State of the Art Equipment!!
Ali B.

I came to Chicago on business and damaged my tooth, I was able to call Chicago Smiles for an emergency appointment and they made time to accommodate. Upon entering the office I was immediatly impressed with the layout, the decor and the professionalism of the staff. I was greeted very warmly, already had ally paperwork completely filled out because their website allows you to print and fill out prior to your visit and sat down for work immediately. During my visit I asked about other cosmetic and noticed they had equipment I have never seen before. I immediately got on Google and found out that they had the most up to date and state of the art laser whitening system in the market. I asked the question, I extended my appointment and had the whitening done. I couldn't be more happy with my experience and I am looking forward to returning for any of my cosmetic needs as I am in Chicago for business once a month. Definitely one of the fanciest dental offices I have seen in years and would recommend this place to anyone.

I went to Chicago smiles today and I'm getting close to finalizing my treatment.  I'm already happy with the results.  Wow!

Going to the dentist couldn't be made any easier. I've been going Chicago Smiles (Dr. Santucci) for years, he and his staff have always made if seamless. I've gotten from implants to my Invisalign's done with him and I'm happy with all my results. I've referred friends and family over the years to Chicago Smiles and I will continue to do so because everyone of them are happy with their results. Dr. Santucci you rock

Waiting for my crown

Had some work fixed from my last dentist here. I actually met both doctors and both are very cool and professional! Their fees for my procedure were very reasonable. The office is super high tech and very clean :). They don't validate parking so this sucks because I commute in but I guess this is downtown Chicago. Definitely recommend this place

AFTER Invisalign w 1 bonded tooth (left side)

I met Dr. Santucci in 2014 for an X-ray and cleaning after not seeing any dentist since 2010! The staff was great as was he-- especially when he delivered the results of my exam. I had 16 cavities and severe gum recession, in addition--I needed a root canal and a crown. Needless to say, after that....I spent a lot of time in his office with him and his amazing staff. Procedures that terrified me and the thought of how long and how much all this work would take was very overwhelming. Everyone at Chicago Smiles was incredibly kind to me from the receptionist (Dave at the time) to the hygienists. This was no easy endeavor, w the amount of recession I had-- almost all my cavities were on my roots. It's now 2018 and I have never had an issue or a new cavity since! In addition I have the same crown which was expertly matched to my natural color. He had all the most innovative and up to date equipment, I was never in pain, not even w the nova cane shot. 2 years later, I decided to get Invisalign and there was no other Dr. or office that I would even consider. My teeth are my most prominent and they were my absolute worst feature, I was incredibly self conscious of them. After 9 months of Invisalign they are now my best feature and I always get compliments! He straightened them, shaved a bit off my two front teeth and canines. He also had my incisors bonded to square off the shape. It's the best smile make over I have ever seen! I was in his office once every 2 weeks during the process and he and his staff were always lovely. I've since sent him 4 referrals and all sing his praises!

Love my new smile!

Dr Marina and the rest of the office are amazing! I did Invisalign comprehensive and am very happy…read morewith the results. Dr Marina clearly cares a lot for her patients and took me through multiple sets of Invisalign. Thank you for the great experience!

First Dr. Karnaukh didn't measure my gums to monitor my gum recession and from my previous visit she should've made a note that my gums need to be measured on every visit because I have a significant damage to the structure of my teeth and gum recession as a result of a botched orthodontic treatment done a few years ago. She referred me to a physical therapy for my TMJ and difficulty swallowing but when I called the clinic they told me that based on my symptoms none of their doctors feel comfortable taking my case. Then the cleaning done by the hygienist was a complete joke because she didn't use the machine but she was scrubbing manually and that took forever to have my teeth cleaned. Lastly, they billed only the exam under Dr. Karnaukh's name and the cleaning was billed to my insurance under the name of Dr. Nouneh. I have never seen dr. Nouneh in my life so I don't know what kind of insurance frauds they do there and why they billed my cleaning under a doctor who has never seen me. I called my insurance company and they told me that I have to make them correct this and bill the cleaning under the name of the doctor who did the exam but the manager of Brighter Dental refused and she only offered to remove the balance I owed due to dr. Nouneh not being in network with my insurance. I don't recommend this dental office and unfortunately I have to be on the look for a new dentist again due to the unethical and fraudulent business practices done in this office.

I am so disappointed, I hate to write this review but I've been coming to Dr. Flak for years and…read morehave always raved about him and his team. But on my last three visits I have noticed a change. None of the original hygienists are there anymore. The two that I have had in the last few visits were not friendly, and on my most recent visit two weeks ago the hygienist was very abrupt and I told her to be gentler when she was doing the flossing but she just brushed it off. Every single time in the last 20 years that I have been in for my six month cleaning, Dr. Flak has come in to do an exam. This last time he didn't and he was there because I saw him in the next exam room. When I asked the hygienist if Dr. Flak was going to come in and do an exam she said "no, he'll do that next time in September". It looks like I'm going to have to find another dentist. I even called their office the next day to voice my concerns but they never returned my call.

Wanted to give this place a chance, but have to agree with all of the negative reviews…read more The dental assistant (hygienist?) - one older woman in particular was very very rude and generally abrasive. She was clearly taking out personal frustrations on patients and Flak would brush it off as if that were a normal or appropriate way for his staff to interact with patients. I visited the office twice, and both times she was very rude. Flak himself is visibly annoyed if you ask any questions, and he quite transparently just wants to move through as many patients in as little amount of time as possible. While I wish the best of luck to Flak and his team, I do want to warn others that if you care about a) bedside manner, and b) feeling like you aren't just being rushed out the door, I'd consider going elsewhere. The front desk was actually nice and helpful.

Typically, I trust the dentist when they recommend a procedure…read more Last year, when a dentist at Diversey Dental Studio suggested that I get Invisalign to eliminate the need for a night guard I took a pass. Especially when she said that my bottom teeth would require bonding following the Invisalign treatment. For the record- I have no complaints about the night guard. I responded that if I wanted to have my teeth straightened, I would see an orthodontist and get regular braces. Her face fell, and she stuttered a bit. That indicated to me that the $$ she was hunting for had flown out the window. Let me say that I have two generous dental insurance policies, and my gut tells me that this thirst for money motivates the dentists at Diversey Dental Studio. It always feels like I'm getting an upsell from them. Not good. I did not heed my inner voice and returned for a cleaning. Another dentist informed me that I needed to replace the filling on tooth #15 and needed a crown on a broken upper molar. I spent 2.5 hours in the chair to have both procedures done. After she filled tooth #15 it had a divot in the middle that was so deep I could fit half a tic-tac inside it. When I asked why it wasn't flat she said that she was a "perfectionist" and made the shape more like a natural tooth. Um, okay. To make matters worse, a third of my night guard broke off when I tried it following the procedures. I returned a week later to have the crown filed down and told the dentist that the crowned tooth was sensitive, and I had not been able to chew on it. She filed down the crown and filed a lower crown beneath the molar which covered a (very expensive) implant. She filed the teeth down so much that they no longer meet! She told me to wait two weeks to see if the sensitivity lessened. After two more weeks of not being able to chew on the right side of my mouth I made an appointment with Diversey Dental Studio's owner Dr. Jacqueline Rodriguez who confirmed that the upper molar and lower tooth no longer meet. This was causing additional pain in another lower tooth due to the misalignment of my bite. Rodriguez prescribed steroids and said I may need a root canal. She referred me to an endodontist that had many bad reviews that mentioned price gouging, so I ignored her recommendation and returned to my "old" dentist, "Dr. A" a few days later. Well, Dr. A. who has over 20 years' experience, said that I need antibiotics not steroids. He said that the filling that the Diversey dentist replaced on tooth #15 (for $433) seemed questionable as he had filled that tooth (for $150) in January 2023 with very strong composite material. Dr. A. repaired the divot that the "perfectionist" left me with and he sent me to an excellent endodontist for a root canal and he urged me to do it soon. Do the dentists at Diversey Dental have amazing resumes and an excellent bedside manner? Yes. Are they trying to pay off their student loans by padding the treatment plans? Perhaps. Do I trust them with my teeth? Never Again.
