Today we’d like to introduce you to Tanya Melnyk.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Tanya. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
Soon after graduating I began working in the Chicago area as an associate dentist for a large dental group. During this time, I had the opportunity to expand my knowledge and expertise, while enhancing my skills and techniques. I felt comfortable in the care I provided but desired more in cultivating relationships with my patients.
In 2017, I purchased Smileworks Center from Dr. Lani Basco, a well-regarded dentist, who had created a patient culture that was unique and based on genuine relationships. I intend to continue this philosophy, and promote a professional and caring environment for my patients.
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
My education provided me with all the necessary skills to provide quality dental care. However, purchasing and owning a business was unfamiliar. I reached out to all available resources, asked questions, did research and learned a lot along the way.
Alright – so let’s talk business. Tell us about Smileworks Center – what should we know?
Smileworks Center is a general and cosmetic dentistry practice. We provide preventative care, esthetic restorations, TMJ treatment, Implant restorations and Invisalign treatment. We pride ourselves on creating a genuine and understanding atmosphere for our patients. Integrity, education and open communication is at the core of our practice.
Is there a characteristic or quality that you feel is essential to success?
Passion is a key quality for a business’ success. I love the technical aspect of dentistry and what I create; I also truly enjoy the relationships I build and positive impact my work has on patients’ lives. Every task is met with the reward of creating health, esthetics and function.
