James Kakos DDS

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Kakos and his colleagues are always super friendly. I’ve been going here for years!

Experiencia fantástica: Professional Polite Courteous Friendly !!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Best dental experience One could hope for!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Kakos was able to schedule me the same day I called when my temporary crown came out. He was very friendly and patient with me. He explained every question I had. My new crown was sent to his office though I am not a regular patient at his practice and he was able to put in my new crown .

Experiencia fantástica: Quality service, polite and on time. Excellent staff. Modern techniques. Dr. Kakos has fabulous chair side manner and knows his stuff!

Experiencia fantástica: Everything perfect. On time. Everyone’s super nice.

Experiencia fantástica: I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Kakos. He stepped in during a very difficult and complicated situation to help my dentist remove a two-decade-old implant crown from an implant system that has long been discontinued and is no longer commonly worked on. This was not a simple procedure. The crown and abutment were extremely difficult to remove, and there was uncertainty about what would be found underneath. Dr. Kakos was willing to take on a challenge that many others would not, working carefully and persistently to help preserve my existing implant rather than moving straight to removal. His kindness, confidence, and willingness to help made an incredibly stressful situation much easier to handle. Thanks to his expertise and determination, the implant was saved and I can move forward with the next stage of treatment. I am truly grateful that he was willing to step in when I needed someone with the skill and experience to tackle such an unusual case. Thank you, Dr. Kakos!

Experiencia fantástica: My mother-in-law has been going to Dr. Kakos for over 25 years! The entire staff is professional, courteous and truly cares about providing gentle care. Dr. Kakos is very efficient and always provides an ample amount of time to get the work done - always faster than you think ! I'm guessing it's all of his years of experience with all kinds of patients and their multitude of complex dental issues.

Experiencia positiva: Dental hygienist and dentist very nice, but the price for teeth cleaning and X-rays $548. Way overpriced will find a new dentist.

Experiencia fantástica: My family has been going to Dr Kakos since the beginning of his practice where he and his staff and his son, Dr Stephan, makes us feel like family. They do excellent work and we always look forward to going to the dentist. Even our children, when they were little Dr Kakos and his staff always made it such a comfortable experience for them so it was always easy taking them to the dentist. Now as adults they feel at home. We highly recommend Dr Kakos. Thank you so much for all you and your staff do for my family! Julie

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent dental care. I have been a patient of Dr Kakos for 15 years. My latest procedure was with his son, Stephen who recently joined the practice. Very professional and gifted. The staff is superb. Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: I would highly recommend Dr Kakos. I had 4 teeth pulled in the upper front with no pain I did not fee the shots at all. Not only is he a superb dentist his charm and humor helped with my anxiety. Clean office modern technology and a good staff. 10 stars!!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr Kakos is a friendly, knowledgeable dentist with cheerful, & courteous assistants/staff. I will highly recommend his practice for all your family dental needs.

Experiencia fantástica: Wonderful office…had young Doc Stephan, excellent just like his father.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been a patient of Dr. Kakos for may years. I trust Dr. Kakos an his staff. The staff is kind and wonderful. They will walk through procedures before starting or changing to next steps.I feel included in my own care...beyond just a yes or no regarding doing or not doing something. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Kakos is an exceptional dentist! My entire family has been going to him for over twenty years. We trust him completely with everything related to our oral health with items ranging from routine check-ups to dental implants and everything in between. We are fortunate to have found his practice!

Experiencia fantástica: So happy we could get in quickly to put crown back on

Experiencia fantástica: I was impressed with the entire team. As someone with a high level of dental anxiety, they were compassionate and took great care to ensure my comfort.

Experiencia fantástica: Emma is very knowledgeable and does a great job! Dr Kakos and office staff is very polite and friendly! I highly recommend their services!

Experiencia fantástica: As always, everyone was friendly and professional I always feel at ease there Terrific Staff!!

Experiencia fantástica: The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Dr Kakos is the best!

Experiencia fantástica: I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Kakos and all of his staff. The care that I have received and the feeling of being treated as an important individual in their practice and as a person has been unprecedented in my experience. Thank you Dr Kakos!

Experiencia fantástica: Exceptional care, genuine people, and a dental family I trust completely! Dr. Kakos and Stephan Kakos have truly become more than just my dentists. They’ve become like family. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with kindness, professionalism, and a level of care that immediately puts you at ease. They take the time to explain everything thoroughly, genuinely listen, and ensure you feel comfortable and confident at every step of your care. Emma, who handles my cleanings, is absolutely amazing. She is gentle, incredibly thorough, and always makes the experience comfortable and stress-free. I actually look forward to my cleanings because of her — which says everything. The rest of the staff deserves just as much recognition. Every single person is friendly, attentive, and truly cares about the patients. You’re never rushed, never treated like a number, and always made to feel welcome. If you’re looking for a dental office where skill, compassion, and integrity all come together — this is it. I couldn’t recommend Dr. Kakos, Stephan, Emma, and the entire team more highly. They’ve set the standard for what exceptional dental care should be.

Experiencia fantástica: Very welcoming and professional

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve had great experiences with both dentists here—attentive, caring, and responsive to individual needs, including anxiety-free care. The techs are compassionate and skilled, and the admin team is efficient with insurance and follow-ups. It’s a practice I genuinely trust and feel comfortable returning to.

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent Dentist office. Excellent Employees. Very good hygienist. Hope she doesn't retire yet. praying for her arthritis.

Experiencia negativa: The ABSOLUTE WORST Dentist ever!!!! I paid in full for my teeth and was insulted for not being completely satisfied!! I asked why the teeth color didn’t match, why my upper teeth don’t meet my lower teeth! I was told l should have said something before! How did I know until you place the implants and supposedly adjust Now I am having everything redone by a professional competent Dentist, who will do the work and has already done work because my implant that came out had to be re-glued nine times from the work that Dr Kakos did and each time he charged me $300 to glue back the tooth that he originally put in this is ridiculous. People should not be very aware that you can safe yourself from the cost and trauma you will experience if you choose dr Kakos , l can’t even print the doctor prefix in capital

Experiencia fantástica: Wonderful staff, great Dr.'s, very pleased.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Kakos, & his staff are always detail oriented & ready to do the right procedure! A 5 star Dental practice, time & again’

Experiencia fantástica: Many years ago a friend suggested to consider Dr.Kakos to trust him for upper and lower implants he did an excellent job that is 18yrs ago and I maintain the hygiene dental care . I highly recommend Dr.Kakod and his great team. Elizabeth Huschitt

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve gone to Dr. Kakos’ practice for 20 years and have had nothing but great experiences my whole life. From him handling gum issues, a tooth removal, gingivitis, the ZOOM teeth whitening (which I give 100/10 stars!!), and so much more; it’s been nothing but top tier service. ALL of their staff is top tier. Warm, welcoming, helpful, always on time, the space itself is always super clean and well kept, and they’re very good about rescheduling/finding time that works with your schedule. Dr Kakos has been nothing but the absolute best with me. I remember how well he treated me after a horrible experience at a “children’s dentistry” when I was young. He didn’t make me scared to go to the dentist anymore - ha! He’s extremely skilled in his field, very knowledgeable, problem solver, empathetic, and is just a really sweet doctor. I’ve also met with his son, Dr. Stephen, a few times and he is great as well!! And a special shoutout to Terry. She has been cleaning my teeth since I was a young kid. She has a gift in what she does! Always provides the best service, efficiently and thoroughly when I come in and makes me feel right at home. Always going out of her way to make sure I’m comfortable during any cleaning. Love seeing her! Nothing but great things to say about Dr. Kakos’ practice. I love being a patient here.

Experiencia fantástica: Definitely a positive experience with Dr.James Kakos and staff. Five star rating isn’t enough, wish they had a ten star rating.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. James Kakos is a pro's pro and we are very happy with his dental work. The wife had a big multiple crown, implant, and bridge job done by him in his Naperville office about 3 years ago and we were and still are very happy with that major work. Today though we returned to this more convenient (for us) Arlington Heights office for a specialized need. Wife had a stripped screw not reliably holding a crown onto an implant and Dr. Kakos was able to extract and replace the screw as well as salvage the crown which was an unexpected bonus. This was a repair that our regular and very good dentist could not perform. I got to witness the work and wow, it was like watching an auto mechanic with a vast array of sophisticated miniature tools at work, and it was fascinating and amazing to see Dr James Kakos' skills in action. I could have more properly used the term cosmetic dentist as opposed to auto mechanic, but all those tools, widgets, and parts made me think of auto mechanic lol. I also have to specify his first name as his son Dr. Stephan Kakos (and third generation dentist!) also now works in this office as well as in Naperville. His specialist services aren't cheap but you get what you pay for and need. Thank you once again Dr. James Kakos!

Experiencia fantástica: Great

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone was so nice and so professional!! Best dental experience ever!!

Experiencia fantástica: I have always had a positive experience at Dr. Kakos dental practice. My wife and I have been patients with Dr. Kakos for 20 years, and have never had a negative experience. The top notch level of professional skill exhibited by the entire staff is a testament to Dr. Kakos high expectations, and they have always delivered. It was a pleasure to find his son, Dr. Stephen Kakos is carrying on with the same level of excellent care.

Experiencia fantástica: I recently had my teeth clean by Terry, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment I walked in, Terry made me feel comfortable and at ease. Her professionalism and attention to detail were evident throughout the entire process. Her friendly demeanor and gentle touch made the appointment enjoyable. I left with my teeth feeling incredibly clean and a big smile on my face. I highly recommend Terry to anyone looking for a skilled and caring Dental Hygienist. Thank you for the outstanding service!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr Kakos and his staff are very friendly. Very caring and helpful with any dental problems.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr James Kakos and Dr Stephan Kakos are both exceptional dentists who put this scaredy-cat at ease. They have a very similar gentle professionalism that helped me trust them both with problems I was very anxious about and avoiding for way too long. They had a lot of problems to solve in my mouth, and they came up with a plan to solve them in a reasonable amount of time, both in terms of not taking too long and also not trying to do too much at once. They are also both very skilled at monitoring a patient to avoid as much pain as possible, which was very much appreciated. They want me to pick a favorite, but I'm not going there! I'm happy to see either of them to continue my dental care!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr.Kakos and his team are all amazing professionals. Everyone at their office is so kind and welcoming, they really make you feel like a friend instead of a patient. Dr.Kakos always makes me laugh, which helps takes some of the stress off from visiting the dentist. His staff is amazing as well — everyone is so attentive and empathetic to all of your concerns. Plus, all of my procedures have been pain free! I highly recommend this office to my family and friends!

Experiencia fantástica: Very proactive in treating an emerging problem.

Experiencia fantástica: As many people, I don’t love having dental work done. However, Dr.Kakos and team make the experience painless, educational and even fun. I would recommend Dr. Kakos and associates to anyone!

Experiencia fantástica: Been a patient for many years. I will always recommend Dr Kakos. Nice office staff also.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been a patient for about 4 years. Dr Kakos and team have been helpful and prescriptive in their diagnosis. Recently, Dr Stephan helped with an immediate referral, same day appointment and went beyond to contact the specialist to convey his findings. Great treatment and service. I highly recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent service, expertise and courtesy. I highly recommennd>

Experiencia fantástica: The best Dentist ever! I have been with Dr. KAKOS since the early 90’s and I would like to recommend him to anyone who wants a dental practice with a professional staff, and a dentist who cares about the health of their teeth. His expertise is unsurpassable!

Experiencia fantástica: Very friendly and professional. Impressive dental care!

Experiencia fantástica: I can’t say enough great things about my experience with Dr. Stephan Kakos Jr.! From the moment I walked into his office, the staff was warm, friendly, and made me feel completely at ease. I had two cavities that needed to be filled, and I was a bit nervous about the procedure. However, Dr. Kakos Jr. was incredible. He took the time to explain everything to me beforehand, making sure I was comfortable and informed. When it came time for the shot, I barely felt it his technique was that good! The entire process of filling the cavities was smooth, efficient, and completely pain-free. Dr. Kakos Jr.’s attention to detail and genuine care for his patients truly sets him apart. It’s clear he takes great pride in his work and strives to make every visit a positive experience. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a top-notch dentist.

Experiencia fantástica: Friendly, professional, personable staff and Dentists. Well-trained team. Comfortable surroundings. Punctual.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Stephan Kakos is a very skilled dentist and I highly recommend him! He did my root canal, crown and a few of my fillings and everything went flawlessly. He goes above and beyond to make sure his patient is comfortable and very well taken care of. He has a great personality and is very knowledgeable in the field of dentistry. Such a great addition to Kakos Dental.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. James Kakos has been my dentist for almost 30 years. His dedication to his craft and patients is unmatched. My wife switched to Dr. Kakos a few years ago and she has been amazed by the difference in knowledge, professionalism, and service. We live in Milwaukee and continue to make the drive because we know that no dentist can provide a better experience or service. I have also known Dr. Kakos’ son, Dr. Stephan Kakos, who recently joined the practice, for just as long. Dr. Stephan Kakos has striven to become a dentist for as long as I can recall. He is ambitious, and has inherited his father’s work ethic and dedication to his craft. If you are looking for a new dentist, I couldn’t recommend the Kakos father-son duo more. You won’t be disappointed.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been going to Dr. James Kakos for about 8+ years now. By far the best dentist I have ever been to. From the dentist, to the hygienist, assistant, officer manager and front desk, all are very knowledgeable, professional, friendly and the best I’ve dealt with. I have always seen Dr. James Kakos but this time I saw the new dentist Dr. Stephan. He was very professional, talked through what he was doing during my procedure, and I can tell he will have a very promising future in dentistry field. I would definitely see Dr. Stephan again.

Experiencia fantástica: Very pleasant, clean offices. Mike

Experiencia positiva: One can feel the negative effects of the private equity ownership. Upselling needless services, smaller goodie bags, etc. If it weren't for Dr. Kakos, I'd be gone.

Experiencia fantástica: I have neen going to see Dr. Kakos for years I started seeing his father and when he retired i knew his son would be an excellent dentist like his father.

Experiencia fantástica: Great experience! I was introduced by my son and a client of mine,. Very professional staff, and Terry is Amazing!!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Kakos’ dental hygienist Terry spent over an hour cleaning all aspects of my teeth and gums. After taking a full set of x-rays, Terry checked for tartar, plaque, gingivitis, ad gum recession. She discussed the benefits of using an electric toothbrush and offered recommendations on toothpaste and mouthwash. Terry was considerate of my comfort throughout each stage of the cleaning. Overall, an amazing experience.
