Services

Preventative Dentistry

Regular exams and cleanings help maintain oral health while preventing issues like cavities and gum disease. Our team emphasizes early detection of systemic health concerns linked to oral conditions. Patients receive personalized education on home care routines and preventive treatments like fluoride varnishes.

Dental Implants

Implants provide permanent solutions for missing teeth using titanium posts fused to jawbone. We offer traditional and mini-implants for overdentures or individual replacements. This service restores chewing function, preserves facial structure, and offers natural-looking results through crowns or bridges.

Root Canal Therapy

We perform root canals to save infected teeth by removing damaged pulp and sealing the interior. Both Drs. Meiners handle complex molar cases in-house using advanced techniques. This procedure alleviates pain, prevents extraction, and stops infection spread to other teeth or the body.

Smile Makeovers

Customized treatments address discoloration, chips, gaps, and misshapen teeth through bonding, veneers, or crowns. We combine artistry with durable materials to enhance aesthetics while maintaining functionality. Patients receive tailored plans to achieve their ideal smile in a single visit or staged treatments.

Gum Grafting

This procedure covers exposed tooth roots caused by recession using tissue grafts. We address cosmetic concerns and sensitivity while preventing further bone loss. Gum recontouring also corrects uneven lines for a balanced, healthy smile appearance through minimally invasive techniques.

My husband and I absolutely LOVE this office! Dr. Zach always takes great care of us, his work is amazing and I whole heartedly trust him. Everyone is so kind and genuine. You can't help but feel welcomed here. The front desk gals are the sweetest, always taking great care of us when we arrive and leave and offer a level of customer service you truly cannot find anywhere else. All of the hygienist are great, and Taylor who usually helps when I am there or cleans my teeth is very personable and friendly. I wouldn't ever choose another dentist as long as I don't have to! Please don't go anywhere, you all truly make a difference Thank you!

When my 95 year old Aunt's upper dentures broke (made by a Florida dentist before she moved here) she was able to get in to see Dr Mainers Sr the same day and get her repaired Uppers back in just a few days. We are so grateful! Aunt V also had implants put in her Lowe gum to attach the lower denture and it has made eating much more pleasant for her.

Everyone at Meiners is so kind and helpful. They've worked with me for the last few years to get my smile where I want it. We have a bit more to go, but have a great plan. Any questions I have from the process to billing is easily answered. And scheduling is easy, always getting in right when I need it. Highly recommend to anyone with teeth

I needed a crown. The temporary one went in fine. I was told 2-3 weeks for the permanent crown to come in. It wasn't much more than a week when it arrived and was put in. A perfect fit. I don't think I ever had such a fine dental experience. Thanks to Dr. Zach Meiner and his kind, concerned and friendly staff.

The staff at Meiners Denistry is spectacular! Going to the dentist used to be something I truly dreaded. But when I come here it is a relaxing and actually entertaining. I love talking to the staff, and everyone is so kind, caring, and professional. I understand now why some of my friends have been coming here for 20+ years!

I had the privilege of being referred to Meiners Dentistry by a dear family member and she did not let me down. But, even more than that, Meiners especially, did not let me down. They were kind enough to help me even though another dentist had started the work (a temporary crown, needed a permanent, was also having some pain) and we didn't get finished due to the whole Covid inconvenience. Dr. Zach, Gigi, and Taylor are fantastic and made me feel at ease with everything.

They encouraged all my questions without allowing me to feel silly or insecure. The entire office is incredibly compassionate, courteous and ensure their patient is always comfortable and informed. It was pretty painless and there isn't a thing they could have done any better. These are the things that really matter when we have a choice about where to do our business. You will be pleased when you choose Meiners Dentistry too!
