Ann Arbor Periodontics

Ann Arbor Periodontics, associated with the website merawperiodontics.com, operates as a specialized dental clinic in Ann Arbor, Michigan, with Dr. Stephen J. Meraw, DDS, MS, PLLC at its helm. Dr. Meraw is a highly qualified and board-certified periodontist, having received extensive training from prestigious institutions like the University of Detroit Mercy, Johns Hopkins Hospital, and the Mayo Clinic, where he also earned a Master's degree in Biomedical Sciences. He is a recipient of the Kramer Scholar Award, a significant recognition for clinical periodontal graduates in the U.S., and has served on the faculty of the University of Michigan School of Dentistry for over 16 years. The clinic is dedicated to providing a high standard of personalized dental care, emphasizing comprehensive treatment planning, preventative care, and patient education. Their philosophy centers on "dental health care" rather than just "disease care," focusing on thorough exams, oral cancer screenings, and necessary X-rays. They strictly adhere to infection control standards recommended by the American Dental Association (ADA), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the Center for Disease Control (CDC), ensuring patient safety. Ann Arbor Periodontics offers a wide range of services specifically focused on the health and aesthetics of the gums and jawbone. These services include, but are not limited to, the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal disease (gum disease), often starting with non-surgical deep cleanings like scaling and root planing. For more advanced cases, they perform surgical procedures such as Gum Grafting for receding gums, Crown Lengthening to expose more tooth structure, ridge modification, and sinus augmentation. A significant aspect of their practice is dental implant procedures, restoring functionality and aesthetics for missing teeth. They are committed to continuous education and staying abreast of the latest techniques and technologies in periodontics and implant dentistry to provide state-of-the-art care. The team at Ann Arbor Periodontics strives to create a comfortable and positive experience for patients, understanding and addressing any anxieties related to dental visits.
