Fantastic experience: What a great visit with the doc and his associates! They were kind and friendly. I am very impressed with the service and care. Dr. Melonaikas (ooops...not sure about that spelling) spent time just chatting and getting to know me. I appreciated that thoughtfulness. Thanks ya'll! I'll be back:)
Fantastic experience: Everyone is super friendly and the hygienist was very gentle and thorough.
Fantastic experience: Plantation is my family’s regular dental office, and yesterday I had an old crown come off. I called Plantation at 2pm, was in by 4pm and on my way by 4:30! Quick and easy. Dr. M explained everything very succinctly and the procedure was much less involved than I feared. Yesterday just reinforces our belief that Plantation is the best office for our family here in Mooresville.
Fantastic experience: Easy visit, great staff
Fantastic experience: New patient and the experience was great! Friendly and caring staff - highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: Effecient friendly and trustworthy
Fantastic experience: Everyone is so friendly and always helpful. They take the time to answer my questions and make me feel at ease.
Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough good things about Plantation Dental. I moved an hour away and still make the drive because they’re just that good. I even tried switching to a closer dentist, and it only confirmed that there’s no one like Dr. Melonakos. The level of care, attention, and professionalism is unmatched. And Sloan is absolutely the best! The team here genuinely makes every visit a great experience. You can tell this office truly cares about their patients. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a dental team you can trust!
Fantastic experience: Excellent cleaning, evaluation and overall experience. Staff are friendly and thorough. Atmosphere is professional and very welcoming. Great experience with Dr. Melanakos! April 4, 2026. Once again in fact, every 6 months, I have a great experience with Dr Melonakos and my hygienist Whitney and of course, the front desk. While Sloan was out when I was there, she is a comforting and familiar presence whenever I walk into Plantation Dental. Highly recommend this practice!
Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough great things about this dentist—truly the best in town. He hires top-notch hygienists who are skilled, gentle, and make every visit comfortable. From the moment you walk in, the front desk staff welcomes you warmly, and the entire team treats you like family. Everyone is professional, attentive, and genuinely cares about your experience. If you’re looking for a dental office where you feel valued and well taken care of, this is the place to go.
Fantastic experience: Great dentist! Hygienist is awesome as well. Whitney does a great job cleaning my teeth. Conveniently located off Williamson road near Mooresville YMCA. Highly recommend Plantation Dental.
Fantastic experience: “Great service, friendly staff, and a clean office. Highly recommend!”
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend ! Consistently great experience and I’m a real coward when it comes to going to the dentist. From the friendly receptionist to excellent hygienists who keep you informed and calm . Dr M’s work is excellent and lasts - no having to go back because it feels funny. I have moved an hour away and still make the trip to this practice. Well worth the drive! 9/9/25 one more great experience ! 3/4/26 another five star visit
Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough about Plantation Dentistry! Dr. Melonakis is excellent, super knowledgeable and really cool! Whitney is a superstar, and Sloan at reception couldn’t be nicer!! They are a great team and my teeth is all the better for it!
Fantastic experience: Great Staff, excellent Sevice, Top notch care
Fantastic experience: I haven’t been to see a dentist for 10+ years everyone was very friendly and professional. I am actually looking forward to my next appointment. If you’re looking for a dentist definitely recommend Plantation Dental.
Fantastic experience: Very professional, friendly and excellent care. A pleasant experience.
Fantastic experience: Very friendly and efficient! Very thorough and keeps me informed about all that they are doing.
Fantastic experience: Staff was professional and friendly. Great atmosphere
Fantastic experience: We found a great family dentist office with a great staff. Always very welcoming and professional service. Thanks.
Fantastic experience: I had a scheduled appointment to get my tooth extracted with my regular dental office the week following but unfortunately needed it sooner, heard about plantation and gave them a call. They got me in immediately, the overall service from the front desk till the end was beyond my expectations. Tara who was assisting Dr.Melonakos was great, all of my concerns were addressed and she made sure I was as comfortable as could be prior. Dr.Melonakos was patient, kind, and very thorough in explaining all of my options. The extraction was the best experience I could have had, he consistently ensured I was numb through the process. I was very nervous/overwhelmed and the team really took care of me. If you’re looking for a new office and not sure, you will not be disappointed.
Fantastic experience: Very professional staff (and kind too). They try to get to know you and they never made me feel as I I was just a “billable “ opportunity.
Fantastic experience: As a former technician and lab owner I know a good dentist when I meet one. From chair side to finished restorations Dr Melonakos checks all the boxes. My wife and I are both satisfied patients
Fantastic experience: (2023) Great dentist! Great hygienist! Great staff! They check all the boxes. One of us has good teeth and one of us has not so good teeth. We get the level of care needed to keep each of us healthy. Every visit is a positive experience. Updated Review (2025): I lost my dental insurance last year and had to reduce my family’s twice a year visits until my insurance can be reinstated. Two nights ago I had a crown fall out. I called Plantation to see if they would see me ASAP (on a Friday) to get it fixed before a big weekend I had planned. They worked me into their schedule. They treated me as though I had a regular appointment. Dr. Melonakis took all the time needed to fix the crown. Even without insurance, I felt like the charge for services rendered was completely reasonable.
Fantastic experience: I have been a patient for 2 1/2 years and continue to be very pleased as to how friendly and professional the staff were, including the front desk staff. Whitney, the hygienist, was fantastic. I have sensitive gums and the cleaning was exceptional and performed with minimal discomfort. Whitney was very knowledgeable and thoroughly explained the entire process . Dr.Melonakis continues to be concerned with patients oral care and addresses all patients concerns and questions. I continue to highly recommend this practice.
Fantastic experience: Great team of professionals. Recommend Plantation Dental to all who are seeking the best dental care.
Fantastic experience: After trying a local dentist, which we were not happy with at all, we did some research and found Dr. Steven Melonakos and his group at Plantation Dental. He has a stellar reputation, and his online reviews and comments reflect that, so my wife and I decided to give him a try. I can tell you that the staff, and I mean the entire staff, are all wonderful and personable, and actually care about the patients who walk through the door into their office. That said, here is my review of my first and second experience Plantation Dental: First visit consisted of x-rays and dental history. Needless to say, it was a rather long visit because it also included a cleaning and examination. Dental Hygienist, Becca, was welcoming and personable and fastidious in the way she documented my dental history. She was equally as detail oriented when she assessed my teeth and did my cleaning. I have to say that she is the best hygienist to date to clean my teeth, truth! Dr. Melonakos came in after the cleaning, and introduced himself to me and asked me some questions about my dental history. We shared some personal stuff also. He is very personable and conversational. He performed a thorough and comprehensive examination based on the x-rays that were taken by Becca. And as well, he did a thorough physical cancer screening of my mouth and neck area. More comprehensive than any other dentist I have been to in the past. Dr. Melonakos did find one cavity on the x-rays. He had availability the next day. So I took the appointment. I showed up today, and as discussed, I reminded Dental assistant, Emily, that I would require no novacaine, since the filling was going to be comfortably far away from the tooth nerve. Everything went smooth and took about 45 minutes and there was no pain at all. The tooth looks and feels great. My wife and I are so happy that we found this fantastic group of people to take care of our dental needs. Needless to say, we both highly recommend Plantation Dental.
Fantastic experience: Great staff and Dr Melonakos is the best!
Fantastic experience: This place is the best. I am surprised everyone doesn't go here. It is clean, the staff are great, and Dr. Melonakos is not only a really nice person, but an excellent dentist. I feel very lucky to have found this terrific spot.

Fantastic experience: I am a patient for more than 10 yrs and my experience has not changed since first visit which has been excellent

Fantastic experience: I am a new patient to Plantation Dental. I chose this practice because of all the positive reviews. I was not disappointed. Every step of my appointment was a pleasure.

Fantastic experience: Outstanding caring dentist and staff. You never feel like he is too rushed to not establish a personal connection with his patients. Approximately 4 weeks after the last visit, I developed a tooth ache and Plantation Dental immediately made room on the schedule to treat me and care for it. Their customer care is exceptional.
Negative experience: The staff was very friendly and helpful, but the dentist was NOT. He ripped me off when my dentures crack and had to be repaired again. The assistant advised the price with be same as last time, when I went to pick up the dentures the dentist told me it was going to be double what the assistant told me. He implied I was lying!!! I will never go back!!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Steven Melonako and staff are amazing. I’ll start by saying i have anxiety when it comes to any mouth work. Well Dr. Melonako and staff made my experience relaxing and one that made me share. This office is phenomenal!
Fantastic experience: Very professional! The dental staff and office personnel are friendly and very accommodating. My wife and I have been patients for years and trust them to assure we maintain our dental health at the highest level possible.
Fantastic experience: I haven’t been to the dentist in over 22 years.. The folks at Plantation Dental are THE BEST. No kidding. They are friendly, knowledgeable and very gentle. I not only recommend them, I’m just sorry it took me so long to see them. Do not hesitate to make an appointment.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Melonakos is a great dentist. After yesterday’s visit, I’ve switched from the dentist I’ve been seeing for years over to Plantation Dental and Dr. Melonakos. He and his staff were very personable and nice. He has always been accommodating and could get me in on short notice where my primary dentist would not.
Fantastic experience: The day before our family left for vacation, our 7yo hit his front tooth on his handlebars. He was devastated, emotional, and hurting from the fractured tooth. Dr M was able to get him in same day and help us out. Tooth looks as good as new and our boy is happy to show it off.
Fantastic experience: Excellent dentist and staff. Uses ultrasound for cleaning, if asked, which is much more comfortable than using a pic. Dentist himself knows my history and always has good comments and solutions.

Fantastic experience: I really like this dentist. He's very pilot, professional, and all about satisfying you. Staff is very friendly. I can honestly say he has done /talked to me like no other dentist has about my teeth. He is caring and compassionate about his work he does for you. I strongly suggest you make an appointment. You will be glad you did. My brother referred them to me glad I went. M. Bailey
Fantastic experience: Whitney did a wonderful and efficient job of taking X-rays and cleaning my teeth. Always a pleasant interaction.
Fantastic experience: Great staff. Everyone is friendly and sincere.
Fantastic experience: Best Dentist that I've ever been to. He is very kind, compassionate, and really listens to the patient. He is responsive to my needs and is up front with price transparency prior to doing any work. His staff all share the same culture of making you feel like you are their only patient. When I go to the dentist, I don't want it to hurt, and neither do they. They constantly stayed in tune with how I was feeling and immediately responded as necessary and appropriate. I selfishly hesitate to give 5 stars because I don't want them to get too busy. But they deserve 10 stars!
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Dr. Melonakos; he is very knowledgeable, personable and an awesome dentist. I have had nothing but great experiences with the doctor, his assistants and the office administrative team.

Fantastic experience: I hate dentists. Majority of them are rude and judgemental. This office was not that. The Dr wanted to know about me. The Dr and staff never made me feel uncomfortable.

Fantastic experience: Probably best Dentist (and staff) I’ve ever visited in my over 50 years. My wife refuses to go anywhere else. Every aspect of this office is top notch. From front desk, to the hygienists, to Dr M, I couldn’t be more happy. Not to mention, my fear of dentist visits ended when I became a patient almost 10 years ago. Thank you for everything.
Fantastic experience: Very polite staff. Love that they are more into prevention than fixing. Definitely will be back.
