Meridian, ID Dentists | 122 Ranked

Eagle Road, Ten Mile or north Meridian for dental visits?

Meridian's dental care spans the Eagle Road corridor, central Linder Road and the northwestern side near Cherry Lane. The trip can change when a first exam leads to several visits. Think through the office location and later referrals when comparing Meridian dental choices.

South Eagle Road puts care near I-84 and the hospital area. East Central Drive has university dental care, while East Florence Drive adds an income-based option. Ten Mile Road and East Gala Street have offices with posted membership prices. These places give you several ways to compare treatment and payment.

University dental treatment on East Central Drive

Idaho State University's Meridian clinic provides general dental care through its advanced dental residency. The clinic treats children and adults at 1311 East Central Drive. Its services include fillings, root canals, implants, crowns and dentures. A first exam includes dental X-rays and an itemized treatment plan.

Clinic hours are Tuesday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Friday visits run from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

ISU discounts use household income and size. The ceiling is 200% of the federal poverty guideline. Staff review your proof each year, and noncovered care can qualify. Marked clinic spaces have free patient parking.

Reduced dental fees at Meridian's Florence Drive clinic

Terry Reilly provides dental care at 3115 East Florence Drive. The Meridian clinic number is 208-991-2963. The same site has medical, counseling and pharmacy services, which can help a household seeking several kinds of care. Its dental team includes English-Spanish speakers.

Existing patients can apply for a fee discount even with insurance. The usual income ceiling is 200% of the federal poverty guideline. Family size also counts toward the fee. Proof of income must arrive within 30 days of signing.

Once approved, the discount lasts 12 months. An unfinished application leaves full fees due.

The discount applies to care at Terry Reilly. A referral elsewhere has its own payment terms. That matters if an exam leads to oral surgery or gum treatment with another office.

What does an uninsured Meridian cleaning plan cost?

Mountain View Pointe Dental lists a $250 annual Healthy Mouth Plan at its East Gala Street office. It includes 2 adult cleanings, 2 exams and front- and back-tooth X-rays. You must lack dental insurance and pay before the first visit. The fee cannot be refunded.

That plan works only at Mountain View Pointe. Limited exams have a separate discounted charge, and outside specialist referrals are excluded. The office is at 2201 East Gala Street. Those terms make the plan most useful when comparing a year's routine care with the work you actually need.

Alliance Dental Care posts a $25 monthly membership at 270 South Ten Mile Road, Suite 100. It includes 2 cleanings, exams and X-rays. Other work has member prices, which require an active plan. Compare that monthly cost with a year's prepaid care.

Posted Meridian implant and denture prices

Alliance's member price for a lower denture supported by 2 implants is $4,500. Its upper or lower denture with 4 implants is $8,000. The office says these single-arch packages include needed extractions, bone grafting, a surgical guide, implant parts, temporary teeth and the final teeth. These are that office's membership prices.

The same fee list gives $13,999 per arch for its zirconia All-on-X bridge. The materials and support differ from a removable denture, so compare the finished teeth in each proposal. A plan for implant care should explain the treatment and later upkeep, as well as the total for replacing missing teeth.

Idaho Smiles dental benefits for Meridian adults

Idaho Medicaid gives adults age 21 and older access to Enhanced Dental Benefits through Idaho Smiles. MCNA Dental manages the program. Adults on the Basic and Pregnant Women's plans also receive that dental benefit. MCNA states that adult benefits have no maximum.

The plan's network search and member team can help you find a participating office. Match the exact location and planned treatment before scheduling. The member line, 855-233-6262, also arranges free interpreter services for dental visits. This can help when discussing a root canal and its payment.

Children's care and braces in Meridian

For children's dentistry, Meridian offers 20 listed choices to compare. ISU's Meridian service includes children's preventive care and options for hospital-based surgery. A child who needs a different treatment setting can discuss that route at the dental visit.

A child's dental care depends on age, comfort and the work needed. For longer orthodontic treatment, include adjustment and retainer visits in the plan. A school-day trip from north Meridian can shape the choice of location for braces or aligners.

Urgent tooth care and ISU's existing-patient line

ISU gives its existing dental patients an after-hours number, 208-921-5136. A resident dentist returns messages. That service is for people already under the clinic's care. New patients with a painful tooth need to contact a treating office for an urgent dental assessment.

St. Luke's Meridian has an emergency department at 520 South Eagle Road. Call 911 for life-threatening symptoms, including trouble breathing or severe spreading swelling. Medical emergency care addresses that danger; a dentist still needs to assess the tooth and its dental treatment.

Donated dental care for older or disabled Meridian adults

Idaho's Donated Dental Services program helps people unable to afford care who meet a health or age rule. Age over 65 is one route to qualify. A lasting disability or a dental need tied to essential medical care can also qualify. Volunteers provide planned treatment, with no emergency or cosmetic service.

A Meridian ride program for approved medical destinations

Meridian Medical Transportation provides free shared rides for eligible city residents. You must lack a ride and have no Medicaid transport benefit. VRT confirms the site fits the service. It covers approved Ada County medical sites outside the Rides2Wellness clinic list.

Booking runs from 2 business days to 14 days ahead of the visit. Service operates weekdays from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.

A return ride needs its own booking. For dental treatment, confirm the office qualifies and explain any discharge or escort needs before relying on this transport.

Checking the dentist and considering nearby Treasure Valley care

Idaho's dentistry board lets you check the person who will treat you. For sedation, the relevant permit also matters. Establish who performs each part of treatment and who handles problems afterward. A laboratory makes dental appliances; the treating professional is responsible for the care plan.

Eagle and Boise offer other locations east of Meridian. Nampa, Kuna and Star add choices in other directions. Weigh coverage and every follow-up trip before moving a longer care plan to another town.
