Meet Our Team | South Barrington Dental Care
The all-female clinical and administrative team behind South Barrington Dental Care. Experienced, compassionate, and genuinely happy to see you.
Call (847) 382-0700 to schedule with our team.
The difference a great dental team makes is hard to articulate until you have experienced it. At South Barrington Dental Care, the people you meet at the front desk, in the hygiene chair, and assisting Dr. Allison Bartley during treatment are the reason most of our patients stay with us for years. They are warm, highly trained, and consistent. You will see the same faces at every visit.

How Our Team Works Together
Every patient is seen by the same core team each visit, which means better continuity of care and relationships that actually form over time. Hygienists review periodontal findings with Dr. Allison Bartley before any exam, Ari coordinates complex treatment plans across multiple visits, and Alyssa handles insurance and financial questions so clinical conversations can focus on clinical topics.
If you have a question about your treatment plan, scheduling, billing, or insurance, any member of our team can help you find the right answer. Contact us or call (847) 382-0700.

Common Questions
Will I see the same hygienist every visit?
Whenever possible, yes. We schedule returning patients with the same hygienist to maintain continuity and so your clinician knows your history, your preferences, and your specific oral health goals.
How long have most team members been with the practice?
Our clinical team members have been with South Barrington Dental Care for between one and several years, with Candice joining in July 2021. Many team members have been in the dental field for 10+ years in their respective roles.
Who do I ask about billing and insurance questions?
Alyssa (office manager) and Ari (treatment and scheduling coordinator) both handle insurance and financial questions. Either can answer questions about your benefits, estimated out-of-pocket costs, or CareCredit and GreenSky financing options.
Are team members bilingual?
Ella is bilingual (Albanian), and our team has experience serving patients with a range of language preferences. Let us know when you schedule if language support would be helpful.
Who should I talk to if I am nervous about dental work?
Our hygienists, Ari, and Ella all have experience supporting anxious patients. Dr. Allison Bartley also discusses sedation options (nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation) when appropriate. Tell us before your appointment and we can plan accommodations in advance.
