Dental Health Care" vs. "Disease Care
At Start Smiling Dental Center, we pride ourselves on being the leading locally owned and operated dental implant and restorative practice, serving patients in Chicagoland and across the United States.

Patient Testimonials
We pride ourselves on changing people's lives with a smile. Here are just a few testimonials from our satisfied patients:
- "I would highly recommend Start Smiling Dental. I had full mouth Implants put in with Dr. Paul and his staff for this procedure! I'm from South Bend, IN. and no Dentists around here used Zircona posts. They all still use metal posts, which I didn't want. I got referred from a Florida dentist to Dr. Paul and I'm very happy with the final results! Thank you Start Smiling Dental!" - John R.
- "Life changing! Before surgery my life was very hard navigating what foods I could eat. Different temperature foods would affect that as well. Now after surgery and having my finals food isn't even a thought. I'm free to eat basically whatever I want. That in itself is so freeing. I use to have extreme pain while eating and that's no longer the case. The transformation is absolutely incredible. I love my smile and makes me feel almost no self-consciousness & that's the most amazing feeling. Thanks to Dr. Paul and his team for something that truly changed my life for the better!" - Jeremy K.
- "I wish I had the words to begin to describe how much Dr. Paul and staff have changed my life. They made me feel so comfortable and confident about my procedure. Recovery was not terrible like I had thought it would be. Everyone around me says I am a different person. The benefits go far beyond the way I look. I have a new fresh start in life. I owe it all to Dr. Paul and his amazing staff! I truly would recommend anyone who is considering this type of procedure do yourself and family a favor and make this your first call." - Jim P.
