While all of our doctors perform all phases of dentistry, each one has created their own unique niche within the practice. Excellence in dentistry begins with a careful co-diagnosis and treatment plan to establish the goals we will achieve together. Communication and long-term relationships are important to us. Let us know what is on your mind and ask questions. We will help you realize an investment in yourself pays dividends for a lifetime. We are caring, skilled professionals, dedicated to simplifying what is often a very complicated and confusing area of health care. We want all our patients to be informed and knowledgeable about their dental health care, from treatment plans and services, to insurance coverage.

Dr. Antonakos has been practicing dentistry since 1984. His career has been enhanced by his memberships in numerous professional organizations and his induction into the Whos Who Among Executives and Professionals.
Staying at the forefront of his field has always been a high priority for Dr. Antonakos as has his commitment to excellence in dentistry. Throughout his over 32 years of practice, he has participated and completed courses, seminars, and hands-on workshops on topics which include straight wire orthodontics, crown and bridge techniques, periodontics, implants, cosmetic and rehabilitative dentistry, TMJ, and snoring/sleep apnea.

His unique well rounded knowledge and abilities qualify him to handle the most difficult of patient situations in a methodical, knowledgeable, yet compassionate way. He knows, understands, and firmly believes that a comfortable and attractive solution can be long-term only when the alignment of a patients bite is fully examined and repaired. Its not enough to have teeth that look straight and attractive. The foundation has to be solid as well. He understands and has the expanded knowledge on how the teeth must come together in a healthy and supportive way so that the patient doesnt end up with jaw pain or worse TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) disorder -a condition that can be very painful.

In his free time, he enjoys gardening, working with his hands, and helping people, as is evident by his participation in various philanthropic groups. He is also a member of the Mens Club at his church.

We are pleased with all aspects our visit, starting with our phone contact, for our first visit. Everyone was most helpful and accommodating and the waiting area is very comfortable. Our visit with Dr. A. Koulis was terrific. She immediately put us at ease and patiently explained every detail involved in the treatment needed. We are looking forward to our further treatment with confidence in her ability. All in all a positive experience. Thank you.

Dr. Koulis!!!! She has changed my life!!! Five stars just isn't enough.... I went through horrible experiences with former dentists and I was working hard for a perfect smile-I had a lot of issues from cavities to needing veneers. And, from previous dentist,I was told that I was going to need orthodontic treatment (again!). Dr. Koulis was amazing with getting my mouth taken care of quickly with the cavities and took special care with the veneers! You wouldn't even know I am wearing veneers and she has changed my life. And with how she was able to space the veneers out, I don't even need now that orthodontic treatment for the second time. I cried happy tears!!! She always works well with you when you are on the chair to make sure you are good and not in pain, etc....she cares and that's everything. And this place has an awesome, friendly staff whom can work with you on anything (finances etc). Thank you Dr Koulis!!

Very professional. I went there after several sub par experiences with my dentist of 30 years. Dr. Roakas picked right up, checked me out, Andy straightened out some things.

I had a fantastic experience with Glenview Dental Associates. I had a really thorough cleaning (they were able to get all of the coffee stains off of my teeth!), and though I needed some fillings, they were able to calm nerves and make that experience as pleasant as possible. Additionally, they were able to see me the next day after learning that I needed fillings so I was able to get all of my dental work done in a span of two days, rather than needing to wait weeks. I'd highly recommend them for anyone who generally has anxiety around the dental process. They were thorough, gentle and calming. Thank you!

Without a doubt the most patient, thorough and receptive dental professionals our family has seen. I'm a teacher at GBS and have been beyond impressed with the quality of dental and orthodontic work I've received there for more than ten years. We live in the city so initially found it easier to take our children to a practice near our home. Not anymore though, we've recently started driving the whole family up to see Dr. Koulis and her team because the quality of their work and the care they give our children. Walking into their office is like walking into home. I highly recommend others to check it out!

I called to ask if they accepted my insurance (Cigna), they said they did, but did not ask if it was a PPO or HMO. When I arrived for my appointment I showed them my insurance card (which says DHMO on it) and went back for my appointment. I was there for 20 minutes (of my 1.5 hour scheduled appointment) before someone came back and informed me they actually do not accept my insurance. I was confused because my insurance card clearly said DHMO on it, which they knew they did not accept, and they still let me proceed with my appointment. The dentist (Dr. Roukas) was very nice and polite and said they would attempt to bill my insurance first and if they denied the claim then they would send me a bill. I later received a bill for $111 which I was very confused about because how could a 20 minute visit (which was cut very short) equate to a $111 charge? I thought they might have billed me for the entire length of the appointment because I did not expect a routine checkup to cost that much. I received a call from Effie last week telling me I had not paid the bill yet, I told her I was actually glad she called because I had questions about it. I asked how that charge equates to a 20 minute visit and she became very rude and hostile towards me. She kept speaking over me and not letting me finish my questions. She stated that I needed to pay my bill today or she would send me to collections. I told her I plan on paying the bill today, but I still had questions about the charge that I would like answered first. She continued to speak over me and be hostile to anything I asked. I told her I would be leaving this review stating that Dr. Roukas was very nice and sweet, but that she is rude and should not be working in customer service. She replied stating that they have every right to reply back and tell everyone how I tried to walk out on paying my bill. At this point I just laughed at her because I stated 5 seconds before this that I would be paying it during this phone call. Ultimately, Effie was very unprofessional, rude, and hostile towards me so unfortunately I cannot recommend this business due to their awful customer service. Only after my payment went through did Effie admit that she was being hostile towards me and apologized, which was too little too late. I expect more from businesses, especially one as highly rated as this, during a pandemic when people are losing their jobs and struggling financially to be understanding and compassionate when a client has concerns about their bill. I am not sure if Effie's character is always like this or perhaps she was having a bad day, but regardless it is unacceptable. I am sure she will face no repercussions though, as she is related to Dr. Roukas.

Highly recommend Glenview Dental! Everyone there is so nice, and you are treated very well. When it comes to the dentist I am the biggest coward. They treat me so well, are very understanding, and help to calm me. I never feel anything pain wise, when I am in the chair. It's worth driving any distance to make Glenview Dental your dentists.

I had just arrived from rural Greece back in 1990 and within months I had an accident and I had to fix a tooth. So I asked my sister where to go and fix it since I knew no one back then and my English were poor. She told my there is this guy on Diversey Av next to Agia Triada Orthodox Church. So I when there. The guy (Antonakos) after a few visits fixed my tooth, so I told him to clean the rest of my teeth. At some point he tells my there is a tooth in very bad shape (and form I guess) and needs to be extracted. Ok, I replied (he had gained my trust by then). After some time and a lot of pain I turned my head towards the extracted tooth. When I saw it I fell of the skies. It was a molar almost a finger long in length and there was some cavity on it around 15-20% but it was one of my best teeth that I had at the time if not the only one that I had (the rest were much worst with big feelings covering at least 50% of the area above the gums). I could not say anything at the time I kept mum for a long time crying in me like I had lost a baby. What could have I done legally back then, probably nothing. I had no proof. It's part of every professional's job that has it in him/her I guess, and I should be extra careful. 30 years later I still cry for it. Not so much for the $350 to $400 that I paid(overcharged - I didn't keep account of all the money I paid but I think was in the $750 area - long time pass to remember - no way to know the price list, I should ask). If he would ask for the money (maybe he was in need back then) and said something along those lines : "Give my $350 or you will lose one of your best tooth", I would have given the money to him to save the tooth. PS. To respond to the 'Response from the owner': Yes, Dr.Antonakos became an oral surgeon just for me and for that session only. As far as whether Dr Antonakos has performed an unethical procedure or not (on me he has), only he, himself knows what he has done or not to others (some times maybe his wife too, but that's another story). The rest of your writing is ... bull.
