The “A Team”

Alongside Dr. Meares is his exceptional team that works to make your visit seamless and stress-free. From the warm smile that greets you at the front desk, to the skilled hands that assist in the treatment rooms, each member is dedicated to your comfort and satisfaction.

Our Personalized Approach

We do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to dentistry. Our mission is to help patients understand their unique needs and to provide the best care. Dr. Meares does not believe he is in the business of fixing teeth; he is a physician of the mouth. We stay up to date with the latest technology to provide comprehensive care to our patients.

A Comfortable Environment

We understand the dentist is not everyone’s favorite place to be. We have created an atmosphere that feels more like a cozy visit and less like a clinical appointment. While we have the latest technology, Dr. Meares takes pride in creating a comfortable environment for our patients. We want you to feel at ease from the moment you walk through the door. Our reception area is stocked with a complimentary coffee bar for you to enjoy. Our treatment rooms have music available for you to listen to while we work. We also offer pillows and blankets to keep you comfortable during your visit.

Join Our Dental Family

Our team at Dr. Meare’s office is here to build lasting relationships. When you’re with us, you’re not just a patient, you’re a valued member of our dental family. Our goal is to educate and provide exceptional oral care. If it is your first time visiting our office, you will notice we do things differently compared to most offices.
