Dr. Johnny Kuttab

Board Certified Pediatric Dentist

I grew up in Hoffman Estates and received my Bachelor degree in Biological Sciences and Dental Science from UIC in 2004, continued on and received my Doctorate in Dental Surgery in 2008, and completed my post doctorate education in Pediatric Dentistry at Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago/Northwestern University in July of 2010.

I opened BrightSmiles Pediatric Dentistry in Sept of 2010. 3 years later, we are lucky to have a healthy growing practice with over 5000 active patients. My goal is to provide the best dental experience for your child, while also providing quality dentistry. I provide in office behavior management treatment, nitrous oxide sedation, and general anesthesia at Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago. 

I remain an active attending at Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago and train residents in pediatric dentistry. I served on the board of the Illinois Society of Pediatric Dentists.

I pride myself in my behavior management techniques, putting children in the best position to have memorable appointments. A happy patient is a happy parent.

After graduation, Dr. Ming moved to Chicago to pursue a General Practice Residency, which provided her with advanced training in areas of dentistry such as pediatrics and treatment of medically compromised and special needs patients.  She practiced as a general dentist for several years in private practice and community hospital settings before choosing to specifically focus on providing quality and specialized dental care for kids.   Dr. Ming served as chief resident and completed her pediatric training at Ann & Robert H.
