The cleanings are very thorough, yet gentle. I haven't gotten a single cavity since getting my cleanings done here. Dr. Sfikas is thorough with his check up post-cleanings to make sure I don't have any other oral issues or possible related pain from my sinuses, throat and ears. Sfikas team also doesn't try to push any extra services or products that are not covered by insurance like some dental offices do. The admin team is also very nice and great at sending reminders of appointments. There were a couple of times I needed a cleaning moved up ASAP at the last minute due to travel commitments and they always some how managed to squeeze me in. When Sfikas was no longer in network with my insurance, the admin took care of me to make sure I was not financially worse off. I had a family member that needed an emergency tooth extraction over the holidays and after calling around over 10 dentist offices in the neighborhood, only Dr. Sfikas' office called me back to squeeze my relative in the very next day during his lunch hours! My relative didn't speak any English, but Sfikas and his whole team were very patient and gentle with her. Thank you so much and I hope you never retire!

I should have written this review a few years ago at least. I think that's how long I've been…read moreseeing Dr. Sfikas. The entire team and doctor are great. I feel like Dr. Sfikas really takes time to listen to any concerns you may have, answer any questions and really explain why he needs to do something or what is going on. He never seems to try to get you to do needless procedures. He's kind and thorough. His staff are all great as well--from the hygienists to the front desk staff. The office is definitely not as high tech or fancy as a lot of dental offices seem to be these days, but I never doubt the cleanliness or care I'm receiving. Bonus, free validated parking in garage at The Breakers. Highly recommend if you're looking for a new dentist!

TL/DR: Look elsewhere if you want a dentist who isn't dismissive of your pain and believes you when…read moreyou tell them of previous experiences. I have been coming here for about 5 years. Cleanings have been fine, and I have gotten three fillings taken care of here. The first two were with Dr. Hagan. The one I got today was with a new dentist, I believe his name is Dr. Shah (I'm not positive of the spelling.) I have weird teeth. Other dentists have commented that I have long tooth roots and long nerves, and nerves that connect to each other in weird places. This means that over the years I have been able to feel a drill when I "shouldn't" be able to. This happened with my first filling appointment with Dr. Hagan. When I felt the pain he stopped and was apologetic. He left and took another look at my chart and x-rays, and confirmed that I have what he called a rare "extra" nerve that needed to be numbed in a different place. He numbed it, waited longer than usual, and continued. Everything was fine. At my next filling years later, I reminded him of what happened the last time. He confirmed that he had already seen his note in my chart and that he would give me the extra numbing shots and wait longer for them to kick in. There were no problems that time. Today I had a filling with the new dentist. I told him about my history and that I usually needed extra numbing and more time. I said that another dentist here had made a note of it and asked if he saw it. He was dismissive, saying something to the effect of "I'm very good at this/I've done this a lot". He didn't mention whether he had seen the note in my chart. I was not trying to infer that he isn't a good dentist, I was just telling him about my history. He assured me that the numbing would work fast. He then started drilling, which I fully felt. I cried out in pain and raised my hand and he stopped. He seemed shocked that I could feel it. (Like I said, I am aware that my teeth are unusual, but I told him about it to *prevent this from happening*. And I assumed he would have seen Dr. Hagan's note in my chart.) I was crying at this point. He said sorry and gave me another shot and waited a while. When he started drilling again everything was fine. He then had to stop and leave the room for about 15-20 minutes for what seemed like an emergency with another patient. Fine, that is not something he can control. But when he came back I could feel the drill again after a while. Again he seemed surprised and skeptical, but numbed me more before continuing, and finished the filling. I will not be returning to this office after this appointment. I am not exaggerating when I say it was traumatic. It is horrible to feel a drill going into your tooth. It is extremely frustrating to be dismissed and treated like you're being dramatic or lying about pain. I have no reason to make up the fact that I am not numb enough. I don't want to feel a drill. I just want the filling to be over with. I don't care how "good" you are or how many fillings you have done. A patient is an expert when it comes to their own body and their own past experiences. And medical professionals should listen to their patients. The dentist apologized at the end of my appointment, but the damage had been done, and if he had read my chart before my appointment, or taken me seriously at the beginning of my appointment, this wouldn't have happened and no apology would have been necessary.

Beware. These big conglomerate, boutique dental offices do not prioritize member care, they…read moreprioritize profits. Dentologie has twice now informed me of additional service recommendations AFTER the appointment, even though I was there for a cleaning and had an exam by a dentist. I was recently told I had two cavities after the appointment and should schedule fillings, though I have no pain or discomfort in either teeth. But what's more flabbergasting is that these concerns were not brought up during the live appointment or dentist exam. While these fillings could be services I need, the disjointed way it's handled leads me to question the authenticity and whether or not these are just money grabs. I will be pursing a second opinion and looking for a more traditional mom and pop dental office that I feel I can trust.

Ever since I was a kid, I've been nervous about going to the dentist but Dr. D's excellent bed side manner always puts me at ease. He takes the time to talk to and get to know his patients and shows a genuine interest in their lives. Apart from his friendliness, he's also gentle with your teeth and always does a pain-free job with whatever you need fixing. I had to get a root canal done and naturally I was terrified! Dr. D made my root canal experience as comfortable and painless as possible. He is honest about what you need fixed/done and genuinely takes his time to ensure the procedure is perfect and flawless instead of rushing like some doctors tend to do. He's even gone out of the way to make room in his schedule and accommodate my husband when he had two separate dental emergencies. I can't thank him enough for everything he's done for my teeth and my family's. If you're reading this review and debating on choosing a new dentist, look no further, chose Dr. Demetrakakis! He's the best of the best.
