Services
Dr. Merendino and staff enjoyed a wonderful holiday season and wish our patients the best in the New Year! Dr. Merendino and staff partnered with Miles for Smiles and the Providence Medical Group to provide free dental care to citizens in need right here in our own community! What a blessing it is to have the opportunity to serve others!
Before: Front (left) Central tooth has a poor restoration. Does not look natural and is not contoured properly to match the gumline of the rest of the teeth. After: Replaced with an All Porcelain Crown (no metal). Tooth is now contoured to match the rest of the gumline. Restored tooth looks very natural and matches the shape and color of the patient's teeth.
Whether your dental needs are a complete exam and cleaning, a full-mouth restoration, or anything in between, we promise to provide you with exceptional care as we enhance the natural beauty of your smile. Below are just some of the many procedures and services we regularly provide to our patients - with a gentle touch, and stunning results.
A preventive program is a cooperative effort by the patient, dentist, and dental staff to preserve the natural dentition and supporting structures by preventing the onset, progress, and recurrence of dental diseases and conditions. Preventing dental disease starts at home with good oral hygiene and a balanced diet.
Panoramic X-rays (also known as Panorex(R) or orthopantomograms) are wraparound photographs of the face and teeth. They offer a view that would otherwise be invisible to the naked eye. X-rays in general, expose hidden structures, such as wisdom teeth, reveal preliminary signs of cavities, and also show fractures and bone loss.

I haven't been able to go to the dentist in several years due to no dental insurance and anxiety. However, here recently, my husband was able to get family insurance at his place of employment. So, knowing that my teeth were in desperate need of help, I made an appointment with Dr. Merendino's office. The entire staff there is phenomenal, and they now have me on a good solid path to having a healthier mouth.

What an awesome dental office. Everyone so genuinely friendly and responsive. It starts from the top with Dr Merendino. A top notch dentist who can do everything. Jasmine in the office is so patient with any billing or payment issue that comes up. And they always work you in if you are having an issue. Karla is the best dental hygienist I have ever seen. So diligent in making sure every bit of plaque and stain removed. No reason to even consider going anywhere else.

I love Dr. Merendino and staff. I love sweet Carla. She's so gentle when cleaning your teeth, and understands fluent 'hand, instrument, in mouth'! Dr. Merendino is a hoot! The girls in front are so kind and do their job well!

I had an awesome dental visit. I was comfortable and the Doctor and staff were very friendly. I was happy with my temporary Bridge, they were able to matched the color to my original teeth. I can’t wait to go back for the permanent one😊
