From faster appointments to clearer imaging and more predictable outcomes, our modern dental care approach is designed to help you feel confident, informed, and fully supported every step of the way, right here in Meridian, ID and across the Treasure Valley.
As a trusted Meridian dentist with over 17 years serving families throughout the region, Dr. Daron Lind combines clinical expertise with cutting edge tools to create treatment experiences that feel different from the moment you walk in. Our technology isn’t just about equipment… it’s about enhancing your experience, improving accuracy, and ensuring every treatment is delivered with the highest standard of precision and compassion.
Whether you’re managing ongoing dental concerns, restoring damaged teeth, or simply maintaining your healthiest smile, our technology driven approach means better outcomes, shorter appointments, and greater peace of mind for patients of all ages.
A healthier, brighter smile starts now, and we can’t wait to welcome you to SmileWorks Dental.
Cone Beam CT (CBCT) imaging gives our team an incredibly detailed 3D view of your teeth, jawbone, nerves, and surrounding structures, far beyond what traditional X-rays can show. This level of clarity allows for safer, more accurate planning for dental implants, root canal therapy, tooth extractions, and other complex procedures, helping us protect vital anatomy and avoid complications.
CBCT dental imaging also uses carefully controlled radiation exposure and allows us to diagnose with confidence while prioritizing your safety. For patients considering implants or facing difficult extractions, this technology removes guesswork and provides a level of precision that simply wasn’t possible a decade ago. The result is more precise treatment planning, improved outcomes, and greater peace of mind for our patients throughout Meridian, Boise, Kuna, and Nampa.
SmileWorks Dental combines professional expertise with modern AI dental diagnostics to provide a powerful “second set of eyes” during your exam. Our AI enhanced X-ray technology helps identify early stage concerns, such as tiny cavities, fractures, or bone changes, that may be difficult to detect with the human eye alone.
This proactive approach supports earlier intervention, more conservative treatment, and better long-term oral health. Instead of waiting until a problem becomes painful or expensive to fix, we can address issues while they’re still small and manageable. Patients appreciate the added layer of accuracy and transparency… you’ll see exactly what we see, helping you feel informed and confident in every care decision.
For families searching for family dentistry in Meridian that prioritizes prevention, this technology represents a significant advantage in keeping smiles healthy for years to come.
Posted on Jason GerardTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have seen a few dentists in the Treasure Valley and Dr. Lind is by far the best one! He takes his time with patients and explains the process of whatever procedures I’ve had done over the years in detail, answering any questions along the way. His staff and team of oral hygienists are top notch! I’ve typically had cleanings conducted 4 times a year and they always take the time to make small talk and ensure I’m comfortable through the cleaning experience. It’s not just enough to be a competent and professional dentist these days; especially with all the options available. I’ve had plenty of those over the years and the experience falls flat. Dr. Lind’s personalized and attentive approach goes the extra mile beyond professionalism and separates him from the rest of the competition. I’m also in the Army Guard and every year I have to get a dental form filled out for our Soldier Readiness Processing. In the past it was a hassle to get this form filled out and returned to me by other dental offices. I often waited for up to a week to get the form back, but not with SmileWorks! Dr. Lind is on top of it and I’ve typically received the form back the same day. I highly recommend Dr. Lind and SmileWorks for anyone who wants to be treated with the utmost care and attentiveness for all your dental needs. 5-Stars All The Way!!!Posted on AmyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My son was worried about how painful his root canal might be… Dr. Lind and his entire team were awesome. They are always professional, but really did their best to make sure he was comfortable throughout the procedure. THANK YOU!Posted on Amber AnayaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Smile Works is amazing! I have a very nervous little girl and they were so patient with her, didn’t rush her, and so gentle and caring! All the staff were so great!Posted on Lauren ModicaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just had some cosmetic procedures done for my 13yr old daughter and they were wonderful!!! Office was beautiful! Staff was happy, smiling and everyone we came in contact with, went out of their way to make sure my girl was comfortable throughout the process. Definitely a lovely experience! Thank you Smile Works!Posted on Patti ZimmermanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr Lind and his staff are so accommodating and professional. He really cares about his patients.Posted on Jo NobleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just moved to Idaho and broke a tooth. I called Smileworks as a referral from a friend. The staff was pleasant and friendly. I was seen quickly and had all of my questions answered. They set up a treatment plan for me and explained the charges along with my insurance payments. This was a great experience for someone who doesn’t like the dentist. I have a second appointment to fix my tooth, build the crown and a filling all in the same day.Posted on Armando CostalesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My 92 yr old mother has been going to Dr Lind and Smileworks for nearly two decades. He and his team are the best dental office she has ever had. They have worked skillfully and tirelessly to preserve her teeth, which have been poor all her life. Smileworks are consummate professionals in all aspects of dentistry, including in the latest advances in technology. Dr Lind even made a house call to my mother’s assisted living facility to ensure her smooth recovery from a procedure. Because of my mother’s experience, my spouse and I became patients when we moved to Idaho six years ago. Same outstanding care and assessments from each of us, with a bonus. My spouse has mild-moderate sleep apnea. Dr Lind is also expert in treating this condition with an oral appliance. Smileworks has mitigated the problem nearly completely, without the misery of a CPAP machine. We are nearly 70, and have lived around the world. Smileworks is the best dentistry team we have ever found. Period. Dr Lind is also a leader and skilled trainer. He has built and maintained a top flight team. Smileworks has an excellent in-house insurance plan. We recommend you take the opportunity to place this important part of your health care in the best hands.

I get all my dental done at Smile Works and it's always a great experience.Posted on Mary OBrienTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Compassionate, kind, gentle care, well explained and deftly carried out. Highly recommend.Posted on Humza AlamTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Giving less than five stars to this place should be a crime lol. The doctor is really a nice person and very personable. Staff is great. Overall I had a great experience and will be going back.
Say goodbye to messy, goopy impression trays and uncomfortable gagging. Our intraoral scanner creates highly precise digital impressions using a gentle handheld camera that captures a 3D model of your teeth in just minutes.
Digital dentistry allows for faster appointments, improved treatment accuracy, and restorations that fit more comfortably and naturally. Whether you’re receiving a crown, bridge, or cosmetic restoration, this technology ensures a smoother experience and superior final results without the discomfort of traditional impressions.
The precision also means fewer adjustments, better bite alignment, and restorations that feel natural from day one. Patients consistently tell us how much easier this process is compared to their previous dental experiences, and we’ve found it dramatically improves both comfort and final quality.
Dr. Daron Lind believes exceptional dentistry is built on precision, attention to detail, and a commitment to lifelong oral health. By using advanced 10x magnification dental loupes, he is able to work at a micro level, identifying the smallest imperfections and ensuring every restoration is crafted with exceptional accuracy.
This elevated level of detail supports stronger, longer lasting results and reflects Dr. Lind’s personal philosophy of quality driven care. Every smile we treat is approached with the same care, craftsmanship, and meticulous focus we would want for our own families.
Magnification also allows Dr. Lind to preserve more healthy tooth structure during procedures, remove decay more conservatively, and ensure margins and interfaces are sealed to exacting standards. It’s one of the reasons patients continue to trust SmileWorks Dental for comprehensive dental care year after year.
With CEREC same day crowns, there’s no need for messy impressions, temporary crowns, or multiple appointments. Using digital scanning and in office milling technology, we design, create, and place beautifully precise ceramic crowns and bridges in a single visit.
Patients love the convenience, accuracy, and natural appearance of these restorations, and the ability to restore function and confidence in just one day. It’s modern dental care designed around your time, comfort, and lifestyle.
For busy professionals, parents managing family schedules, or anyone who simply prefers fewer dental visits, CEREC technology eliminates the waiting period and delivers permanent, durable restorations that look and feel just like your natural teeth. You’ll walk in with a damaged tooth and leave the same day with a fully restored, beautiful smile.
Our Biolase Waterlase and Epic Diode laser systems allow us to perform many treatments with less pain, less swelling, and faster healing compared to traditional methods. Laser dentistry preserves more healthy tooth structure, often requires little to no anesthesia, and provides an exceptionally gentle experience.
These advanced dental laser treatments are used for gum disease therapy, root canal procedures, whitening, frenectomy, gingivectomy, treatment of oral lesions, and even cosmetic laser resurfacing. Patients appreciate the comfort first approach and the confidence that comes with minimally invasive, high precision care.
Children and anxious patients especially benefit from laser dentistry, as many procedures can be completed without the sound, vibration, or discomfort of traditional drills. Healing is faster, follow up visits are often unnecessary, and the overall experience feels more like modern medicine than old school dentistry.
As a high tech dentist Meridian families trust, Dr. Lind uses laser technology strategically to improve outcomes while reducing stress and recovery time for patients of all ages.
Your comfort matters, both physically and emotionally. Our overhead TV monitors serve a dual purpose.
During consultations, we use them to display scans, photos, and digital imaging so you can better understand your treatment options and feel fully informed about your care. At the same time, streaming entertainment helps reduce anxiety and create a more relaxing, enjoyable experience during your visit.
It’s part of our commitment to transparent, patient centered dentistry that helps you feel calm, confident, and in control of your oral health journey. When you can see what Dr. Lind sees and understand the “why” behind every recommendation, treatment becomes a collaborative process rather than something happening to you.
At SmileWorks Dental, advanced dental technology isn’t just about innovation… it’s about giving you safer treatment, greater accuracy, improved comfort, and results you can truly feel confident about. From digital dentistry to AI enhanced diagnostics and Waterlase laser treatment, every tool we use is thoughtfully chosen to support healthier smiles and better patient experiences across Meridian and the Treasure Valley.
As a locally trusted Meridian Idaho dental office, we’re proud to offer technology that matches the quality of care you’d find in larger metropolitan areas, combined with the personal attention and genuine relationships you expect from a neighborhood practice. Dr. Lind and our team treat every patient like family, which means taking the time to explain your options, answer your questions, and ensure you feel completely comfortable before any treatment begins.
We also understand that dental care is an investment, which is why we offer our SmilePlan, a simplified affordable dental coverage program designed specifically for patients without dental insurance. It’s one more way we make advanced, compassionate dental care accessible to more families throughout the Treasure Valley.
