I was greeted by a very friendly reception staff. The office is large and attractive with a number of rooms for exams and procedures. I came to Dr. Yahav for a second opinion in regards to work I had done by a different dentist with results I was not completely pleased with. Dr.Yahav spent a good amount of time on his exam and was thorough In his explanation of options that would improve my satisfaction of the already completed previous dental work. I came to Dr. Yahav upon a recommendation of a family member who was very pleased by combined implant/bridge work done by Dr. Yohave. read more

Buyer beware: Dr Jonathan Yahov put in three implanted teeth on my lower right side, and two implanted teeth on the left side. His crowns on the bottom right and my crowns on the top were filed flat so I cannot chew on that side. Also the porcelain on the top was taken off, and you can see the screws on the bottom crowns. He said he would fix the right side and nothing changed. Also the color of the crowns he added are different color than my other teeth. Asked for a refund so that the crowns could be replaced which he refused to do and is taking no responsibility for what he did Have pictures that show all of the damage including holes in the crowns, and metal screws showing through. This is shoddy work and needs to be addressed. Pictures of 2 teeth are attached read more

Very honest & reasonable with the latest equiptment & techniques used. Many locations to serve most areas.

I'm usually very conservative in my rating of any service provider, but in Dr. Yahav's case I must say I'm quite pleasantly surprised how well my considerable dental problems have been dealt with by Dr. Yahav AND his quite competent nursing staff. I was offered a complete inventory of my dental needs and now feel I can rely on my excellent care & repair service to carry me into my 100's! Most important to me is my solid conviction that I can trust Dr. Yahav has my best interests at heart; very comforting! 5-stars isn't enough. He's a concerned with the best approach for my teeth and gums, yet still involves me in the decision-making process through keeping me fully informed about process and price! Thanks read more

Dr. Yahav works super fast and well, has super kind office staff. Both take their time with every patient

Dr. Yahav has been my amazing oral surgeon since he did my implant over 13 years ago when he was located in the John Hancock building - and he stands by his work today, which is why I followed him to Skokie. I highly recommend Dr. Yahav - his work is exceptional and the Skokie offices (as the John Hancock offices) are clean with high tech state-of-the-art equipment! read more

The worst dental experience of my life. Not only was his work sloppy -- an implant that needed to be removed. But, Dr. Yahav tried to sell me numerous procedures that I don't need. Confirmed by another dentist. I looked him up and he's been sanctioned by the licensing board. Never a good thing. read more

From 2014-2017 when I lived in Chicago downtown, Dr. Yahav was charging almost double of what my insurance company then had agreed with his practice. He was making me pay a lot out of pocket. After I found out, I made multiple calls to the office and his front desk assistant was willing to help, but he prevented that. I went in to see him a couple times to discuss that and he would take me to the corner of his office and tell me how nice he had been to me with his prices. He eventually fired his front desk staff in his downtown office because she was trying to correct their errors and pay me back. read more

Waited a few years to write this review but it happened back in 2017 so hopefully he's changed... (doubt it). Racist dentist who put his cultural beliefs on me and ruined my smile. Scraped the enamel off my front two teeth telling me "you deserve to rot in jail so I'm putting these little bars on your front teeth as a reminder". He hates you if you are of a fairer skin tone and/or smoke weed (hugely against his religion, his own words to me). This person should be sued for malpractice and/or shut down permanently. Edit: I did not want to write the racist remarks he made to me in a public forum but there were 3+ comments about my skin color in a tiny 1h cleaning procedure. Never went back, won't ever go back and I have GREAT JOY telling people about avoiding this practice like the plague. PS why do you think he charges more than other dentists? Have to afford that Hancock Building office rent somehow. read more

I had 3 wisdom teeth taken out. No pain at all. Very professional And kind Answering all my questions And even calling after a few hours to see how I feel.. Very fair price. Definitely recommend !! read more

I had a terrible experience with Dr. Yahav during the two years or so that I saw him. To keep it brief, he charges a lot more for procedures/fillings than other dentists I have come to find out since leaving them. They were poor communicators, once telling me they would have nitrous gas for me and I got to my appointment and they were out. I am a very nervous patient and this did not end well for me. He also on several occasions started drilling my teeth when I wasn't numb yet. Didn't even test first to see if I was numb. I cried through several sessions. It was an awful experience. He also once did a filling for me and got to close to the nerve. I was in agonizing pain for several weeks. I have moved on to an excellent dental group on Washington in the Chicago loop and couldn't be happier with their professionalism and sensitivity to nervous patients. read more

What started out as a work trip ...turned into a tooth ache. I was at a convention with co workers and felt this pain in my tooth. As I'm not from the area I didn't know where to start looking. My co worker recommended Dr. Yahav. The front staff was friendly and very sweet. I normally hate the dentist which is why I haven't gone in 10 years. The nurse took me back and did xrays on my teeth. Turns out I had a few cavities! They showed me the xrays which made me feel comfortable and I felt like he was an honest man. They numbed me up and I didn't even feel that which is a huge plus! They gave me a few fillings (I recall 4 cavities) and I was back to normal the next day. If you're ever in the area or live in the area I recommend this place! read more

The doctor is very caring and really does the best for you. He is open and upfront about what he thinks is the best path. He did a great job on my teeth I'm very happy and most likely will make him my go to dentist. read more

Thorough and really cares about his patients. Also worked with me to make it affordable. Would recommend.

I had gone to a prior dental provider for years and then they changed management and name of business . I was not happy with them at all I searched thru my Insurance for a Dentist and low and behold I found one the best Dentist Dr Yahav cares about his patients with his great personality and 1st rate Dentistry I highly recommend him. He has several offices thru Chicago& suburbs ***** read more

I had a root canal done by doctor Yahav on May 2018 it was an emergency root canal and I didn't know and I called a few Dr and doctor Yahav was able to see me when I got to the office they were very professional and took x-rays immediately they put me on a plan and got me in the following week to do the root . I would definitely recommend this doctor to anyone that needs any type of oral surgery. He is reasonably priced, friendly and ultimately gave me a good new smile read more

I saw Dr. Jonathan Yahav in Evanston, IL at the 1800 Sherman building back in the early 2000s. I was just out of college and hadn't been to the dentist in years. He sat me in his chair, put a camera in my mouth, and told me about the dangers of the silver amalgam fillings I had as a child. Already terrified and guilt-stricken for not having been to the dentist in a long time, he convinced me to have the silver fillings taken out of the right side of my mouth. (The left side was to be done during a future visit.) It all happened so fast. Novocaine. Drills. Done. Outfitted with temporary fillings in preparation for porcelain inlays, I was hit with a $3000.00 bill, two violently cored out molars, and a follow-up appointment date. Feeling strange about what had happened, I started to tell a friend the tale, and my friend interrupted me to ask what floor of the Sherman building I had visited. He also asked if the dentist was Dr. Jonathan Yahav. I was baffled. "Yes," I said. "He tried to do the exact same thing to me, but I immediately got up and visited the practice downstairs from his office, and that dentist told me that Dr. Yahav was apparently trying to take me for a ride. The dentist examined my mouth and said 'Your teeth are fine.'" Long story short, a dentist I consulted AFTER my Yahav adventure confirmed my suspicion that, while all of this was ultimately non-actionable and nebulous due to dentists having different judgment and varying degrees of aggressiveness, I was right to doubt the aggressive nature and necessity of the treatment that I feel Dr. Yahav railroaded me into on the first visit. However, the sad-but-true reality of the situation was that I was in a bad position now that my teeth were cored out. "You might as well go back and let him put the inlays in or you're going to have to pay another dentist to do the same work in addition to all of the duplicate lab costs. In essence you'd be paying twice." Conflicted, I returned and had Dr. Yahav put in the inlays. At the conclusion of the visit, I requested my x-rays and never returned. Dr. Yahav seriously hampered my faith in dentists, and, consequently, I just stopped going for a long, long time. While Yahav's work was technically sound, I strongly believe that it was unnecessary and, by coring out two molars and leaving thin walls, he engendered major work 13 years later. Thankfully, I finally found a dentist I trust. Don't let fear get the best of you. Always ask questions, take time to think things over, and seek a second opinion if necessary. This sounds obvious now, but when you're in the grips of fear and guilt, people can take advantage of you, and, yes, I feel Dr. Yahav took advantage of me. Don't let this happen to you. With sites like Yelp, things are much more transparent now, and we're all the better for it. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Yahav for close to two decades. He is a talented dentist, straightforward, well-versed in a range of latest procedures and has a confident hand. Relatively easy to get in for appointments and friendly helpful staff. read more

I came in after years of not visiting the dentist, not only was I fearful but I was in pain. Cecilia was very calming and soothing and made me feel comfortable and less scared. Then Dr. Jonathan Yahav came in to finish with extreme precision and before I can get the drool vacuumed out my mouth and ask "am I almost done?" I was already done. I went from hating the dentist to looking forward for my next oral spa treatment. THANK YOU read more

Dr. Yahav is an excellent dentist! He is extremely knowledgeable and takes his patients health very seriously. He took the time to listen to my dental concerns as well as thoroughly explain how my current dental health is and how I can improve it. I was very pleased with my visit. For once, I can't wait to go back to the dentist! read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Yahav since he opened his practice (first in Wilmette, then Evanston and now Skokie). Unfortunately, I do not have good teeth and have had to have many dental procedures done over the years including root canals, bridges, implants and veneers. Dr. Yahav has done an outstanding job. He is a knowledgeable and trustworthy professional. I am likewise pleased with the other office staff members; Ceci is always patient, pleasant and does a great job. Overall, I would recommend Dr. Yahav without any hesitation. read more

Dr. Yahav is thorough and provides excellent dental care. His staff is warm and helpful. The office is immaculately clean! Dr. Yahav's priority is the health of his patients. My self and my husband are thrilled to be patients of his practice. read more

Great service and perfect location for Northwestern students. Dr. Yahav always gives me a thorough cleaning and check-up while I am here. He even grandfathered in my bill for me based on the price I first payed 4 years ago! (Very helpful since I am a student) Thanks Dr. Yahav! read more

I went to Dr Yahav and he told me two of my teeth requires filling and should be done relatively quickly. Despite my busy schedule and a baby at home, I made time for the appointment thinking my teeth require attention. At the appointment, he told me he only does ceramic for my large filling which costs me $500 per tooth, for a total of $1000 for that day. I told him I cannot pay and I want plastic. He said he would reduce the fee and call the lab to get a reduced price ($400 per tooth). I told him that is expensive and I want to do plastic when I have this free option. He did not do it. He told me to wait and come back in 6 months ! If I knew my teeth could wait 6 months, I would not have made time that day, out of my busy schedule, to go to his office. He wasted an hour of my time. Will not go back to his office. read more

I came here for a basic teeth cleaning. The receptionist were prompt and pleasant when I arrived. The lobby area was clean, had a variety of magazines to choose from, and I had a short time to wait before going back to a room for my service. I received good service of the basic prerequisite task that is necessary prior to my teeth cleaning. The dentist, Mr. Yahav, kept checking in on me prior to him coming in to review my images from the x-rays. There was another client whose oral surgery that ran over, time wise. Instead of doing a quick generic look at the images and telling me just anything to send me on my way; he was sure to make sure he didn't begin tending to me until he could give me his undivided attention and time, after finishing up with his other client. I was grateful for that. I have recommended all friends and family to his Skokie location and I will be back for the removal of my wisdom teeth before the year is out. read more

This was my first visit to this wonderful location! I usually dread going for my cleaning because it hurts but the technique Mr. Yahav did felt less painful. His hygienist was great and the rest of the staff was quite courteous. Keep up the good work!!! read more

Dr.Yahav extracted 2 teeth, the next procedure was 2 implants. I was not worried about this procedure since I had an implant on the opposite side of my mouth. Yahav also added bone graph. After returning home, I contacted Dr.Yahav since the area was still numb. He advised me that it can take awhile, even several weeks for the numbness to go away.After 3 weeks he told me it might even take months. Well years later, I still have the numbness. Both implants failed and I am left with a blank space in my mouth. Dr Yahav stressed to me that I REJECTED the 2 implants; maybe I was nervous, stressed, etc. Well after several years , under the care of a new dentist I have 3 new implants. Same body, same chemistry, same implants, different dentist. I am still upset about the procedure with Yahav. I do not feel it is professional to " blame" the patient, not is it professional to not give any price adjustment for 2 failed implants. This was a costly procedure, an emotional disappointing outcome, I have always felt I deserved better. Please select your dentist and the office with care. ( My phone calls were not returned, I was a patient for over 20 years) read more

Great service! Very friendly, informative, thorough, and most of all efficient. Call in, book your appointment, and whatever you need to get done will be carried out smoothly and in no time. Highly recommend! read more

I had a un-rational fear of dentists for years. After experiencing some minor tooth aches and noticing my teeth were yellowing, I found the Chicago Smile Center on Google. Millie and Bianca are as nice as can be and go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable. Dr. Yahav, has helped me clean/whiten my teeth after years of neglect. I now feel comfortable having my regular cleanings and have no fear of unnecessary procedures. read more

Great pace!!! I was a new patient at Chicago Smile Center and was nervous about coming in for my appointment for a whitening but the front desk staff made me feel totally comfortable. Chandra, a beautiful girl working in front, seemed so enthusiastic and happy about me coming in for an appointment. Dr. Yahav is very professional and fast. My teeth look super white and stayed that way. Thank you Dr. Yahav. This place is highly recommended. Also, its really convenient that there are three locations so you can find the one closest to you. read more
