Give Me A Smile Dental

Dr Zurich and his staff are a pleasure to be around. I was easily able to call them for an initial appointment and once I got there I filled out some necessary paperwork and my daughter and I had our exam, xrays and checkup and cleaning all within about an hour for both of us. I was very surprised when he himself did the cleanings instead of one of his staff. He also saw I needed a little more cleaning and suggested I come back for a deep cleaning. I’ve had deep cleanings before but when I came back he was very thorough in the deep cleaning. He numbed my gums and went at it. Some pain but a lot of gain… my teeth felt awesome after. Although I felt like Mike Tyson hit me but that’s ok since it really was a thorough cleaning. He takes his time and explains everything and best part is he’s not pushy on things that you maybe can get but don’t need. I know my daughter kinda needs braces but the misalignment is very slight and I think my daughter’s teeth look perfect (ok not totally but I’m her dad so I’m allowed to have a bias). Anyways he didn’t push the issue and he also didn’t push the issue on getting new fillings for my teeth that look nicer than the metallic ones I have now. My insurance paid for the whole visits and his staff took care of everything. Definitely glad I found him and I can finally have a regular dentist who I really like.

Dr. Zurich and the entire staff at Give Me A Smile are great. I received a root canal for the 1^st time and after hearing horror stories, almost didn’t get out the car. After talking myself into it, I got out and we got started. I HONESTLY didn’t feel a thing. Dr. Zurich was amazing at letting me know step-​by-​step what he was doing. The dental assistants were great at checking on me as well. I have had nothing but great experiences here. I have found my dentist.

My favorite Dentist in the suburbs. I have been taking my kids for last couple of years. He is so personable, patient and explains everything. It sure helps having a friendly dentist. Front desk also is fairly competent. Highly recommend.

Dr. Zurich is an outstanding dentist. When he’s treating you, he is focused on you completely. He knows what he’s doing. He explains everything clearly. He is highly personable. He listens to your concerns. He excels at everything. *Highly recommend*

I’m going to be the lone dissenter amidst the otherwise positive reviews. I came to Dr. Zurich for a few cleanings and other miscellaneous treatments, and I always left feeling awful and guilty. I know my flossing habits aren’t so stellar, and my permanent retainer leaves my bottom teeth almost perpetually crusted in plaque, but Dr. Zurich would always tell me that my hygiene was awful, my teeth looked so yellow that I must smoke and just not tell him about it, ignoring the fact that I told him my braces have left my teeth somewhat less white than normal, and they’ve never gone back the way they were. He would constantly refer me to his expensive whitening treatment. After my cleanings, he would ask me to smile big in his mirror and show me all of the flaws in my teeth that he could fix up. (No thanks, besides, I already have low enough esteem of my mouth given that my jaw is congenitally crooked.)
I also disliked that he would clean my teeth with a Cavitron. I hate those things. They make me uncomfortable because I get covered in water, and when my upper teeth get cleaned the water shoots into my nose making it difficult to breathe, which makes me horribly anxious.
The *only* thing I liked about Dr. Zurich is that he took me seriously when I said that I usually pass out when receiving lidocane shots. However, I didn’t like the fact that I requested to have procedures done WITHOUT the lidocane in the first place, and he insisted that I get it done. Trust your patients, especially when they tell you that they hate shots and have a high pain tolerance.
I hated coming here SO MUCH that I didn’t get a cleaning for well over a year, figuring that all dentists were the same… Going to give me a hard time about my dental hygiene and pointing out all of the flaws in my mouth. Fortunately I’ve found a better dentist that I will be going to in the future.

I really like Dr. Zurich and his office assistants. He is very friendly, always makes sure I don’t feel any pain and he’s very professional. Pretty decent office hours too.

Sam Zurich is smoking hot! I used to hope for a toothache so I could come here. Tall Dark Handsome, beautiful teeth, intelligent, extremely personable — what else is there? He also has cool dentist friends. He once referred me to a swanky Naperville specialist, who was also sorta cute. I like the way they roll.
Yes, we all know that Sam is also a good dentist and a one man show. He does your cleanings NOT a hygienist, which I LOVE, and he is THOROUGH. His cleanings hurt like Hell, but they are the best. His office is sterile and clean and his coat is white and pressed :). He also gave me fluoride for free once. I just moved and I am dreading finding a new dentist.
I also like that Sam isn’t a used car salesman dentist. He doesn’t try and sale you a bunch of crap treatments you don’t need — only the essentials.
Sam Zurich is knowledgeable and explains everything, yet 2 questions come to mind. Is he single and does he date younger women?

Dr. Sam is GREAT! Very sincerely friendly and professional, both dentist assistant (also work as a receptionist too) and the dentist himself. Dr. Sam actually did the cleaning part on his own, unlike many dentist offices I’ve been to.
Overall is nice, I’ll definitely take my family back there.

Dr. Sam is a great guy and a great dentist. He will work with you on cost and always does a great job. He flirts with my wife, which I think is funny. He does the dental work for my whole family for over 6 years now. He is fair and a humorous guy who reminds me a bit of Dr. Doofenshmirtz on Phineas and Ferb. Good with kids over 6 and does good emergency work too. He fixed my wifes cracked tooth, said it would be good for a few months but it’s lasted a year longer than he anticipated.

Okay, this Dentist is the best I have ever been to. From the moment I met the Dentist, I had a great feeling about him. He was quick and knowledgable throughout the entire process. He explained the procedures as he was doing them. I wish I felt this good about every Dentist I went to.

I have had root canals before, but the one that Dr. Zurich did was the gentlest and easiest by far. I appreciated that he did it all in one longer visit rather than making me take time off from work on multiple visits because my time is valuable, too. His office staff is very friendly and helpful. I like that Dr. Zurich explains what is needed and estimates the cost of everything after insurance before he proceeds. I would recommend Dr. Zurich highly to anyone.

Dr. Sam has been my dentist since he started practicing in Chicago many moons ago. He is so good that I followed him and now drive 35 miles to his office. His office staff is not only friendly, but they always go above and beyond their regular «responsibilities». Give Me a Smile Dental is a first in class dental office because Dr. Sam is always going after more knowledge and new techniques. He is honest and does not beat around the bush. Bottom line, Dr. Sam is not just a dentist, rather, he is an artist that makes my smile the best it can be!

My husband was skeptical because of the location but after going won’t stop raving about the place. He said the doctor is the best he has ever been to. Everyone is nice, friendly, and knowledgeable of our insurance policy. He said cleanings and fillings are done well with minimal pain. We highly recommend!

Dr. Zurich is great! After avoiding the dentist for a very, very long time, I decided to get my teeth checked out. Dr. Zurich was super friendly and explained everything that he was doing. I had a few cavities and also had to get a root canal!!! When Dr. Zurich told me I had to get a root canal, I almost crapped in my pants. I have never had a root canal and was really scared after hearing about others’ experiences with root canals. But Dr. Zurich put me at ease and performed the root canal great with very minimal discomfort. I would recommended Give Me a Smile to anyone who wants a great dentist!

I went to Dr. Zurich after a less than stellar experience at another local dentist. Needless to say my cleaning was what it should have been, great. My teeth feel wonderful and look a 100 times better. He was very attentive and used several different steps to clean and polish my teeth. And, I’ve never had a dentist do the cleaning before. So far, I’m satisfied.

So I am ashamed to admit that I haven’t been to a dentist in close to 5 years. I chalk it up to going to grad school (no dental insurance), moving 6 times in the last 5 years, & the fact that MetLife doesn’t always send out insurance cards.
Anyhoo, I finally went in to get a cleaning & picked Dr. Zurich since he was part of MetLife’s preferred dentists & he went to my alma mater. Plus, who can resist the name «Give Me a Smile»?
It was super easy to get an appointment that worked with my schedule of being a SAHM & the receptionist/​dental assistants are nice & really friendly. I totally expected to be berated for not having regular check-​ups (or flossing), but Dr. Zurich was nice about it all. Cleaning wasn’t painful either.
I have cavities to be filled, so I’ll update about that experience later!
