Dr. Steven Melonakos (pronounced “mel-oh-NAH-kos”) is from Newton, NC where he attended Fred T. Foard High School. After high school, he graduated from Brigham Young University with a bachelor’s degree in Biology and then went on to receive his dental training and DDS degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
While at UNC, Dr. Melonakos met and married his wife, Janet, who was in graduate school…at Duke. Don’t worry, they somehow have a happy marriage! Dr. Melonakos and Janet have a very busy 11-year-old daughter, another 9-year-old daughter who is always ready with a smile, a 7-year-old son who loves being his dad’s shadow, and a daughter who’s still in preschool. A member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Dr. Melonakos has been involved in numerous service and outreach efforts (mainly through working with the youth).
Dr. Melonakos is a member of the ADA (American Dental Association), the AGD (Academy of General Dentistry), the NCDS (North Carolina Dental Society), and is currently the president of the ICDS (Iredell County Dental Society). Dr. Melonakos has also been involved with the NC Missions of Mercy clinics in Charlotte and other locations around the state. He is passionate about dentistry and is committed to providing compassionate and competent care. He has a special interest in prosthodontics and in surgical procedures.
When not at the office Dr. Melonakos loves to be active and outdoors (and on beautiful Lake Norman!). Having caught the competitive bug playing soccer and tennis in high school, Dr. Melonakos will try and play just about any sport. He has run several half-marathons and completed his first triathlon a few summers ago. He also loves art and photography.
