Meridian Dental – Family Dentistry

Meridian Dental – Family dentistry is a dental clinic that operates under the umbrella of Meridian Health Services, a regional healthcare organization dedicated to providing "whole-person" healthcare by integrating physical, mental, and social well-being. This approach emphasizes the vital link between oral health and overall general health. Located at 406 W Votaw St, Portland, IN 47371, Meridian Dental – Family Dentistry offers a comprehensive array of adult and pediatric dental services. Their team of board-certified dentists and hygienists strives to make the dental experience as comfortable and relaxing as possible for patients. Services provided include general family dental care, preventive care (such as exams, x-rays, sealants, and fluoride treatments), periodontal care (treatment and management of gum disease), oral surgery (routine removal of non-restorable teeth), restorative care (fillings, root canals, and crowns), and prosthetic care (full and partial dentures available in-house). They also emphasize the importance of regular checkups and professional care for maintaining healthy teeth and gums, and addressing dental diseases that can contribute to serious health problems like heart disease and diabetes. A key aspect of Meridian Dental – Family Dentistry's mission is to increase access to care for underserved populations. They accept most insurances, including Medicaid, and offer a sliding fee scale for those who qualify, aiming to ensure that quality dental care is accessible to a wider community. They also provide emergency dental care, accepting walk-ins and offering extended hours when possible. The clinic adheres to CDC guidelines for oral and dental healthcare and offers 24-hour call coverage. Their commitment extends to patient education, helping individuals understand their oral health needs and prevention protocols.
