out of Read Reviews for Dr. John Tsaknis
Dr Tsaknis recommended removing a wisdom tooth as part of "preventative"dentistry,
in case it might get a cavity. Why not remove all my teeth?
Dr. Tsaknis was very rough in removing an old filling, and
the new one was not put in correctly. He replaced two fillings in ten minutes,
if that is any indication. I had trouble with my bite,
and my tooth is now both cold and heat sensitive.
I have been back several times to see if it can be fixed. There
seems to be a high chance I will require a root canal.

Other than cleanings, I had 3 fillings done by Dr. Tsaknis. He did not use any form of numbing, said it was "better for me" so I would be able to eat afterwards. Not having had a filling for a long time, I said ok, thinking how painful could it be. Incredibly. I won't be doing that again!
The right side of my mouth where I had the fillings continued causing me pain, over a month after it was done and after 3 "adjustments" (I was not able to chew on that side without a stinging sensation). They were more than happy to bring me in on short notice for adjustments, which was great. On the 3rd adjustment Dr. Tsaknis admitted that I should not be feeling any residual pain and said I should make an appointment to have the filling redone. I asked him point blank, something along the lines of -- "so, was there a problem with the way my filling was done that resulted in this?" His response was brusque and attempted to redirect blame -- "according to the American Dental Association, if a patient continues to experience pain you remove the filling and redo it so that's what we're going to do." Wow, talk about not admitting to a mistake. Had it redone and, guess what, pain continues. Ridiculous. Needless to say, I am MOVING ON!

Dr. Tsaknis is an excellent dentist with an excellent chairside manner. He has a nice way about him, a good sense of humor, he explains things well, he's extremely competent, and he always smells like soap. His office will research costs regarding insurance and will do the insurance paperwork for you for a small fee (which many dentists in the area don't offer for any money). He's done a couple of root canals, a crown replacement on an old crown that broke, and a couple of fillings. I recommend him without hesitation.
About Hygienist: The hygenist and everyone else in the practice is friendly and efficient, and as far as I'm aware, they glove up before they put their hands in your mouth.

Competent, approachable; modern facilities. But, last yr : '09 - '10, noticed a change. He's beginning to act like a used-car salesman. He's showing less interest in me, the patient and more in what services he can tack on -- necessary or not. Noticed this in my last two visits. Since it's no longer convenient for me to get to, I'm taking this opportunity to change dentists.

He saved teeth that other dentists were about to pull. He gives you treatment OPTIONS and YOU choose what is best for YOU. He's great, as is his office staff.
