When a tooth has been damaged, becomes sensitive, or is weakened due to multiple restorations, a crown may be recommended to help restore, strengthen and protect the tooth. A crown is basically a cap the doctor places to return the tooth to original shape and function. 

When a tooth is lost, a bridge literally bridges the gap where the original tooth had once been. This helps to maintain the shape of your face and can restore chewing function. 

Crowns & bridges can be made from a variety of strong, esthetically pleasing materials. When a crown or bridge is recommended, our doctors at Meridian Dental Clinic will discuss which option they feel is the best replacement option for you. 

What is CEREC?

AA beautiful, confident, healthy smile is important even for denture wearers. At Meridian Dental Clinic, we provide personalized denture services that meet the needs and comfort-levels of our patients. 

If you are interested in learning more about dentures, and determining if they are the right choice for you, we welcome the opportunity to speak with you. You are unique, and our goal is to create dentures that capture the one-of-a-kind, natural, and confident smile that suits you best!ccording to the American Cancer Society there are 54,000 new cases of new cases of oral and oropharyngeal cancer every year. Early detection is the key to managing and surviving all types of cancer, and oral cancer is no different. 

At Meridian Dental Clinic we utilize the VELscope® Vx Enhanced Oral Assessment System to enhance our ability to detect abnormalities. 

The VELscope® Vx Enhanced Oral Assessment System utilizes a painless light source that allows our doctors and hygienists to detect areas of suspicion including those undetected by the naked eye. Our doctors will also palpate the neck, tongue, and soft tissues, to feel for lumps or abnormalities.  

Call our office if you notice lesions, red patches, lumps, or changes in color, between visits. Your health is our priority. 

Our goal is to help you maintain your teeth for a lifetime. However, there are times when it is necessary to remove a tooth. When extraction is necessary, the doctors at Meridian Dental Clinic are here for you. Our highly trained doctors will attend to the affected tooth  quickly and effectively. Your comfort and care are our top priority. 

Dental fillings are used to restore and repair minor cracks and decay in the teeth. There are two types of filling materials. Traditional fillings are most often made of silver amalgam, while composite fillings are made of composite resins and have a more natural, esthetically pleasing appearance. 

While both options are durable and long-lasting, your doctor will discuss the options, and together you can determine the best course of treatment for you. 

Periodically a tooth may develop an infection affecting the nerve. With a special procedure called a root canal, our doctors can save you from discomfort and subsequent dental problems with a root canal. 

During a root canal, the doctor removes the infected tissue, replacing it with a special filling material. In most cases, a crown is recommended after root canal therapy to strengthen and protect the tooth. With regular preventative maintenance, and good home care, your restored tooth can last a lifetime.

We are pleased to offer our patients the option of comfortable, safe, and effective sedation dentistry. Sedation allows you to relax during your procedure, with no recollection of the time the procedure took, or the associated sights and sounds. You will rest comfortably while your doctor gently, and expertly performs the procedure. It is the simplest and most relaxing way to experience dental care. 

To learn more about sedation dentistry, ask one of our wonderful team members about  scheduling a consultation to see which form of sedation is right for you.
