“Without a doubt, the best dental experience I’ve ever had! The entire staff is wonderful, kind, caring and extremely competent. Dr. Ali Tekdogan is wonderful and makes every effort to ease your anxiety. I only wish I found him sooner, and not the week I was moving out of state! Even that was remarkable, as he rushed my crown order and had me all squared away in less than a week! If you’re looking for a new dentist…do yourself a favor and make an appointment with Great Smile Dental!”

“Dr. Ali Tekdogan is the best dentist in the Chicago area, period. He is not only kind and courteous, but he takes genuine interest in his patients. He cares about their worries, he cares about their needs, and he provides great service. One time, he discovered an issue with one of my teeth. I told him I didn’t have the money to get it done at the moment. He said “no problem, the tooth will be ok for about 4-5 months, and we can take care of it in your next visit.” What other dentist do you guys know that suggests saving you money?”
