“I am so happy that I found this practice. From the moment you walk in, you can tell from the rapport between the staff that this practice is something special. I’m coming in for some pretty extensive dental remediation and my diagnostic experience was great - the doctor and staff took great care to evaluate everything that was going on and come up with a realistic treatment plan to address the most critical areas first. Most of all, I didn’t feel judged by the doctor or staff and felt very comfortable talking about my dental issues and potential underlying causes. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming! Great experience!”

“I have a follow up appointment at the end of July. If I was not confident with the dentist I would not have booked another appointment.”

About Dr. John Ifantis
If you have a dental emergency, please CALL THE OFFICE for help.
Please note, we do not take Medicaid/Aetna BetterHealth/BCBS Community Health Plan
At Ifantis Dental Care, we know the dental office is not your favorite place, but we strive to create a relaxing environment and treat you the way you want to be treated. Our goal is to build long-term relationships through comfort, compassion, trust, transparency, education, and high-quality dentistry.
Dr. Ifantis knew from a young age he wanted to be a dentist, and his passion shows. He earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Marquette University and regularly attends continuing education courses to stay at the forefront of new techniques and technology. This enables him to offer the best treatment options and outcomes. He has extensive training in implantology, orthodontics, endodontics, restoration, and laser use. Services include All-on-Four dental implants, veneers, same-visit CEREC crowns, SureSmile clear aligners, microsurgeries with a Biolase laser, root canal therapy, and more.
Please read the disclaimer about new patient appointments, insurance, and payment options:
A new patient comprehensive exam and consultation typically takes 60 to 90 minutes. We perform assessments including a 3D Cone Beam CT scan or necessary X-rays, photos, caries detection, and periodontal measurements to determine the best treatment and cleaning type. Sometimes treatment begins the same day; however, additional visits may be required. Professional cleaning by a hygienist is usually a separate appointment.
Dr. Ifantis accepts all PPO plans and Aetna DMO. No insurance? No worries-we discuss financial options and accept cash, checks, and major credit cards. We also offer low-interest and interest-free financing through CareCredit.
We reserve the right to modify or cancel your appointment, with notifications sent via text, email, or phone.

Nice staff
September 3, 2025Brenda T.Verified patient
They are looking to run up the bill on you. While my initial cleanings were well done, I was sold fillings for several micro cavities that I don’t believe were necessary. One of these micro cavities was grinded out and left without a filler leaving my tooth sensitive. Keep in mind I had zero sensitivity in my teeth before my fillings. Will have to live with that until next year since they maxed out my insurance limit for the year.

July 10, 2025Iris L.Verified patient
They refused to do cleaning same day because I didn’t want 3D X-rays even though I specified I wanted regular cleaning and regular X-rays. Wasted my time! Why can’t they do X-rays and cleaning the same day! Bizarre!
May 30, 2025Nazia R.Verified patient
Dr John guided me to the right direction and also referral me to another to an oral surgeon.
I had anxiety as walking in i don’t well with dentists especially it was my first here. The Staff were nice and friendly and also helpful.
Dr John is a Great listener and helpful.
If it’s your first time here I would advise not to bring any jewelry if they recommend an X-Ray of your teeth.

Ive been going to Dr.Ifantis for at least 10 years and every time I've gone they always take care of me. I'm not a fan of going to dentist like most people but I've always felt safe whenever I go. Highly recommend!

Dr.John is the BEST & most awesome dentist that I've ever met. Extremely intelligent, intuitive and unparalleled mannerism, skill & passion, the latest of equipment and an "A" team of staff that will make your visit feel very comfortable. All of that working in "concert" to do the best of the best. This office is worth every of the 5 stars, and then some.
