Detailed Introduction

The practice is spearheaded by Dr. James Kakos, a distinguished second-generation dentist who inherited his passion for dentistry from his father. Dr. James Kakos received his dental degree from Loyola University School of Dentistry in 1991 and has since pursued extensive continuing education, earning a Mastership in the Academy of General Dentistry (a distinction held by only 1% of dentists in the U.S.) and becoming a Fellow in the International Congress of Oral Implantologists. He is also a licensed dental anesthesiologist. His son, Dr. Stephan Kakos, is also part of the team, continuing the family legacy. The clinic prides itself on offering a wide array of dental services, catering to the entire family's oral health needs. Their services include general dentistry (exams, cleanings, fluoride treatments, oral cancer screenings), cosmetic dentistry (teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, cosmetic bonding, Invisalign® clear aligners), restorative dentistry (dental fillings, crowns, dental implants, bridges), and emergency dentistry. They also address specific conditions like sleep apnea and TMJ, and offer advanced procedures such as periodontal therapy. James Kakos DDS is committed to utilizing state-of-the-art technology to ensure effective and efficient treatment. This includes advanced tools like CEREC® (CAD/CAM) for same-day crowns, 3D CT Cone Beam X-rays for precise diagnostics, intraoral cameras, and Velscope for oral cancer screenings. The team is dedicated to creating a comfortable and welcoming environment for patients, with many staff members having been with the practice for years, fostering lasting relationships. Patients consistently praise Dr. Kakos and his staff for their professionalism, caring demeanor, and the quality of their work, emphasizing painless procedures and excellent results.

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.

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.

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!
