About Chicago Loop Dentistry
Pressure-free treatment advice from Dr. Mehta and Loop-adjacent convenience make this dental office notable for anxious patients weighing unnecessary-procedure concerns elsewhere.
Chicago Loop Dentistry is a general dental practice that also offers orthodontic options including Invisalign, traditional braces, clear aligners, and TMJ treatment, though most reviews focus on general dental visits. Reviews note a therapy dog and headphones offered during procedures to ease anxiety, and several mention that Dr. Mehta and staff avoid pushing unnecessary treatment, with one reviewer contrasting this favorably against a costly recommendation elsewhere. Its downtown Loop location near the train and pedway comes up often as convenient for people working nearby. A couple of reviews describe a difficult experience involving a crown and unnecessary drilling that led to lasting pain.

Dr Mehta is very kind and explains everything thoroughly. The staff are all very friendly. I have a lot of anxiety at the dentist and they helped make me feel more comfortable.

Everyone working at this office were so kind and welcoming. They are all clear communicators, respectful, and professional. I came across them organically through google search and I couldn't be happier. It's a lovely atmosphere, conveniently off a nearby Loop train station. Their service dog in the office is super sweet too! If dental work particularly stresses you out it's a great assistance in regulating stress.

Dr. Mehta, Chante, and the entire team at Chicago Loop Dentistry were amazing! They were friendly, thorough, and very timely; they offered very clear information about the health of my teeth and gums, and provided options for future treatment. It was a very pleasant experience!
