Detailed Introduction
Drakos Dental Clinic is a well-established and highly reputable dental practice located at 8963 Broadway, Merrillville, IN 46410. Founded in 1953 by Dr. Thomas Drakos Sr., it has been a locally and family-owned business for two generations, with Dr. Thomas Drakos Jr. and Dr. Charlene Drakos continuing the legacy. The clinic is known for its comprehensive dental care provided in a warm, family-oriented, and gentle atmosphere.
Their services encompass a wide spectrum of general, cosmetic, and restorative dentistry. This includes preventive care such as dental examinations, oral cancer screenings, cleanings, and various types of X-rays (bitewing, periapical, and panorex). They also offer fluoride treatments, tooth sealants, oral hygiene instructions, mouthguards, and nightguards for teeth grinding.
In cosmetic dentistry, Drakos Dental Clinic provides teeth whitening, composite bonding, porcelain veneers, tooth-colored fillings, ceramic crowns and bridges, smile makeovers, and full mouth reconstruction (both functional and aesthetic). A distinctive offering is their integration of therapeutic and cosmetic Botox™ and Dermal Fillers (such as Juvederm) as part of overall treatment plans to enhance facial aesthetics.
Advanced procedures at the clinic include implant dentistry, which they specialize in for replacing single or multiple missing teeth and supporting complete dentures (with free implant consultations available). They also perform root canal therapy, utilize Single-Tooth Anesthetic (Wand) for more comfortable injections, and offer root-planing and periodontal debridement, relining of complete and partial dentures, and bite equilibration.
Drakos Dental Clinic is deeply committed to patient comfort and satisfaction, focusing on individualized care and listening to patients' desires. They have an experienced and compassionate staff, many of whom have been with the practice for years. The clinic offers various financial options, including Lending Club, and is actively involved in community initiatives, including mission trips to Haiti.
