Dr. Steve was wonderful! I went to him after having a bad experience at a dental practice in the city. He was so kind, patient, and walked me through everything he did while filling my cavity (I'm a difficult/nervous patient). I felt very relaxed with him, and I would recommend him to anyone who is a bit nervous in the dental chair. He also very clearly showed me where my cavities were. I appreciated his conservatism, assuring me that we could "watch" a couple teeth rather than fill them.

I see Dr. Kenneth Milin as my general dentist. Dr. Milin has been able to help me with cleanings, crown replacement, fillings and night guard. Dr. Milin does everything from general dentistry to restorative work. He does all of the work himself. He is an artist with dental work; he can get everything to fit just right. Dr. Milin is the best dentist I have ever been to see. He has the smoothest touch. Dr. Milin is the most painless dentist that I have seen in the past fifty years. The hygienists in the office do the best teeth cleanings that I have ever had.

Dr. Steve and Karin are a wonderful team. My five year old needed his first (and hopefully last!) filling and both of us were rather apprehensive about the procedure. I needn’t have worried – the forethought Dr. Steve and Karin put into the appointment and their calm, caring attitudes put us both at ease and ensured a quick and pain-free appointment. I thoroughly recommend them both and feel grateful that we’ve found our new local family dentist.

Dr. Milin was recommended to us by a colleague at work. My husband and I have been exceptionally pleased with Dr. Milin's expertise, care and demeanor. He has a way of making his patients feel comfortable, and he always strives for perfection. Diana is a terrific hygienist and is very personable. The entire staff at the office is both professional and pleasant. I refer them to my clients and friends! Try them! You won't be disappointed!

I can’t say enough about how happy I am with my teeth. For years my grinding had worn my teeth down to the point where I would never smile with my mouth open, only a closed lip smile. I had smile envy with all my friends and family! It was actually a real bummer. But the work Dr. Steve did on my teeth has changed all that. Now I can’t stop smiling, which I think has actually made me a happier person! Thanks again to Smilin Dental, you’ve given me back my teeth and my smile!

My 8 year old son recently had his 2 front teeth knocked half off in a sledding accident. They were his adult teeth, not baby. A part of the tooth was found in the snow. Dr. Milin took that bit of tooth, reattached it and bonded the rest of the tooth and the one next to it. He used a recent photo to recreate the teeth to look just like they were. The results were amazing. Dr. Milin is an artist.

I began seeing Doctor Milin after many poor experiences with other dentistry groups in Chicago and the Northern Suburbs. He has changed my opinion of going to the dentist, and I have been incredibly happy with the work he has done, the referrals he has made and his compassion towards me and my teeth! Additionally, I was recently seen by Doctor Bacalar and his hygienist Karin. They share the same high standards of quality work and patient care as Doctor Milin and the rest of his team. As a patient with many pre-existing dental issues, and a great deal of anxiety towards the dentist's chair, it's great to know I can see either doctor and get the same caliber of treatment.

I am so happy I found Dr. Milin. As he says, "If it's not perfect, it's not right." He is so patient, communicative, and caring. His associates are wonderful, as well. Barb cleans my teeth, and Ewa is a terrific dental assistant. They are fantastic at having a fun conversation with you, keeping you calm, and making you feel like you are in great hands. You know they actually care about you, as I always get a call the day after I have a procedure, asking how I'm feeling Can't say enough positive things about this practice.

Dr. Steven Bacalar did a great job fixing some chips that I had in my tooth. I am leaving feeling confident about my smile, that's for sure! He made sure I felt comfortable and has a smooth, calm and comforting energy. Thanks Dr. Bacalar for being excellent. I started going to Dr. Milin years ago, when he advertised that his practice "catered to cowards"! Dr. Milin is one of the kindest, thoughtful and most knowledgeable dentists I have ever been to! His staff (like my hygienist, Diana Special), are equally caring and attentive. I highly recommend this practice for anyone in need of great dental care!

I cannot come up with one negative thing to say about this dentist and his staff....not one. The entire staff is as gentle, yet professional, as one could want. The new offices are top of the line with thoughtful touches, including screen adages and photos to keep your mind occupied when it needs to be. If ratings could be 7 stars this would be it.

I LOVE Dr. Milin. My family has gone to see him for years and he always does a great job. Late last year, he did porcelains on my two front teeth (a challenge since one tooth was broken as a child and we were trying to preserve its root). He did a fabulous job and my new smile is amazing! Just look at my picture! His whole team is professional, prompt and caring. I live in the city and happily drive to Winnetka to see him because you don't want to trust your teeth with just anybody!
