Painless procedure, friendly staff, convenient hours that work around my schedule. I've been going to Dr. Chapko for many years and highly recommend his practice. I've just seen him for my second implant, and it was a great experience. I've also seen Dr Shah and can recommend her as well.

With Thanksgiving right around the corner, I want to express how grateful I am for the care I’ve received from Dr. Chapko & Associates over the past six months. From my extractions to implants to my final fitting for dentures, everyone went out of their way to make me feel comfortable and relaxed. Dr. Shah was AMAZING! I would highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for a dentist.

Dr. Chapko and staff are so phenomenal, I feel like I've gone to a dental spa. Dr. Chapko uses the newest methods and technology, often demonstrating his techniques to seasoned dentists. I am high strung when it comes to dentistry, but he always is interested, well-informed and caring. I couldn't recommend anyone more confidently than I do Dr,. Chapko

I love Dr. Chaoko! I went to him for three implants. They fit perfectly! Thanks to him, I can now chew on my left side. His chairside manner is very gentle and kind. I felt no pain during the procedure. Dr. Chaoko was so reassuring and answered every question I had. His staff is wonderful and called the next day after each implant. Now I am so excited because I am having the all-on-4 treatment by Noble Biocare from Dr. Chapko's office!
