Appointment RequestDedicated Dentist - Vero Beach, FL
Get to Know Dr. Mariya Pecheny, DMD
For Dr. Pecheny, the best thing about her job is getting to know her patients so she can personalize their treatment according to their specific needs. She also really likes being able to work with our in-house lab in order to make crowns, bridges, and dentures that both look great and can be trusted to last. She’s eager to meet you, but first, you can learn a little more about Dr. Pecheny’s background below.
Why Did You Decide to Become a Dentist?
Dr. Pecheny spent her fair share of time in the dental chair as a child due to her unfortunate sweet tooth. As a result, she became very comfortable with dentistry. The fact that there are so many different aspects of dentistry really piqued her interest early on. But, what attracted her the most was how personal it is. She liked the idea of being able to see her patients multiple times a year and not only treat their dental needs, but also establish lasting relationships with them at the same time.
Where Did You Study Dentistry?
Dr. Pecheny grew up in upstate New York where she attended St. Bonaventure University and earned a Bachelor of Science with a minor in Business Administration. She then moved to sunny Sarasota, Florida where she attended the LECOM School of Dental Medicine. She went on to work in a dental clinic located in Erie, Pennsylvania where she gained experience in all areas of dental medicine. Before moving to Vero Beach, Dr. Pecheny became a permanent Florida resident and practiced general dentistry in Melbourne. Today, Dr. Pecheny is a member of the American Dental Association as well as the Florida Dental Association
Outside of the Dental Office, What Do You Like to Do?
When not at the dental office, Dr. Pecheny enjoys spending time with her Great Dane, Blue. She and her husband (who is also a dentist) like to take him to the beach, dog parks, and any other trails that they can find.
