What patients say about Smile Works Dentistry & Orthodontics in Lake Forest
Across 73 Google reviews, Smile Works Dentistry & Orthodontics in Lake Forest averages 4.9 stars, and the written comments are more telling than the score. The compliments that repeat are about friendly staff and clear explanations, and several people bring up gentle and painless care too. These are not vague five star notes either, since patients describe real visits and name orthodontics, cleanings and deep cleanings and fillings in their comments.
A recurring line is that the numbing worked and nothing hurt, including for self described dental cowards. When emergencies happened, patients report the office found a way to fit them in quickly. The overall impression is of a steady, well run practice rather than one riding a few glowing notes.

I have major anxiety going to the dentist. Even a cleaning is a major anxiety-producing event for me. Dr Haider was AMAZING and very patient with me. Bashar-- and the rest of the office staff were just as amazing. Very professional office. I recommend Smile Works in Lake Forest to anyone looking for quality dental care.

This place is great! They are all so nice and made me feel so much better about my teeth even though it had been forever since I had seen a dentist and need a lot of work done. They are just really kind people and very gently with their work. Would totally recommend!
