I'm sharing this review as a mother who invested thousands of dollars trying to ensure her daughter…read morereceived quality cosmetic dental care--only to be deeply disappointed by the outcome and then contacted by an attorney after voicing our experience. I'm writing this with caution and sincerity, as I believe consumers have the right to honest feedback and transparency, especially when it involves health care. My personal experience with Dr. Kakos and her team was frustrating and disheartening. After my daughter received dental implants, we trusted this office to handle the cosmetic restoration. What followed were multiple appointments filled with color mismatches, design issues, and blame placed on everything except the care provided--from my daughter's gum and tooth structure to previous orthodontic work, and even the implant surgeon's technique. None of these explanations changed the fact that the results simply did not look right. Despite staff repeatedly saying the teeth looked "beautiful," my daughter was left with gray-toned, short crowns that appeared unnatural. The only solutions offered were invasive and unnecessary, in my opinion, such as gum surgery or shaving down healthy teeth to compensate. This left us feeling stuck, pressured, and ultimately misled. Thankfully, we found another provider, Dr. Danyal at Berkley Dental, who corrected the work in under two hours. The difference was immediate and validating. It's important to note that after initially posting my experience, I was contacted by legal counsel representing Dr. Kakos. I was disheartened--but not surprised--that a professional response came in the form of legal threats rather than genuine concern for patient satisfaction. I believe in patients' rights to speak about their care without being silenced or intimidated. So here I am again, stating clearly and respectfully: based on my experience, I would not recommend this practice for advanced or cosmetic procedures. If you're considering more than a routine cleaning, I strongly suggest seeking a second opinion. This review reflects my own experience and opinion and is protected under federal and state consumer rights laws, including the First Amendment and the Consumer Review Fairness Act. I share it not with malice, but with a hope to inform and protect others.

I absolutely love the crew at North Oaks Dental! From the moment I first walked in they treated me…read morelike a person and not just another number. My first time there was just to shop around; find a local dentist that took my insurance, ask a few questions, and move on to the next. But my plan was changed the second I opened the door and was met by Tiffany's warm and welcoming smile at the counter. Her friendly vibe was so disarming that my 'business-only' attitude melted away, and before I knew it, I was officially a patient. My wife found it funny. My first consultation with the amazing Dr. Joseph Shimoun was... memorable. I boldly (and perhaps a bit stupidly) asked him to just pull all my teeth and set me up with some dentures. Instead of laughing at my ignorance, he listened to me with genuine concern as he wanted to understand where I was comming from with such a request. With the calm demeanor, he gently explained that I might not fully grasp what I was asking for and then showed me that he could give me back my own smile. He promised he could create a treatment plan with options, and he delivered. After some scans, some surprisingly fun chats, and some great tunes, we sat down again. He laid out a complete roadmap to fix my teeth, explaining every detail. Better yet, he assured me he'd personally work with my insurance to get it all covered. I didn't know how to refuse and went with his plan happily. What followed were many, many appointments - some stretching over three hours! Through it all, Dr. Shimoun's focus and patience never wavered. The man is a dental artist. My mouth, once a broken-down mess that made me forget how to smile naturally, is now filled with a full set of beautifully repaired teeth. No more cracks, no more holes! Dr. Shimoun's incredible dedication, Lexi's expert and gentle care, and Tiffany's ever-present kindness have left the greatest impression on me. Though I didn't meet a single staff member I didn't like, those three are the ones that really stuck with me. Thanks to them, I'm no longer afraid to smile while driving my school bus. The amazing care didn't stop with me. My wife is now a patient, and when I brought my kids in, the team showed their true colors. Instead of just trying to make a dime, they recommended a fantastic pediatric dental specialist that was perfect for my children, in our network, and close to home. They genuinely put my kids' best interests first. If your ever in need of a dentist or just looking around I urge you to give these folks a try, you wont be disappointed. The folks at North Oaks Dental do more than just practice dentistry; they practice kindness, and in doing so, they don't just fix smiles, they create them.

I have severe anxiety when it comes to the dentist due to childhood trauma from my childhood…read moredentist. I hadn't seen a dentist in over 12 years because my anxiety was so crippling. I even have a hard time taking my four children to their appointments, usually their father or my mom takes them for me. After breaking two teeth while eating pumpkin seeds last Friday, I knew I had to face my fears and go in. I made an appointment with Dr. Shimoun that same day and was able to get in the following Tuesday. Every single person in his office was amazing!! So kind, patient, and understanding. I didn't feel judged at all, which was honestly my biggest fear going in. Dr. Shimoun is truly incredible. He has such a kind, gentle demeanor and took the time to sit with me, explain everything that was going on, and make sure I felt comfortable every step of the way. He was also willing to work with me financially since I don't have dental insurance and can't afford all the out-of-pocket costs right now. Nichole, the office manager, checked on me several times during my visit and really took the time to get to know me and understand my fear of the dentist. Erin, who scheduled my appointment, was so kind and calming over the phone, and she even checked on me again at the end of my visit. It truly is the little things that make such a big difference. Thanks to Dr. Shimoun and his wonderful team, my fear of the dentist is almost completely gone. My four children and I will continue seeing Dr. Shimoun from now on. I'm so thankful I pushed through my fears and found this office, they truly changed the way I feel about going to the dentist!

They were not my dentures. but I continued to go for adjustments for 6 months. finally I Said enough I want these redone. The small dentures belonging to someone else had shredded my mouth. 7 months of eating mushy food. The style I spoke with him about, was ignored, he couldn't admit that he made a mistakes so I had to go every week sometimes more than once. He has no clue, he does it listen, You Wait in the chair, while you can hear him chit chat with the assistants and other people waiting. he doesnt listen, he just does what he wants. I'll never go again, and no one else should- I hope by reviewing other people will feel more comfortable Sending their reviews.
