About Simona Bareket, D.D.S / HP Smiles Dental
Simona Bareket, D.D.S / HP Smiles Dental is a dental practice on Laurel Avenue in Highland Park, Illinois. Holistic, or biological, dentistry applies standard dental diagnosis and treatment within an approach that emphasises material choice and conservative treatment, considering oral health as connected to the body more broadly rather than treating the mouth in isolation.
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.
Beyond any single treatment, most dental visits start with an examination — checking for decay, reviewing the gums, and looking at existing fillings or crowns — often alongside X-rays where there is a reason to look between or beneath teeth. That groundwork is what a dentist uses to explain any findings and set out next steps before you leave.
Routine attendance, roughly every six months for most people, is what actually keeps small problems small. A lot of decay and gum disease develops without any pain in its early stages, which is why regular checkups matter even when nothing seems to be wrong, rather than only booking an appointment once something hurts.
A first appointment at a new practice typically covers a full examination, a review of your dental and medical history, and a professional cleaning, with X-rays if you do not have recent ones. It is also a reasonable time to raise any longer-term concerns, cosmetic or otherwise, so they can be factored into a plan going forward.

Dr. Simona is a great dentist. The fact that she is holistic is just a bonus. She is the most gentle, careful, thorough, fast, and friendly dentist I’ve ever had. The staff are professional and also very friendly. A friend who is also a patient put it simply. Dr. Bereket? Best dentist ever.
Exceptional holistic dental care, professionalism and genuinely kind hearted staff.
They are so professional, caring, and willing to go outside of the normal to make sure that you get the best quality treatment. Thank you so much very much appreciated and an excellent job with my Crowne.
An absolutely fantastic team, applying the deepest care and long-term consideration no matter the concern. A stellar practice that took the time to see me in an emergency capacity while traveling, carrying on the same mission-driven and health-forward work of Dr. Joel Sanders. A remarkable resource for anyone living in the Chicagoland area. Cannot sing their praises highly enough.
This review is long overdue. After several visits with other dentists for my granddaughter who had several decayed baby teeth, she told us nutritionally what could be done and how to proceed going forward. No one had even addressed the connection to how she ate (picky, grazing eater) to why her teeth had developed cavities. In adoption to her concerned, but not overly judgmental demeanor, she educated us on what to do going forward and how to protect her adult teeth. What’s also worth a huge mention is her staff. They are top tier! Friendly and very warm. They responded with urgency when we needed a fast appointment. They helped us in getting treatment at another facility which required a lot of hoops and loops on Dr. Barekat’s end, which took days to complete. But they did so willingly and we couldn’t be more grateful. She’s a great dentist and we’re lucky to have her here in Illinois. ❤️
We couldn’t be happier that we found this office. From the moment you walk in, the entire team is incredibly kind, welcoming, and professional. Dr. Simona is not only highly skilled, but also so gentle and thoughtful in her approach—she really takes the time to make you feel comfortable and informed. We had amalgam fillings removed using the SMART method, and the level of care and attention to safety was outstanding. Everything was explained clearly, and we felt completely at ease throughout the process. It’s such a relief to have found a dentist we truly trust right here locally. Highly, HIGHLY recommend!
Dr Simona and her team are so warm and friendly and knowledgeable, and this was the best experience we’ve ever had at a dental practice. If you’re looking for a dentist in the north shore that is warm, friendly, holistic, and patient-focused above all else I’d say look no further. It really is a unique practice and we highly recommend Dr. Simona to anyone looking for a really welcoming and well rounded team. We couldn’t be happier with the care we have received here.
I was referred by my functional doctor to come here and cannot say enough great things about my experiences! I had first a deep cleaning then another appointment to have my amalgam fillings removed. The entire staff was incredibly welcoming and friendly and made both my appointments very at ease. Dr. Simona and her staff do AMAZING work! They are very gentle and professional and I love their holistic approach. I’m looking forward to my future visits with them!
