It is our pleasure and privilege to welcome you to our dentist office in Oxon Hill, MD. Although there have been numerous advances in dentistry of late, the most important element is still the relationship between doctor and patient. We wish to facilitate a comfortable, long-term, respectful relationship between our health care providers and our patients, instilling a confidence that you have chosen the best practice. Dr. Peter Merais office serves the communities of Oxon Hill, Fort Washington, Temple Hills, Clinton, MD, Alexandria, VA and Washington DC.
Any treatment that is recommended is co-diagnosed, meaning that, you and your doctor decide how best to proceed. Treatment options, advantages, prognosis, materials and fees are thoroughly discussed to ensure your complete understanding and long-term satisfaction.
Your teeth become stained naturally as a result of the food and drink that you consume. Dental Whitening uses an ingredient to effectively lift the stain from deep within your enamel. The result is a whiter, more youthful smile! We offer 2 methods of this popular treatment. Our in-office system using a state-of-the-art activation light yields results in about an hour. Our convenient take home system can be used during the day or night and yields maximum results in about 10 to 14 days.
A crown is a protective covering that is bonded or cemented onto your tooth. It is custom made in a dental laboratory by highly qualified technicians using ceramics, noble alloys or a combination of both. A crown may be recommended for a tooth that has a large filling, a root canal or a fracture. A bridge is simply 3 or more crowns linked together. A bridge is recommended to replace a missing tooth or teeth. A bridge helps provide a continuous chewing surface, keeps teeth from drifting out of position, protects teeth and improve aesthetics. Crowns and bridges are quality restorations and are an excellent investment in your long-term dental health.
Even the loss of one tooth can result in the tipping, drifting and erupting of neighboring and opposing teeth. The loss of several teeth can result in the inability to chew and speak effectively. It can also lead to the collapse of your bite causing stress on your jaw joints, facial muscles and a reduction in the vertical dimension of your face. This can create an older facial appearance with noticeable facial lines.
A dental implant is a small titanium post that is surgically placed in the jawbone. Following a period of healing, it will act much like the root of a tooth over which a crown will be placed. Implants can support a single crown, long span bridges and are often used when rehabilitating an entire dentition. They are considered long term restorations and provide excellent results that are comfortable, natural-looking and high functioning.
One of the most innovative advances in dentistry is the ability to straighten your teeth without traditional metal brackets. We use a series of clear, plastic, removable aligners, which are computer generated to gently and progressively alter the position of your teeth until they are correctly aligned. Our patients are seen smiling as much during treatment as after treatment! Ask us if invisible braces are right for you.
The trust you place in our practice by the referral of family and friends is our greatest compliment. We are delighted when a patient refers us and promise to extend the same high-level service you have come to expect.

I really enjoyed my experience with Dr. Merai and his team. I needed braces and he gave me a great price on 3D-printed ones and they turned out great. My bottom teeth were crooked and the braces have straightened them into perfect alignment. I highly recommend Dr. Merai!

I had the most amazing experience here with Dr.Merai and his wife, honestly everyone I spoke with was pleasant and you could tell loves what they do. I felt calm ( I've never had this experience before visiting the dentist) I went in for a consultation and left out with a procedure being done after they noticed how much pain I was in. We laughed and made jokes during and after. I plan on returning and staying with them. If you're looking for someone to trust with you dental health and come across this review please know I feel so much better the pain and issues I had. GONE!

Dr. Merai continues to be an outstanding dentist and individual. His dedication and tenacity in providing the best service to all individuals is to be commended. My friends and family are astonished when I tell them about the level of services he provides. He genuinely cares about his patients as individuals first. He truly represents what good dentistry should be about. I pray that God continue to bless him, his family and his practice. Thanks isn't enough. But, thank you so much Dr. Merai.

I have been a patient of Dr. Merai for several years. I heard of Dr. Merai by listening to a radio station. During the radio broadcast Dr. Merai was describing how oral hygiene affects overall health. Dr. Merai words did not sound like a PR develop ad, so I decided I would visit his office. Dr. Merai is an excellent professional dentist, he will get you the smile you dreamed of. I am very pleased and happy with the end result of my dental care and I'm glad I heard and went to visit Dr. Merai, even though out of my insurance network provider, which says a lot about his work.

I have been searching for a dentist within this area for almost a year....... and I have tried several and was disappointed with the service..... tooth's that I was told that couldn't be fix and had to be taken out.... one day I stumble upon a flyer from Doctor Merai office and I decided to stop by and check them out....... and that was the end of my journey..... am extremely comfortable and happy with the service I have experienced..... from the minute I walk in that office till the second I leave.....I did a root canal, crown and fillings. Every procedure was fully explained and completed in a timely manner.... I would recommend any and everyone to visit Doctor Merai's office.

Dr. Merai has been a Godsend. He has assisted in two emergency dental procedures and calmed my anxiety each time. He has gone above and beyond dental and patient care, staying after hours to accommodate. Highly skilled and recommended. Thanks again Dr. Merai!

Dr. Merai and Dr. Michelle are great people. They are both very knowledgeable and confident in their abilities as dentists. They are also very kind, patient, and professional, and the office environment is welcoming and clean. They are always genuinely concerned about my well-being and how my life is going. They are not only committed to providing excellent service, but are also just great all-around people.

Dr. Merai is freaking awesome! I've only been his patient for a few months, but he's very understanding of my busy schedule. I can call his personal phone or text him when I'm having an issue with my braces. He will come in on weekends if he can. He's VERY NICE , listens attentively to all my concerns, and answers them! If you don't have him as a dentist or orthodontist, you're pretty much losing! I can't wait to see how my teeth come out, but I will be sad to be losing him as a provider!
