About Winnetka Dental Group
Where people come first
A place where people stay
We have cared for patients in downtown Winnetka for decades, and many of the people you see here have been coming to us for years. Families grow with us. Some patients even travel back from other states because familiarity and trust matter to them. We believe lasting care comes from relationships, and everything we do is guided by that belief.
The friendly experts behind your care
Dr. Amanda Merikas
Dr. Zohra Metalwala
How care begins here
We start by listening. You have time to explain what you feel, what concerns you, and what you want from your care. From there, we talk through options clearly and honestly.
Our approach stays conservative and thoughtful, guided by what makes sense for you now and what protects your health long term.
What you notice when you walk in
The pace feels different. Appointments feel calm and unrushed. We take time to answer questions and explain what we see in plain language.
You are never pushed into decisions or hurried through visits. Many patients tell us this steady, respectful approach helps them feel more at ease.
Built on familiarity and trust
We take the time to get to know you. We learn what makes you comfortable, how you prefer to communicate, and what matters most to you. That familiarity allows your care to feel personal instead of transactional. Our goal is not a single appointment, but a relationship that supports your health year after year.
Technology that supports how we care
We use modern dental technology to support clarity, comfort, and thoughtful planning, never to replace conversation. This includes:
- Digital x-rays for clear, efficient imaging
- 3D intraoral scanning for precise measurements and explanations
- Advanced imaging to support careful diagnosis and planning
These tools help us explain what we see, plan accurately, and deliver care that feels predictable and well considered.
Dr. Merikas is incredibly thorough, patient, and truly cares about her clients.
