Smile First Dental Wellness

Had a wonderful experience with Dr Christian this morning, he was so kind to me helping me with an unusual problem: I already got the all-on-four implants done in Mexico years ago because i have juvenile periodontitis, some of the screws popped off right before a bunch of my important work meetings and i couldn't talk, eat or clean properly bc of those wobbly teeth 😱😱😱😱 Dr Christian was able to schedule with me with only 2 days notice , and fixed everything although i know it could be confusing as the work was done by another doctor using different screws, wrenches. Dr Christian is extremely professional and a wonderful kind person. I'm so happy, thank you so much! All the staff are the sweetest too and the office is really nice, put me at ease right away

I honestly can’t say enough good things about Smile First Dental. From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed like family. Dr. Pavel, Dr. Christian, and Dr. Danielle are all amazing, so friendly, easygoing, and genuinely kind. They make you feel comfortable right away, which is huge for me when it comes to going to the dentist. They’re also incredibly convenient to work with since they communicate through text. Scheduling, reminders, or asking quick questions is super easy and takes all the hassle out of it. On top of how welcoming they are, they’re truly incredible at what they do. They take the time to explain everything, never make you feel rushed, and you can tell they really care about their patients and their work. If you’re looking for a dental office that feels warm, personal,

We were searching for a new dentist closer to home for our son, and Smile First truly exceeded our expectations. From the warm welcome at the front desk to the gentle and thorough care from the dental hygienist, every step of the visit was exceptional. Dr. Christian Pavel was incredibly kind, patient, and informative—he took time to answer all our questions and made sure our son felt comfortable and confident. We left feeling genuinely cared for and so grateful to have found a dental office we trust. Highly recommend Smile First to any family looking for outstanding service and compassionate care!

I loved my previous dentist but was unable to continue traveling out to the northwest suburbs for care. Smile First Dental Wellness made my transition to a new practice seamless. Every part of the staff was welcoming, informative, efficient, and kind. The holistic aspect of the practice, treating the mouth and teeth in conjunction with the entire body and nervous system, really resonated with me and made even more sense as Dr. Pavel explained his philosophy. That being said, it was not a sales pitch to entice me to spend more money or do unnecessary gimmicky tests or evaluations. It was simply a perspective in which care and treatment is spoken from. I felt very calm, informed, and cared about throughout my entire visit. I highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for true care.

Went with Dr Cristian to have my wisdom tooth extraction today, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The doctor was incredibly kind, patient, and very clear when explaining the entire procedure. He made sure I understood every step and constantly checked on my comfort, which helped me feel calm and safe. His assistant Manuel was also amazing, gentle, attentive, and supportive the whole time. I truly felt cared for, not rushed, and they treated me with so much respect and professionalism. Thank you both for making a stressful moment so much easier. I definitely recommend this office to anyone who needs dental work done with compassion and skill.
