Meredith obtained her training during a three-year apprenticeship to a German Master Dental Technician. Meredith is certified by:
My relationship with Meredith has spanned more than two decades. Thirty years ago, I introduced dental microscopes into my practice and immediately realized that things would never be the same. I worked with several prominent laboratories but none of them could elevate the work to my new standard. When I asked Meredith if she was up to the challenge, she was excited, and that excitement is still there twenty years later.
Meredith possesses that rare blend of intelligence, artistic flair, and common sense for problem solving. I gifted her a Global surgical microscope in the beginning, and she has made good use of it. The marginal integrity of her work is unparalleled. Meredith has embraced the technological advances of today without losing her classical training and principles. Technology can’t fix everything or do everything by itself.
I whole heartedly recommend that you consider giving Meredith a chance to let her show you the magic.
I have known Meredith for 20 years. Her attention to detail and desire to ensure that cases turn out well, while meeting the needs of both the dentist and the patient, are unparalleled. She consistently comes up with great ideas for cases and is adept at assisting with treatment planning.
Her knowledge is invaluable for cases requiring assistance. One example that stands out is when I was working on a case and she took the time to bring the patient to her lab to customize the denture with the specific shape of teeth that the patient desired. This particular case was an All-on-Four, and she invested a lot of time and attention to detail, always ensuring that everything was done right.

Athena Dental Arts Studio specializes in crown and bridge restorative, prosthetic and cosmetic dental cases, all-ceramic, as well as, traditional porcelain fused to gold frameworks. Services customized for your patients and practice.
All Ceramic
At Athena Dental Arts Studio, we offer premium quality metal free restorations in a variety of materials. They can be made to replace natural tooth structures or to accommodate Implant Customized Abutments. We can use a Lithium Disilicate with either Ivoclar Emax or GC LiSi to achieve extremely life-like results. We also use Sagemax Zirconia which comes in a variety of options to create beautiful, strong crowns and bridges that last a long time. All of these materials can also be layered with ceramic powders for an added custom esthetic for discerning Doctors and their Patients.
Porcelain Veneers
At Athena Dental Arts Studio, we manufacture top-quality dental veneers in various all-ceramic materials to ensure exceptional quality and durability. Our veneers are designed to correct tooth gaps, misalignments, discoloration, and chipped or cracked teeth, helping your patients achieve their ideal smiles. Thanks to recent advancements in the dental field, we offer a wide range of veneer options that require no preparation to the natural tooth and provide easier color matching than ever before. Our veneer ceramics deliver an optimized, natural look with enhanced translucency for visible tooth surfaces.
Full Dentures
Natural-looking dentures should take into account not only the proper arrangement of the teeth, but also the patient’s skin tone, face shape, gender, tooth form, and color. Our dentures are designed to promote self-cleansing and a natural tissue appearance.
Our full dentures consist of a PMMA acrylic base that is colored to resemble gum tissue and supports a full set of composite or porcelain teeth. The traditional full denture is held in place by forming a seal with the gums. Alternatively, they can be attached to dental implants surgically placed in the jawbone. However, this treatment is more expensive than traditional complete dentures.
Partial Dentures
Ideal for patients with at least one natural tooth remaining in their mouth, partial dentures help maintain a beautiful smile and prevent remaining natural teeth from shifting.
With the advancement in Dental CAD/CAM digital technologies, our lab technicians are able to design and fabricate partial and hybrid dentures with unparalleled accuracy and predictability. Our high-quality removables can correct several dental issues to ensure your patients feel excited about their smile again.
Athena Dental Arts Studio has been a leader in dental implants and digital dentistry for over 30 years. Our lab offers comprehensive implant planning services, advanced digital workflow technology, and an average 7-10 day turnaround time. We take pride in our low .5% remake and adjustment rate.
Guided Implant Dentistry
This technology was created for dentists who want a preplanned, predictable guided All-On-X style surgery. This service provides anchored bite verification, anchored bone reduction, anchored site drilling, accurate anchored provisionalization, and a way to transfer all surgical and restorative information for the final restorative conversion phase. In most cases, only a CT scan and traditional records are needed.
We provide custom shading and staining services to create natural-looking anterior restorations that seamlessly blend in with the patient’s natural teeth. This involves matching the patient’s tooth shade using the Vita 3D Master guide and Classic shade tabs. We also use photography to document the shade and characteristics for reference during fabrication. Custom staining is done with the patient present to ensure an exact match, and the final restoration is completed at a bisque stage before being taken to the dentist for cementation.
We create Crown Tattoos, also known as cosmetic decals. Add a custom photo to your crown! Meredith at Athena Dental Arts Studio has over 35 years of experience and is well known in the industry.
We specialize in creating Digital Custom Smile Designs that can be milled in PMMA acrylic to try on your new smile.
Three-dimensional intraoral scanning is an exciting advancement in dental imaging technology. Patients are particularly pleased with this new technology.
3D intraoral scanning involves creating a digital replica of your teeth. Unlike two-dimensional intraoral photography, intraoral scanning produces a three-dimensional model of the teeth.
Intraoral scanners use a small, wand-shaped camera to capture thousands of tiny images of the teeth. As the camera scans over every surface of the teeth, these images are immediately converted into a digital model visible on a connected computer screen. The dental professional can monitor the building model and make adjustments or corrections during scanning to ensure a complete and accurate picture of your teeth.
