Meet Dr. James Priftakis — Your Smithtown Family Dentist

Dr. James Priftakis

Dr. James Priftakis graduated from Stevens institute of Technology with a Bachelor’s in Biomedical Engineering in 2016 and Rutgers Dental School in 2020. He completed his residency as Chief Dental Resident in 2022 at NYU Langone Long Island. In his chief year, he expanded on his skills in root canals, implant placement and restoration, and full mouth rehabilitations. After residency, he began commuting each week to a remote area of New York to provide dental care to an underserved community with no access to dental care. While providing care in the remote community, he also started working part time in this practice in early 2022. We are pleased to now have Dr. James with us full time, in addition to Dr. Patti and Dr. Lavorata!

Came to Dr Lavorata’s practice and saw Dr James Priftakis. I can’t say enough about how kind and caring the entire staff was, and Dr Priftakis himself. He came in regularly while the dental assistant was giving me a cleaning, and even took it upon himself to finish the cleaning on his own. Great experience, skilled doctors, and great staff!!

Dr James is by far the best dentist I have used. He is the perfect blend of expert, personable, patient and professional. He is the Gold Standard of dentists and I would recommend him to anyone who wants all of the above in their dentist. He has accommodated last-minute appointments & always has a solution to a problem. Lastly, his staff are very friendly and professional. Thank you for everything!
