6.Can you furnish me with references and/or testimonials?
No one is better than current valued guests and patients of a Dental practice since they have been seen and have built a relationship with the team. We have a large list of guests and valued patients who are willing to communicate with you about their experiences, if you so choose. Also, you are welcomed to visit our review/testimonial site at :

7. Do you have payment options available?

We do offer multiple ways to help you with receiving your care. Cash, check, credit card payments as well as extended payments through third party financing and in-house are to name a few. Prepayment is always a wonderful way to receive a 5% courtesy.

8. Will you guarantee my satisfaction/Warranty your work?

Yes, as long as you as our guest and valued patient, return for your Doctor-assigned and recommended preventive visits(whether 3,4,6 months or a year) on time, follow the recommended hygiene and dietary regimens (to prevent decay and gum disease) and act promptly to take care of ALL of the necessary treatments we will warranty restorations and crowns for a full 5 years, replace them no questions asked! But,remember that disease is preventable and YOU have to work as a team with us!

9. Do you have a no waiting policy?
We schedule one patient/Guest at a time so our attention is always on you. We make 100% effort to see you at your scheduled time and not a minute later. That being said, there are however times we have to take care of emergencies and we hope that you understand as that may sometimes be you needing that same urgent care(we hope not!) We will make every effort to inform you of the approximate wait time(if any) and help accommodate your time.

10. Do you offer low cost New Patient Exams or consultations so patients can meet you first?
Absolutely, At the new patient/guest initial visit appointment we first listen to your main concerns and questions and in order to provide you with the type of care we would provide our own family. We will do a very thorough examination as well as take necessary x-rays. We will do a complete consultation with your whether you have any needs or not. Even if it takes multiple consultation visits! No expectations, we just want to make sure that you understand what is happening in your mouth and how we can help you!

We love to meet our new guests and patients and look forward to having you become a part of our family soon.

Naperville|Dentist|Answers to Top 10 Questions(#1 to #5) To Ask Your Naperville Dentis

Here is the promised post for the answers to the first 5 questions: Check out the video with the answers: Here we go:



1. What areas do you specialize in?
My team and I are trained to provide care in almost all phases in Dentistry including Preventive care for all ages, restorative(fillings and crowns, implant crowns and bridges), Cosmetics( Porcelain Veneers/crowns and Resin bondings), Periodontal disease ( or more commonly known as gum disease) treatments, Endodontic treatments (Root canal /nerve treatments), even some oral surgery. We are hoping to attend more new and exciting training in implant placement and Orthodontics in the future. Our pledge to you is that the best treatment you deserve is our ultimate goal.
2. Do you take digital x-rays (low dose radiation) and photos when needed?
Absolutely we do! It is imperative and necessary that we have all the information to aid in helping you, our guest and patient. Photos whether they are of the individual teeth or of the bite or just the face structure tell us much more and using them we can customize our proposed option to each individual. With digital x-rays we can lower the exposure in order of 60 to 90% than conventional film. I sometimes say that doing dentistry without x-rays in like being in a submarine without sonar! The benefits of lower exposure are very well documented.
3. Will you give me your recommendations in writing?
Once we have gathered all the necessary information and have had ample time to review them to come up with a plan, then we will give you:
• A detailed plan of action in writing clearly explaining YOUR needs.
• Complete Explanation to make sure that you have a full understanding about your options.
There are times when the level of care needed requires close communication and involvement of other Professionals working closely with us. But our pledge to you is: The best treatment you deserve is our ultimate goal.
4. Do you have criteria for determining how many visits I need?
Yes, we always formulate our plans in the following fashion:
A. Emergency needs always take precedence needing treatment NOW! (usually associated with pain, infection or broken teeth)
B. Urgent needs come second (they are usually teeth with problems that will arise very soon within weeks, gum disease falls in this category as well)
C. Elective/cosmetic treatment (once disease is under control and stabilized then any of our guests ask about their cosmetic and reconstructive options to feel and look their best)
D. The future possibilities (it is rare to see many dentists tell their patients about potential future problems but we do) despite our best efforts to see current problems there are circumstances that are beyond our control but based on our experience we caution our patients about potential future problems.
5. Will you show me ways of preventing what you are treating?
We always set aside ample time to do
• an extensive consultation/education session with you (if needed) to help guide and discuss
• Disease process
• Dietary considerations
• the latest preventive measures and treatments as well as
• home care so maintaining your smile and oral health will become easy.
After all, prevention is so much easier than fixing problem in a pinch!

Be Courageous, Ask for help!

Words, speech, just formulating a sentence is something that we all take for granted. But for many children, even adults this simple developmental landmark is a struggle. I have to say that hearing the sentence: “ I want milk” choked me up because it took my son a very, very long time to even say that. As a parent, one worries about many things in the future but the NOW is sometimes left in the dust. But deep down he or she knows if something is not quite right. Denial sets in sometimes, then guilt(“have I not done something right?”) Being a health care professional, I can spot a “dental” problem from a mile away but I felt helpless (AND CLUELESS) about my son and ultimately, the reality is that seeking help was necessary! That’s what I did, because what really mattered was helping him!

My son used to hear 3 different languages at home and an additional one at school. A bit confusing! He absorbed the languages and understood them but did not know how to verbalize—how to really communicate !! He was miserable (usually hunched in a corner away from the rest of the kids) when I would go to pick him up from school, sometimes did not even want to get up to go there. My wife and I spoke with a Pediatric speech language pathologist named Taso (short for Anastasios) who did a very lengthy and thorough assessment first, then came back for a second session and discussed what the problems were and finally proposed his plan and how to implement it. Together, we came to the conclusion that we had to do many sessions to help my son.

I admit, many people like to have a solution for their problem today delivered to them YESTERDAY!!! Believe me, I see it everyday in my praactice! But, sometimes, if you want it solved right, you need some time and thorough planning… so, that’s what we did……. We appreciated the TIME Taso took to explain things. Make a long story short , and after MANY necessary sessions, my son now can communicate with everyone, LOVES going to school, has a SMILE on his face ( I personally LOVE that!)

and I was told today that he lead the CIRCLE TIME while singing( he loves “Head, Shoulders, knees and Toes” song!) And it was all possible because as parents, my wife and I took ACTION, understood the PROBLEM and we got GREAT help and care along the way.

How does this relate to teeth, you may ask? Well very simple: Many times we may feel like there are somethings that are not quite right(chipped teeth, broken fillings, bleeding gums—once in a while) but no real problems (i.e. pain, swelling) but serious problems maybe lurking under the ”surface” in a manner of speaking. We may be in denial, but certainly later the reality will set in (i.e. broken tooth beyond repair, infection, swelling, severe pain) and then it may be too late to correct the problems. We need to be educated about these things (i.e. seek professional help) and at least know for SURE that they’re all right(have an assessment) and if there are any problems, however small, at least have a plan of ACTION. As a professional, I do what I say, Educate my patients( truly, my guests) first! The rest is self explanatory. Here are my gift to you for reading this blog entry: (click on the links 1 and 2)

1. The Dental Disease Report:Myths and truths about dental health finally explained!

2. Consumers' Guide to Quality Care: The 10 Questions You MUST Ask BEFORE Choosing A Dentist!

I hope that you are never faced with any major problems (dental or otherwise!) but at least remember that asking for help is never a sign of weakness! In fact, it is very courageous.

By the way, if you have anyone who is faced with any speech problems or any other related issues I highly recommend Taso. He treated my son, myself and my wife with utmost respect and made a LIFELONG difference in my son’s future!
