The entire staff at Mermaid Dental is absolutely fantastic, especially Sergio and Dr. K! I have never had fun at the dentist office but I did today! Sergio was wonderful and kept me entertained the whole time! Everyone at Mermaid Dental is so helpful and I’m so glad I have found my dentist home.

I had such a great experience at Mermaid Dental. The entire team is welcoming, and my dentist always does a phenomenal job with my cleanings. You can truly tell he builds personal relationships with each of his patients, which makes every visit feel comfortable and welcoming. He takes the time to listen, explain everything clearly, and genuinely cares about his patients’ well-being. I always leave feeling well taken care of. Highly recommend!

The team here is hands down the best! The girls up front were friendly and helpful over the phone before even meeting me! The gentleman who took my x-rays and prepped me for the Dr. was so warm and I didn't feel an ounce of judgement. The Dr. was also very friendly and informative. The ladies up front were so inviting with my toddler! They gave us gifts from a treasure box and giggled with my little one while we went over paperwork. To say the team here is great is an understatement!

I do not like going to the dentist. It gives me anxiety, but my experience at Mermaid Dental was such a positive one. The cleaning by Sergio was effortless. I needed some fillings and a tooth extraction, and Dr. K along with her assistant, Bailey, did an amazing job at making the experience painless. They talked me through the entire process. Dr. K. also was very informative regarding my options with zero pressure. I really like Dr. K. I would 100 percent recommend Mermaid Dental.

Went in to get a wisdom tooth extracted. Staff was super friendly. Didn't have a long wait. Ms.jessica and Dr.K made the entire experience much easier than I expected and kept me calm throughout the procedure.

Mermaid Dental is a family owned general dental practice at 1504 Aquarena Springs Drive, Suite 110, in San Marcos, Texas, the town the practice affectionately calls the Mermaid Capitol of Texas. The office serves patients of all ages from San Marcos and neighboring cities, and it aims to handle most care in office, including cleanings, exams, extractions, crowns, root canals, clear aligner therapy, and dentures, to reduce the need for referrals. For patients with missing teeth, the practice offers dental implant restoration, in which implants can be paired with crowns for single tooth replacement or used to anchor dentures. Supporting services listed on the site include bone grafting, extractions, and nitrous oxide for comfort.
Before recommending implants, the practice evaluates factors such as available bone support, gum health, sinus and nerve location, and overall health, then tailors a replacement plan to each patient's needs and preferences. The office describes a no judgment, no pressure approach in which the team listens, explains the options, and lets the patient decide. Comfort touches noted on the site include ceiling mounted TVs, music, neck pillows, and blankets. Office hours are Monday and Tuesday from 9am to 5pm, Wednesday from 8am to 1pm, and Thursday and Friday from 8am to 4pm, and new patients are welcome.
The practice is led by Dr. Thanuja Kularatne, DDS, known to her patients as Dr. K. She earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, and she originally graduated with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery in Sri Lanka. She also holds a Master of Science in Rehabilitation Counseling from the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. According to the practice website, Dr. K is a member of the American Academy of Clear Aligners and a fellow of the International Dental Implant Association, and she regularly travels to take new courses to stay current on dental advancements. She is described as a personable and kind dentist who actively listens to her patients and keeps their best interests at heart.
