When my beloved dentist retired, I tried several different well-known dentists in the city but was turned off by, on the one hand, completely impersonal offices with lots of new techniques that did not always work as promised, and, on the other hand, smaller offices that pressured me to begin extensive and unnecessary treatments. I am so happy to have discovered Dr. Kavetsis and her staff. I have been a patient for a couple of years now, and I have received top-notch dental services for both regular maintenance and an emergency cracked tooth. Dr. Kavetsis treats my teeth like I imagine she would treat a family member's: she asks questions and makes small adjustments that keep my teeth in good shape, and she explains what I can do to protect the significant investments I've made in my teeth over the years. I trust her completely, and really appreciate her professional skills as well as her thoughtful approach to her work and my teeth. read more

I switched my entire family after 1 visit! My teeth are the cleanist they have ever felt after a dental appointment. They dont bill you as if they will never see you again. They are honest and do small amounts of dental based on neccesity. Heather Randall read more

I broke my permanent retainer and sent them an email asking if it could be fixed and that I wasn't interested in a consultation as I already knew the issue. Within a day they had gotten back to me and I had an appointment scheduled for the next day. Everyone in the practice was kind, friendly, and professional. Dr. Kavetsis and the hygienist (Sabrina - I think), worked quickly and thoroughly. I was out the door with a new retainer in only thirty minutes. It was the most pleasant experience I've ever had at a dentist. I can't imagine going anywhere else now. There was no up-selling or any pressure - everything was straightforward and completely tailored to what I needed/wanted. Thank you everyone at Affinity! read more

I followed Dr Kavetsis from her previous employment in Chicago. So glad she's back in "the city"-- I've consistently gone to her over the years because, well, she's not stuffy or intimidating in a way my previous dentist was. No one wants to worry about judgment when you're sitting in the chair! The new office itself is totally gorgeous, and she said she designed it herself. Totally impressed! read more

I've been going here for about 2 years after moving from out of state. I recently had my permanent retainer pop off and my front two teeth were starting to form a gap. I was worried that I'd have to find an Ortho company here in Chicago, transfer dental records etc. I've had dentist in the past tell me they cannot fix braces/retainers. Luckily I decided to call and ask Affinity if they had a recommendation. The receptionist was was super friendly and scheduled an appt for the next business day. I kid you not the Dr had me in and out in under 10 mins! No hassle and my gap is closed! Thank you again! They are also right off the brown line. read more

Dr. Kavetsis is great-but Connie at the front desk has quite possibly the worst attitude i've ever experienced with a receptionist. She is beyond stuck up & rude, & acts like she's doing you a favor by even responding to you. Considering switching dentists just based on her alone. Sorry Dr. Kavetsis! read more

Amazing experience from start to finish! The Hygienists and Doctors are very friendly, smart and caring. I always leave feeling well taken care of and informed on anything that I need. Keep up the great work guys!!! read more

From start to finish my visit to Affinity was fantastic. I made my appointment on line through zoc doc and was unsure how to complete the insurance portion, I called Affinity and the office was happy to help me select the appropriate option. When I arrived at the office, I used the convenient, free, indoor parking attached to the office (very grateful for this as it was a VERY cold snowy day). When checking in, I was welcomed by smiling faces and was swiftly escorted to the room. Upon sitting down, I was instructed that I was in a massage chair and could use the massage option if I chose, amazing! Dr. Kavetsis was incredibly sweet, caring and knowledgeable. She let me know exactly what she was doing and why she was doing it. She addressed all of my concerns and offered me cost effective options to resolve the issues that I had. I felt as if Dr. Kavetsis was treating me like a member of her family, it was really refreshing. In my 31 years I have never experienced 1- such a beautiful dental office 2 - massage chairs at the dental office and 3- such caring professionalism. If you're looking for a dentist in the Chicagoland area check out Affinity, you're doing yourself a disservice if you don't read more

I've been going to Affinity Dental for YEARS and I've never had a problem with anyone there. I know some people thought the previous receptionist was rude but she was tolerable. However, their new receptionist ASHLEY is completely RUDE. Rude is an understatement. She talked over me, didn't let me ask any questions and basically scolded me for not letting her know my insurance switched over. Even my insurance agent told me that Ashley was rude, unhappy and just plain mean when the insurance agent called over there. I never write reviews but I felt like this needed to be put out there. I truly hope they fire her because she clearly does't fit the atmosphere there. She is definitely not like the rest of the staff over there. I'm going to have to speak to my dentist about her and let my dentist know how ASHLEY is treating the customers. read more

My chompers have never felt so good! Dr. Kavetsis and her team are true dental professionals. I recently moved to a new neighborhood and got a new job and unfortunately have been neglecting my teeth for a few years. I had one cracked molar and a cracked filling that needed repair, along with a standard teeth cleaning. Needless to say some serious work was needed. Dr. Kavetsis went to work, quickly diagnosed the problems and with almost no pain and some seriously cool dental technology was able to put together 2 perfectly fitted fillings that fixed my issues. I never realized how much mouth pain I had until it ultimately disappeared thanks to her and her team's professionalism and attention to detail. Affinity dental has a new customer for life and I would highly encourage anyone looking for a new dentist to drop in for a visit. read more

HUGE fan of this group / practice. I've been going for a year and a half now, and it's always a great experience. The hygenists are always great, personable, and very thorough. The dentists call out any issues, take the time to answer questions, and offer solutions. They're always up front about next steps and what needs to be done, and are always clear about pricing and what's covered by insurance. Strongly recommend the entire team. read more

Excellent experience! I had the best dental cleaning here. That sounds like nothing to get excited about but after my appointment at Affinity Dental I realized that my past dentists haven't been that great. The hygenist was very understanding and patient regarding my sensitivity; and Dr. Kavetsis is wonderful. Everyone is very friendly, accommodating and thorough. They make great recommendations and my visit felt personalized. The office environment is beautiful and there is free garage parking! Very easy to make appointments as well. read more

Am never excited to go to the dentist but have to say that this dentist is extremely nice,professional and friendly.her staff are great too and I would definitely recommend this practice to anyone,especially people who like me,tend to procrastinate .they cover all the basics on your first visit but do it in a non judgemental and approachable way!will most definitely be returning and hope to be a client of hers for the foreseeable future read more

It had been over 3 years since I had a professional teeth cleaning. Not only did they do a great job, but I didn't leave with pain which would be expected after that long of a hiatus. All of the staff were friendly and very professional. They made a point to explain everything they were doing or about to do in case you have questions. I already made a 6 month appointment. read more

Dr. Lana Fourdyce Kavetsis, DDS is as professional as she is friendly. The offices are very modern and welcoming. As a new patient, I was impressed with the state of the are technology which allowed me to see for myself what my teeth looked like and what the DDS was explaining. The hygienist, Arta, was efficient and made my teeth shine. The Northcenter neighborhood is lucky to have such a great business here. read more

I love Dr. Kavetsis! Most dentists let the hygienist do everything, then come in and stick their fingers in your mouth for a few minutes and peace out. Dr. Kavetsis does the cleaning herself, and is so super nice. More importantly, she knows what she's doing. She's quick but thorough, and you will never wait. For my last cleaning I was in and out in 30 minutes. AND you can book appts. with her on ZocDoc which is awesome. Definitely go here, you'll be a repeat client! read more

I don't even know where to begin with writing this review. This is a stellar, beautiful dental office with an amazing staff. And omg, Dr. Lana Kavetsis... she's seriously the BEST! It doesn't get better than this, and I know I have now found my dentist! She is so down to earth and friendly, super cool and kind... it feels like you're talking to a friend when you go to her. :) The front desk receptionist is also very nice and SUPER helpful (she even called a cab for me when I had to get rushed for an endodontic emergency!) All in all, every single person working here is wonderful and I can't thank them enough for all of their care. I will always go here from now on!! read more

Thank you. I really appreciate Dr. Kavetsis & the staff at Affinity Dental. They are courteous, the office is clean.

I love this office! I have a permanent bottom retainer. I've had it for about 20+ years and have, surprisingly, never had it break off/come loose in all those years. However, the Sunday after Christmas, I tried eating an old hard Kind bar I bought from Walgreens five days prior. Much to my dismay, it was hard as a rock and alas, my bottom retainer snapped off. Luckily, I was able to find and save it, but I'm not from Chicago. I didn't have my orthodontic work done in Chicago. My ortho back home no longer practices. Gaaaah...so what to do? I knew it wouldn't take long before my teeth started to move so on Monday I got on the internet and started Googling orthodontists. I called a number of places who had rude, unhelpful, unintelligent (FYI - you don't need an impression for a permanent bottom retainer) people answering their phones (Get It Straight, Windy City Orthodontists and Dr. Spector, I'm looking at you!). My fourth call was to Affinity Dental and the person I talked to there was incredibly nice and very helpful. It sounded like she actually cared about my problem (even if she didn't)! I was hoping to get an appointment for that week, but it was during the holidays (New Year's week) so it wasn't possible, but they did get me in the following Monday morning (today). I was just there and they were great. I was in and out in about 30-40 minutes and they saved me from jacked up teeth! Everyone was awesome - the doctor, the front desk staff, the assistant. I'm really hopeful I don't need another ortho appointment for another 20 years, but I know where I'll be going when I do! read more

I cannot say enough about the quality of service I received from everyone at Affinity Dental. Let me preface by saying I had been with my old dentist for over 7 years and check up after check up I was always just wondered why I was paying such a high premium for such an average dentist. I came to Dr Kavetsis with a major dental emergency on my hands. She handled my situation in the most efficient way possible and was even able to reccomend the most cost efficient way to handle the situation. You can tell that Dr Kavetsis really cares about her patients and not about her total billings for each visit. Bonus: her office is gorgeous and she offers gas to her patients whop are nervous about being in the dentist office! read more

I hadn't been to the dentist in over 2 years when I visited Dr. Kavetsis. Eventhough I had 6 cavities I still had a great experience there. She explained everything she was doing before she did it and made the whole thing very understandable. She was super helpful when I had insurance questions and pricing concerns and was very understanding and explained everything to me. The place is great, super zen and spa-like with high tech equipment. Everyone there was friendly and helpful. I'll definitely be back. read more

Woohoo! Thanks yelpers for reviewing Affinity Dental. Because of you I found Dr. Kavetsis and her great team! After multiple oral surgeries, years of braces, and having impacted wisdom teeth removed, the last thing I want to do is go to the dentist, but my check-up and cleaning at Affinity was unlike any other I've ever had. I was treated to friendly staff, a massaging chair! and a gentle cleaning from Dr. Kavetsis. Dr. Kavetsis took her time, explained everything to me, and really made me feel at ease. I've had terrible dentist visits in the past complete with condescending doctors, rushed visits, and sore, bleeding gums. Dr. Kavetsis made me feel respected and appreciated as a patient. I highly recommend Affinity Dental. read more

They are very flexible with rescheduling appointments. They also do a great job with answering any billing related questions. Staff is great, their facilities are nice and they have free parking! read more

Made the switch to Affinity Dental at the start of the year when I moved to Chicago and I've had nothing but great experiences each visit. They do a quality job and the front desk is very welcoming. I would recommend. read more

I really appreciate Dr Kavetsis & the staff at Afinity Dental. They are courteous, the office is clean, modern, state of the art equipment and just an overall great vibe. Dr K is professional & is very personable in her interaction with her clients. The reason I'm really writing this review is because on a Sunday I had a crown come off. The office is closed on Sundays but I called Monday morning & by Tuesday afternoon, despite being booked until the following week, I had my crown replaced & I was good to go again. Incredible service! Highly recommend if you live in the area, or even if you don't. read more

Stephanie was very thorough, but at the same time made the dental cleaning as comfortable as one can be. She also made some practical suggestions to help improve our family's general dental health. I was looking for a new dentist in my area and tried a few over the last two years. Affinity Dental is my new dental practice! read more

I've been going to proactive for about a year. I'm a very nervous patient and they have been nothing but kind and understanding. The work I needed was explained and a plan was put in place. The staff is friendly and Dr K has been awesome! read more

My husband and I have been coming here for the last two years. The service today was absolutely horrendous. I always ask to be give an estimate before anything is done so as to avoid surprise bills. I went in today for a couple of fillings after being told it was covered by my insurance and at the end of my appointment I was told my balance was $680! The 2 receptionists were extremely rude and condescending after my shock and making them aware that this cannot be correct because the person that I'd spoken to before clearly said it was covered at 80%. I have never been treated so rudely at a doctors office in my life! I also had to sit waiting for 30 minutes while the dentist went to take care of someone else even though I was already under anesthesia and he had been working on my teeth for approximately an hour and a half. How does a dentist appointment last almost 3 hours?! How?! Dr. K please educate your receptionist in better customer service and provide every customer with an estimate prior to any procedure. As much as I like Dr. K, my husband and I will not be returning to this office. read more

I haven't been to the dentist in a long time! When I walked in they made me feel right at home. The hygienist named Natalie was awesome!! Super funny and made me feel like we were friends for years the staff is great. Super customer service and they really care about your teeth. The main Dentist filled a couple of cavities and did a great job as well. But really if you are looking for a dental practice, try this place out. You won't be disappointed! I wish I could give this place 100 stars..... read more

Every time I head to the dentist, I get really nervous but this office makes you feel at ease. Becky the dental hygienist is so gentle and so kind. She takes her time and makes sure that you are comfortable. You can really tell that she loves her work and is very passionate. Dr. Kavetsis came in after the cleaning, she was super nice and thorough. I've been to many dentist who don't really dive in but she was the opposite. She was very knowledgeable and you can tell she wants to help you. Overall, 5 stars! read more

I really enjoyed my visit at Dr Kavetsis's office. I went there for a bi-annual dental exam and I was afraid I had a cavity because one of my teeth was very sensitive. Dr Kavetsis and her assistant greeted me and really took the time to get to know me and my dental history. Then Dr Kavetsis explained each step of the procedure which I appreciated. It turned out I didn't have a cavity but Dr Kavetsis gave me useful advice as to how to reduce my teeth's sensitivity. She booked my next semi-annual appointment while I was in her office to make sure I get the day and time that worked best for me. I left feeling healthy and more knowledgeable! read more

I visited Affinity Dental for the first time yesterday. It was a really pleasant experience...the best I've had at the dentist. The space is beautiful and clean. I was helped promptly at my appointment time. The staff is professional and nice! Dr. Kavetsis was very thorough and knowledgeable as well as friendly. She explained everything to me, and it did not feel rushed like many other dentists' offices. It is also very convenient to get to since they have free indoor parking. All in all, a great experience! Would highly recommend! read more

I had my first experience at Affinity Dental today. From the second I walked into this cozy and beautiful office to the second I left, I definitely felt at ease and comfortable. The front desk greeted me with a welcoming smile and we had such a nice conversation. My hygienist, Becky was extremely thorough during my cleaning. My teeth had never felt so clean and cared for. Dr. Kavetis was super easy to talk to and was open to answering any questions I had. Every staff member smiled and was so kind to me while I was there. Affinity Dental is a gorgeous and very clean office and I can't wait to go back for my next visit. read more

I went to Affinity Dental for a second opinion on an exam performed by pediatric dentist on my 5 year old son which uncovered 4 cavities. Based on how Dr. Kavetsis was able to get my son to calmly cooperate during her examination and how she explained the issues and treatment process to me in thorough detail, I decided to have her perform the necessary work. After the successful treatment of the 5 year old, I brought the 3 year old in for a cleaning. I was amazed at how he cooperated and how calm he was through the procedure. Still am. It was clear that my kids' comfort and health were her primary concern. From the chocolate flavored toothpaste to the berry smelling laughing gas, Affinity Dental did everything right in my book in their treatment of my boys' dental needs. Parents can take comfort in knowing their kids are in good hands here. read more

My wife found our new dentist and I couldn't be happier. My old dentist was good but outdated. I still needed extensive work done and Dr. Kavetsis has done it all and eve fixed a coupe of things that needed fixing. I was very pleased with the level of service and blown away with the technology they used. In my experience, they run on time and have always been courteous. I've recommended her to several friends. read more

I recently switched dentists and I am glad that I did. From the moment I walked in, I received 5 star treatment. I was taken on time and all of my options were discussed thoroughly with me. Dr. Kavetsis was personable, professional and punctual with my appointment. They also have free parking! I will definitely return! read more

My first visit at Affinity dental was outstanding. From the second I walked in and was greeted and offered some coffee to the second I left, I felt very comfortable as if I was a long time customer. I didn't have much done but they took X-rays and I had a deep cleaning but was extremely happy with the results of my cleaning. Over all my visit was fast, friendly, informative and just above expectations. Will definitely come back and refer my friends and family! Thanks guys for your hard work. read more

Emergency visit , cracked throbbing tooth that had abscessed . Got in right away -- long story short , root cracked so tooth had to be pulled --- Dr Kavetsis was so gentle in a complicated extraction. I'm very grateful . The office has cutting edge equipment and was able to replace an old crown with a cantilevered second crown over hole left from pulled tooth . They have a CERAC machine that makes perfectly fitting crowns while you wait. So pleased with the results. After Im totally healed , I will be going back to have a tooth implant with Dr Kavetsis . So impressed with her knowledge and expertise . staff are amazing and helped ease my nerves . Highly recommend DR KAVETSIS -- Love my new crown read more

Dr. Kavetsis is a top-notch dentist with an absolutely gorgeous office. My prior practitioner's office was dingy, dull and dated. Affinity Dental looks like a high end spa, and Dr. Kavetsis and her staff really go above and beyond to make your experience feel like anything other than a trip to the dentist. read more

What a great find,a perfect dentist experience . I had been lost in time with a previous dentist who's office and exam rooms and treatment were possibly from the early 60's. His retirement after we saw him for over 30 years forced my wife and I, both of us in our mid to late 50's to find a new dentist, talk about mid life crisis. Yeah that's right I hope to live til I'm 100. After calling around and looking at other dentist in our neighborhood it was difficult to make a decision on who to actually make an appointment with until I walked in and met this office of true professionals in this field. The receptionist stopped what she was working on and gave me full attention answered all my question's and then Dr. Kavetsis came over and introduced herself and welcomed me as a new patient . The appointment was made on the spot for a cleaning and exam. as my wife and had not seen a dentist in the last year. Just finished my second visit and even more amazed at this super clean and professional office staffed with true professionals who make you feel very comfortable and at ease . And Dr.Kavetsis not only talks the talk but she walks the walk . Extremely experienced and precise with her work. I'm self employed and fully understand something that has been lost in our world for a long time,we call it CUSTOMER SERVICE. If you need a dentist and you don't try this one you're missing out on a great find. Philip G. read more
