Waterfront Dental in Baltimore, MD provides orthodontic care for children and adults, with Dr.
Merguerian offering Invisalign treatment as a specialty option. The practice serves patients seeking clear aligner therapy as an alternative to traditional bracket-and-wire systems. Invisalign uses a series of removable, transparent aligners custom-fabricated to gradually shift teeth into alignment. This treatment addresses spacing issues, crowding, and bite irregularities while allowing patients to maintain a discreet appearance during active orthodontics. Dr. Merguerian evaluates each case to determine candidacy for aligner therapy based on the complexity of tooth movement required. The practice accommodates varied schedules by offering evening hours and virtual consultations, which allow prospective patients to discuss treatment options remotely before committing to an in-person examination. Online booking provides direct access to appointment availability without phone calls. Waterfront Dental accepts CareCredit and offers payment plans to distribute treatment costs over time. These financing options can make orthodontic care more accessible to families and adults managing healthcare expenses within monthly budgets. Patients with 718 reviews have collectively rated the practice 5.0 on Google. The practice serves the Baltimore, MD area and surrounding communities. Individual treatment plans depend on clinical findings from a comprehensive orthodontic evaluation, including diagnostic records and assessment of dental health status prior to appliance delivery.

On time, clean office, pleasant reception, friendly and thorough hygienist. Dr. Mergurian is professional and and very knowledgeable.
They are so so so amazing! The only dentist I trust, they work with you to help you get the care you need. Love that I found them when I moved here.
God I hate driving here. And to go to the dentist? My least favorite activity of all time??? YIKES. But let’s be real, it is SO WORTH IT. I was horrifically traumatized when I was younger by bad dentists so I can’t even go into your average dental office without having an anxiety attack. I’ll cry if you put me in a dentist chair. That said, Everyone here is SO KIND and so professional and the work I’ve had so far has been stellar. The office staff is the best in any Dr office. Legit. I can sit in the chair and get imaging done without bawling at this point! I still need anesthesia to make it through fillings and big scary stuff, but we’ve made huge process and I’m so grateful I made the trek here instead of writing it off for being inconvenient. Best dentist, best assistants, just the best in every way. 1000000/10 hard recommend.
Hands down, the BEST dentist and support staff you can find anywhere! I have extreme anxiety when it comes to anything dental related, and unfortunately was experiencing something that had to be taken care of in a timely manner. Dr Merguerian and her dental assistant Noelle, treated me with such grace and respect. Their patience, empathy, and support- unparalleled. Actually EVERYONE in that office treated me that same way. I now have a new dentist and my anxiety has been reduced. I recommend this practice to everyone. Thank you Waterfront Dental. You are an absolutely amazing establishment!!!
I used to live in Baltimore and now literally travel from DC to still come to get my regular dental appointments done here! Such a inviting and friendly dental office with superior service. Dr. Merguerian is amazing - I would recommend this office to anybody who was looking for a dentist!
