Dental implants are artificial root replacements providing a foundation for a variety of different types of solidly functioning replacement "teeth". They are the most permanent and trouble free solution for replacing missing or diseased teeth. Most of our patients forget that they have dental implants because these teeth replacements feel and function almost identically the same as natural teeth.

Dr. Dave and the whole staff are wonderful. I feel 100% confident that any visit I will receive the best care and up to date dentistry.
They go above and beyond making sure the staff and patients are kept healthy and safe.
State of the art cleaning and sanitizing of each and every room in between patients.
They really care. And as I’ve said, Dr. Dave is a wonderful dentist. I know as I used to work in a dental office. So I recognize the quality.
I’m blessed to have found them for all my dental needs

Love this office. They are always available to care for our family and at moments notice. My boys are comfortable and love seeing Dr. McWhinnie.
We feel very lucky to have such a wonderful dentist! Every time we have work done, there is always a text or call to check in and see how we are doing. AMAZING!

Dr. Dave is fantastic! I loved that I could request an appointment online and got a very prompt response from Karen, who is pleasant and wonderful. I came in right before vacation in pain and Dr. Dave reassured me by talking about everything he was looking for and at. He has a great laser tester for cavities and was very personable, asking me questions about my job since I work in the area. He sealed my problem tooth and got me on my way quickly. This was one of the best dental experiences as an adult. I highly recommend this place to anyone who hasn't been in awhile and might be nervous.

Our family won't go anywhere else. The dental care is excellent. The staff is knowledgeable, accommodating and thoughtful. I appreciate that both my daughter and I are able to schedule cleanings at the same time. Whenever I have had an emergency I receive a call back quickly, and have been able to get in the same day. Plus there is never a wait.

Best dentist (and team) around.... I have extremely sensitive teeth and get very anxious about dentist appointments.... I'm telling you, these guys are THE BEST. They are honest and caring. When they say they will do their best to be gentle and try to make it not hurt... they aren't lying... they really do try to make it as comfortable as possible. They are the ONLY people I want touching my teeth, I wanted to cry when Dr. Dave said he couldn't pull my wisdom teeth!
Dr McWhinnie is so gentle and I can trust him to make all the right decisions for my smile! He is so personable

I have Aetna DMO (which is a HORRIBLE plan because it seems that only really sketchy dentists accept that type of insurance around Chicago) and had a horrible(!) experience at another dentist in Skokie. After that, I got a recommendation from a friend (whose father and father-in-law were both dentists) to check out Dr. Dave McWhinnie at Smiles of Skokie. I am so glad that I went here.
The office staff and hygienists were all super friendly. After visiting way too many sketchy dentist offices in strip malls around Chicago, their office and facilities were a breath of fresh air. New equipment, bright

We call him "Dr. Happy Hands" because of his habit of giving the thumbs up. He is a super nice guy, he tells you what he is going to do every step of the way. In fact, he kind of talks more than normal explaining, and then explaining again. He doesn't do "extra" procedures just to rack up the charges but he does talk to you about your options. I appreciated that. I did go in for a filling in my back tooth once and had a bad experience with the novacain where I couldnt open my jaw completely for 6 weeks. But all my research shows that is a really UBER rare occurrence
