Greenwood Dental Associates welcomes Dr. Tasos Belegratis who recently joined Drs. Mark Brodie and Eric D'Hondt in their Greenwood Village practice. A Denver native, Dr. Belegratis received his doctor of dental surgery (DDS) degree from the University of Colorado School of Dentistry.

Dr. Belegratis completed a two-year general practice residency focusing on surgery, including the placement of dental implants and extraction ofwisdom teeth as well as general dentistry. He also is certified in intravenous sedation. These services are not traditionally provided in general dental practices, and therefore make Greenwood Dental a more comprehensive center for general dentistry.

"The addition of Dr. Belegratis allows for most surgical procedures to be completed in our new on-site surgical suite," said Dr. Brodie, founder and co-owner of Greenwood Dental. "His training gives him a unique perspective because he not only places implants but restores them as well."

Dr. Belegratis believes that good communication is the key to forming successful relationships with his patients. "I take pride in my rapport with patients and the positive results of my work," Dr. Belegratis said. "I discuss the various treatment options with patients and make them feel comfortable throughout the entire process."

Founded in 1981, Greenwood Dental Associates combines the art and science of dentistry with a compassionate concern for patients' complete well-being. It's mission: To provide dentistry's best patient care, treatment and education. Location: 7000 E. Belleview Avenue, Suite 205, Greenwood Village. Information: www.greenwooddental.com, (303) 773-0960.

Dr. Belegratis is accepting new patients of all ages.
