Family & cosmetic dentistry, Since 2007: Bringing smiles inside… out.

Since 2007, we've cared for our neighbors in Lakeview, Edgewater, and Bucktown at every stage of life. We care for your teeth and for the person behind the smile.

Inside… out

Every smile has a story behind it. We listen, answer honestly, and treat you gently, so you feel welcomed, heard, and valued. The confidence finds its own way out.

Why us

Why Lakeview Smiles

The Lakeview Smiles difference.

We care for teeth, and we care just as much for the person behind the smile. Our goal is for every patient to leave feeling better than when they walked in.

Meet Dr. Grace Lee

Care that starts with listening.

Dr. Lee earned her DDS at The Ohio State University after degrees in human nutrition and chemistry, and keeps training in implantology and aesthetic smile design. She has volunteered in Mongolia, Nicaragua and at Chicago's Lawndale Dental Clinic, and her favorite moment is hearing a once-anxious patient say they're finally pain-free. She opened Lakeview Smiles in 2007 to serve this community, and she loves hearing the stories patients bring back: the new job, the first date, the wedding, and the dinners out with friends.

Lakeview Smiles is AMAZING! 😁 From the moment I walked into the clinic, I was impressed. Everything was spotless, beautiful, and welcoming. I was greeted with a smile by Ms. Lola, and my dental hygienist, Ms. Cynthia, was absolutely wonderful! She walked me through everything about my teeth from beginning to end, explained things thoroughly, and made sure I understood what was going on. We even had a great chat! I also told the ladies that I'm an Instagram person and that I actually found them through an Instagram Reel. Let's just say the famous Dr. Lee convinced me to come in without even knowing she was doing it and without verbally telling me to come see her! 😂 I'm so glad I finally got to meet her. She was just as wonderful as I expected! The entire team at Lakeview Smiles is amazing. Everyone is cheerful, welcoming, professional, and clearly very knowledgeable. I absolutely love the energy there! I already have another appointment scheduled, and I'm confident I'll have the same wonderful experience. It's a win-win for me! If you're looking for a dental team you can trust with your teeth, Lakeview Smiles is the place to go. You won't be disappointed! See you all soon! ❤️🦷
