Detailed Introduction

ORA Dental Studio is a pioneering dental clinic in Chicago, recognized for its innovative "green" approach to dentistry and commitment to redefining the patient experience. Founded in 2008 by Dr. Mladen Kralj and Dr. Goran Kralj, and later joined by Dr. Reggie Thurston, ORA has expanded to multiple locations across Chicago, including South Loop, West Loop, Gold Coast, River North, and Wicker Park. What truly sets ORA Dental Studio apart is its dedication to sustainability and eco-friendly practices. They were the first LEED-certified dental practice in Chicago, designing facilities from the ground up to be high-performance green environments. This includes using sustainable, eco-friendly materials, digital X-rays that reduce radiation by 90% and eliminate toxic processing chemicals, energy-efficient systems, and even powering some facilities entirely by sustainable wind energy, making them carbon negative. ORA is an official endorser of the Green Guide for Health Care (GGHC) and an Energy Star Partner with the U.S. EPA, actively contributing to reforestation campaigns and renewable energy sources. Beyond their environmental commitment, ORA Dental Studio focuses on creating a uniquely comfortable and luxurious patient experience. Their studios are designed to feel like a tranquil spa rather than a traditional dental office, featuring modern aesthetics, relaxing lounges, private treatment suites, and amenities like in-wall iPod docking stations, HD satellite TV, complimentary Wi-Fi, and an organic refreshment bar. Technologically, ORA Dental Studio is at the forefront of modern dentistry. They utilize cutting-edge tools such as digital scanners (iTero for 3D models), 3D printing for same-day appliances, dental lasers (including the revolutionary Solea laser for drill and shot-free procedures), and artificial intelligence for diagnostics and treatment planning. This advanced technology allows for earlier diagnosis, more efficient and comfortable appointments, minimally invasive treatments, and predictable, long-lasting results. ORA offers a comprehensive array of dental services, including preventive care (exams, cleanings, periodontal treatment), restorative dentistry (fillings, crowns, bridges, implants), cosmetic dentistry (teeth whitening, laser gum contouring, bonding, porcelain veneers, Invisalign), and in-house specialty services like periodontics, endodontics, and oral surgery. They emphasize a holistic approach, caring for the whole person in addition to their smile, and stand behind their work with a lifetime guarantee on many cosmetic restorations.

I booked an appointment online for my husband. We arrived early, paid for parking and attempted to go into the office. The door was locked and there were no lights on. No worries Maybe they are running late. Made several calls to the office.

Answering machine kept picking up. We waited 30 minutes and gave up. Either they need to change the hours on their website or they need to show up for work. So disappointed.

My first time here. The front desk was very kind and patient even though I was unorganized and didn't have my dental insurance on file. Didn't take long waiting like 10 min. The dental hygienist who serviced me was super thorough.

After she picked the plaque off, she checked with floss, then re picked if she still felt something. She did a perfect job even though I have braces which are much harder to clean. I will definitely continue to come here

TERRIBLE SERVICE,, I went in for my final visit for permanent crown. My initial visit I paid $631 and was told there was 0 balance, my provider would cover remaining balance “in which the receipt shows”. “Cause dentist seeing me was supposedly in network’I come in and to my surprise there was a balance for o $476 dollars and they told me I COULD NOT BE SEEN UNTIL THAT BALANCE IS PAID.

They told me that was the “remaining balance” my service provider didn’t pay. I proceed to contact my provider and I was told the young lady (Rhonda Habbal) was not in the network ( mind you she’s the only one whom did work besides the assistant yet on receipt it shows (Goran Kraij whom was in network) but did zero work) My provider informed me that the young lady Rhonda Habbal was not in network work nor did they have a tax ID for her but yet before any work was done they clearly told me everyone was in network at that location. I feel hussled I feel they knew this and just felt they would try to hussle me for more money on final visit.

BEWARE I REGRET EVER GOING HERE I WASTED MY TIME AND HARD EARNED MONEY WITH THESE PEOPLE…

I just had THE BEST experience with Dr Krajl (pronounced Crawl) and his staff (Danielle, Jasmine and some others whose names I didn’t catch yet at Ora on South Michigan. ) I’m a First time patient and they were so Very welcoming when I walked in.

There’s a very comfortable waiting room and Dr Krajl took the time to explain a handful of dental options and then helped me pick the best one for me. If you are looking for a dentist who cares about you and your dental health and is kind and funny and has an office that rocks customer service, give Ora Dental Studio a try! You will not be sorry!
