“She is one of the best doctor, which I met here!”

The visit starts with a conversation,
not a drill.

Most people don't skip the dentist because they don't care about their teeth. They skip it because they expect pain, surprise bills, and a doctor who doesn't explain anything. Dental Friends was built to be the opposite of that. Our practice in Bay Ridge is led by Dr. Aneta Kozyra-Mejia, DDS, a graduate of New York University College of Dentistry with a fellowship in implant dentistry. You will always know what we are doing, why, and what it will cost — before anything happens. We speak English and Polish, and our staff speaks Spanish. Hablamos español.

We are a family practice in the plain sense of the word: adults and teenagers, routine check-ups and long-overdue first visits, nervous patients and relaxed ones. The visit starts with a conversation, not a drill.

01 — Comfort

A calm, unhurried visit

The office was designed with anxious patients in mind. Nothing happens in the chair before it has been explained.

02 — Continuity

One dentist, start to finish

Dr. Kozyra-Mejia sees you at every visit. You are not handed to a different provider each time.

03 — Access

Three languages under one roof

English, Polish, and Spanish. Bring your parents, your kids, your neighbor.
