Smile More Dental

What Smile More Dental does

Smile More Dental Implant and Cosmetic Center is a privately held, multi-location dental practice operating two clinics in the Chicago metropolitan area (Lombard and Aurora, Illinois). Founded in 2016 and operated as Smile More Dental LLC, the practice provides a comprehensive range of dental services spanning preventive care (exams, cleanings, digital X-rays), restorative procedures (fillings, crowns, bridges, root canals, dentures), cosmetic treatments (Invisalign clear aligners, veneers, Zoom in-office whitening), and complex surgical and implant procedures including single implants, All-on-4 full mouth restorations, and implant snap-in dentures. The clinics use all-digital facilities with modern radiography and 3D imaging systems, including Invisalign's 3D computer imaging workflow and ALARA-compliant digital X-rays.

The practice employs three dentists with advanced credentials (Dr. Sami Diab, Mastership of the International Dental Implant Association; Dr. Hiba Diab, Fellow of the International Dental Implant Association and former UIC clinical faculty; Dr. Jenil Shah, DMD from UIC) supported by 11–50 total staff, and operates seven days a week across both locations. Revenue is generated on a fee-for-service, one-time-procedural basis with a $99 new patient exam special used for acquisition; the practice augments consumer demand by accepting in-network PPO coverage from Delta Dental, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Aetna, Humana, MetLife, and Guardian, and by offering patient financing through Cherry, CareCredit, Lending Club, and Sunbit. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via the website, YouTube-hosted patient testimonials, before/after galleries, and an AI-powered Smile Generator visualization tool that drives cosmetic and implant case starts.
