Choices in Dentistry

Dr. Gilleran and her team do such a great job that I actually like going to the dentist!

My 10.13.2026 semi-annual teeth cleaning with an outstanding hygienist and a thorough and expert dental evaluation by the amazing Dr. Patricia Gilleran DDS, is what keeps me a loyal & highly satisfied patient at Choices In Dentistry! Kathleen Gillespie, Evanston, IL!! YES-FIVE STARS! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (Disregard my error rating a moment ago)

Love Choices in Dentistry. Have been a patient for over 20 years. They provide excellent care and have kept my teeth healthy!😊

I've been a patient at Choices In Dentistry for more than a decade and have always had a positive experience during my appointments and interacting with their staff, hygienists, and doctors. Everyone is professional, kind, and really cares about your oral health! It's easy to schedule appointments (love being able to do it online!) and the office is conveniently located.

My dentist of 30 years retired and fortunately, I was referred to Dr. Garrett Solecki, whom had just moved from his practice in North Carolina to Chicago. From the moment I met him, I knew I had found another dentist who will hopefully be taking care of me for years to come! He totally put me at ease and explained a procedure I needed, at length. He has been right on time for every visit I have had in the last year. His staff is very friendly and welcoming. Mariela, his assistant is kind and reassuring. I highly recommend Dr. Solecki, who is extremely knowledgeable, all about comfort and is a well rounded, great guy whom I feel grateful to have been introduced to!

TLDR: Myofunctional therapy with Toni has been an A+++ experience. She's an exceptional therapist and coach, and optimizing tongue posture has benefits far beyond my mouth -- improving my breathing, posture, and overall well-being. I am nearly complete with my therapy with Toni after several months now, and the experience has exceeded my expectations. For years I'd known that tongue posture was important, but I hadn't consistently practiced it, nor really known proper technique, which I now know is key. Now I truly understand how foundational and integral it is. Improving tongue posture supports better breathing and airway function, which positively impacts the nervous system and overall health. I have a very narrow palate, which presents challenges with tongue posture, airway and breathing. On top of that, Toni recognized several mannerisms that suggested myofunctional therapy could improve my breathing, posture, and more. I appreciate that Choices incorporates this holistic approach into its care. Toni is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate on this subject and in turn an outstanding coach. The exercises can be challenging - require engaging very specific muscles, and not others. You need a therapist who is patient, adaptable, skilled at explaining concepts in different ways until they click. Toni is and does exactly that, and she genuinely cares about her patients' success, customizes treatment to each person's anatomy and needs, and makes the process enjoyable and effective. Before starting therapy, I was considering other interventions for my palate and breathing. I believe myofunctional therapy is the essential first step. Much like establishing the proper foundation -- footwork, balance, stability -- before improving other aspects of golf or tennis swing, building the right foundation first allows everything else to work better. Since starting therapy, I'm now much more aware of my tongue, lips, and facial muscles. I've noticed improvements in my speech, smile, facial symmetry, neck and jaw tension, posture, headaches, and breathing. I'm incredibly grateful I got to work with Toni - she's passionate and skilled + a genuinely lovely person. I highly recommend her to anyone considering myofunctional therapy. Additionally, the entire team at Choices deserves recognition. I've been a patient for years and have always appreciated their holistic, integrative approach and commitment to exceptional care. Everyone - from office manager to dentists and support staff - is professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in their patients. I highly recommend the entire practice.

I am so grateful to have found Toni for my myofunctional therapy! She provided the most thorough initial evaluation I have ever had. As a healthcare provider myself, I admire her attention to detail and enthusiasm for patient care. No stone is left unturned with Toni. I would recommend her care to anyone!

I’ve been coming to the dentists in this practice for over 20 years. They are truly exceptional. Caring, honest and don’t recommend any frivolous procedures. Highly recommended.

After my dentist in the suburbs retired, I was I need of a new practice. Somewhat daunting. But a friend recommended Choices in Dentistry. Without a doubt, this is one of the most professional dentist practices I’ve ever experienced. In fact, a medication I was on for years was negatively impacting my gums and I had no idea until their examination… due to their work and consultation I’m on the right path. Beyond this, my dental hygienist was also thorough and professional. I wholeheartedly would recommend this practice to anyone

Beyond satisfied with Choice Dentistry. 10 out of 10 for professional and friendly service. I appreciate the knowledge, practical advice and consultations of Dr Gilleran.

I rarely give a review unless it really deserves five stars! I am so lucky I have found Choices in Dentistry! I have been seeing doctor Nellie Sutherland for a few years now and she deserves more than five stars! Not only does she do an exceptional job but she is very honest and will not perform any unnecessary procedures. I have previously had a terrible experience with my last dentist who took advantage of my trust and gave me fillings where it was not necessary and crowns that were not needed. If you are looking for a dentist who is a perfectionist and looks out for the best interest of their patients, this is the place to be. I came across this office when my lifestyle changed to a more holistic approach and I found out they use ozone (which kills bacteria) as an add on during your cleaning service and also combine traditional with biological dentistry. The whole staff is extremely professional, kind and the office will give you a zen vibe. From the front desk, dental Hygienist to the Doctors you are taken care of. I’ve been so pleased with this dental office that I’ve sent my husband here who had to get his silver amalgam fillings removed using the S.M.A.R.T. – Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique in order to not get exposed to the toxic mercury and this office is one of a few that is certified for this technique. Dr. Nellie Sutherland removed two silver amalgam fillings for him and his experience was so great that he is switching his dentist for doctor Sutherland. Thank you to doctor Nellie Sutherland and the whole staff!
