Dino Mantis DDS

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!

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 ½ 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.
