I am very thankful to have been recommended to this practice by my physician. Dr. Frericks is the dentist who sees me, and the dental hygienist is JoAnn, and they are both gems. It's nice to finally have a dental practice where they are truly professionals and know what they're doing. I highly recommend them.

I’ve been coming here for years. Dr. Frericks is more focused on quality dental care than trying to upsell you on unnecessary procedures or cosmetic add-ons. To be clear, if you want teeth whitening or other cosmetic work, they do it and they do it well I just appreciate their focus on what’s best for the customer.

I recently had a bit of an emergency with a cracked tooth and Dr Schwartz and Andrea Stepped in And I could tell I was in good hands. They are fantastic.

Came in for a teeth whitening and a couple veneers. The staff was super chill and made me feel right at home. The office is clean and modern, with a nice view of Michigan Ave. Only downside was the wait time was a bit longer than I expected, but the results were worth it. My smile's looking fresh, and I’m feeling more confident. Definitely coming back for my next touch-up.

I had an amazing experience at the Magnificent Smile during my recent trip with unexpected dental incident! From the moment I walked in, the staff was incredibly welcoming, especially Jaime, and professional. Dr. Frericks was not only highly skilled but also very gentle and reassuring, which made me feel at ease throughout the entire procedure. Despite being away from home, I felt completely taken care of and confident in the quality of care I received.

I highly recommend the Magnificent Smile to anyone in need of dental services, whether you're a local or just passing through. It was my best decision to visit this dental practice to save my dental incident. Thank you for making my dental visit a pleasant and stress-free experience!
