Dental Smiles of West Loop
Ankita Shah, DMD:
Practice Profile Page

Hands down the best dentist I’ve ever been to. Dr. Shah is the kindest, skilled dentist, and a terrific communicator. I always get anxious when I go to a dentist, but that didn’t apply here. Dr. Shah laid out the treatment options and was very patient in explaining any questions I had. The wait time is also always minimal (I was able to get my two appointments done during my lunch hour), and the service is great. As soon as you sit down, they’ll offer you the option of aromatherapy, a massaging chair, and Netflix.

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Shah. To start everyone was extremely nice and helpful at this office. Dr. Shah spend great lengths explaining everything in detail to me. She also never pushed any procedures and was honest about whether a procedure was necessary or not(which has not been the case with other dentist in the past). It was a wonderful experience. Dr Shah has a lot of experience in her field and truly has a passion for her job. She really cares for her patients, and goes the extra mile. Additionally, I was really comforted during my procedure. I was able to watch Netflix, and they had a massage chair. Thank you so much Dr. Shah! I’m no longer scared of going to see a dentist :).

I visited Dr Shah for my 3 year old daughter’s very first dental check up. My daughter was extremely nervous before going. But to my relief, Dr Shah’s office was a breath of fresh air and offered the kind of comfort a mom looks for while visiting a dentist. From the first step in, the staff made us feel right at home. Everything was on time, nothing felt rushed and the office was professionally run. They followed strict Covid protocols to ensure our safety. The front desk was helpful in guiding us through the full process. Dr Ankita Shah was patient and gentle with my daughter. She helped my daughter feel safe on the chair. The appointment lasted well over our designated time, but Dr Shah made sure she did a thorough job. Throughout the entire visit, I felt my daughter was in good hands. My daughter had stains on her teeth caused by chromogenic bacteria that needed to be removed. Dr Shah explained what was going on every step of the procedure and answered my questions at length, making sure my daughter was at ease at all times. We left with such a positive experience that my daughter still remembers Dr Ankita Shah as the “nice doctor” who cleaned her teeth and made them “pearly white”. I would highly recommend this clinic to anyone and will definitely be visiting again.

I’ve attended this dental practice for a couple of years now, and I recommend it to anyone I know who is in need of a new dentist. Dr. Shah and her staff are friendly, competent, and very mindful of being gentle and reducing unnecessary anxiety. Dr. Shah is an exceptional communicator and I say that as someone who has worked in health care. I recommended her to a family member who was dealing with some dental anxiety, and he found her demeanor so reassuring he switched immediately.

I love going here. Christine at the front desk is the absolute best and kindest person! I have a real phobia of dentists from bad experiences and a predisposition to metabolize novocaine quickly, but they are super patient with me here and always take care to make sure I’m comfortable. The massage chairs and essential oil therapy is definitely an added perk to the kindness of the staff.

It was high time I had a dental exam. Growing up in a household where dental hygiene was of the upmost importance, I was embarrassed to say it had been 2 years since my last exam (and by 2 years, I mean 3.5 years). I had received a coupon in the mail and I decided it was time. I called my mom to make the appointment and grabbed my best gal (she was also in dire need of an appointment, I think her last exam was 6 years ago. yikes). So we went on in…. and we loved it. The office was clean, modern and professional. Dr. Ankita Shah was very knowledgable and made us feel at ease. She felt more like a friend but the kind of friend that you trust to poke around in your mouth. We also enjoyed the televisions even though my pal put on some distasteful programs. Im happy to report my check up went great and we will both be going back. Also, Linda on the below review is right, the massage chairs totally rule.

I’m shocked to say I don’t mind going to the dentist. I used zocdoc to find this location and it had great reviews. I was still hesitant because I’ve never had a great experience at the dentist (who has, right?). However, after my first visit and some great result/recommendations I actually looked forward to my next appointment. I’ve always been self conscious about my teeth but I’m beginning to change my mind. The best part of the experience was how friendly everyone working there is. Although, the massaging chairs and TV (with full reign of Netflix) was also a bonus.

Dr. Shah and her staff are courteous and welcoming. Dr. offers the latest in information on dental care to help me maintain my health. Dr. is always willing to take the time to talk about my individual case and what is best for me, and to answer my questions.

Warm inviting office, a breeze to get to from my job in the loop. I’m never kept waiting too long in reception and the dentist chairs are clean and comfortable. Dr.Shah is friendly and ensures you are comfortable from the start to the end of your appointment. It’ll be a sad day if I ever move and have to find a new dentist!
