. After meeting Dr. Lalonde, I was relieved that he was such a genuine person. He told me that I had a few cavities and scheduled me for surgery shortly after. Remembering all of the horror stories, I cried. I was alone and felt terrified. Dr. Lalonde talked me through it and assured me that I would feel nothing. He was absolutely right. Whatever he did, he did with such care and precision that I did not feel a thing. I am proud to say that I now have a dentist and I don’t think I’ll ever meet one who provides both quality care and quality service the way that he does. If you are looking for both, him and his team will be your best choice!

I always have some trepidation about going to the dentist for obvious reasons, but these folks were fantastic. I was seen punctually, the hygienist was thorough but gentle, Dr. Jim found a cavity and didnt guilt me about it. Im a first time patient and needed a local dentists office. I found them.

Dr. Lalonde is a fine dentist, and the staff is great. My upper front teeth were worn down, and he restored them. I hadnt realized how poorly they were cutting, but he fixed them and now theyre working great. It costs, but you get what you pay for, and then some.

Review №34

I have been struggling with orthodontia-induced TMJ and neck issues for the better part of a decade. This discomfort frequently interfered with my ability to exercise, sit at a desk, or even exist comfortably and required frequent chiropractic care, among other treatments.Dr. Lalonde recommended and made a custom oral appliance that, within minutes on my commute home, was easing my jaw and neck tension by limiting my back jaw muscles ability to clench. With further adjustment over time, my TMJ issues have all but disappeared.If you are having TMJ-related issues, I cannot recommend Dr. Lalonde highly enough.

Review №35

I’m a student at Purdue University and pretty far from home. When I was diagnosed with TMJ, Dr. Lalonde was incredibly helpful and empathetic. He answered all of the questions me and my parents had about the treatment, and if ever I am concerned about something, he is available on his cell phone to be reached at, which has been really comforting! I really love the staff and their friendliness, and I’ve had a great experience here thus far, and don’t doubt that I will continue to!

Review №37

I cannot honestly put into words how much I love Dr. Lalonde and his staff. I have been dealing with chronic migraine and fatigue for well over a decade. I’ve been to countless doctors - pain management, chiropractors, neurologists, psychiatrists, ophthalmologists, nutritionists, you name it, I’ve been there. I lucked into Dr. Lalonde when he took over Dr. Pestle’s practice when he retired. Literally from my first appointment he has devoted an incredible amount of time to helping me, including consulting with other doctors to try to get me through all of this. I say all of this publicly because I want people to know that if you are in any pain or even if you just need a good dentist, there is nobody I can possibly recommend more highly. He and his staff genuinely care about you. They will get to know you on a first name basis and on a personal level. Please, do yourself a favor and go see them. You will not regret it. (And when getting your teeth cleaned, I have to recommend you ask for Pam!)

Dr. Lalonde is one of the only dentists that I found that was willing to treat my TMJ. He always does a wonderful job with any work he does. After being treated for TMJ, I went to him to have my wisdom teeth removed and now I go there for regular cleanings. All of the staff is very friendly and caring. I highly recommend going to Lafayette Restorative Dentistry for all of your dental needs.

I have had several crowns replaced because of damage that had occurred since there original placement 20-30 years ago. I also had both of my upper central incisors replaced and I must tell you that Dr. Lalondes attention to detail in both the functionality and cosmetic appearance, has been quite appreciated and impressive. He is obviously well trained, experienced and personable as well. I am quite pleased.Kyle D. Loy, M.D., F.A.C.S.

We have been seeing Dr. Lalande since he came to Lafayette. He has diligently worked with us to improve our dental health. Correcting my bite misalignment and eliminating my TMJ issues. Additionally, has done a great job on an implant/crown installation. I continue to schedule regular check-ups at his office due to his professionalism, his experience and training and his office staff.

Dr. Lalonde and his staff do remarkable work! For years, I have had a cracked/broken front tooth and generally misaligned teeth that have made me self-conscious to smile. Dr. Lalonde did restorative work for me and cosmetically, Im amazed at the skilled work. He not only fixed the broken tooth, but he took the time to make sure that my smile looked natural and that the other teeth matched, the ones he repaired. His staff are just as nice and attentive, and they let me know each step of the way what theyre doing and made sure I was comfortable. I know I will be coming to this office for my dental needs from now on.

When my previous dentist (his patient for 35 years) retired, Dr Lalonde was highly recommended to me. I have had 3 bridges and 5 crowns over a 35 year period and needed extensive work done on the maintenance of this work.In my initial visit the Doctor did a through examination and recommended a program that would take care of my denial problems. Besides that, he also suggested a maintenance regiment that would alleviate any future ones.I met the Doctor in Indianapolis and drive to Lafayette with no apprehensions. His staff is professional, personable and sincerely interested in the patient. His new office is state of the arc, but the most important variable is hes up to date on the latest denial procedures.Dr Lalonde has instilled a sense of confidence to me that he will find the right solutions for any my denial restoration needs.In the words of the doctor, only floss the teeth you want to keep !

Review №51

I was a patient of Dr Pestle for several years. When he retired and Dr Lalonde took over the office I decided to stay and try his expertise since he was highly recommended by Dr Pestle.I do not regret this decision as it is a pleasure being a patient of Dr Lalonde. Due to an infection I had a tooth extracted by Dr Lalonde. I decided to also have an implant to replace the lost tooth. He was extremely carefully and very professional explaining very step of the whole procedure. I am very happy with the result. I have to also recommend the staff for their expertise and for the overall pleasant environment of the office.

Dr. Lalonde does beautiful work. He is very knowledgeable and his work is second to none. I have two crowns. One done by Dr. Lalonde and one by a different denist some years back. The difference in aesthetics is shocking. Dr. Lalonde’s work is superior! I love the staff and would recommend this office to anyone seeking dental care.

Review №53

Dr Lalonde is a remarkable dental craftsman. Hes done phenomenal dental work for me. Both superficial and technically difficult procedures.Equally important is his demeanor and approach. As an example, over the holidays I required an emergency procedure on New Years day. Not only did Dr Lalonde field my call on New Years Eve, he went so far as to cut his evening short so he could drive back to Lafayette to do the emergency procedure New Years Day morning. He went above and beyond to take care of me when I was in immeasurable pain.His handiwork is top-notch. He is kind. He is accommodating. He is considerate. Above and beyond that, hes really a nice, funny guy, too.I have been to many dentists over the years. Some have developed talented technical skills, some have great bedside manners. Dr Lalone has both. You would be hard pressed to find better oral/dental care.

Review №54

Dr Lalonde is amazing ! He truly cares and he is very talented . We had an implant placed at another location with a reputable doctor, and to our HORROR the first MD did not place it properly . Dr Lalonde caught the error on a routine consultation for crowns and was able to correct the issue and even went further to improve the look and color of the other MDs work . He exhibited a great deal of confidence and courage to call out the other MDs error because it was the right thing to do . It made ALL of the difference and potentially saved an adjacent tooth from dying . I think Dr Lalonde works 24 hours a day practically and even gave his personal cell phone . I am a registered nurse and believe me ...the doctors I know don’t do that ! His office was impeccable . Do not go anywhere else . You are in GREAT hands .

I am a fairly new patient to Dr. LaLonde, but my experiences have been excellent. The office staff are pleasant and very helpful. The office is clean and welcoming. Recently I had a root canal procedure and was very nervous about the experience. I experienced no pain and was pleasantly surprised by how easy the procedure went. Dr. Lalonde is friendly, has a great sense of humor, is knowledgeable of his craft and also reassuring to the patient. I highly recommend everyone to switch to Dr. Lalonde.

My mother had continuous headaches for most of her adult life. She went to see Dr. Lalonde and he made a mouth piece and re aligned her bite and he succeeded in stopping her headaches in about 4-6 weeks. She was treated very well with respect and compassion. I am grateful to Dr. Lalonde for listening to my moms issues and treating her. His office staff is wonderful and on the ball. She is so very happy with her treatment and Dr. Lalonde! ( Della Mills)

Review №57

Dr. LaLonde has truly been a life saver for myself and one of our sons! We are terrified of dental procedures due to past experiences. Dr. LaLonde put us at ease and even though I would say Im still nervous and a bit anxious before a procedure, I no longer go into panic mode at every thought of an upcoming appointment!! He has been working to fix what a former dentist did to my teeth. It has meant an unplanned surgical procedure as well as multiple trips to fix just the first two of 4 teeth that will need redone. The staff has put me at ease and not made me feel silly for my anxiousness and Dr. LaLonde has done excellent work on my teeth so far. He also was kind enough to get one of our sons in for emergency care and extraction of an infected tooth that hed been battling for months. That tooth was out within half an hour and our son is feeling fantastic now and we no longer have to worry if he is going to live or die from a tooth infection! Thank you Dr. LaLonde and staff!
