What To Expect

Loyal patients have described Kimberly Smiles as a place of comfort where they feel safe and at home. You will be warmly welcomed and given a guided tour of our modern facility by one of our friendly team members. Dr. Paul Anast and his team will answer all your questions and concerns to ensure your visit is informative and exceeds your expectations. We are here to get to know you as an individual so we can personalize your treatment to meet your specific needs.

Dental Insurance

Kimberly Smiles accepts most PPO insurance plans. If you have dental insurance, our team will help you understand your insurance coverage before beginning treatment, and we’ll also file paperwork and claims on your behalf.

Most dental insurances often cover twice-yearly checkups. But if you are seeking additional treatment, our team will coordinate your benefits and help you understand what your treatment plan will cost.

If you have any questions, contact our dental office in Wicker Park today. Our financial coordinator will work with you to maximize your insurance coverage. If you don’t have dental insurance, our financial coordinator will assist you with options to make the treatment you need affordable.

Financing Options

We understand that paying for dental treatment can be difficult for those that do not have dental insurance. Kimberly Smiles partners with several third-party financing services, including CareCredit, SimplePay, and Prosper Healthcare Lending, to make your treatment costs more manageable.

Types of Dental Appointments

When you come to our office as a new patient, you will have a unique experience that is designed to meet your specific dental needs. Patients typically visit our office in one of the following ways:

  • For an emergency – you will be seen the same day to address your dental problem, usually about 30 minutes with Dr. Anast.
  • For an exam and cleaning – you will be seen first by Dr. Anast for an exam and needed images to diagnose your specific dental needs, usually about 45 minutes. Then you will have your teeth cleaned if there is no periodontal disease present.
  • For a comprehensive exam – you will meet with Dr. Anast to determine what your specific dental needs and goals are regarding your overall health. Then you will have an interactive, comprehensive exam where you and Dr. Anast will collaborate to address your needs and define your long-term goals. This interview and exam can take 60 to 90 minutes.

Friendly and kind service across the board. Very happy with my deep cleaning and felt like I was listened to instead of talked at.

Kimberly Smiles Dentistry was one of my best dentist visits in Chicago, IL. Front staff walks you through all payment information prior to going back so you know exactly what you will be charged. This was a big thing for me since i’m only a year post-grad and don’t have the ability to finance any hidden fees. Technician Hannah was such a sweet, personable dental assistant. Explaining all of the different treatments I was doing for my biannual teeth cleaning. I ask a million questions during these visits and she answered each one seamlessly. The Dentist of the practice is a more straight to the point type of doctor. I prefer this than someone sort of beating around the bush for treatment options to fix a small chip on my tooth. He is clear and direct in explaining his thoughts as well various treatments ranging from less expensive to most. I really appreciate this practice for their dedication to customer satisfaction. I will not be going anywhere else for my dental needs going forwards besides this practice. 10/10!!

The best dental care I have ever gotten. Dr Paul Anast is the best, his team is amazing. They genuinely care about you as a patient, not just fixing ur teeth and moving on to the next person. Everyone was communicative and kind and flexible with hours and booking appointments so that it didn’t impact my work at all. If you need a dentist, this is where you want to go.

I've been a patient since Dr. Anast opened the doors and am embarrassed I'm just now getting around to publicly reviewing. This is probably the best dental practice in all of Chicagoland. Is it weird that I actually look forward to getting cleanings? No. It's healthy and they're super friendly!
