About Dr. Lyle Petrutsas
Dr. Lyle Paul Petrutsas was born on March 30, 1970, in the city of Houston. He graduated high school in 1988 and embarked on his undergraduate studies. Four years later, it was time to fulfill his lifelong dream of entering dental school. After entertaining many offers, he decided to pursue his graduate studies at the nationally acclaimed Baylor College of Dentistry, part of Texas A&M University, in the beautiful city of Dallas. After four fulfilling and knowledgeable years, he graduated with his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree. Dr. Petrutsas then honed his skills as the lead dentist in a large clinic in Duncanville, on the outskirts of Dallas. After five wonderful years of creating smiles, Dr. Petrutsas began to look for the perfect location to start his own practice. After an extensive search, he located a small practice for sale in beautiful Highland Park. Knowing this was the perfect place to help people with their smiles, the practice was purchased in October of 2001.

Best experience at the dentist I think I’ve ever had. Professional, kind, patient, and communicated with me and my insurance so I didn’t have to do any extra work.

I have been a patient of Dr. Petrusas for more than 20 years. It is because of his skill and his impeccable treatment that I have remained under his care!
January 2, 2024Shirley B.Verified patient
Hygienist was 30 mins late to my appointment. I booked a widsom tooth consultation and after a 2 hour long appointment of them taking pics of my teeth they told me I would have to go to a different office to get scans of my widsom teeth since they don't have the machine there. They also told me the doctor I saw didn't perform widsom tooth surgery so I would have to book a different appointment to see him. I was clear when I booked it was a wisdom tooth consultation (an option on their website). Waste of time and money

I would not recommend this dentist. I just moved here and I had my very first appointment with them today. Right away the hygienist immediately told me I had gingivitis and needed a “special” cleaning along with specific mouthwash and laser treatment that totaled a significant amount of money. Dr. Petrutsas told me I need to get rid of my wire on my bottom teeth or else my bone would deteriorate. He also said my teeth are completely flat due to grinding and will need their specific mouth/night guard in order to help this. I have never missed a cleaning and have been regularly going to the dentist every 6 months for as long as I can remember. My previous dentists have never mentioned any of what Dr Petrutsas’ team told me. I felt like they were trying to sell me on everything they possibly could. Will not be going back here and would not recommend to anyone.

December 20, 2022David T.Verified patient
Dr. Petrutsas is the best. He cares about each and every one of his patients. He is a true professional in his field. He wants to make sure you receive the best care and nothing extra. This gentleman is worth leaving your current dentist. I trust no other and my whole family is dedicated to him. I promise you can't go wrong!

August 3, 2022Austin W.Verified patient
The technician accidentally scraped off the bond of my permanent retainer mid-cleaning. They quickly escorted me to another room to repair it, but never finished my cleaning or gave me a check-up. I am sure they charged my insurance for a full visit.

Walking in in pain I received excellent help. Root canal required on the spot & preformed quickly with their every step being told to me before hand as they proceeded. Personal and well informed during procedure
May 20, 2021Marla S.Verified patient
It was very informative and helpful all step of the way. Great team! Only thing was I had to fill another form again after have pre-filled the form on Zocdoc that defeats the purpose

If you are not satisfied with your dentist I recommend this office. Very friendly office and overly professional. You feel that you are given all the important information you need to make informed decisions regarding your dental health. Heather rocks!!!!
January 14, 2021Erick H.Verified patient
Went in for tooth pain while visiting my folks in Dallas, Dr. P was able to squeeze me in and I was treated like a longtime patient. Dr. P gave a clear diagnosis, prognosis, as well as explanation of options & procedures. Addressed many options on how to proceed to remedy my tooth pain. Heather drove it home and found the best course of action, for me (while considering insurance and timing), and explained everything for a civilian to understand. The only letdown is a PPE fee during Covid, but it was forgotten after day of appointment.
More than 1 year agoEdgar C.Verified patient
Dr. P has been my dentist for the past 10+ years. I am extremely satisfied with the dental services, and level of professionalism I have always received. I have recommended to several family members and friends, who continue to use him and report being happy with their dental care.

All staff was friendly and helpful. Gave me many, unbiased tips and suggestions on different practices to fix my issues. When they did recommend an additional procedure, they did not pressure me to make a decision today and told me to take my time and do additional research. This was something I'm not used to from a medical practice.
July 19, 2017Neil B.Verified patient
So nice! Came in because I had had a bad experience with a dentist a couple weeks prior and needed a second opinion. Doctor made me feel listened to and explained my treatment options thoroughly without pressuring me to make any immediate decisions.
