- Dental ExaminationPlease arrive 15 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment and plan to spend between 60 – 90 minutes in our office. You will receive a comprehensive oral examination and x-rays to help your dentist assess your oral health. Our Doctors will look for signs of...
- X-rays
- Teeth CleaningPreventive Dentistry is the practice of caring for your teeth to keep them healthy. This helps to avoid cavities, gum disease, enamel wear, and more. There are many forms of Preventive Dentistry, such as daily brushing and dental cleanings.
- Fluoride TreatmentWill take special care of your teeth through a thorough cleaning and through the use of fluoride treatments, which will help strengthen the teeth for the future
- Dental SealantsDental sealant is a thin, plastic coating painted on the chewing surfaces of teeth — usually the back teeth (the premolars and molars) — to prevent tooth decay. The sealant quickly bonds into the depressions and grooves of the teeth, forming a protective shield over the enamel of each tooth.
- Resin CompositeBonding is a simple cosmetic dentistry procedure that allows us to improve the aesthetics of teeth with minor dental flaws. Using composite resin, a tooth-colored material, our dentists can repair teeth that have chipped, decayed, or cracked. After the procedure, which usually requires just one appointment at Wellpoint Dental in Meridian, your smile will be radiant once again! For more information on cosmetic bonding, please contact us today.
- VeneersIf you are looking for a sure-fire way to improve your smile, consider veneers. Veneers are tooth-colored shells, often made of porcelain, which our dentists will place on the front surface of the teeth. Once in place, veneers can restore teeth that are misshapen, crooked, stained, uneven, and chipped, and they can even close an unwanted gap between two teeth. Veneers are an effective and aesthetically-pleasing treatment option for anyone looking to enhance the beauty of their smile. To learn more about veneers and cosmetic dentistry, we invite you to call Wellpoint Dental in Meridian and schedule your cosmetic consultation soon.
- CrownsPerhaps the closest restorations to natural teeth, dental implants are designed to replace both the crown and root of a missing tooth. The dentists at Wellpoint Dental in Meridian have the ability to use dental implants to replace one or more missing teeth.
- BridgesA tooth or teeth may need to be extracted (removed) for many different reasons. These can include severe caries (cavities), periodontal disease, or infection. Our doctors will ensure you are comfortable before starting any procedure. The missing tooth can then be restored with a dental implant or a dental bridge. Ask our dentists which option is best for you.

- Root Canal TreatmentDental crowns are designed to completely encase the surface of teeth to restore teeth’s shape and size. When in place, dental crowns (which are often made of tooth-colored porcelain or composite resin) can add strength and beauty to imperfect teeth. Dental crowns can be used to protect teeth that have recently received root canal therapy and they can also be used to complete a dental implant. If you are interested in learning more about the many benefits of tooth-colored dental crowns and cosmetic dentistry, please call or visit Wellpoint Dental in Meridian today.
- DenturesImplants can be used to support an implant restoration, which can be a denture, a crown, or a bridge. The procedure takes several months to complete, but when in place, dental implants will restore beauty, strength, function, and support to your mouth and smile. If you are missing any of your natural teeth, please call our office today to learn more about the benefits of implant dentistry. We look forward to completing your smile!

- General DentistryAt Wellpoint Dental in Meridian, we can remove the third molars (wisdom teeth) when necessary. Wisdom teeth removal may become necessary if the wisdom teeth are impacted and/or if they cause or could cause serious problems with your oral health. These include pain, tooth decay, periodontal (gum) disease, infection, tumors, cysts, and damage to the surrounding teeth. Removing the wisdom teeth can be a pain-free, relaxing process, thanks to our iv sedation.
