Your first visit at Kakaris Family Dentistry is all about getting to know you: your health history, your goals, and your comfort level. We understand that many people are used to feeling discomfort, anxiety and fear at the dentist, and that is totally normal. For over 45 years, our priority has been changing that common feeling of fear at the dentist, into a positive feeling of comfort and safety when you are at our office.
From the moment you arrive, our team focuses on making you feel welcomed, heard, and at ease.
Our goal is to help you feel comfortable, informed, and confident every step of the way. We often receive reviews from patients stating that they never thought they could feel so much trust, care and compassion after their appointments with Dr. Kakaris, or how they never expected to have so much fun laughing at their appointment with Dr. Kakaris Porter! We are proud to have received hundreds of Google reviews from real patients who eagerly share this experience in our office.
To make your appointment smoother, we ask that you complete your patient information forms prior to your appointment.
You can download, print, and complete your patient forms at home, then bring them with you to your appointment.
Filling out your forms ahead of your appointment helps to reduce check-in time and allows us to focus on your care as soon as you arrive.
We believe quality dental care should be accessible, and our objective is to give you the financial options to get the dental treatment you need. Kakaris Family Dentistry accepts a wide range of payment options to fit your individual needs.

Our patients say it best, and we are thankful for the hundreds of 5 star reviews we have received from our patients on Google. We’re proud that Kakaris Family Dentistry is the #1 trusted dental office for patients and families throughout Woodhaven and the entire Downriver area.
As one of the few remaining family-owned and operated dental offices in the neighborhood, the trust and support of our patients at Kakaris Family Dentistry means the world to us. We are grateful to be part of your care.
Frequently asked questions about going to the dentist.
Yes! We are now welcoming new patients of all ages.
We accept most insurance plans, and our dedicated staff will help you understand your benefits.
It is very common for people of all ages to be nervous and experience dental anxiety. We offer comfort-focused care to help put you at ease, including “laughing gas” nitrous oxide sedation dentistry and other options to help you feel relaxed and comfortable.
The frequency we recommend for your dental visits varies based on your unique dental needs. Most patients benefit from visits every six months, but recommendations may be as soon as every three for those with periodontal disease. We will evaluate your oral health at your first visit and put together an ongoing treatment plan to help you maintain a healthy smile.
Our doctors understand how debilitating tooth pain can be, and how suddenly its onset may be. That is why we offer same-day and emergency dental appointments whenever possible.
Please bring a photo ID, insurance information, and completed patient forms if available.
