About Confident Smiles
Confident Smiles operates on West Addison Street in the North Center area of Chicago, Illinois. Sedation dentistry uses inhaled, oral, or intravenous options to help patients relax through treatment, ranging from nitrous oxide for mild anxiety through to deeper sedation for longer or more involved procedures. It is commonly used for patients who have avoided the dentist for years due to fear.
Left untreated, small dental problems tend not to stay small. A minor cavity that would have been a straightforward filling can progress to needing root canal treatment and a crown, and early gum inflammation that would have reversed with a good cleaning can progress toward bone loss around the teeth. Catching things early is generally the difference in both effort and cost.
Continuity matters in dental care — seeing the same practice over time means your history, X-rays, and any patterns in your oral health are already on file, rather than starting from scratch at each visit. That familiarity is part of what a regular dental home offers beyond any single appointment.
Dental anxiety is common, and most practices are used to working with nervous patients — through clear explanations of what is about to happen, a slower pace where needed, and sedation options for patients who want them. Avoiding the dentist out of anxiety tends to make eventual treatment more involved, not less.
Children benefit from starting dental visits early, generally by their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth coming through, mainly so they become familiar with the setting before any treatment is actually needed. Establishing that routine early tends to make ongoing checkups far less stressful for both child and parent.
Payment and insurance arrangements vary by practice and by treatment, so it is worth asking directly what is covered and what options exist for anything that is not, rather than assuming either way. Getting that clarified before treatment starts avoids surprises once it is underway.

Excellent service, 100% recommended
I recently visited Confident Smile for my teeth cleaning, and I had a great experience. The entire staff was welcoming, professional, and made me feel comfortable from the moment I walked in. A special thanks to Barsha Bharadwaj, the dental assistant, for being so kind, attentive, and supportive throughout the visit. She made the entire experience smooth and comfortable by explaining everything clearly and ensuring I felt at ease. The dentist and the team were gentle, thorough, and took the time to answer my questions. The clinic was clean, well-maintained, and organized, which gave me confidence in the quality of care. My teeth felt fresh and spotless after the cleaning, and I truly appreciated the excellent care I received. I highly recommend Confident Smile to anyone looking for quality dental care. Thank you to Barsha Bharadwaj and the entire team for such a wonderful experience!
excellent💯
Dr. Barsa and his team are nothing but exceptional people. Always giving the best service along with great humor. I always receive great service when it’s my due time. I highly recommend this place for anyone who’s wants to get their smile back
I don’t normally leave reviews, but I felt I had to share my experience here. Dr. Barsa is not only a great dentist, but also a genuinely caring person who truly takes the time to look after his patients. His whole team is wonderful, especially Maria at the front desk, who makes you feel comfortable, welcome, and well taken care of from the moment you walk in. I highly recommend this clinic. It’s rare to find a team that combines such professionalism with genuine kindness and care.
This might be my second review because i’ve been seeing Dr Barsa for over 10 years and counting. It’s hard to find a dentist you can fully trust that he doesn’t just want to sell you on something or recommend something you may not need. Dr Barsa and his staff have my full trust and they’re worth the hour drive for me. Professionalism, respect for your time, cleanliness, friendly and honest. I moved twice and still go/drive to see him. 100/10 recommend!
Great customer service over texting! Doctor is straight forward and professional!
Dr. Barsa and his staff are the simply the best! Been going for 3 years now I think. Kind and caring, and great at explaining everything. I don't have dental insurance, but the membership program is excellent and visits are affordable! Thank you!
Great attention to detail. No pain
As someone who was initially very anxious about going to the dentist, everyone went above and beyond to make sure I felt comfortable and at ease. Dr Barsa was a breath of fresh air and very informative every step of the way. 10/10 experience.
