When Cambridge native Meredith Todd, DDS, purchased the iconic Harbor Dental Center seven years ago, she did so with the mission to revolutionize the care of its patients by advancing the technologies and procedures offered at the practice, which originally opened in 1972.

“We aim to bridge the gap between dentistry and medicine to enable people to be healthier, maintain their dignity and live long, amazing lives,” said Dr. Todd. “We commit to being at the forefront of our field and giving our patients the best care that we can, with kindness and compassion.”

Dr. Todd evolved Harbor Dental Center into the premier dental office for patients who desire high-quality dentistry delivered with a gentle touch in a comfortable atmosphere. Its advancements include laser treatments for gum disease, TMJ treatment and sleep apnea treatment.

“Harbor Dental Center is a wellness-based dental office and not just ‘drill and fill,’” Dr. Todd said. “The mouth is integrally connected to your overall health, so we encourage dental health and prevention as part of an overall healthy lifestyle.

“As a native of Cambridge myself, I love that I know many of my patients personally, and I give each and every one of them the same level of care I give my family members,” Dr. Todd continued. “We strive to never lose that small, hometown feel and for each patient to have personalized experiences that make them feel special and appreciated.
