This dentist said I had three cavities and I needed to make an appointment for fillings. I switched dentists last month and the new dentist said I have no cavities. They also take extra x-rays and charge for it outside of insurance. read more

Dr. Dino Mantis is one of the top dentists in Chicago. He really is the best. He explained everything in detail and educated me on my dental health. He is extremely experienced in dentistry and cares about his patients. If you're nervous about seeing a dentist then you should come here. Dr. Dino and hygienist Kristi will make you feel so comfortable. Also, I can't forget Deb & Traci at the front desk. They are the sweetest ladies and always make you feel like family. I'm so glad I found this place. read more

Met with Dr. Mantis today (09/08/21) @ 11AM for a free consultation specifically scheduled to hear his advice. No consultation, only request to do XR for $100 and a statement that without XR any consultation is illegal. Wasting of time. read more

I've been blessed with good teeth all my life. In fact, I had no cavities until this year during my annual dental checkup. My bitewing x-rays showed that the decay in one of my molars was nearly hitting the nerve, which could potentially require a root canal. Sensing that this was urgent, I wanted to get this fixed ASAP with my previous dentist, but to my dismay, my second appointment was scheduled a month after my diagnosis! Even more ridiculous was that the treatment plan would cost ~$700 even with copay! Clearly, my dentist only cared for the $, not the patient, like many dentists in the business are these days. Since moving to Evanston 1.5 years ago, I've had the unfortunate luck of finding unreliable and uncaring dentists. This was one of them. Unsatisfied, I sought out other dentists in the North Shore area and found Dr. Mantis. I brought in my previous x-rays to show him, and he even double-checked by taking another bitewing x-ray on my cavity; this second review consultation was completely free! Knowing that my dental condition was urgent, he immediately scheduled me in 2 days after the consultation session for a cavity filling session. He was even willing to postpone the appointments of other patients to accommodate me! I'm proud to say that I had the first cavity filled in my life relatively painlessly by Dr. Mantis. He was careful, skilled, and thoroughly explained to me what he was doing step-by-step. The other perk was his treatment plan was 1/2 the price of my previous plan; he only does what he needs to do to fix the problem. Nothing more, nothing less. His staff members are no different. They are genuinely caring and treat you like family. Beth, his secretary, is a darling! Two days after my appointment, Beth and Dr. Mantis personally wrote a letter to me asking about my well-being and welcoming me to their dental family. I was sold. I'd highly recommend Dr. Mantis to any one who is looking for high quality, friendly, and professional dental service in the N. Shore area. You won't regret it. read more

I wanted a quote on Invisalign and a mouthguard because I had a minor shift after having corrective braces and suffer from grinding and jaw pain. I found this practice on Google. It was the very first ad that appeared on Google, in fact. I used their online chat and then called them to make a consultation appointment. I was told it would be free, and the receptionist was very kind over the phone. When I got to the office, I was greeted warmly by the receptionist and complimented. Then Dr. Mantis escorted me into his office for our consultation. He did quell some of my anxieties, by telling me that most people's teeth wear down from chewing and everyday use- and that my teeth were not worn down severely. He then began showing me an assortment of photos on his desktop computer of people's gums, both healthy and then receding, and one of the pictures demonstrably showed how gums bleed when they are not flossed properly. Then he transitioned onto pictures of rotting teeth that were blackening, and teeth that looked fine on the outside, and then in the following pictures, were drilled into- and from a bird's eye view, were demolished and the inside remnants looked like they were shredded. The point of this demonstration was to utilize fear sales tactics of developing bad teeth from bacteria. He put a lot of emphasis on the fact that all these horrific photos stemmed from abundant amounts of bacterial pathogens that wrecked these people's mouths, acting as silent killers, destroying teeth from an internal, invisible point. Dr. Mantis showed me the bacterial test he has all of his patients take. It's a salivary sample that gets sent to a lab where saliva is analyzed and interpreted. He showed me photos of a patient's before and after comparison in the form of test results. The first photo had a long list of bacterial pathogens I could not pronounce, nor could I distinguish the difference between each listed pathogen. The second photo had a significantly diminished list of bacterial pathogens present in the patient's mouth. The dentist attributed these great results to his bacterial-fighting line of products. I asked several times where the bacterial pathogens came from, and if they were genetically related or caused by lifestyle habits. He was vague and did not answer my question directly. He continued to stress the danger of unforeseen bacteria not visible to the naked eye, and that he had been in arguments with other dental professionals regarding the legitimacy of bacterial pathogens. He asked me where I thought cavities came from. I told him I was under the impression that cavities come from eating sweets and sticky foods. He told me I was wrong, that the problem came down to bacteria, and bacteria only. At this point, I was skeptical. Dr. Mantis told me he was ready to continue my consultation. He escorted me to the front desk, where the receptionist told me I would need to pay $228 to get x-rays and a further examination. I told her I couldn't afford that. She then revised the price, because she realized I had already presented them with my x-rays. The price was reduced to $60. I said yes, even though my gut was telling me not to. I sat in the examination chair and one of the dentist's assistants swabbed my gums, getting a read on my acidic levels. Dr. Mantis then came up to me and checked my gums and the tops of my teeth with a metal tool to check for overall health, I assume. I then had a metal device placed over my mouth. When Dr. Mantis pulled it away from me, it displayed four numbers in red, which was numerically well over 9000. He told me this was alarming, and that it meant my bacterial levels were alarmingly high and that a person with good oral health would have a number around 1500. At this point, I felt like I was in a Scientology center getting measured with an E-Meter. I was not told what units these numbers were measured in. I then had over a dozen pictures taken of my teeth from all different angles while my lips were pried open with metal forceps. Afterwards, I was told that my results would need to be reviewed and that I would get my answers the following day. I made another appointment. I felt foolish for going against my intuition and paying for services that did not address the issues I was concerned about. I am not going back for another appointment to be told I need to pay hundreds more for holistic mouthwashes, x-rays, consultations, and treatments. The point in which I became doubtful was during the examination. I asked him several times where the bacteria comes from. He said there would never be any way to tell where oral bacterial pathogens come from, that I could have gotten them from my boyfriend (I'm single) and that I would need to come back for a full scale review (and pay a lot more money through high pressure sales). After back and forth emails, which included the promotion of their oral care line, I have decided not to proceed with any further appointments. read more

Dr. Mantis is the most knowledgeable and well-versed dentist in the North Shore! On day 1, he made it an essential point to educate me thoroughly, from the basics to the technology he would be using and why. I love having a dentist who gives me the tools to be proactive on my own, as well as giving me the latest and best techniques for care in his clinic. Dr. Mantis also has the best team I have ever met. They are all kind, caring and extremely efficient! Dr. Mantis has me on a plan to eliminate the mercury fillings I previously had done, completely restructure my veneers from high school, and facilitating 2 implants. I am almost half way through this journey and could not be more pleased. Dr. Mantis has also placed personal calls or emails to me after each visit to check on my progress and follow-up with me, which I greatly appreciate. The personal touch is very rare and appreciated! I have already recommended Dr. Mantis to several of my patients, friends and family. I am extremely grateful for meeting him and his team! read more

I couldn't be more thankful for this guy!! My amazingly gentle, brilliant, and kind new dentist!!! Dino Mantis. I am crazy freaking paranoid of dentistry and that damn drill..... ( I would rather sit in a barrel of hairy spiders...not exaggerating!!). ......after YEARS of going to a dentist that maintained status quo and overlooked warning signs, I LOST a tooth and so did my son. Lucky for him another one will take its place..... not so much for me! Dino calmly walked me through the process, tackled the problems and has given me my smile back!!! My kids LOVE him and he had gotten us back on track to prevent decay and remain healthy!! Thanks D!! You are the best of the best of the best! If you need a dentist..... he's the guy . read more

Dr. Mantis and his team are leaders in the field of dentistry! Let me start by saying Dino Mantis DDS is a front-runner in technology, innovation and individualized patient care plans. I started going to Dr. Mantis over 15 years ago with early to moderate stages of periodontal disease. And now, I have the prettiest smile that I've ever had and more importantly, my gum disease is significantly reduced and barely detectable. Dr. Mantis and his phenomenal team, especially his wife, Tina, and assistant, Tracy, go over and beyond in delivery of my care and/or personal needs. I travel 60 miles round trip to the dentist because I know I'm getting the best care with the best people. It's like visiting family and getting a check-up, a win-win! read more
