Tassos Katechis, D.D.S., of Port Washington Dental Care, proudly announces the grand opening of an additional location in Merrick. Still a work in progress, although open since last October, Merrick Dental Care is will soon be adding onsite dental specialists. Dr. Katechis and his associate, Pavlos Malonoukos, D.M.D., will divide their hours between the two locations.

“My goal is to offer the most modern dentistry, using state-of-the-art equipment and technology, and to provide the best service to my patients in a friendly environment,” said Dr. Katechis. “Patient health is our priority, followed by a beautiful smile.”

Dr. Katechis earned his degree in stomatology (oral medicine) from P.J. Safarik University in Kosice, Slovakia. He received a post-graduate certification in prosthodontics from New York University College of Dentistry, followed by a three-year fellowship at New York University College of Dentistry, leading to a Doctor of Dental Surgery Degree (DDS). His languages include English, Greek, Slovak and Spanish. He is a member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD), American Dental Association (ADA), and is a certified Invisalign provider.

Merrick Dental Care offers comfort amenities such as a TV in every room. Dental treatments span from general to advanced to cosmetic. Among the many services are digital X-rays with computer monitoring, fillings, cleanings, teeth whitening, bonding, sealants, crowns, implants, porcelain veneers, Invisalign for teeth straightening, treatment for TMJ (temporomandibular joint dysfunction), and the use of laser for soft tissue surgery. Only top quality laboratories are used to prepare dentures and bridges.

Second opinions are offered at no charge. Walk-ins for emergencies are always welcome. They accept most insurance plans. There is a dental hygienist onsite, and the Merrick staff will soon include a periodontist (gums), endodontist (root canals), pedodontist (dentist for children) and an oral surgeon.

Dental specialists are currently available at the Port Washington location, and local referrals can be provided. Merrick Dental Care has office hours on Monday through Thursday, and on Saturday.
