Common questions
from patients
Do you accept new patients?
Yes. As a Winnetka dentist focused on long-term relationships, we welcome individuals and families seeking consistent, thoughtful care built on trust, communication, and conservative clinical guidance.
Will I meet the doctor at my first visit?
Yes. Your first visit begins with a personal conversation with Dr. Merikas. She takes time to understand your health history, concerns, and goals before any exams, imaging, or treatment planning begins.
Do you offer second opinions?
Yes. Many patients choose our Winnetka dentist for second opinions when they want clear, conservative recommendations. We review existing treatment plans carefully and explain options so patients can move forward with confidence.
Do you take a conservative approach to treatment?
Yes. We focus on prevention and thoughtful planning, recommending treatment only when it supports long-term oral health. Each plan reflects clinical need, patient goals, and a shared decision-making process.
Is nitrous available for anxious patients?
Yes. Nitrous oxide, also called laughing gas, is available to help patients feel more at ease during treatment. Comfort options are discussed in advance so care can proceed in a calm, controlled way.
What areas do you serve?
While our practice is located in Winnetka, we care for patients throughout the North Shore, including Glencoe and Northfield. Many families choose us for continuity, trusted recommendations, and long-term dental relationships.
