Smart Mouth Dental P.C.

Smart Mouth Dental P.C. is a well-established dental clinic located at 7105 Janes Ave, Woodridge, IL 60517. The practice is led by Dr. Kathleen Barto, who has been in private practice since 2005 and has a strong commitment to staying current with the latest advancements in dentistry. She was also an adjunct faculty member at the Midwestern University College of Dental Medicine. The core philosophy of Smart Mouth Dental P.C. revolves around a patient-based approach, prioritizing education, prevention, and conservative treatment. Their mission statement emphasizes helping every patient "be smart about their mouth" by educating them about, preventing, and treating dental disease in a comfortable manner. They believe in evidence-based dentistry, ensuring that all treatments are supported by current research. The clinic offers a wide range of dental services for both adults and children, covering general dentistry, preventive care, and various restorative and cosmetic procedures. While specific services like dental implants, veneers, and in-office whitening (Cerec, Invisalign) are mentioned through staff specializations, the overall focus is on comprehensive family dentistry. The team at Smart Mouth Dental P.C. is dedicated to providing a supportive and comfortable experience. The staff, including Office Manager Desiree, Clinical Manager Kristen, and Registered Dental Hygienists Kim and Bethany, are highly experienced and committed to patient care. They aim to foster trusting relationships with patients, ensuring they feel heard, understood, and well-informed about their treatment options. Patient testimonials frequently highlight the friendly and compassionate nature of the staff, the comfortable environment (including a reported lack of typical "dentist office" smell), and their ability to ease dental anxieties. Many patients praise their thorough cleanings, gentle hands, and the comprehensive explanations provided regarding treatment plans and costs. The clinic also accommodates varying schedules and often assists patients with urgent care needs. Dr. Barto has a history of volunteer activities, including work with the Indian Health Service in Montana, the 1000 Smiles Program in Jamaica, and TeamSmile with the Chicago Bears, demonstrating a commitment to community dental health beyond her private practice. The clinic's hours of operation are Tuesday to Thursday (8:00 am-5:00 pm), Wednesday (9:00 am-6:00 pm), and Friday (8:00 am-1:00 pm), with weekends closed.
