Shay’s Story
“I want to sincerely thank you for the wonderful care you’ve given me during my time as your patient. Your skill, patience and kindness always made my dental visits a great experience. I’m very grateful and will miss being part of your practice. Wishing you and your team continued success.”
“I have lived in Chicago for the past decade and I have been to three different dentists. After visiting Modern Smiles and Dr. Shah, I can’t imagine seeing anyone else! For the first time, I feel like I’ve found a dentist who is hospitable, understanding, and makes me feel good after I walk out of the office. The whole office is so nice – I really cannot recommend it any higher!”

“I recently had the pleasure of visiting Modern Smiles Dental, and I can’t speak highly enough of my experience. From the moment I walked through the doors, I was greeted with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that immediately put me at ease. The modern, clean, and stylish decor created a comfortable environment that made the entire experience pleasant. The staff at Modern Smiles Dental is nothing short of exceptional. Every team member, from the front desk to the dental assistants and hygienists, exhibited professionalism, kindness, and a genuine interest in my well-being. They took the time to listen to my concerns and answered all my questions thoroughly, ensuring I felt informed and comfortable every step of the way. Dr. Shah is a true expert in the field. Their skill, knowledge, and gentle approach to dental care are unparalleled. During my visit, Dr. Shah conducted a comprehensive examination, explained my treatment options in detail, and provided personalized recommendations tailored to my specific needs. One of the standout aspects of Modern Smiles Dental is their use of state-of-the-art technology and modern techniques. I also appreciate the emphasis on patient education at Modern Smiles Dental. The team made sure I understood how to maintain my oral health between visits and provided practical tips and advice for a healthy smile. Their proactive approach to preventive care has made a significant difference in my dental hygiene routine. I highly recommend Modern Smiles Dental to anyone in need of dental services – you won’t be disappointed!”
“This is by far the best dental practice that I have been to in Chicago. The team is very professional, friendly, and efficient. I always feel very comfortable and cared for when I visit Modern Smiles. Over the years that I have been going to this practice, I have not had a single complaint and every time any procedure is performed, the team always makes sure that I am comfortable, in a good mood, and informed on what they are doing. If you are researching offices and deciding which one to go for, congratulations, I think your search is done and you have found the one. Trust me, you will not be disappointed.”
“VERY Satisfied Patient! I think most of us have had unpleasant experiences with going to the dentist. No longer for me. I have been a patient of Dr. Iqbal’s for a while and am very happy with the service I receive from her and her staff. I have had a few procedures done and every single time they are detailed on their explanation of what to expect and what the end results should be. They are unfailingly friendly, courteous and patient. I’ve never had a single negative experience. I hope you give Modern Smiles a try – they will definitely change your mind on how you think of going to the dentist. Thank you again to Dr. Iqbal and staff, you’re all amazing!!”
“Great experience! Brand new practice with a very professional and friendly doctor and staff! I’ll be back!”
“Dr. Shah and her team are fantastic! They continued to provide superior service to me on a cosmetic procedure until the results were perfect. Her staff is always friendly and professional. I never have to dread going to the dentist anymore.”
“As a first-time patient with a fair amount of apprehension, Modern Smiles provided an exceptionally positive experience. The entire team worked together seamlessly to ensure I was supported every step of the way. Ady provided excellent service with pre-authorizing and insurance; Karla was exceptional in answering questions, building trust, and preparing me for treatment. Dr. Rita was reassuring, knowledgeable and I felt secure. She related well to my concerns and showed confidence in her efficient and thorough approach. I was in and out in no time! Modern Smiles has gained my trust and loyalty. I actually look forward to my next visit with this remarkable team. Kudos to all!”
“Dr. Sidra Iqbal and her entire team are fantastic! Very detailed, very kind, and my appointments were right on time. I did cleaning, bleaching and a new crown for my front teeth. I am happier than ever with the results. No pain at all. She explains every step to you. She is extremely knowledgeable and Kind, which is crucial! Thanks Modern Smiles team!!”
“Excellent staff, excellent treatment. Dr. Shah is phenomenal. Office is immaculate. Massaging dental chairs are a big plus. Excellent Covid practices.”
“Everyone is super friendly and professional. Having not been to the dentist in DECADES this location has been a great reintroduction into dental healthcare.”
“Dr. Shah is a wonderful dentist and made my procedure at the dentist go by painless and quick. I think we all have some small fear of any type of surgery but tooth pain is the WORSE, but they really take good care of you at Modern Smiles and help ease your nerves (no pun intended haha) Very resourceful, beautiful office and very kind dental assistants and front desk receptionist. Highly recommend going here, if you want a dentist that is gentle, makes you feel appreciated and cared for!”
“Modern Smiles is amazing. It’s a beautiful and clean office. The dental chairs even give a gentle massage!! The staff, from the front desk, assistant, and dentist were all amazing. My treatment plan was thoroughly explained and all my questions answered. I will be back in six months for another cleaning!”
“I tried out Modern Smiles because I live in the neighborhood, and I’m so glad I did. Dr. Shah and her assistant Carla were both excellent, explaining things very well. I went for a cleaning and a filling and both were able to be scheduled quickly and everything was on time. The office is beautiful and everything is paperless – online consent form, emailed receipts, etc. They’re taking great precautions around COVID, with masks required (except during cleaning/procedure of course), no visitors/guests, and extra disinfection and special equipment to reduce aerosolization. I felt very safe receiving dental care at their office.”
“Great office! Passed by this place and decided to get a dental exam and cleaning since I hadn’t been for years. The office is very up to date with amenities and cleaning, they’re handling COVID pretty well from what I’ve seen, and the staff is incredibly friendly and professional. I look forward to this being my new dental home for the foreseeable future.”
“I had a great introduction from the dentist’s office. The staff was friendly, the office was clean and modern, and it was paperless. I loved Dr. Shah. She was transparent and let me know everything I needed to know about my teeth. She seems very knowledgeable and helpful. I asked about the possibility of straightening my teeth and felt no pressure to do it. Dr. Shah is the first dentist to actually clean my teeth, rather than the dental assistant. Overall, I had a great experience.”
“Was looking for a new dentist and was pleasantly surprised with this beautiful new office, with all the latest dental technology allowing for a super-efficient appointment (and a massage chair you lay in while they work on your teeth!)… super kind staff including Dr. Siddra Iqbal who did a fantastic job on my teeth and made me feel super welcomed and comfortable in her dentistry. I will be going back soon for a new night guard and they don’t even need to take a mold of your teeth with their new imaging technology! Highly recommended if you are looking for a dentist! Thank you Modern Smiles!”
“I’m not gonna lie, I was a bit scared going in. It was my first time going to any kind of visit after COVID madness and I was a bit anxious. However, I was put at ease right away. The staff is so professional, and it is clear they go to great lengths to ensure the safety of their patients and their staff. Especially during these crazy times. Everyone was extremely friendly and thorough…you get the feeling they are a real team, work so well together to the benefit of their patients. I felt so relaxed being there! I’m so glad I decided to give this place a try, definitely worth it and absolutely coming back!”
“Dr. Iqbal has been my dentist since I arrived in Chicago. From annual cleanings to my root canal, she has always offered an excellent service, while making me feel very comfortable. I highly recommend her!”
“I have a terrible fear of dental work but was blessed to find Dr. Shah and her amazing staff. I had put off going to the dentist until it was a necessity. Dr. Shah and her assistant, Karla, handled me with great care, tenderness, and kindness. I give the whole staff my highest recommendation.”
“Dr. Shah is an exceptional dentist. I have always been fearful of going to the dentist she and her staff make me feel so comfortable and relaxed. Would recommend her and her new practice!!”

“Dr. Iqbal is truly amazing!! Hands down the best dentist I’ve ever had and trust me when I say I’ve seen too many of them—as a reference I have had work done in more than 50% of my teeth:( In a few words, Dr. Iqbal is a caring, trustworthy, extremely knowledgeable and experienced dentist for 3 main reasons. 1-She explains every step in detail before performing it—a heads-up is helpful when you are doing multiple root canals. 2-She makes herself available for after-hours check-ins for complicated procedures. 3-Her priority is the patient’s health so she will work with you to tailor your treatment plan to you instead of imposing it on you. I absolutely recommend her and can confidently say you won’t be disappointed!”
“After having a terrible experience with my first two wisdom teeth extractions, I was recommended Dr. Iqbal by a colleague for the remaining two. She was fantastic and made the entire operation, as well as the post-surgical recovery process, very easy to handle. As anyone who’s had this procedure done would tell, it isn’t fun, but Dr. Iqbal couldn’t have made it smoother.”
“Dr. Rita Shah is an exceptional dentist. Living in a city with an abundance of options, this one is simple. It’s comforting to know that I have a dentist who is professional, caring and honest. You will not leave disappointed.”
“I’ve been seeing Dr. Shah for a decade, and she is an excellent dentist! She is thorough in her work and takes the time to talk to patients about their individual needs.”
“My entire life I have always had anxiety about going to the dentist. Dr. Shah put me right at ease though. I will be returning.”
“Dr Shah is an exceptional dentist! She is meticulous and very thorough. Her staff and team are friendly. She does quality work and really cares about her patients!”
“My service with Dr. Iqbal was OUTSTANDING. My smile is amazing and I didn’t think Invisalign was a good option but Dr. Iqbal assured me that I was a great candidate and the results from this are just truly amazing. Dr. Iqbal is a GODDESS and I recommend everyone to visit her office for amazing customer service and excellent top-of-the-line treatment. This office and the doctors here are sent from Heaven. You will definitely be satisfied.”
