University Associates in Dentistry is the best! From the moment you walk in and the staff that greets you, its hands down a wonderful experience. The hygienists are very knowledgeable and efficient. Not only is Dr. Zalay a fabulous dentist, but she is passionate about her work.

She is a terrific listener, has an amazing sense of humor and truly cares about her patients. Dr. Zalay is always there when I need her!

After many years of losing teeth, mouth pain and just so so dentistry, I finally found the right dentist for me, Dr. Sam Kang. I knew what I had to do with my mouth and went and saw Dr. Kang for a consultation. As much as I would have liked to not have bad teeth, the choice wasn’t mine anymore. After meeting with Dr. Kang, I felt the most comfortable I have felt in a long time being in the dentist chair. His knowledge of his profession is A+.

I had surgery to remove my remaining teeth and have 6 implants put in. I felt no pain, nor did I have swelling or bruising. Honestly I found it to be quite remarkable. He’s just the BEST! If anyone who reads this has failing teeth, you MUST come here. Dr Kang is the MAN one smile at a time❤️Thank you Dr. Kang for alleviating my fears and making me comfortable going to the dentist.

If you had seen my teeth before, you would have assumed I played the banjo on a porch somewhere. They were a mess—crooked, uneven, offensive to anyone with a functioning sense of aesthetics Enter Dr. Lauren Zalay—an artist, a dental savant who took my hillbilly disaster zone and turned it into a Hollywood-caliber set of pearly whites. I flew in from New York just for this because when it comes to your teeth, you don’t mess around—you go to the best. And Dr. Zalay? She’s the best. The Invisalign process was seamless.

No pain, no stress—just a slow, steady transformation from "before picture in a toothpaste ad" to "leading man with a jawline that could cut glass. Chicago’s a heck of a town, and University Associates in Dentistry fits right in—world-class care, right in the heart of it all. If you’re thinking teeth, don’t think. Just book an appointment with Dr. Zalay.

Dr. Lauren Zalay is truly the best! She guided me through my entire Invisalign process with such care and attention to detail. She made sure every tooth was exactly where it needed to be — down to the millimeter — and was incredibly patient with all of my (many) questions along the way.

I always felt supported and never rushed. Thanks to her, my smile has never looked better. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!
