About
DentalQ, formerly known as Lincoln Shine Dental, stands as a premier dental practice in Chicago, delivering exceptional general, cosmetic, implant, and emergency dental care since its founding in 2016 by Dr. Mahi Mehr. With convenient locations in the vibrant Lincoln Park and South Loop neighborhoods, including the state-of-the-art office at 539 S Dearborn St, Chicago, IL 60605, DentalQ has quickly established itself as a trusted name for patients seeking modern, compassionate dentistry. Dr. Mehr's vision was to create a practice that combines cutting-edge technology with a patient-centered approach, making high-quality dental care accessible, affordable, and comfortable for everyone in the community. Over the years, DentalQ has grown from its roots as Lincoln Shine Dental into a two-location powerhouse, serving thousands of patients with a commitment to enhancing smiles and improving lives through proactive oral health solutions.[1]
The mission of DentalQ is rooted in empowerment and excellence: to provide comprehensive dental services that prioritize patient comfort, precise diagnostics, and personalized treatment plans. This philosophy shines through in every aspect of their operations, from the warm welcome at check-in to the detailed post-examination discussions that educate patients on their oral health. Unlike traditional dental offices that may feel clinical and impersonal, DentalQ fosters a welcoming environment where patients feel heard, valued, and at ease. Their team of experienced dentists, led by Dr. Mahi Mehr with over 10 years of expertise, utilizes advanced tools like digital scanning, 3D imaging, digital X-rays, and intra-oral cameras to ensure accurate diagnoses and natural-looking results for procedures such as crowns, implants, and night guards. This technological edge allows for same-day emergency treatments, efficient routine care, and transformative cosmetic enhancements, setting a new standard in Chicago dentistry.[1][2]
DentalQ's services span a full spectrum of needs, making it a one-stop destination for oral health. General dentistry forms the foundation, including routine cleanings (prophylaxis to remove plaque, tartar, and stains), fillings, comprehensive examinations, and preventive care to ward off gum disease. For restorative needs, they offer root canal therapy, crowns, bridges, extractions (including wisdom teeth), and dental implants that restore function and aesthetics seamlessly. Cosmetic dentistry is a highlight, featuring Invisalign clear aligners for discreet orthodontic correction, porcelain veneers for flawless smiles, and full smile makeovers that combine multiple treatments for dramatic results. Emergency services ensure prompt relief for pain, infections, or trauma, with flexible hours—including Saturdays—that accommodate busy Chicago lifestyles.[1][4]
What truly sets DentalQ apart is its unique value proposition: a blend of expertise, innovation, and genuine care that delivers consistently excellent outcomes. Patient reviews rave about the thoroughness, friendliness, and educational approach, with comments like 'the staff was really helpful... I felt in good hands' and 'they caught things my previous dentist didn’t,' underscoring their superior diagnostic skills and attentiveness. The modern, upscale offices in Lincoln Park and South Loop boast clean, comfortable settings with minimal wait times, efficient administrative processes, and a focus on personalization—whether tailoring a new patient appointment or crafting a long-term treatment plan that fits budgets and timelines. Dr. Mehr and the team emphasize empowerment, spending time to explain findings, answer questions, and involve patients in decisions, which builds lasting trust and loyalty.[2][5]
