Dental Cleanings: The Key to a Bright, Healthy Smile

Benefits of Dental Cleanings

Regular dental cleanings offer numerous benefits for your oral health:

Prevention of Gum Disease

Plaque and tartar buildup can lead to gum disease. Regular cleanings remove these harmful substances, reducing the risk of gingivitis and periodontitis.

Cavity Prevention

Cleanings help remove plaque, a major cause of cavities. By keeping your teeth clean and free from plaque, you can significantly reduce your risk of developing cavities.

Improved Oral Health

Regular cleanings can help identify and address potential oral health problems early, such as tooth decay, gum disease, and oral cancer.

Fresher Breath

Plaque and tartar buildup can contribute to bad breath. Regular teeth cleanings can help eliminate these odor-causing substances, resulting in fresher breath.

Brighter Smile

Professional cleanings can remove surface stains and help your teeth look brighter and more appealing.

Overall Health

Studies have shown that oral health is linked to overall health. Maintaining good oral hygiene through regular cleanings can contribute to your overall well-being.

Based on 600+ Reviews

“This was the most pleasant dental visit I have ever experienced. They were respectful, prompt, and delightful during all of my procedures. The work that was done as quickly completed but very well executed. I had a crown, 2 fillings, a cleaning, and a tooth repair.

I will be sending everyone I know that needs work done to them. It was a great experience. Thank you.”

Hyrum N.

“I have never had a negative experience with the team at Meridian Dental since becoming a patient of theirs about 3 or 4 years ago. Both Dr. Gurr and Dr. Pieper have amazing bedside manner, I have never felt like a bother to either of them. They and their entire staff take the time to listen to your concerns and explain procedures as they work with you.”

Kenny M.

“Great service! I had a crown fall off on a Friday night and was able to be seen the next day, a Saturday. Dr Pieper and his staff were very kind, reassuring and helped map out a plan for me. I am a 'senior citizen' and they treated me with respect and transparency. I also feel their prices are totally reasonable and have high hopes that my upcoming dental work will be done well and thoroughly!”

“Accommodating especially with my last minute request for an appointment. Front desk with a great welcoming smile. Very pleasant team members. Dr. Allan was gentle with his hands and his interception to his patient’s. He keeps you informed of what he is doing. I highly recommend this group of dentist. By the way, their clinic is immaculate, clean with nice decors. Discovery channel is what was on while I was waiting for my turn. Nice 4K screen.”

They demonstrated that same care and patience during every procedure/appointment I’ve had. I could not be happier or more relieved after finding the best family dentist. Thank you Meridian Dental, you all are fantastic!”

I also ended up needing a filling and he was able to get it done on the spot. I was in and out in about an hour.”

Steph.

“Today was our first visit after having used the same dentist down south for over 15 years. Needless to say we were apprehensive particularly since my wife has severe Alzheimer’s disease. We found an exceptionally friendly office staff, hygienists and dentist. The modern equipment and approach made everything less stressful and somewhat interesting. Our plan had been to primarily use Meridian Dental for hygienist services while maintaining primary care down south during the winter. But after today, Meridian Dental will become our primary provider.”

The staff are very helpful, smile all the time and know their stuff!! The doc is great and quick and was very precise with where the numbing needed to happen. I usually have numbing up to my eyebrow and down my neck, but not this time. Excellent experience and my kids had a great experience as well. Thank you for being so awesome!!”

Angie.

“I have never had a bad experience here! They have a very friendly staff and Dr. Gurr always does an amazing job at making people feel very comfortable and relaxed. If youre looking to get any kind of dental work done this is hands down the best place in Wasilla. I wouldn't go anywhere else.”
