“This was one of the best dentist experiences I’ve been to. What really stood out to me was the front desk attendant came to my room to show me an estimate of the costs so I could consent to any additional procedures knowing that in mind. There are way too many providers who will just offer you a service and don’t tell you how expensive it will be. This shows they really cared.”

About Dr. Sayali Patankar
Hi, I'm Dr. Sayali Patankar!
I'm a general dentist passionate about making dental visits as comfortable and positive as possible-that's why I chose Pure Dental Spa! I focus on comprehensive, cosmetic, restorative, and same-day digital dentistry using the best technology.
I grew up in the Chicago area and earned my Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from the University of Illinois Chicago. After two years practicing in Texas, I took time off to travel and recharge. I'm excited to be back home and to care for patients in the Lincoln Park and surrounding communities!

The best dentist experience I’ve ever had! They truly make you feel like you’re at a spa while maintaining professionalism. The staff was very kind and communicated to me well about going over my exam and any service costs. I appreciated their transparency about pricing, it was clear they were not trying to “trick me” into additional unnecessary add ons. Staff was also very intelligent and did their jobs well.

This was hands down the best dental visit I’ve ever had! The whole team was so thorough and made me feel completely at ease from start to finish. They took the time to really understand my background, used super high-tech photos and tools, and explained everything in a way that made sense so I knew exactly what we were looking at and what my treatment plan would be.
The office itself felt more like a spa than a dentist, with amenities I’ve never experienced anywhere else, which made the whole appointment surprisingly enjoyable. Everyone was so knowledgeable, friendly, and patient—I left feeling confident, cared for, and actually excited about my dental care. Couldn’t recommend them more!

I have a bit of dental anxiety so I was a bit nervous when I had to wait over 30 minutes to be seen. I appreciated the tremsparency when I was told they wouldn't be able to do all of my fillings at one time.
