I drive over 3 hours to be seen in this office and it’s so worth it! I always used to dread going to the Dentist because I have complicated issues- but every person in this office is just lovely. Yolanda, my hygienist, is so caring and encouraging, it’s like talking to a good friend! Dr Simona and Vlora both took extra time with me today, helping me understand different options, and I just truly appreciate that level of care. And Ronna is always helpful at the front desk! 🙂

I have always had a great experience! I now have a much more comprehensive dental care routine which has yielded noticeably positive results. It’s not always easy finding an honest and high quality dentist, let alone a holistic dentist like Dr. Simona Bareket. I previously went to Dr. Joel Sanders for about 10 years. I know I am in good hands with Dr. Simona who took over. I highly recommend HP Smiles Dental, especially Yolanda for giving such thorough teeth cleanings and helpful advice.

I went to Dr. Simona for a second opinion after the dentist I had been going to for many years told me one of my molars needed to be extracted. Dr. Simona determined that the tooth was cracked but the root of the tooth was still alive. Dr. Simoa put a crown on the tooth and was able to keep my tooth from being extracted. Dr. Simona also did some preventative work on my teeth. I am grateful that Dr. Simona is proactive rather than allowing issues to develop into bigger problems. I moved my records to her practice and I am now one of her patients.

I had a crown break in two and come off on a Sunday night (crown installed by another dentist years ago). I contacted HP Smiles on a Sunday night, received an e-mail response, and had an appointment the next day – the fortunate result of a cancellation. Dr. Bareket and her technician did me a wonderful service – made and installed a temporary crown, prepped the tooth for a final crown, and took impressions needed for that final crown. Each step was explained. Dr. Bareket was gentle in administering Novacaine and skilled in prepping the tooth for the new crown. I really appreciate the skilled dental support and that my need could be addressed in a most timely manner.

I am a new patient at HP Smiles and they have already earned my highest recommendation. After spending my entire adult life in the military, I have since sought to regain autonomy over my body and healthcare. I wanted a dentist that listened to my concerns, educated me on best practices for my health and honored my input regarding the substances used in my treatment.

So far, I have been impressed with every aspect of service from HP Smiles. The receptionist provided excellent directions to the facility because as she predicted, the GPS would try to get me to drive into an alley, she also provided an impromptu lesson on dental insurance at the end of my visit.

The dental tech/hygienist was so very personable and kind. She made me feel very comfortable and educated me on the practices that were unique to HP Smiles.

Dr. Simona exudes competence and care, two characteristics that I require from a healthcare provider. She took her time and educated me on the connection between individual teeth and certain parts of the body. She also offered me other optional services with zero pressure or a sales pitch.

HP Smiles also partners with a holistic practitioner that can do an electroacupuncture (EAV) reading on you to determine which dental products used at HP Smiles work best with your individual body. Once again, this was a service offered with absolutely no pressure which I appreciate.

When it was all said and done, I walked out with a clear plan moving forward and a nifty poster showing which organs, glans, etc are affected by certain teeth. HP Smiles did more than earn a new patient yesterday, they gained a fan! Thank you again for the exceptional service!

Dr. Sanders has been our dentist for over 25 years. He is an extremely conscientious, caring, skilled and professional dentist who also, by the way, delivers a relatively painless injection. He considers the entire patient in a holistic and collaborative manner so that the best treatment outcome is achieved. Dr. Sanders works to expand his dental knowledge by keeping abreast of new trends and research in dental care so that patients receive optimal care. We are very fortunate that Dr. Sanders cares for our family’s dental health.

Cindy & FamilyPatients

Joel Sanders approach to dentistry is holistic, technical and artistic. He is holistic in that he uses only the best and healthiest materials for your mouth; he is technical in that his work is thorough and precise; and artistic in his concern that you look good too. I am 73 and my mouth has never felt or looked as good as it does now; nor has it ever been as healthy. In addition, Dr. Sanders is sensitive to the patient’s needs, always consulting with utmost attention to each person’s peculiarities. I find him delightful and BEST OF ALL… for the first time in my life I do not dread going to the dentist. It is actually enjoyable.

Joel Sanders has been my dentist for nearly 20 years. I credit him with my good health today. He removed the mercury fillings and replaced them with non-metal materials. I was freed from all my allergies and completely regained my health.

I have had the pleasure of working with Dr. Joel Sanders DDS for the last 8 years. In that time I have witnessed the skill and compassion that separates Dr. Sanders from other dentists. His knowledge of holistic and biological dentistry is unsurpassed. Dr. Sanders takes the time to educate his patients on the importance of dental health and the relationship that has to overall health. I feel lucky to have such a skilled dentist to refer my patients to. I also can call Dr. Sanders our family dentist.

I am so pleased that I found Dr. Sanders! I had been searching for a long time to find a dentist who is aware of the relationship between my oral health and my overall health. I had traveled to northern Wisconsin to be treated by Dr. Doug Cook, the widely accepted guru of holistic dentistry. When he spoke so highly of Dr. Sanders, I was thrilled to learn that such a dentist was available to me in my area.

I knew right away that Dr. Sanders was the right dentist for me. He is extremely knowledgeable about holistic dental treatments and materials that are biocompatible with my body. I feel confident that my health is well supported under his care. The atmosphere in the office is relaxed, yet professional. I feel very comfortable with everyone on the staff. The receptionist is very approachable and flexible about making or changing appointments. The dental hygienist and dental assistants are friendly, competent, and helpful.

Every appointment begins promptly at the scheduled time, and the office is very clean. Dr. Sanders’ personal manner and his sense of humor make my visits enjoyable. He is gentle and understanding of patient’s feelings. Even his injections are painless! Dr. Sanders is the best biological dentist in the Chicago area. I would highly recommend him to all my friends and family without hesitation.

Dr. Sanders has been a remarkable professional to work with. Today; it is difficult at best to find people who have true passion for their profession, a pride in workmanship and an unwavering attention to detail and customer service. Dr. Sanders’ disarming ways creates an atmosphere of ease for the patient and the synergy that exists between he and his staff makes the patient feel important, valued and appreciated. Dr. Sanders is an artist and a perfectionist. His commitment to holistic dentistry has unquestionably improved the picture of pain that was once a part of my life.

As a holistic physician, I only recommend things that I personally use for myself. So in this regard I highly recommend Dr. Joel Sanders as he is our family’s holistic dentist. My wife and I and our 3 children love seeing Dr. Sanders and have benefited greatly in his proactive and natural approach to dentistry. The health of your teeth and gums play a crucial role in the overall wellbeing of your body and relationships.

The mouth is the gateway to health, and Dr. Sanders’ patients benefit from his expertise and professional abilities to turn this statement into a reality for them. It is a privilege to recommend his caring and excellence to the people we serve in our practice.

Dr. Sanders is a knowledgeable, conscientious, and skilled HOLISTIC dentist who takes the time to educate his patients in an effort to jointly determine the best options available on an individual basis. He is kind, caring, personable, and always professional. I highly recommend Dr. Sanders to patients and friends.

JudyCertified Nutritionist at Dr. Mercola’s Center for Natural Health

I have been a patient of Dr. Sanders for several years. Originally I came to him because he practices holistic dentistry and I was not interested in having my mouth be a cess pool of toxic materials. I found him to be much more concerned about my overall health than just limiting his thinking to my teeth. I recommend him to others because of:

  • The high quality work he does
  • His attention to detail,
  • The precision with which he performs his work.

I expect to have a long and mutually beneficial relationship with him.

I met Dr. Sanders many years ago in Chicago at one of my seminars. I was very impressed with Dr. Sanders’ interest in doing healthy dentistry. He called to tell me how much he liked low speed drilling and how much more comfortable it was for his patients. Dr. Sanders also saw the value of using no metal restorations and no metal oxide composite fillings for his environmentally sensitive patients. The bonding material he is now using is without aluminum or iron oxide, or fluoride for inlays crowns and bridges. Health is his main goal when helping his patients restore their teeth.

Flint Cook, owner of Cook Dental Lab considers Dr. Sanders one of the top outstanding dentists, who sends his crowns, inlays and bridges to be made out of Premise, a compatible unshaded filling material.

After searching for a holistic dentist, I am blessed to have met Dr. Sanders. He is gentle with his technique, yet manages to get difficult procedures done with ease. He and his staff are marvelous. I give him my highest recommendation!
