Smiling Bright - Extra White - Teeth Whitening Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Really enjoyed coming here. I called and spoke to a person which is always nice. He broke down the price which was very competitive and gave me the rundown on what to expect. I purchased a 90 min package and walked out with white teeth. Game changer. I never felt rushed and the experience was painless and relaxing. I'll be back for sure. read more

Easy painless process, impressed with my results! I booked a 30-min pro flash directly through the Smiling Bright website with an end of year deal, and booked my appointment for a few weeks later. David called me before my appointment and let me know I was welcome to come a bit earlier since they had availability, which was perfect. When I arrived, David was super friendly and knowledgeable, and walked me through the process. I didn't need much convincing to tack on another 30 minutes for an hour total, and I'm glad I did because I had much better results at the 60 minute mark than I did after 30. And so far no sensitivity afterward which I was worried about! You apply vitamin E to protect your gum and lips, and hydrogen peroxide to your teeth yourself, then you chill for 30 minutes at a time. I (occasionally) enjoy being alone with my thoughts, so I enjoyed the time and thought it passed quickly. David had some good tunes going too. The space is nice looking and clean, good vibes. Highly recommend! read more

I had a good experience would go again to get my teeth whitened. My teeth were about three shades lighter after the whitening.

David embodies professionalism, kindness, and generosity, setting an exceptional standard. The service provided is truly top-class. Having tried various dental salons for teeth whitening, this place stands head and shoulders above the rest. The results were both painless and amazing. Remarkably, my brother echoed the same outstanding feedback. A definite recommendation for anyone seeking an unparalleled dental experience! Amazing place with, a great ambiance, and great technology. read more

I'm very happy with the service here. Clean treatment rooms, friendly staff. I had an expired gift certificate, and they honored it. Very nice. D. read more

My second time with the company, first time at Lincoln Park location. I have years of experience with teeth bleaching and this experience remains at the top of my list! David was amazing, accommodating and all around a great guy. The salon is clean, great music playing and presented a relaxing experience. I purchased a Groupon for myself and my friend, whom is getting married this week and David rolled out the red carpet. He was sure to explain everything to her, checked on us multiple times while under the "light" making sure we were not only comfortable, but in proper position to get the whitest teeth possible! I also have a 30min credit from 2 years ago...which I was sure had expired and David was clear to let me know it wasn't and it was on my profile for future use! I highly recommend this place for those new to teeth bleaching and experienced! Thanks David for being magical read more

Got a YouSwoop for this place, I go in tomorrow at noon for teeth whitening. I have a very good feeling already because the man on the phone was so nice, and my appointment scheduling was PROMPT! Next day: I'm FIVE shades whiter. Not dramatic, but noticeable. I don't want my teeth to look like fake Chiclets anyway. So, I liked it, but I don't think I'd pay the full price to go here. read more

100% recommend. It was my first try and it was much faster, more effective, and enjoyable than home whitening. Great value for: - prompt and flexible appointments - (I came in same day) - Quality service (David is very personable and knowledgeable) - Great results (wish I had a before and after but definitely walked out with a boost of confidence from my pearly whites) read more

David is great at what he does! He is super professional and truly wants you to optimize your results for whitening. He allowed me extra time in the chair and I was amazed at how white my teeth were from just the first session. Would absolutely go back again. read more

My boyfriend and I went in the other day and David was incredible. Not only were the results amazing but he made the time entertaining and really exceeded our expectations. I HIGHLY recommend this place read more

Very nice to work with. Walked me through the process and could see results immediately.

Came in here from a groupon ($179 I believe?) for a 60 minute pro white flash treatment. I have never really done teeth whitening before but since this was the highest tier you could purchase, I was pretty excited to have it done. When I arrived, David was SO kind. The place is not a dentist's office, it looks like there are just a few rooms solely for teeth whitening. He was very friendly and walked me through swabbing my gums/lips with Vitamin E to avoid the sensitivity of the whitening solution. It goes in 2-30 minute segments, with a break in between. You use a mouth retractor and a blue light, and definitely drool more than I can say. David was very attentive, coming in consistently, checking on my comfort, giving me paper towels for drool, adjusting the light, etc. His customer service is second-to-none, which is why I leave 3 stars. At the half hour mark when I went to the bathroom, I really noticed no difference. I was pretty disappointed to say the least, as that had been nearly $100 of whitening right there. After the second half hour, I was extremely disappointed. I thought the results were supposed to be immediate, but I honestly wasn't sure I saw a difference. David praised how many shades whiter my teeth were, so I smiled because I was like "Hm, he must know better than I! I'm sure I'll notice when I get home and compare before and after pics." On my way out, he offered me a today-only type of offer to secure future whitening packages. To be perfectly honest, I wasn't sold on it. The process had been uncomfortable and I really still didn't see any results. I know the whitening sessions are apparently valued at $300-500 or something, and he was offering me $179 or something similar for future sessions, but I really couldn't bring myself to seal that deal at that time. It's a lot of money for a student like myself, and this had already been a pretty big splurge for me.. I politely declined and then he made me a subsequent offer, which made me a little stressed out, but I also declined again. I informed him I needed to wait and see how I liked these results and also to see if I had any sensitivity. He assured me up and down I would have no sensitivity. I politely declined and excused myself. I will say, as the day went on, I DID, in fact, have sensitivity. I don't know if that's because I was rushed (he was standing right there) for the second half when I applied the Vitamin E to my gums? But I definitely had discomfort in my gums so that was a bit stressful and I am glad I did not purchase subsequent sessions. At the end of the day, I took a before and after in the same lighting in my room (will post soon), and really I cannot notice a difference. Maybe .5 shade at most? David reassured me after the first 30 minutes that I was 3-4 shades lighter, and I really don't believe that's true. I think it's likely something he says to everyone to hopefully support business and sales. I will post the before and after pics when I have time later today to show you what I mean.. Overall, for the price, and relative discomfort, I was a bit disappointed.. Likely would not return :( BUT, David was a very kind guy and his customer service is great so I have to give him that. read more

I am so happy I found this wonderful place on Groupon and actually USED IT! (Shhh! I don't always use my Groupons. Lol) David was witty, charming, funny and checked on the clients constantly. Although he offered to leave you alone if you were napping. He explained everything for this newbie. Upgraded me to the easier and better package for the difference in price. (I didn't know the difference so just bought the middle of the road package.) He even warned of how to sit down in the comfy chairs so you won't plop unceremoniously. I've never done any teeth whitening before so it was all very reassuring. The office is tastefully decorated. With purple accented walls. Ummmm...have I ever mentioned how much I love purple?? Anyhow, it's a little taxing at first to put that mouth stretcher in but you get used to it after a while. The session is split into two periods to give you a rest in between. Onto my teeth. Oh, my goodness! I am so glad I upgraded. (And that I came here!) My teeth are a lovely white now!! I can't wait to come back for my second session to get them to their whitest, natural color. Kudos to David for making this a simple and comforting experience. I would recommend Smiling Bright to anyone who's teeth need a bit of brightening. (Ps...I wish I'd taken a before picture so I could do a before and after.) read more

To start off, I've been dedicated to Smiling Bright for the past couple of years and could not be more pleased with the consistent results I receive. David & Kimberly are not only experts on what they do, but they brighten up the place with their positive attitudes, professionalism, and the services they provide. I have received numerous compliments in regards to my smile and that is thanks to the Pro Flash service. Moreso, cleanliness is never an issue and their step to step guidance will help you correlate with what you both want and need. If you want to see results, and most importantly smile bright, then this is the place to go to! Thank you, David and Kimberly! You two are the best! read more

Smiling Bright - Pro Flash! Best service and results that you can get! - Teeth Whitening Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I purchased their Groupon a couple of years ago because I wanted better results compared to what I had achieved in the past via a custom retainer and gel offered by my dentist. My dentist changed the gel formula I had used in previous years by decreasing the maximum application time and the results were disappointing. I was delightfully surprised at the immediate results after just an one hour Smile Bright service and have been a devoted customer since then. Why: 1. Immediate, visible results after a 30 or 60 minute session, their gel product, PRO FLASH, is awesome!!! 2. Zilch/no discomfort 3. Ease of scheduling appointments and location 4. Periodic promos so that one can add time to one's account for future use 5. Most importantly: GREAT, friendly and informative customer service provided by David and staff!! read more

I have been to Smiling Bright twice, both times with a Groupon. David (who I assume is the owner) is very nice, tries to make sure you're as comfortable as you can be with a giant plastic device in your mouth, and sort of reminds me of a combination of my dad and Jay Leno. My teeth aren't very yellow to begin with, and this last time I was mostly just looking for a little pop for my brother's upcoming wedding. After the treatment, which David said he was upgrading me to at no cost, I could see a difference for sure, albeit there were little white spots that I have never seen before. David explained that they are calcium and are simply a part of my teeth, and that the stains that had been there were covering them up. Not exactly a desired result, but certainly not his fault. The reason I am giving this three stars is because of his hard selling tactics that he used at the end. As a former Groupon employee (please, don't kill me) I know that businesses will often try to sell their products to make more profit off of customers using a deal. Totally fine and expected. But David made me feel very uncomfortable when he was trying to sell to me. After politely declining his initial offer of a discounted package, he slashed the price (literally, on a piece of paper) that he initially offered, saying he would cut me a further deal. Okay cool, but why wouldn't you offer that up front? Are there people that kindly accept the first offer thinking that they are really getting a deal only to really not have gotten the greatest discount? I politely declined again, to which he replied "You're killin' me!" and then slashed the price again. Of course I fumbled for a polite way to decline a third time, and thanked him for taking care of me. He gave me an angry look and said "Well then we're done." I told him to have a nice weekend and he stared at me without a reply and walked away. Maybe it was just an off day, maybe he was really trying to make rent (?), but it just put a bad taste in my mouth (lol?) about the whole process, and I don't think I will be going back. read more

David was very friendly and gracious - seems he gives everyone an 'upgrade' to Proflash, which according to his pricing chart is about $300 more than regular whitening (60 mins). He assisted me through the process of preparing myself before the lightening: Step 1) Swab gums with vitamin-e filled qtip. Make sure you place heavy coating particularly root of your teeth and inner lip. Step 2) Place plastic retractor in your mouth. Relax your cheeks and let it do its job. Step 3) He's going to show you how to use the whitening gel pen. I bought the 60 min option. It's broken down into 2 30 min sessions. My experience: The first 30 mins, I didn't have a problem with gum-burn, but the next 30 burnt a couple spots. Unfortunately for me, I couldn't tell much difference with results. With the Proflash, David said, I would be able to go up to 3-4 shades lighter (showing me the hues of teeth-model). He praised how white my teeth became, but I was visibly disappointed. My initial shade was in the upper quadrant of the scale, so maybe that's why I can't see a drastic change, but on the color scale, 2-3 shades whiter was definitely a stark contrast from my current shade. All in all, David is great, but for the price (even the Groupon price), you'll have greater results getting a bleach tray and whitening syringes from your dentist. Photos: read more

Ehhh the 30 minute teeth whitening didn't make much of difference. I can see a little bit of change, but not much and it definitely did not do anything for the teeth on the side, which I was hoping it would. I could probably do the 1 hour and get more effect, but this process was a little painful for me. I already felt a little sting in my gums within the first few minutes. But I am surprise that it did not leave my teeth sensitive and I have quite the sensitive teeth! read more

Smiling Bright - Teeth Whitening Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Went back for a 1 hour Pro Flash treatment a week before my wedding! Great results. My teeth are 4 shades lighter! The Pro Flash is much less messy and just an overall more comfortable process than the other basic whitening treatment. The gel goes directly on your teeth instead of the trays. Easy! I thought it was going to be miserable sitting there for an hour, but it really wasn't bad at all. David is fantastic! He always checks to make sure you are doing okay, he explains the process well (swab your gums with vitamin e, etc) and makes sure you are happy with the results. read more

What a great experience! I got a deal off of Groupon here for 60 minute basic teeth whitening and wasn't sure what to expect as I'd Only used at home white strips. They explained the entire process step by step and made me feel comfortable. Once I got there, without me even asking, they upgraded me to the best flash pro whitening product! To top it off, you do your 60 minute session in two sessions (one right after another) of 30 minutes and they extended each time to 40 minutes giving me 20 additional minutes under the UV light for free. Not only were they over accommodating, but you can tell they really care about their customers and enjoy what they do. My teeth look great! I would highly suggest coming here and will definitely be back soon! Thank you for everything! read more

I have been to Smiling Bright twice now. The place is Super clean, with friendly staff, online scheduling, fair prices and very good results.

A smile says a lot and Smiling Bright makes it easy to look my best and maintain a youthful brightness to my teeth. It's Worth every dollar and more convenient than waiting for my dentist; it's more economical too. read more

Smiling Bright - Teeth Whitening Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

As the business card states: Safe, affordable, fast and easy teeth whitening. I have been here years ago and just recently came back to Smiling Bright. I am a cancer survivor and had to take a pause with certain beauty routines. Now that I back in full recovery David picked up right where we left off. I expressed that I needed to budget and he came up with a package that suits my needs- I even have take home pens for touch ups in between whitening. We really hit it hard today with an hour treatment plus some extra time (I had the time so I went for it). Typically a half hour session does it but if you want to have noticeably whiter teeth you should plan for an hour. My teeth are happy! I am happy! And I thank Smiling Bright for their generosity and customer service. read more

Smiling Bright - Teeth Whitening Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I went to smiling bright right before my wedding. I went to the website and saw they had "daily specials" for last minute openings, that weren't booked. I booked my "last minute" deal over the phone. The customer service rep was wonderful, informative and very upbeat. Upon arrival I was able to find metered parking right in front. I was very excited about this! The process was painless and quite fun because I had my fun and light hearted teenager with me. The owner was great! He offered me the "Pro Flash" for free...imagine that! I was grateful and honored that he would do that for me. The problem I had was that I literally noticed no change in my teeth. He did mention before he started that my teeth already "looked pretty good." My daughter swore my teeth were way brighter (2 shades) and so did the owner. Without my daughters co-sign I would have been pretty skeptical. My wedding was only 48 hours away...so maybe I was a little too overwhelmed to see the beautiful teeth, they now described. ;) Overall 5 star service, but 4 start teeth. I wish I could give 4.5 stars. read more

I puchased a groupon in June 2020. Due to the pandemic and lost of loses in my family I was not able to make an appointment until yesterday. At this point my voucher expired. David (Owner) found an old voucher from 6 years ago that I never redeemed. To my surprise he honored it! 6 years! that should say enough for his honest character. Now getting to the review of the Pro Flash 60 minute session I recieved... My teeth are sparkling white! Pro Flash is terrific! BTW.. He also has a box of doggy treats and goes outside an offers them to his four legged friends. He is a Gem! read more

I purchased a Groupon for a 60 min Pro Flash treatment with not the biggest expectations, but since i'm getting married in a week i figured i would give it a shot. My teeth are no where near perfect or straight or white but within arriving David put me at ease. I have always been very self conscious of my teeth but i felt super comfortable with the entire process. I always thought that teeth whitening was painful and uncomfortable but it was nothing of that sort. David was a pure pleasure! so helpful and super funny! He even gave me some extra time which i appreciated very much. I would definitely recommend coming to Smiling Bright if you are in need of a quick and painless teeth whitening :) I will for sure be back! read more

Fantastic place and people who work there! I had Pro Flash 90 min done and my teeth are absolutely white. So happy with the result. Highly recommend this place on Lincoln Ave! read more

Smiling Bright - Teeth Whitening Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I had a confirmed appointment and arrived 5 minutes early but due to a misunderstanding the office was closed. I did receive a call from the owner the next day who offered me free treatments due to the inconvenience. So, I will move forward and update this review again if all goes well. read more

I had never had my teeth whitened so I was a bit nervous. David was incredibly kind and helpful and made the process easy. I was worried about having to sit for 30 minutes with a plastic piece in my mouth keeping my teeth showing, but it wasn't so bad. I was pleasantly surprised that it didn't hurt my teeth or gums at all and my teeth definitely looked whiter afterwards. I am going to go back for another session next month. It was easy, painless and it worked! David was great and made me happy about choosing this place. read more

FAIL!!!! BUYER BEWARE!! I just made a yelp! profile to leave this comment. There really should be a negative star for ratings. I'd purchased an $89/1 hr. brightening for Smiling Bright from Groupon and SET AN APPOINTMENT on Monday, for today(Thursday). Because I work, I'd prepared my workload earlier in the week to make today's appointment. When I saw "Chief Smiling Bright" at the counter, he informed me there was no appointment on the books, as he took my phone and labeled the Groupon as "Used". Then he proceeded to tell me there was nothing available until next week...I'm out of town for 2 weeks and in a wedding(which is WHY I was getting the service). I contacted Groupon and because he changed the groupon to "used"...guess what , I DON'T GET MONEY BACK. I asked if I could be fit in, or if they could help me out some way, since the sign on the door says "Walk-ins welcome, Appointments Guaranteed," and he said NO...but maybe someone will cancel. Uh, this os YOUR fault, not mine and I won't rearrange ANOTHER day, so that I MIGHT get an opening. The "Chief Smiling Bright" is the most lethargic, apathetic person I've met in Chicago. When I told him this was unprofessional and bad customer service, he shrugged his shoulders and said..."Well." They may not mess up the first time, but wait for it because people like this eventually show their true colors. Honestly, I've never felt more robbed by a business....HE CHANGED THE SERVICE TO USED IN GROUPON, WITHOUT GIVING ME THE SERVICE!!! That's stealing, C'mon! read more

The owner is a nice guy. However, the customer does everything. I applied the chemical (the secret item to whiten your teeth) on my teeth with a brush. I guess i expected him to do it .....compared to a dentist. My teeth were lighter. I did 60 minutes. However, i didn't like the multiple signs that said "tips greatly appreciated"....You're already paying a good amount for the service, all he does is turn on a lamp and check the timer. The customer does everything. At least my teeth were a bit lighter. ....but my teeth weren't too yellow to begin with. Also didn't like that he wanted to sell me other "discounted" packages at the end of the appointment. .... read more

Let me address your response, Kimberly. NO...we were not willing to pay you $50 for something that DAVID promised did not expire. SO glad that you were finally able to find a record of our visit, as you mention we were there 2/26/11 (David insisted that we had not been there because he could not find a record of our visit, but he COULD see that we DID purchase an at home treatment.) Not sure how your comment about being effective yet not having been whitened recently connects, but let me explain that the process just made no difference in the whiteness of our teeth! You say honor on a "case to case basis"...does that mean that someone else might have received a different outcome? Guess your computer tracking system wasn't working that day since David insisted to my son (I could hear him while talking to my son on the phone, and later in a phone call to me), that he could NOT find our appointment in your system. Again, I repeat, he could only find record of our purchase of a home treatment. I did NOT schedule a treatment later that day, Kimberly. I scheduled my treatment at the same time I scheduled my son's, for different days. David contacted me after my son (angrily) left the store, saying he would write a Yelp review. He offered for my son to come back in an hour! Really? Like he was just waiting around to come back to this place? David then, told me to have my son reschedule "whenever". He was none too happy about it...again...."too little, too late" and not with his best customer service hat on. Regarding me NOT showing up. Seriously? You guys should have a little more communication. I CALLED and canceled my appointment, Kimberly. I was NOT asked if I would like to reschedule. A no show would have been very unprofessional...not my style. Probably the one good thing that will come out of all of this dialogue, is that this type of situation will occur less for your future customers read more

Maybe my teeth just don't get very white. But I couldn't see a difference after this procedure. I had used a groupon so thankfully didn't spend too much. Besides the poor results, I found the process so odd and uncomfortable. What we do for beauty.... Was left in a room with plastic stuff jammed in my mouth that was way too big for me. Struggled the whole time to keep it in and drooled like a bulldog. Gross. The attendant didn't check on me. I felt so gross. Like "why am I drooling in this office room by myself?" Won't be back. read more

Eh, not much of a difference, and mine were in desperate need of a whitening. Still are. The place is super clean and the tech is helpful and nice and didn't make me feel awkward even though I looked like Mr. Ed with the big mouthpiece in. I got suckered into buying the at home whitening kit though which I'm not happy with at all. It's a gel you put in this mouthguard on top of gel-like pieces that conform to your teeth. After 5 uses (out of the provided 14), these molds are disintegrating and making it so that the whitening gel doesn't even touch some front teeth. Waste of $40. May consider the laser treatment again with a coupon, since this place advertises like crazy & apparently offers deals on every discount site imaginable, but wouldn't pay full price and definitely wouldn't purchase any additional kits. Update *** AMAZING customer service They definitely go the extra mile. read more

Pro flash was great! Staff super friendly too! I've done a number of different teeth whitening methods and this place definitely is the best! read more

Four stars for service, but one star for result. The place is nice, the service was good, but my gums are bleeding right now. I went in on Wednesday and applied the vitamin E before starting the treatment. I was told that even if my gums did turn white, it would fade. 30 uncomfortable minutes later (it's not ever going to be comfortable, I don't think -- your mouth is stretched open, you've got plastic poking you, and you're drooling), my teeth had whitened about 2 shades but my gums were even whiter. I had two large areas, spanning about 3 teeth each, where my gums were bright white. The owner gave me some vitamin E afterwards to help ease the whiteness, and it did start to fade. What I wasn't expecting, however, is that two days later, large chunks of my gums started to turn white again and peel off. Brushing is incredibly uncomfortable, and my gums are bleeding about half of the day. I understand that it's somewhat par for the course with teeth whitening. After all, you are putting strong chemicals in your mouth. However, if I would have known it would be this bad, I never would have done it. My teeth did get whiter after leaving the office, and the calcium deposit spots have faded. However, it's nothing that 10 days of Whitestrips can't do. read more

Update on last visit. So on the last visit, I noticed maybe a 2 shade difference. I had been doing some at home teeth whitening at the time so maybe this is why I didn't see as much of a difference. I came in today about 6 months later for a 2nd visit. Since my last visit, I've continued to drink coffee and wine. I have NOT been using any of my normal teeth whitening routine aside from a toothpaste that states that is whitening. Again, it wasn't a miracle but I did notice a more significant difference than previously.... think like a natural white not a cartoonish white. Service was again fantastic. David is still so incredibly gracious. read more
