Services
Cosmetic Dentistry
Transform your smile with personalized cosmetic solutions including porcelain veneers, tooth bonding, and professional teeth whitening. Our treatments address discoloration, chips, gaps, and misalignment while maintaining natural aesthetics. We combine artistic skill with advanced materials to create durable, stain-resistant results that complement facial features and improve confidence.
Invisalign
Achieve straighter teeth discreetly with Invisalign's clear aligner system. Custom-designed for teens and adults, our treatment corrects crowding, spacing, and bite issues through gradual tooth movement. The removable, BPA-free plastic trays offer comfort and convenience while providing precise orthodontic results comparable to traditional braces.
Dental Implants
Restore missing teeth with permanent dental implant solutions that mimic natural tooth function and appearance. Our titanium post placements integrate with jawbone tissue for stable foundations supporting crowns, bridges, or dentures. This treatment prevents bone loss while offering superior aesthetics and chewing efficiency compared to traditional replacement options.
Family Dentistry
Comprehensive dental services for patients of all ages, from children's first visits to senior care. We provide preventive exams, cleanings, sealants, and restorative treatments in a welcoming environment. Our approach emphasizes early detection of oral health issues and establishing lifelong dental hygiene habits through patient education and gentle care.
TMJ Therapy
Specialized care for temporomandibular joint disorders using advanced diagnostic techniques and personalized treatment plans. Our approach combines bite analysis, custom oral appliances, and physical therapy to alleviate pain, headaches, and jaw dysfunction while restoring proper oral mechanics and comfort.

I am one who is always uncomfortable going to the dentist (terrified might be a better word), but Dr. Albrecht and staff ALWAYS make it a pleasant experience. Their friendliness and professionalism is second to none!

This dental practice is simply wonderful. Caring, kind, professional, with cutting edge technology and procedures that make dental visits so easy! It's a great experience from the scheduling, through the friendly front desk and the team that works so hard to make the visit perfect, to the award winning Dr. Ben himself. I know and trust North Meridian Dental Excellence to always be there for me and my family. Dr Ben is my dentist for life. Any other practice would pale in comparison, and I'm glad that I will always have this great team taking care of my dental needs.

Dr. Ben and his staff are top notch. I had two teeth knocked out in an accident and Dr. Ben (along with Dr. Michael Edwards from Implant Dentistry and Periodontics who implanted the titanium posts) did an amazing job of recreating my teeth. I love that Dr. Ben is a perfectionist in the best since of that word: he takes his craft and the care of his patients seriously and always with kindness and compassion and more importantly he took the task of creating my new teeth with the perfection of an artist. Dr. Ben did an outstanding job for me and I couldn't be happier.
I would be remiss to not mention his staff that showed me outstanding care, compassion, kindness and also were downright fun. I can honestly say, I actually looked forward to "going to the dentist". I would w/o reservation recommend Dr. Ben and his practice from anything from a simple cleaning to a complete dental replacement. I, for one, am a very satisfied customer and am very grateful to the whole practice for taking care of me during a difficult time.

I've had to other dentists here in town but Dr Ahlbrecht and his staff are the first ones that I actually believe to have my best interest in mind.
