Dr. Deniakos is thrilled to bring his robust professional and personal experiences to SOLA Dental. He is a graduate of Louisiana State University School of Dentistry and is a military veteran. As an Air Force officer, Dr. Deniakos completed an Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) residency in California. He was then stationed in Alabama, where he went on to pursue his Master of Business Administration (MBA) at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Today, Dr. Deniakos continues to stay up to date with the latest in techniques and research through hundreds of continuing education hours each year. He is Sedation Certified and is a member of the American Dental Association, the Louisiana Dental Association and the Academy of General Dentistry.
In his practice, Dr. Deniakos often thinks back to his experiences as a young patient in the dental chair. Following a traumatic injury on the playground, he underwent many of the same procedures that he now performs for his patients. These experiences laid the framework for Dr. Deniakos’ calling in life and passion for dentistry. As a veteran, leader and clinician, Dr. Deniakos is excited to share his love for oral health with each person who walks through SOLA’s doors.
When not practicing dentistry, Dr. Deniakos enjoys playing golf, hiking, studying new languages and traveling. He loves spending time with his wife, Diana, and their young son, Matthew. Dr. Deniakos is also an avid lover of music – he plays both the piano and guitar and sings.
We want every interaction you have with SOLA Dental to be a positive one. Whether it’s scheduling an appointment with our front desk staff or discussing treatment options with the dentist and hygienist, our Lafayette team pride ourselves on always serving each patient with a smile.
When you walk through our doors, we want you to make yourself comfortable and know you’re in a place where your care is the highest priority. Dr. Deniakos makes it a point to explain all your treatment options and come from a place of understanding and compassion when helping you plan your next steps. We believe each patient should have the freedom to choose what works best for them, so you’re always part of the planning process as we take into account your unique needs and preferences.
As you step into our office, we want you to feel right at home. Enjoy our modern-yet-inviting waiting room after you get checked in to your appointment. Grab a complimentary beverage, relax and know that when you're at SOLA Dental, you'll be treated like family.
SOLA Dental is proud to offer the latest in dental technology, including an intraoral scanner that allows for precise digital models of the teeth.

"A smile is the gateway to the soul."
