Pair of Dentists Bringing New Life to East Watertown Dental Office

By |

Two dentists have purchased a practice in East Watertown and have plans to bring new life to the dental office which had been only open a couple days a week. 

Dr. M. Zakkoom and Dr. M. Kamel took over the Professional Dental Image practice on Bigelow Avenue and seek to become part of the community. The office has been run by Dr. Juan Jose Graham for many years, but he is retiring in a few months. When they saw that a dental practice was available, Zakkoom and Kamel jumped at the chance. The office has the latest technology, Zakkoom said, including a machine that makes crowns the same day that a patient comes in. “Usually the dentist takes an impression of a tooth, sends it away and wait two weeks.
