Dr. Moon is the most thorough dentist I've ever seen! He explains things in a very calm and detailed manner. You can tell he actually cares about his patients. Also - the patient rooms have a TV not just on the wall but on the ceiling as well. A very cool and thoughtful touch! read more

In the spring of last year, I received two crowns from Dr. Moon and was told by him personally that I could come back within a year if anything happened to them. I was so happy and reassured by his words. He explained that he was using new technology and wanted to make sure the crowns held up well, which made me feel cared for and confident in his work. Fast forward to less than a year later: one of the crowns has chipped. I called the office expecting the support I was promised, only to be told that Dr. Moon never said any such thing -- and that I would have to pay out of pocket to have it fixed. I was stunned. Not only did I feel misled, but I was also made to feel like I imagined the whole conversation. As a clinical therapist in training, it's my job to remember the details of a conversation. I didn't imagine this conversation; he literally went back on his word. What's most disappointing is that Dr. Moon used to be my favorite dentist. He almost felt like a friend (lol). I feel like giving him the benefit of the doubt here (but how can I!). It's frustrating that he's gone back on our agreement and I'm upset with him. That's all I have to say. Take what you want from this review. read more

Dr Moon is a great dentist, I enjoyed seeing him every time I went in. He filled two cavities for me but then the next time I went in I was seen by Dr Cho who said the cavity fillings were too large and I would have to get onlays instead. When I confronted the office about this, the receptionist I talked to via text told me I was wrong and that I had never seen Dr Moon, and then asked me for a bunch of information on the visits I had previously had. I thought it was ridiculous they didn't have this on file and was outraged by them telling me I was wrong and hadn't gotten cavity fillings there by Dr Moon. I denied the treatment plan but they would not stop trying to schedule an appointment for treatment so I ultimately stopped going there. I heard Dr Cho is no longer at the practice, but there is also a hygienist there that is very aggressive on trying to get people to buy the fancy mouth wash they sell ($40) I told her I had bought it and used it and it made my tongue go numb so I stopped using it. She told me to buy it again and let her know if my tongue goes numb again... Then she told me I had gingivitis and pulled out a large set of teeth to show me how to properly brush my teeth. It was incredibly rude and embarrassing. I now go to a different dentist that has never mentioned gingivitis and told me the treatment Dr Cho pushed for was not necessary at that time. All that being said, if you can get an appointment with Dr Moon, I would highly recommend seeing him. Just be wary of the hygienists, they push for special cleanings that aren't covered by insurance and to buy extra products you don't need. read more

Wonderful experience. Love the calm atmosphere and 3D technology. Dr Moon takes time to explain things. Will return.

Nice, clean, modern, professional, patient, knowledgeable and my new dental office. Changing dental offices after many years of going to the same place. read more

This by far the best dental service i have ever had. They are thorough, friendly, and the work I and my family have had has been top notch. I have never had a bad experience! read more

Dr. Moon is one of the best doctors of any discipline I've had the pleasure of receiving treatment from. He set expectations, they lay out prices before doing any work, and he goes above and beyond explaining, spending time, and doing little things to help you feel as comfortable as possible. The staff is all very nice and helpful as well. 6 stars out of 5! read more

(TLDR - Went elsewhere after Dr. Cho gave me an extremely aggressive treatment plan) Background: Late 30s, electric brush 2x/day, floss daily, cleanings every 6 mo, pretty good diet / no soda, have had some cavities in past, did Invisalign. In July 2024, I went to Dental Minds for the first time for a 6 mo checkup and cleaning - it was closer than my old dentist and had great reviews. I was told that I may not get a cleaning that day on account of their very thorough exam. After taking x-rays and tons of photos, Dr. Cho carefully charted my gum loss and other apparent issues. This ate up the entire appointment, so I scheduled a follow-up to review my results and finally get a cleaning. When I went back, Dr. Cho gave me a 9 page printout dedicated to everything that was wrong with my mouth: "Recession" in 6 places. "New decay" on 11 teeth. "Failed restorations" on 7 teeth. "Future root canal concerns" on 4 teeth. "Acceptable dental work" on 2 teeth. Keep in mind, over 30+ years, I've never had more than 2 cavities in one visit. No one's ever had concerns about my gums. Now Dr. Cho is telling me I need close to a dozen not just fillings, but in-lays, on-lays, or crowns. I was also told that I have early-stage periodontal disease (a stage past gingivitis), possibly due to a bacterial infection. The only way to diagnose this would be to send my saliva out for testing. Dr. Cho even insinuated that this oral infection may have been the cause of a tumor I had removed from elsewhere in my body. This review took more than an hour, so not only was there no time to do a cleaning, Dr. Cho basically refused to do a regular cleaning, telling me the only thing that would help was a deep cleaning (which insurance rarely covers). I explained to him that his report was unlike anything any other dentist had ever told me, and I wasn't ready to move forward. To his credit, he encouraged me to get a second opinion. So I did (at my own expense, since insurance only covers 1 exam every 6 mo). I went to see another dentist who was highly recommended, without telling her I was in for a second opinion. She did a fairly thorough exam, told me one old filling needed to be replaced, and did a cleaning. When I finally told her about Dr. Cho's report, she said, "We'll keep an eye on some other spots, but I wouldn't let anyone drill any of my other teeth," and that my gums looked good for a 40 year old. I'll stop short of accusing Dr. Cho of quackery, but I will say that his treatment plan was crazy aggressive and would've cost me tens of thousands of dollars, even with insurance. (If my teeth do fall out of my head in the next decade, I owe him an apology.) That said, my wife saw Dr. Cho's partner, Dr. Moon, and had a great experience. It's too bad she doesn't feel comfortable going back now. read more

I've been a patient at Dental Minds for a number of years now. Even after they went out of network with my insurance I stayed with them because I trust the team at DM and have received continues and consistent high quality service from them. For somebody with a fair share of former poor experiences, it's hard for me to trust a dentist but DM has mine. read more

I had a ridiculous experience here. I came in for a routine cleaning and left without one! They spent 1.5 hours pressuring me to get X rays, which I am uncomfortable with because I am pregnant, but eventually did. Then they spent a majority of the time there convincing me my teeth were going to fall out, which they aren't, and tried to get me to spend $300 on a test to tell me what kind of bacteria I grow in my mouth. It was the most ridiculous pitch for this seriously possible Ponzi scheme dental plan, and I wouldn't be surprised if the dentists are driving around in their gifted pink new cars. After an hour of being walked through this pitch, with a PowerPoint slide and a detail review of the website, the dentist said it was impossible to clean my teeth with the time left. I went to my OB and a different dentist and told them about Dental minds concerns and just like I said a million times at my appt, they confirmed that when you are pregnant your gums bleed a little more and nothing to worry about. This isn't a dentist, this is a scam read more

I called to make an appointment specifying that I wanted to come in for a cleaning. Instead the doctor spent an hour telling me that there was no point removing the stains from my teeth because my 1 mm of bone loss was basically terminal cancer. Even though my gums do not bleed when I floss and there was no tartar anywhere on the x-rays, Dr. Cho kept going back and forth on whether or not he was going to allow me to get a cleaning without performing saliva tests and an aggressive treatment of antibiotics. Unless you enjoy being talked down to and intimidated, I would avoid Dr. Cho at all costs. The doctor never even looked in my mouth to examine me for cavities or gum disease. read more

I have had a fantastic experience every time at Dental Minds. Dr. Moon is so friendly and thoroughly explains what is going on with your mouth. He listens to patients, and is conscious about what people do or don't feel comfortable with. The hygienists are also extremely caring and friendly, as is the front desk staff. I came in with a filling that had fallen out (from a previous dentist's work a while back), that I had been worried about getting looked at. Dr. Moon was understanding, and helped me feel at ease with the solution. He never pressures patients into something that they do not want or need to do. The office is extremely clean and is modern, with TVs so you can watch a show while getting a cleaning or work done. I don't often leave reviews, but know that finding the right dentist can be tough - so I wanted to let others know about the great experience myself and my husband have had. read more

I was very happy when I walk out from this office Dr C Nick was very professional explain everything in detail i will highly recommended here i will come back to see her all the staff are wonderful. read more

The worst dentist experience I have ever had. Extremely pushy staff in regards to their extensive treatment plans. Seems like nothing more than a money grab to me. Really disappointing and turned me away for the cleaning I wanted to receive. read more

When people say "I love my dentist" I always assumed that meant "I have perfect teeth and therefore a trip to the dentist is easy!" Well for the first time I can also say I love my dentist and my teeth are the basically the opposite of perfect. Everyone in the office goes above and beyond, from the hygienists and assistants to the front desk staff, to Kaarin the office manager who has helped me so much to move my records over and navigate my dental plan. Dr. Moon is phenomenal, and I really appreciate the time he takes to explain to me exactly what is going on with my teeth and what the next steps are. He has a very warm approach as well which matters a lot when it comes to such a stressful time for many of us. Thanks to everyone at Dental Minds. read more

Me and 2 friends tried this dentist. All of us had very few dental issues and were there for a 150 dollar cleaning deal they were running for first time customers. After leaving not only did they try to upsell each of us on care plans that would cost many thousands of dollars, they also claimed that they were to busy for the cleaning that day and tried to get us to pay for the visit as a consultation without receiving our cleaning. We ended up getting the cleaning but had to fight for it. I've been to other dentists since and they disputed all of the issues this dentist claimed all 3 of us had. I'm pretty sure this guy is just trying to sell 40 dollar bottles of mouthwash. Would not recommend read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND DENTAL MINDS Dr. Cho is a compassionate, caring, and extremely considerate dentist! I've had several traumatic experiences in my childhood with dentists, and that's why I avoided going to the dentist for so long. When I was searching for a new dentist, I knew I needed to find one who could provide me with excellent bedside manner and care! I'm so lucky to have found Dental Minds. Dr. Cho and his team taught me that it's okay to advocate for yourself, and that it's okay to ask for emotional support from your care team! Dr. Cho worked with me to ensure I was as comfortable as possible with my wisdom teeth extractions, fillings, and now root canal. I basically did it all with Dr. Cho, and I cannot recommend Dr. Cho enough; all of my friends know about him and Dental Minds, and that's because he's just the BEST of the best. Thank you for caring for me, Dr. Cho and Kaarin, and everyone on the team. While feeling uncomfortable is inevitable with a root canal, I felt heard and validated every step of the way, and I'm so grateful for your patience. Only two more visits to conquer this root canal, and I feel 100% confident that you will take care of me! Trust Dental Minds to care for your dental health. They are simply top-notch; the best, the most caring, and compassionate dental office EVER. Thank you! read more

My experience here has really been amazing Dr. Moon and everyone there is top notch . The space itself is fantastic but the people here make it truly great! Couldn't ask for a more professional, skilled and attentive staff and dentist. read more

My favorite dentist ever. Quick and easy. Everyone is super nice and they put in the extra effort to teach good brushing without making you feel bad. read more

What an amazing experience! I was in search of a dentist when I discovered Dental Minds on Yelp, and their stellar ratings didn't disappoint. It truly was the best dental experience I've ever had. The office was clean, the staff was friendly, and Dr. Moon was exceptionally thorough, which I greatly appreciated. As a new patient, I needed some X-Rays, and their 3D scans were impressive. Dr. Moon took the time to explain everything I needed to keep an eye on. Despite thinking I knew how to properly brush and floss after all these years... lol I didn't. Dr. Moon helped correct my technique, which was really cool! I'm glad he went through that, as it will help prevent cavities in the future. I highly recommend this place!! read more

Dental Minds is a great dentist office! Everyone is extremely kind and the Doctors are very knowledgeable. Definitely recommend. :)

Dr. Moon is the best! I followed him from his previous practice to Dental Mind. He is super gentle in cleaning, makes sure his client is comfortable and is the warmest dentist I've ever had. He's also super generous with time on educating you on the dental health. Wishing him and the business the best!! read more

Hands down the best dental experience I've ever had. From start to finish it was immaculate. Because of many reasons I hadn't been able to go to a dentist regularly in several years and I had a lot of anxiety around visiting a dentist but they were all so kind and easy to work with. Zero judgement. They were also super transparent about pricing and insurance and even offered to work with my insurance to get a pre procedure estimate before I got any more work done so I'd know exactly what I'd owe out of pocket. 10/10 truly. read more

From the minute I met Dr. Moon I was excited to have a state of the art, compassionate and thorough dental group in the neighborhood. I LOATHE the dentist and from my first interaction I could feel the positive energy and patience exuding from the entire team. Today I has some major dental surgery and Dr. Cho was so KIND and caring, as I have severe dental anxiety (who doesn't right?). Both Dr. Moon and Dr Cho are FANTASTIC! The team worked through my insurance transparently and really let me know out right how much everything would cost; usually a huge point of contention for me. I can't wait to see my new teeth and get this grill back on track. The office is BEAUTIFUL! The most technologically advanced practice I've been to, and let me tell you...I've been to dozens. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND whether it's just an efficient and thorough cleaning or surgery. They're you're team! read more

Dental Minds - Entryway and waiting area - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

See all

Highly recommend Dental Minds! I called them in a panic, around 6pm, because I had chipped a tooth at dinner. They said to come by ASAP and they would help me out. By 7:30pm I had a filling and was on my way home. Not bad for an emergency visit on a Monday! The doc was extremely thorough in explaining options to me, and the prices were transparent. As a bonus, there are two TVs in each room so that you have a distraction while you visit. read more

Dental Minds - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I highly recommend Dental Minds. In all my years of going to dentists, this is the first place that actually educated me on how my mouth/teeth/health are all related. More importantly, due to Covid I had not been to a dentist in a while and this place has no judgement what so ever! It was so refreshing. Dr Cho spent a lot of time with me, reviewing each tooth and creating a plan. I left feeling no pressure to get work done, no sales pressure, instead it was about creating a plan for my overall dental health. Very hard to explain here but seriously - no guilt, no pressure, and people who genuinely love their work. read more

I hadn't been to the dentist in years, and decided to go to dental minds after checking out reviews, and they were right! Dr. Moon was great at communicating throughout cleaning and filling procedures, explaining everything they saw in my teeth, and asking about any concerns. He's the most comfort based dentist I've been to. All the hygienists were very nice as well, and at the front desk they were up front about pricing and insurance coverage. I'd highly recommend! read more

Best dentist experience I've ever had. Dr. Moon is so kind, detail oriented, and gentle. He's willing to take the time to talk you through everything and make sure to check in if you have questions. He and the dental hygienist were very gentle during my cleaning without compromising on the quality of the cleaning. read more

Very friendly and welcoming service. Dr. Moon was personable and made me feel comfortable. Inside is beautifully decorated and very clean.

I had my first appointment at Dental Minds with Dr. Cho and couldn't recommend it highly enough. The whole staff was friendly and thoughtful and made the experience as low-stress as possible. Dr. Cho explained everything very well and always gave options for treatment plans. It was the most thorough, non-judgmental and comfortable dental experience I've had. The facilities are also very nice, clean and modern. Highly recommend! read more

Great staff and Dr Cho is an amazing dentist. I had him restore my teeth with crowns.

This place is amazing, they truly care about their patients. Ever since I started coming here for regular checkups and cleanings I have noticed a significant difference in the quality of my teeth and gums. I truly appreciate all the employees and Dr. Cho for going above and beyond to address all my dental concerns. I recommend this place to all my friends and family, thank you Dental Minds! read more

Welcoming staff. Dentist pays attention to detail and is very informative. Recommend for dental needs.

Like many people, I let my regular dental appointments go during the pandemic, but it was finally time to get back in the routine and the location of my previous dentist was no longer convenient. So I took a chance on Dental Minds and was very pleased with my experience. Easy online scheduling. Text reminders and communication. Friendly staff. Pleasant and clean office. Dr. Cho was super thorough in reviewing my scans and X-rays and helping me to understand what I needed to do to get my dental health back on track without making me feel bad about my pandemic pause. Highly recommend. read more

I'm very happy to have found Dental Minds. Their operating hours were conflicting with my schedule this month but they were very kind and accommodated me on a day that they're usually not open. I'm feeling certain that I will be taking better care of my teeth and will be sure to get to my bi-yearly appts knowing that I've found such a nice office to visit. read more

I'm usually so terrified of going to the dentist due to past experiences, but I am so grateful I discovered Dental Minds and Dr. Moon! I've only had two appointments so far, one during which I had 3 wisdom teeth removed, and Dr. Moon and his assistant were so kind, gentle, and understanding . He explained everything that he was doing, everything I would feel, they gave me a stress ball to squeeze, and That 70's Show was playing in the background. Such a nonjudgmental and welcoming environment, and during my first visit he asked me what made my past experiences bad so that they don't repeat them here. I highly recommend coming here for your dental needs you won't be disappointed! read more

I love coming here, such a lovely dental office! And the staff are super friendly too!

I went in for an emergency visit during the weekend and the staff here is great! A filing in one of my teeth chipped and Dental Minds was one of the only places that was open during the evening on a weekend. Being that it was a last minute walk-in appointment I did have to wait a while to have my filling replaced but the receptionist/assistant was quick to sign me up and place me in a room. Dr. Moon was very kind and professional. He was able to replace my old filling that same evening and he did an excellent job explaining what other work I would need to have done later on. I can honestly say this is the least amount of discomfort I have ever felt during a filing placement. I am also glad that I felt no pressure to set up appointments for other dental work, instead I was told the cost for the procedures and told to call whenever I was ready. I look forward to my next appointment here! read more

I meet Dr. Cho in 2019 before the pandemic at Precision Dental on Diversey. He did amazing work then. He fix an old job for a root canal. Someone else had done not so good of job few years ago and it was giving me a problem. He explain in detail my treatment plan. Ever sense he gain me as a patient. I was sad when I found out he was not going to be at presision dental. He couldn't tell me where he was gonna go. So I had to do my homework and I Google and search for him, it turns out he is even closer to me! Yay for me. I Came to him today and let me tell you with his office is state of the art, clean, updated with all the gadgets I loved it. My daughter also comes to him she is 8 years old. I completely recommend him! read more

These guys are great. I used to always hate going to the dentist because they'd stab me in the gums until I bled and then would blame it on me for not flossing enough. Everyone here is kind and cool and gentle, and they check in to make sure you are comfortable and have all your questions answered. Highly recommend. read more
