About

Dr. Joy V. Poskozim is proud to serve Lincolnwood and the NW side of Chicago through integrative family dentistry. At Joyful Dental Care, we understand that dentistry is more than just fixing teeth; it is building relationships and creating an environment where everyone can feel comfortable receiving dental care. We have incorporated oral appliances for mild and moderate sleep apnea, dental laser therapy, quality dental care and patient compliance; creating a positive dental experience for the entire family. We also can come to you in the case of being house-bound! Many dental procedures can be performed at home. These include: 1) Dental cleanings. We brush our patients’ teeth with a toothbrush and toothpaste at the end! 2) Exams. These include oral cancer screenings with a portable screening device known as Velscope. http://www.velscope.com/ a) exams for seniors especially focus on dry mouth, since dry mouth causes so many problems from bad breath to an increase in cavities. 2) X-rays. This is done with a portable dental x-ray device known as a NOMAD. X-rays are taken at the home, then developed back at the office. 3) Simple extractions. Patients on blood thinners and/or high blood pressure medications would need a written permission note from their physician, but as long as a care-giver is with them at time of the appointment to take care of them when done, instruments can be brought to them! 4) Mouthguards. A lot of dementia medications cause patients to unnecessarily grind/clench their teeth. Impressions can be taken anywhere. 5) Complete and partial dentures. Impressions, try-ins, and adjustments can be done at home. 6) Denture and partial denture repairs. These can also be done at home. Sometimes the denture has to be repaired at a lab, but the denture is taken and brought back to the patient at home. 7) Implant-retained overdentures. The implants have to be done at a dental office, but their current denture can be retro-fitted to their new implant(s) at home.

I had an absolutely fantastic experience at Joyful Dental with Diane, Eve, and Dr. Cris! From the moment I stepped into the clinic, I felt warmly welcomed and cared for by the entire team. Diane at the front desk was incredibly friendly and efficient. She greeted me with a bright smile and handled all the paperwork and scheduling effortlessly. Her warm demeanor immediately put me at ease, making the check-in process a breeze. Eve, the dental hygienist, was exceptional in her work. She was gentle yet thorough during the cleaning, making sure I was comfortable throughout the entire process. She took the time to explain the importance of oral hygiene and provided valuable tips for maintaining healthy teeth and gums. I left feeling confident that my dental health was in good hands. And last but not least, Dr. Cris was simply outstanding! He took the time to listen to my concerns and answered all my questions with patience and expertise. His professional demeanor and friendly approach made me feel reassured and confident in his care. He performed a thorough examination, and I could tell that he genuinely cared about my oral health and overall well-being. The atmosphere at Joyful Dental was indeed joyful! The clinic was clean, modern, and equipped with the latest dental technology. The entire team worked seamlessly together, creating a positive and stress-free environment. Overall, my experience at Joyful Dental with Diane, Eve, and Dr. Cris exceeded my expectations. I left the clinic with a smile on my face, knowing that I had found a dental care provider I can trust and rely on. I highly recommend Joyful Dental to anyone looking for top-notch dental care and a team that truly cares about their patients' well-being. Thank you all for the excellent service!

A pleasant experience for teeth cleaning at Joyful Dental Care. The receptionist is kind and patient. Dr. Julienne Hong is very friendly, efficient, and professional for teeth cleaning, and also she provides me with further suggestions about the following treatment. I will recommend my family and friends visit here as well.

I worked with Dr Christian Caicedo but also met with Dr Joy while she was working the front desk herself! Excellent service overall. Easy to book. Paid attention to and addressed all my questions and concerns. Dr Caidedo helped me come up with a treatment plan tailored to my needs. Great interpersonal skills all around.

I can't recommend this office and Dentist Dr Joy Poskozim enough! She was just fantastic! Calming, caring, compassionate, and funny. The entire staff is just as wonderful! I'm a skittish dentist person, and they really helped me get through getting my tooth pulled. An unexpected tooth fracture left me very scared, and they really helped me be at ease. The office is brand new with state of the art equipment and instruments. I had a long list of dentists to choose from, and my gut kept telling me to pick her. At first her name was what got me. Joy! And that's exactly how my experience was. Joyful!

Dr. Joy has a most engaging "chairside" manner. She explains everything she is doing, is accommodating of all your questions, and provides a delightful history of the evolution of human teeth. It was my first visit but I felt like I had just spent an hour with a good friend.

I've always had TERRIBLE dental anxiety. But Dr. Joy had me laughing by the end of my appointment. She's really dedicated, and doesn't try to sell you anything unnecessary. Lucy (Dr. Joy's assistant) and Diana (receptionist) are really sweet too and will do everything they can to help you. I was uninsured, and I joined their Kleer program to help save some money and it's been a great option for people who don't have insurance or want supplemental insurance.
