Knee Stuart DDS

Dental care on the South Shore often means a drive to the larger clinics in Freeport or Rockville Centre. Knee Stuart DDS keeps the routine closer to home—cleanings, fillings, and the occasional crown without the extra miles. The practice sits where Merrick’s quiet side streets meet the main thoroughfares, a short walk from the elementary school and the deli that sells those oversized chocolate chip cookies.

Routine check-ups, digital X-rays, and simple extractions are handled in the same building where parents drop off kids for soccer practice and commuters catch the 6:17 train. At 1846 Merrick Ave, the low-slung brick office blends into the neighborhood; the only giveaway is the discreet sign near the corner. Residents who prefer a dentist they can reach on foot or by bike tend to book here, especially when the alternative is a twenty-minute drive across town.

Appointments for sealants, fluoride treatments, or emergency care can be scheduled by calling (516) 378-1725—no online portal, just a voice on the other end of the line. The office keeps a few slots open each week for last-minute needs, a detail that parents and shift workers appreciate when a sudden toothache derails the day. No frills, just the basics done reliably.

Merrick’s tree-lined blocks and mid-century houses give the area a settled feel, and the local businesses reflect that same steady rhythm. For directions, the map listing is straightforward: here. No need to hunt for parking; the side street usually has space by mid-morning.
