Smile312, a dental clinic serving Chicago's Loop since 1986, continues to elevate dental care standards through a unique combination of advanced technology, personalized treatment approaches, and a comprehensive view of oral health's connection to overall wellness. The clinic's model demonstrates how consistent practitioner relationships and modern diagnostic tools can transform the patient experience while addressing complex dental needs. The practice offers an extensive range of services including preventive dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, dental implants, dentures, veneers, teeth whitening, orthodontics, Invisalign clear aligners, restorative dentistry, and emergency dental care.
Specialized treatments such as TMJ therapy and solutions for missing teeth further illustrate the clinic's commitment to addressing diverse patient requirements through a holistic approach to oral health. A distinguishing feature of Smile312's practice is the continuity of care provided by Dr. Harvey J. Mahler, who personally treats every patient at each visit. With over 40 years of experience in general dentistry and TMJ/TMD care, Dr. Mahler's consistent presence allows for deeper understanding of individual dental histories and needs. His background includes graduation from Georgetown University School of Dentistry and more than four decades of membership in the American Dental Association.
The clinic employs a fully digital workflow that incorporates panoramic X-rays and intraoral cameras to enhance diagnostic accuracy and treatment planning. This technological approach not only supports improved clinical outcomes but also helps patients better understand their oral health conditions through visual documentation. New patients experience a streamlined process with electronic forms and comprehensive initial visits that include digital imaging along with screenings for TMJ disorders and oral cancer, reflecting the practice's preventive focus.
Accessibility considerations include acceptance of major insurance providers such as Delta Dental, Cigna, and BlueCross BlueShield, with flexible financing available through CareCredit. For cosmetic treatments, the clinic offers professional whitening solutions including custom trays and Pola kits for safe at-home use. This combination of technological innovation, insurance accessibility, and personalized attention from an experienced practitioner creates a dental care model that prioritizes both immediate treatment needs and long-term oral health maintenance.
