George Kostakis, DDS, PA is a specialty dental practice in Palm Harbor, Florida. Not only do we practice gentle dentistry, but we also offer multi-lingual service, with English, Spanish and Greek. We offer a wide variety of services, from cosmetic tooth whitening to porcelain fillings and perform root canals, crowns, extractions, dentures and bridges.
As dental experts, we plan any complex dental work in advance, anticipating possible bumps in the road so that your treatment progress is smooth. We use digital photos to communicate how you smile now, and how you wish to smile starting tomorrow. Finally, like a good builder, we make sure the foundation, your gums and supporting bone, is healthy and strong BEFORE we commit to making your teeth cosmetically beautiful.
Every year, our hygienists measure the gum pockets to make sure hidden gum problems dont endanger your teeth. We are your preventative watchdogs! My staff is skilled and determined to help you when you have chipped and dark teeth, sore gums or toothaches. We strive to help you sleep peacefully and comfortably each night too call us for information on sleep apnea. Our office is skilled in helping people who need a sleep aid other than CPAP.
I am motivated because of painful childhood experiences with a dentist who did not use novocain for fillings. Memories of that pain have driven me to provide comfortable care for my patients. I graduated from the University of North Carolina School of Dentistry in 1986. I began dentistry in Florida in 1987 and have been at my present location since 1993. I am happily married with three children, all boys. I get my thrill from making peoples smiles beautiful. I am committed to new advancements in dentistry that make my patients happier including cosmetic dentistry, digital photography and digital x-rays. My hobbies include accordion music, fishing, tennis, golf and traveling with my family.
