A Trusted Family Tradition in Dental Care

Under the leadership of Dr. Smita Patel, alongside Dr. Aakash Raav and Dr. Janki Bhalani, the practice has cultivated a reputation built on trust, compassion, and clinical excellence. Patients frequently describe the atmosphere as welcoming and homely, noting that the team treats individuals as family members rather than just patients. This long-standing commitment to community care is evident in the loyalty of many families who have returned for generations.
Comprehensive Treatments and Advanced Technology
The clinic offers a full spectrum of dental services designed to address both routine and complex needs. Patients benefit from state-of-the-art technology, including digital X-rays, 3D imaging, and CBCT scans, which allow for precise diagnostics and treatment planning. The specialized services highlighted by both the practice and patient reviews include:
- Implantology: Comprehensive solutions including All-on-X and single tooth implants, often praised for their seamless integration and natural feel.

Reviews consistently highlight the gentle hands of the doctors and the patient, explaining every step of the procedure to ensure the patient feels informed and secure. The team is commended for their patience with both children and adults, creating a stress-free environment. Many patients report that their visits are pain-free and that the staff’s empathetic approach makes dental care a pleasant experience rather than a chore.
Convenience, Accessibility, and Family Focus
Located conveniently near the Metra station with ample parking, the clinic is designed for easy access. It offers evening and Saturday appointments to accommodate busy schedules and accepts most major dental insurance plans, including Blue Cross Blue Shield and Delta Dental. For patients without insurance, the practice provides flexible financing options and an internal savings plan. The multilingual staff, fluent in English, Spanish, Hindi, and Guaraní, ensures clear communication for a diverse community. Additionally, the office is particularly noted for its excellent pediatric care, where young children are treated with kindness and patience, helping them build positive dental habits early on.

The office was clean and welcoming, and the front desk staff were friendly and efficient with check-in. The doctor was professional and took the time to explain what she was seeing during the exam, which I appreciated. The cleaning itself was thorough but gentle, and I didn’t feel rushed at any point during the visit. It was clear that patient comfort is a priority here. Overall, I would recommend Patel Family Dentistry for anyone looking for a caring and experienced dental provider.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going for over 20+ yrs, and I’ve wanted to leave my review. Smita has been taking care of me for a long time, great job with my wisdom teeth and cavities. I’ve also had great experiences with Janki & Aakaash for cleanings and molar repairs. They also take great care of my two daughters. I live about 35-40mins away, I pass many other dental offices along the route, but still choose to come here. Thank you Patel Family!
Thank you, Abel, for the wonderful review! We thoroughly enjoy seeing you all and take pride in comprehensive care for all ages!

Thank you, Matthew, for the wonderful review! We take our time with each patient and use the latest technology including CBCT, panoramic, and digital x-rays to diagnose and address all needs!
Fantastic experience: I needed a sleep apnea study for my DOT card, didn’t have insurance, it only cost $500 which is reasonable. Dr Balhani ( sorry if I butchered your name), was very helpful and professional.
Thank you, Lutfi, for your generous review! We strive in comprehensive health and are happy to have assisted you with the sleep study.
Fantastic experience: They’re always on time and professional and quick! I hate the X-rays and this was the easiest X-ray of my life because they have the latest technology that makes their jobs easier and puts the patient at ease. So happy I switched to their care!
Thank you, Teresa, for your wonderful review!

Fantastic experience: Very happy with the work they do for me. I've been coming to this place for more than 25 years.
Thank you, Marisela, for your review!
Negative experience: I had the worst experience at that practice. The dentist fixed my front tooth with a visibly different color and told me that it would even out when I drank red wine or coffee. Hmm? I had to go have it repaired somewhere else, and all the silver fillings with mercury recommended by the doctor there were replaced. Years later, I still can’t believe this happened to me.
Thank you for taking the time to send us a review, Tomas. Our records show that you haven't been here for over a decade and we have no records of you reaching out to us about this matter in the past or recently. Amalgam fillings are FDA approved and we follow those guidelines. If you have any concerns we are always available to help. We strive to provide excellent service to our patients. Thank you.
