General & Family Dentistry in Chicago
Maintaining Your Healthy Smile for a Long Life
At Perfect Smile Dental Spa, we believe that general dentistry is essential to a healthy, beautiful smile and a long life. If you suffer from tooth decay, gum disease or TMJ disorder, Dr. Dotson or Dr. DeMars will restore your oral health, allowing you to smile with confidence.
Recent studies have linked gum disease to heart disease, stroke, osteoporosis and low birth weight babies. As general dentists, Dr. Dotson and Dr. DeMars are committed to ridding your mouth of disease with thorough cleanings and non-surgical periodontal therapy. We will also educate you and your family on proper ways to care for a healthy smile while you’re away from our Chicago dental office.
Many patients avoid regular cleanings and checkups, because they fear the dentist will find something wrong. Problems like tooth pain and cavities will require more invasive dental work in the future if neglected too long. At Perfect Smile Dental Spa, we provide a tranquil environment where you can receive the care you need. If you like, you can even “sleep” through your dental treatment with safe and effective oral or IV sedation.
We change lives, one smile at a time.
Dr. Timothy Dotson and Dr. Nichole DeMars are thorough general dentists. Call Perfect Smile Dental Spa or schedule an appointment online to receive the care your family needs for a lifetime of healthy smiles. We have provided North Shore Chicago residents with comprehensive care for over 20 years.

A message from Dr. Dotson on your Oral Health and living longer: “Would you like to live 8 to 10 years longer than the general population? According to extensive research by the Mayo Clinic, there are three things you can do to live longer.
- Brush two times every day.
- Floss once a day.
- Have your teeth professionally checked and cleaned by your dentist twice a year.
Why does this work? How can this be as important as diet and exercise? It’s because plaque is bacteria that lives in your mouth. If you brush and floss and see bleeding, then your gums aren’t sealing plaque out of your blood stream. Documented from medical research, 40% of plaque found in coronary artery disease originated in the mouth. That’s why professional cleanings are so important, because we clean away the tartar you cannot get out, and this allows the gums to reseal and protects the heart from plaque that could lead to heart attacks and strokes.”
