Fewer patients per day, more time per patient.
The dental industry has optimized for volume. We optimized for time. Our clinical directors see 8 to 12 patients a day, not 30. Every treatment is designed, imaged, and delivered at the pace the work actually deserves.
Three directors, one standard of care.
The patient journey.
Consultation
A 60-minute visit with a clinical director. Digital imaging, oral health review, and a clear conversation about what you want.
Plan
A written treatment plan with every step, timeline, and cost. No surprises. We walk through insurance and financing together.
Care
Treatment delivered by a single clinical lead who knows your case start to finish. Our labs and ceramists are hand-picked.
Maintenance
Structured follow-up and long-term maintenance so the work lasts. Every restoration is guaranteed for five years.
Essays, notes, and honest answers.
In their own words.
I went in expecting a sales pitch and left with a design study, a treatment plan, and an actual conversation about what I wanted. Six visits over three weeks later, I have the smile I've wanted for 20 years. Nobody can tell they're veneers. That's the whole point.
Dr. Lowe redid work that a previous office did poorly. He didn't bad-mouth the other dentist, he just fixed it. Every step was explained, imaged, and shown to me. Best healthcare experience of my life, honestly.
Dr. Kassar caught a jaw issue that two other orthodontists missed. 14 months later my bite is right, my teeth look good, and I didn't need surgery that the other offices were proposing.
Cracked a tooth on a Sunday morning. Called, they picked up on the second ring, had me in by 11 AM. The office manager remembered my name at my follow-up two weeks later.
My son has sensory processing challenges and had a bad experience at another dentist. Meridian made it work. Dimmer lights, quieter room, slower pace. He actually asks to go now. I never thought I'd type that sentence.
Equipment that makes the work better.

We work with every major plan.
For plans where we are out-of-network, we file claims on your behalf and apply any reimbursement directly to your balance. Our team verifies coverage before your first visit so there are no surprises.
Where our work has been covered.
Meridian Dental Group has quietly become the go-to for New Yorkers who want dental work that looks like no work was done.
Dr. Julian Lowe of Meridian Dental breaks down the math on implants versus bridges in a market full of flashy claims.
Meridian's Brooklyn Heights practice occupies a restored pre-war building with daylight, custom millwork, and zero waiting-room televisions.
Dr. Elena Navarro's approach to veneer design is more atelier than assembly line.
Dr. Amira Kassar, a Harvard-trained orthodontist at Meridian, argues that aligners are often over-prescribed and sometimes under-prescribed, for the same reasons.
Do you take insurance?
We are in-network with Delta Dental PPO, Aetna, Cigna, and Guardian. For every other plan we file as an out-of-network provider and submit on your behalf. Our team verifies coverage before your first visit.
What financing options do you offer?
We offer 0% financing through CareCredit and Lending Club for qualified patients, with plans up to 36 months. For larger cases we also offer in-house membership plans with discounted fees for patients without insurance.
How long is the wait for a new-patient consultation?
Typically 1 to 2 weeks for routine consultations. Urgent cases, including pain or trauma, are seen the same day across all three locations.
What about anxiety and sedation?
Every operatory offers nitrous oxide as a standard comfort option. Oral sedation and IV sedation are available with our board-certified anesthesiologist for complex or anxiety-driven cases.
Are consultations really complimentary?
Yes. Cosmetic and implant consultations are complimentary for new patients. This includes clinical evaluation, digital imaging, and a written treatment plan.
