Dr. Mercedes Aguila

When a molar starts throbbing on a Tuesday afternoon, Uniondale residents often think of one place. Dr. Mercedes Aguila offers general dentistry just steps from the Long Island Rail Road station, where cleanings and fillings share the schedule with root canals and crowns. The practice sits at 1003 Front St, a short walk from the Uniondale Public Library and the post office.

Front Street feels like the quiet backbone of the neighborhood—low brick storefronts, a deli on every corner, and enough shade trees to soften the summer pavement. Dental offices here tend to blend into the rhythm of the block, serving families who’ve lived in the area for decades alongside newcomers spotting the same “For Rent” signs. Preventive care and emergency visits happen side by side, reflecting the way local needs rarely fit into neat categories.

Beyond routine check-ups, patients can expect digital X-rays, periodontal treatments, and pediatric consultations. The office also handles extractions and simple implants, making it a practical stop for anyone who prefers to keep their dental work close to home. A quick call ahead can confirm availability or clarify insurance questions at (516) 486-1895.
