Going to Smile Science was like walking into a luxury hotel. The lobby is furnished with modern furniture and the front desk staff does an excellent job of making me feel welcome with a friendly greeting. Mari was my hygienist and she was very knowledgeable and walked me through her step-by-step process. Dr. Monica Urda was very personable and she was very accommodating in staying longer to help me fix my tooth. She was very thorough in her procedure for my crown.
October 29, 2024Daniel L.Verified patient
I have a lot of anxiety when it comes to dentist visits, but the staff here was so accommodating. The hygienist took it super slow, gave me lots of breaks to kind of reset and didn't make me feel bad for being such a baby lol. The doctor was kind but to the point, which I also appreciated. I had a great experience here.
September 30, 2024Cynthia G.Verified patient
I had an excellent experience. I haven't been to a dentist in far too long. I was nervous and embarrassed. No one that I encountered made me feel bad. Everyone there was so kind and welcoming. And bonus, they have a tv on the ceiling for you to watch during the cleaning which is a fun addition.
April 23, 2024Brittany K.Verified patient
My first visit was great! The staff made me feel welcome, and not embarrassed about the status of my teeth! I will be going back so we can take this journey to the perfect smile that I dream of!!!!
January 10, 2024Brittany J.Verified patient
This was my first cleaning after the pandemic and the staff couldn't have been more welcoming. Melanie who did my cleaning was amazing and so sweet. I moved further away from their office but I'm happy to go out of my way because this place is full of empowering lady bosses!

Dr. Urda is wonderful. This office location is very on top of things and keeps the patient experience in mind. There are TVs you can watch while they clean your teeth.

Love Dr. Urda! She has a great bedside manner and makes me feel super comfortable. Always listens to my issue and doesn't try to push treatment that isn't immediately necessary (i.e. getting wisdom teeth pulled or cavities filled) when I'm not ready or able to do so.

Loved her! Great experience
May 13, 2021Kelsey B.Verified patient
LOVED my experience with Dr. Monica and her staff. I haven't been to a dentist in something like 8 years (personal stuff)....I had a fair amount of anxiety about the state of my mouth. But Reina and Dr. Monica made me feel at home, answered all of my dumb questions, and used really cool technology to show me what my teeth are looking like. Dr. Monica is super chill, very reassuring and obviously knows her stuff. Booking was super easy and I can tell they were setting me up for long term success. I'd recommend Dr. Monica and staff to any of my friends or family. Yay for finally taking care of my teeth again!
March 10, 2021Gabrielle R.Verified patient
If you’re looking for a new dentist I highly recommend Smile Science Chicago! The staff is super friendly and they take good care of you and make sure you’re comfortable the entire time. The process of making an appointment was super easy and they checked my dental insurance benefits for me. If there’s anything treatment wise outside of a normal check up they discuss a treatment plan with you along with what to expect cost wise. Melanie was my dental hygienist and she was absolutely wonderful! Dr. Urda was also great. Just because I feel like it’s worth noting, there are friggin TVs on the ceiling and you can watch whatever you want on Netflix while you get your teeth cleaned so....10/10 recommend, look no further.
March 1, 2021Carla H.Verified patient
One of the most thorough and best dental offices I have ever visited. Impressed by the knowledge and professionalism of all staff members from reception to hygienists to the dentist.
February 12, 2021Kathleen K.Verified patient
Dr. Urda is fantastic. She was up to date on the latest research on pregnancy and dental treatments, which I greatly appreciated. She is highly knowledgable and explains things in a clear manner, but also is very personable. Highly recommend.

I didn’t get to see Dr. Urda herself, but the office was lovely! Very clean, I felt so informed about everything that was happening. Such a pleasant experience.

Al M.Verified patient
Dr. Urda is very personable and makes you feel at ease. She is great at making you feel like a priority and explains treatments in a way that is easy to understand. The office itself is clean and very new and I had a pleasant experience with both of my dental hygienists. Overall I'm so happy I found this office in my neighborhood.

Literally best dentist in Chicago
July 23, 2020Guillermo V.Verified patient
Dr Urda has been my dentist for the last 3 years, and has been nothing but warm and sweet, thorough, helpful, and comforting. One weekend I had a REALLY bad toothache and had to call the emergency line after hours, and left a voicemail. she got back to me only 10 minutes after and listened to my symptoms and set up an appointment with me for the next office day! I felt very taken care of!

Monica Urda and Staff were very nice and informative. They explained everything in detail & used language you can understand. 5 Stars!!

Was recommended by a coworker. They were able to see me the same day (30 minutes earlier than my scheduled appointment even!) to take a look at a wisdom tooth issue and to get a thorough cleaning. They alleviated my wisdom tooth pain, walked me through everything, and referred me to an oral surgeon. My dental insurance is expiring and they were able to get everything taken care of today, so I wouldn’t have to worry about it. They also have super affordable in-office plans for people in between or without dental insurance. Totally recommend!
September 30, 2019Cailyn F.Verified patient
I’ve been going to Dr. Urda for over a year now. I’ve had to have several procedures (root canals, fillings, crowns, etc) that would usually be painful and uncomfortable. Dr. Urda is very gentle and very knowledgeable. Whenever I’ve had something significant done, the office calls just to make sure I’m okay. On the rare instances that I have unexpected pain, or a temp crown falling out, they are always able to see me either that day or the next. For procedures I’ve had to go to a specialist for, she’s recommended me to fantastic doctors in my network. Once I had an emergency procedure done by a different dentist because it was outside of her office hours and I need immediate care. That dentist cause several other problems that Dr Urda fixed, some for which she didn’t even charge me for because she felt bad that the other dentist didn’t provide adequate care, and then reassured me that if I ever was in that situation again to call her emergency line and she would figure out a way to get me the care I need or to a proper dentist. She’s really just the best. And the TV’s on the ceiling are a great distraction and help make the appointment much more enjoyable. Will never go to another dentist.
March 19, 2019Megan P.Verified patient
Great dentist, but the other staff members didn’t seem to be great at their jobs (forgot to do flossing, not good at suctioning, put the fluoride treatment in my to go bag instead of on my teeth, long wait time, confused about how to get my change).

Honestly, the best dentist experience I've ever had. Dr. Urda and her hygienist were super friendly and chill. I got to watch Bob's Burgers during my cleaning. 10/10 would recommend.

Dr. Urda was fantastic! Her and her staff eased any anxieties I had about seeing the dentist and let me know the process step by step before starting any of the procedure. I felt really comfortable being there, very processional and helpful.

I had a very pleasant experience at Dr. Monica Urda clinic. The staff were very prompt answering my questions and professional. They made sure I understood what they were doing at each step. The Dr. Monica and her staff explained the process and my status very clearly. I was in and out sooner than I expected. I definitely recommend Dr. Monica Urda for dental examination and cleaning.
August 4, 2018Dheeraj G.Verified patient
Everything was explained in detail so I knew exactly what was going on and what had to be done. It was painless and watching the TV on the ceiling took my mind off the dental work.
