Our Clients Absolutely Adore Us
”I decided to go to Dental Smiles of West Loop after a recommendation from a friend. I've had extremely bad experiences with dentists in the past and have dental anxiety because of this. Dr Shah listened to my concerns and actively checked in with me during my routine cleaning. She made sure I understood what tool she would be using and what purpose they served. All of the staff made me feel extremely comfortable and I felt like I could manage my anxiety because of their support and kindness. I would highly recommend this dental practice to everyone, especially those with dental anxiety.

”Positive dental experience and great cleaning. My husband came home bragging about Dr. Shah and her team and I have to agree with him. An exceptionally pleasant first-visit experience!
Y'Shanda R5 Stars
”Great experience as a new patient! As someone who has managed dental offices for a decade, I found myself in a position to search for a dentist on my own after a job change to the technology side of the dental industry. I was nervous to visit a new office, partly because I’m so familiar with how offices run and didn’t want to have a bad experience. Dr. Shah was so kind, she did my cleaning and made me feel comfortable despite some sensitivity I have and was thorough in explaining what she saw in my mouth. I’m so glad to have found a great dentist so close to my house and on the first attempt nonetheless! I definitely recommend visiting the office and can say with confidence, you’ll be well taken care of!
