Lake Forest Smiles - General dentist in Lake Forest, IL

We provide a wide range of treatment options for our Lake Forest area patients, and all of our care focuses on their whole body health and wellness, especially the way the smile, airway, and other oral and facial structures work together to support overall health. Every personalized treatment plan at our office takes the interworking of teeth, throat, airway, and other structures into consideration. Our dentists and team have the training and experience necessary to offer advanced care at every level.

No treatment plan is considered complete until we have worked with patients to determine the best possible solution to repair damaged teeth, relieve pain, and renew oral and overall health while maintaining the flawless appearance of their smiles. At every stage of dental development, we provide the state-of-the-art care patients need to restore their smile to its full form, function, and flawless appearance, including preventive checkups, one visit dental crowns, and orthodontics.

The airway and orofacial muscles effect the way the jaw moves, the bite fits together, and how patients perform regular daily functions like sleeping, breathing, eating, and speaking. When orofacial structures work together properly, patients are able to comfortably go through their daily routines, but even the slightest change in these structures can dramatically effect patients daily lives. Thats why we examine and treat patients with a focus on the interworking of these structures.

We make use of the most advanced dentistry techniques and technologies to ensure patients are completely comfortable and receive fast, effective, minimally invasive treatment options. You may never notice our wide range of dental technologies, but youll recognize the reduced treatment time and painless care. We use digital x-rays for the highest definition diagnostic images, and we are proud to offer same day dental restorations using E4D computer assisted design and manufacture.

We love having the opportunity to take our passion for people outside of the office and into Lake Forest and surrounding communities. We volunteer with, sponsor, and participate in community events and charitable organizations whenever possible. Weve worked with the Chicago Bears bears care foundation to support breast cancer research and awareness and provide dental care to children in at-risk populations. Additionally, we participate in the red nose challenge each year, the annual stroke and juvenile diabetes walks, and more.

My whole family has been going to Lake Forest smiles for last 11years and the entire office is very professional and attentive to any dental issues we had in the past; they go above and beyond to make you comfortable during procedures and seek the best long term solution for either dental or orthodontic problems.

Big fans of the Lake Forest Smiles team! Dr. Schmidt has been our primary family dentist for many years taking care of kids to adults. This week, he quickly repaired chipped teeth brilliantly that they look better than before. The dental assistants and front office staff are polite, efficient and thoughtful. They pay particular attention to my communication needs as a deaf person. Thanks, Lake Forest Smiles.

The service I received from Dr. Schmidt and his assistant was above and beyond my expectation. Thank you for accommodating my veneer mishap. I must say, losing a veneer is not something I had planned and I can't thank you enough for squeezing me in and confidently re cementing my veneer back in place. This was definitely worth the drive from Lake Delavan, Wisconsin to a competent dentist office. Thanks again.

Dr. Schmidt has given me my life back. I am 19 years old and have TMJ issues where my jaw used to click and lock. I could barely open my mouth and if I could I was terrified. I had seen two doctors before Dr. Schmidt who were not up to date on the newest and best things. So going to Dr. Schmidt I was nervous but at the initial consultation he assured me that he can help me and he did just that. Him and Aida explain everything so thoroughly and encourage me when I am nervous. Dr. Schmidt made me feel heard and has truly been amazing. I am now not clicking and not locking and I feel comfortable eating and opening my mouth like a teenager should. All of his assistants are amazing too especially Rachel she is so empathetic with me because she knows how it feels to go through this. I trust Dr. Schmidt and his team so much. I could not recommend Dr. Schmidt and Lake Forest Smiles enough. I am so thankful I found him!
