Dentist in Edgewater, Chicago

Excellent vibes here. Everyone was super friendly and easy-going while also very professional. Doctor was very knowledgeable, honest, kind, and friendly! He also did my cleaning himself, which I thought was pretty cool and respectable. My cleaning was extremely thorough - the difference afterward was night and day. Overall could not be more pleased with my new dentist.

I can’t say enough about these professionals! From the moment I walked in the office, they treated me like family. And, Dr Daria was the epitome of what one would want in a dentist; thorough, kind, and efficient. I was worried about this visit, but honestly, I left the office feeling really good about the dental care I’m receiving! A++ And, yes….. this is a real person who didn’t know the staff before this afternoon. Larry

Paige, the admin at the frontdesk is attentive, friendly, and wonderful! She's inquisitive, genuinely interested in patients, and can offer helpful feedback. The reception area offers a hospitable touch with its selection of coffee options and fresh bottled water. Both the hygienist and dentist did an excellent job reviewing my dental plan with me and offering care and treatment.

I've had some pretty poor experiences with dentists being pushy, forceful while doing procedures, or staff having poor people skills. However, everyone here was friendly and made sure I was comfortable. The person at the front desk also helped me break down what insurance covered, what costs out of pocket would be, etc. Definitely will be back and recommend Lakeview Smiles for anyone else with dentist anxiety.

I used to be very afraid of the dentist before I started coming here due to past trauma. The Doctor and Staff (I’m bad with names) are all kind and patient with me which is so appreciated. Their service is thorough and efficient as well. I will definitely recommend the Edgewater location!! Thanks you guys.

This office is one of the cleanest dentist I’ve ever been to in Chicago hands down. On top of the fact, the entire staff was super approachable. Paige was a complete doll and super helpful for me personally! She told me about an amazing membership program and thoroughly discussed payment options with me. I will DEFINITELY be transferring my care to this dental office going forward because of how comfortable she made me feel. Loved it!

I haven’t had my appointment yet. Though if the super helpful front staff Paige was any indication of patient care then I’m sure I’m going to have an amazing visit. She answered all my questions seamlessly and was able to find an appointment that worked best for me and saved me the headache of having to move around my entire life for the appointment. Which was super appreciated!! Thanks Paige!

Paige was so professional, helping me over the phone to give me information about the office and the procedure that I want it to get at the office. I think she is one of the best managers that I have spoken to in the office. Lakeview, smiles is one of the best dental offices in the Chicago land area and I really recommend everyone. And their family too go to lakeview, four any dental treatment that you need. ✨️👏🌹

Nice try Try again lol

They took me same day when I was in intense pain. Paige was knowledgeable and fast at the front desk. Dr. Kim and his staff in back rapidly helped me. I had two teeth that had to be removed. I've had extractions done before, but this was by far the best and most professional. The numbing medicine was injected flawlessly, I did not feel a single thing when they removed the teeth. I say thank you to the people here, they know what they are doing.

Came to Lakeview smiles because my previous dentist location refused to order my retainer after it broke. Denise was very understanding about my situation and helped schedule an appointment for me within 2 days! The office looked clean and everyone was really nice!

Everyone in the office was warm and friendly. I was quite nervous and Dr. Kim and his assistant took such great care of me. The service was efficient and I really appreciate the time Dr. Kim took to explain the situation before beginning treatment! He was gentle and patient with me. The key for me was that I was not made to feel ashamed or judged which has not been my experience in the past. Overall, best experience I could have had in my situation. Highly recommend this office and Dr. Kim!

I’ve been going to Lakeview Smiles at the Belmont location on a recommendation from a friend after my dentist moved to the far suburbs. Over the years I have always had an ease of convenience with scheduling, payments, conversations with the staff that work there. When I found out that Lakeview Smiles was opening up a location in Edgewater I was thrilled. Saved myself 10 mins on my commute since I live not far from there.

What excellent service! I had been here before for a standard cleaning which was great, but this time I had to get two cavities filled and a crown replaced. Dr. Kim and Kevin did a fantastic job making sure the job got done well, and they made sure I was comfortable the whole time. Kevin took some great X-Rays and helped Dr. Kim fill my cavities. Dr. Kim designed my new crown and installed it very well. This place is full of kind, professional, and intelligent people. Thank you so much! I will return for any dental work needed in the future.

My visit to the dental office was exceptional thanks to Dr. Kim's expertise and in-depth explanation of my dental health. His assistant, Irene, was also remarkable in her professionalism and competence. The recipient She went above and beyond by providing a thorough explanation of all the costs associated with my visit. Based on my experience, I highly recommend this dental practice to anyone looking for excellent dental care. I recently had the pleasure of receiving a dental cleaning from Kayla, Dr. Kim’s assistant. Her professionalism and expertise in dental hygiene were evident throughout the entire process.I appreciate her commitment to patient care, and I highly recommend her services to others seeking top-notch dental hygiene.

The office is beautiful. The staff is super friendly. The cleaning and fillings were done very fast and thoroughly. They’re very good at explaining what they’re doing, what you need, and being upfront about costs. They took images of my teeth and then used the images to show me what I where I needed fillings. I was very impressed by the level of care and transparency. I had a great experience. I would 100% recommend this office.

Just finished my last set of trays for my Invisalign and it went amazing!! I’m super happy with the results. Everyone on the ortho staff is great! Special thanks to Dr. Jones and Mirian for being so helpful and nice throughout the whole process! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a dentist or needs an orthodontist. Also, Denise has been very helpful scheduling appointments and helping me walk through the payment process when necessary. 10/10!

This was my first visit at Lakeview Smiles, and quite frankly, I have not had such a good experience at the dentist in a long time. Jen at the front desk is so kind and upbeat, and instantly made me feel comfortable in a medical environment that was new to me. Dr. Kalafus ensured that I received all the dental care I needed, while comprehensibly explaining some of her minor concerns that could be adressed early through preventative treatment. I left the office with no pain whatsoever, and felt happy and relieved to have found this facility. Thank you so much!

I really had a great experience here. I have terrible dental anxiety & was definitely struggling when I walked in. The receptionist was super sweet and the overall ambiance of the office is so cute/modern. It was really clean also and the dental hygentist Cynthia was the sweetest person ever! She was super patient with me throughout the X-rays and was very chatty/kept me calm and distracted. I’m not dreading going back to get my cavities filled like I normally would because they made me feel so safe! Hopefully this is the end of my dental anxiety :)

Everything about my experience was great from the moment I walked in! Jennifer really set the tone and made me feel comfortable about asking questions, and getting my smile on the right track. The doctor did an amazing job of explaining my current oral situation, and laid out a plan that left me feeling very confident about the next steps. You should definitely stop by!

I had such a fantastic first appointment today with Dr. Kalafus. After not being able to go to the dentist for 2 years, she was able to quickly identify any problems and quickly took care of half of them day of. Fadi, who assisted, and Jennifer at the desk were both wonderful and kind, and helped me make sense of my options and how my insurance played into my treatment options. The new office is clean and fun, and I would highly recommend it!

I was previously going to the Belmont location for quite some time. I was happy to see this new location open closer to my home. The office is beautiful and modern. The staff is just as amazing. Dr. Kalafus was thorough, informative and made me feel at ease. Glad to have you all in the area!

The whole staff here is AMAZING and so gentle. I was super nervous to go to a dentist because I’ve neglected teeth care for a number of years. I wrote this in my notes when making the appointment. Jennifer, at the front desk, was very very helpful throughout the process from texting me my appointment reminder, getting my insurance information, rescheduling, etc. Dr. Kalafus is so sweet and gentle. She explained everything to me thoroughly and made a treatment plan for me that will be in my benefit for the long run instead of doing what my other dentists did which was patch work. The dental hygienist was also literally so so sweet. She made sure I was okay throughout my time in the chair. They took really good care of me and I am super confident in my journey with them from now to whenever I will be done getting all my oral problems fixed. They also have an oral surgeon, orthodontist, etc at their other locations who work closely to figure out what route is best for you. Also they have state of the art technology!! Check it out to see for yourself :)

I have huge dental anxiety, but this place is great. All the staff, from the front desk to the dentists, are super sweet and supportive. Just got my first crown. Not only was it literally and figuratively painless, but I got to watch the super cool process they used to manufacture my crown on-site, in about 10 minutes. I also got a broken filling replaced. They were really attentive and responsive when I was able to feel a little pinch during the drilling. And they did not skimp on the novocaine, which was clutch. Highly recommend!
