What Our Patients Say About Us
Friendly staff, very helpful.
I have been to dozens of dental offices across the country and “Smiles by Design” is simply the best! With a friendly knowledgeable staff and state of the art instruments all in a comfortable atmosphere, I won’t be going anywhere else! But the best part is that Dr. Lina provides a PAIN-FREE experience regardless of what you are having done! (I got 5 fillings yesterday and have been able to function totally normally and without any tenderness post op!)

Chicago, ILAwesome!
I recently moved here and woke up yesterday morning with a dental emergency. They were able to fit me in and fix my teeth and gums that same morning. They talked me through everything they were doing as they were doing it. They also walked me through the cost and how much my insurance would cover before they did anything. Everyone was so friendly and made me feel comfortable. I found my new dentist!

Client - Chicago, ILKeep up the great work!
I have been going to Dr. Jonynas and Dr. Perlin for over twenty years and we have been through so much together. After my first large surgery, Dr. Jonynas called me at home to make sure I was okay. Both of them are very caring individuals. And the staff, what a bunch of lovely people. I have had Lori and Irma as my dental hygienists, and they are personable and professional. Even the reception staff is great – Tami and the other ladies. It is a pleasant place to get your teeth examined. Free toothbrushes. Ha ha, I know that’s not unique, but each individual there has been wonderful to me in all these years.

Client - Chicago, ILProfessional and friendly!
I highly recommend Smiles By Design. They are all so friendly, and I truly trust Dr. Jonynas and the rest of their staff with my dental work. I once needed an emergency root canal & they were able to get me in for an urgent appointment in the morning since I was in so much pain. They are a wonderful dental office & do great work.

Which Came First…The Brush or the Floss?
Every day, in every dental office across America, the question, “Should I brush or floss first?” is asked of a dental professional. The fact that the question is asked means the patient understands the importance of doing both on a regular basis, so, for the dentist, this is already a win for the patient’s oral health. The truth is, as long as the patient is doing both, there is no wrong answer to this particular question.

Tooth Pain: Why It Hurts and What To Do
Over the course of recorded history, tooth loss was an accepted part of the human condition. It was normal for a person to lose some, if not most, of their teeth in a lifetime. This was simply one of the facts of living in those eras, and nothing was done to alleviate this condition until the advent of modern dentistry.
