Our PhilosophyGreat dentistry should
Great dentistry should
feel precise, personal,
and effortless.
Meridian was built on a quiet conviction: skilled dentistry does not need to feel clinical, hurried, or transactional. Our rooms are warm. Our schedule is unhurried. And our care is designed around the person in the chair.
We work with each patient over years, not appointments — planning restorative and cosmetic work like architecture, in phases, with materials and craftsmanship that outlast the trend cycle.
“We treat teeth as part of a face, and a face as part of a person. Everything else follows from that.”
Elena Marchetti, DMDFounder
ServicesCare that is quietly
Care that is quietly
comprehensive.
A concentrated set of specialties, each led by Dr. Marchetti and a small team who have worked together for over a decade.
Veneers, bonding, and whitening, planned around your face. Digital previews and handcrafted porcelain bring every detail into focus.
Thoughtful prevention, comprehensive examinations, and careful maintenance. A long-term relationship with your health, one unhurried visit at a time.
Precisely planned implants that restore the way you eat, speak, and smile. Digital imaging guides a considered approach from foundation to finish.
Discreet alignment with a clearly mapped plan. We consider balance, bite, and the details that make a smile feel naturally yours.
Measured, phased care for teeth that need more attention. Beautiful materials and considered craftsmanship restore strength and everyday comfort.
Clear guidance when something cannot wait. Call the practice to discuss your concern and the next appropriate step in your care.

The ExperienceEvery visit, designed
Every visit, designed
with intention.
Small, deliberate details shape the difference between a dental appointment and an afternoon you actually do not mind.
Modern imaging, quiet interface.
In-house CBCT, intraoral scanning, and digital smile design — but the technology stays with us. You see the drawings, not the software.
Plans you can read.
Every proposal arrives as a considered dossier — findings, phased treatment, materials, timeline, and cost — before you are asked to decide anything.
Comfort as a standard, not an upgrade.
Weighted linens, noise-cancelling audio, cashmere throws, and oral sedation when it helps. All included. Nothing marketed.
The OfficeMaterials that
Materials that
calm the room.
A 3,400-square-foot studio in Newport Beach — travertine, white oak, brushed brass, and light that shifts slowly across the day.

Yes. Most restorative and cosmetic plans are designed in thoughtful phases, balancing health, timing, and budget without compromising the final result.
Unhurried visits, clear explanations, quiet rooms, comfort amenities, and optional oral sedation are built into the experience. Tell us what has made dentistry difficult before; we will plan around it.
