About Waterfront Dental
Waterfront Dental is a general dentistry practice located at 221 Key Hwy in the Federal Hill neighborhood of South Baltimore, Maryland. Key Highway runs along the south shore of the Inner Harbor, connecting Federal Hill to the waterfront and the marina district. This address places Waterfront Dental in one of Baltimore’s most active and desirable south-side neighborhoods, convenient for residents of Federal Hill, Riverside, and the surrounding South Baltimore waterfront communities.
The practice provides preventive and general dental services for patients in the area. Routine care at Waterfront Dental includes comprehensive dental examinations, professional teeth cleanings, and personalized oral health assessments. Regular preventive visits give the dentist the opportunity to monitor dental health over time and address developing conditions such as early decay, gum changes, or wear before they progress to the point of requiring more involved treatment.
Restorative dental services are also available for patients who arrive with existing dental concerns or for conditions identified during a routine examination. Whether dealing with a broken tooth, a cavity, or persistent discomfort, the dentist will explain what treatment is recommended and what it will cost before proceeding. Patients are always welcome to ask for a written treatment plan and cost estimate before agreeing to any procedure, and doing so is standard good practice at any dental office.
Key Hwy in Federal Hill offers on-street parking along much of the corridor, and the neighborhood is also served by MTA bus routes that run through South Baltimore and connect to downtown. The Light Rail line along Howard and Baltimore Streets in the Inner Harbor area is within walking distance. The practice serves patients from Federal Hill, Riverside, Otterbein, Locust Point, Westover, and the broader Inner Harbor and south Baltimore waterfront area.
Waterfront Dental is a convenient option for patients who live along the South Baltimore waterfront or who work near the Key Hwy corridor. The 21230 zip code covers a compact but densely residential part of Baltimore, and having a local general dentist on Key Hwy means patients do not need to travel far for routine dental care or to address a dental concern.

The entire team was so supportive, kind and understanding that I didn't have a chance to be nervous or uncomfortable. Definitely recommend without hesitation, especially for anyone who has anxiety about going to the dentist.
Waterfront Dental, Dr. Merguerian and her team are FANTASTIC! Caring. Calming. Friendly. Kind. I’ve had a lot of work done by Dr. M over the years and there is simply no one better! Superior dentist. Wonderful human being! Run, don’t walk if you need fantastic, thorough dental care delivered with gifted, caring hands!
Today was my 1st visit and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Friendly, knowledgeable and helpful staff and Dr Merguerian was fantastic! Dr Merguerian was very patient with me and all my questions. I just wish that I found this place sooner. Great job everyone at Waterfront Dental
On time, clean office, pleasant reception, friendly and thorough hygienist. Dr. Mergurian is professional and and very knowledgeable.
This is a great place. Frieddly staff. They take time to carefully review your dental needs. I highly 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!!!
My initial evaluation at the practice was today. It was the most comprehensive examination that I have had in years - maybe, in my life. Check-in and check-out were quick and efficient. My dental assistant, Noel, was kind, professional, and clearly knew her job. Dr. Merguerian was very personable, yet highly professional. During the course of my evaluation, she clearly explained what she was doing, why she was doing it, and both what the results were and what they meant for my care. I left my appointment confident that I was receiving much more than a basic check-up. Thus far, I am very pleased with my experience with the practice, and I am happy that I made the switch from my prior dentist.
I always feel comfortable and at ease when I go to Waterfront Dental. I had avoided the dentist for years with how anxious I was but once I saw the reviews I was willing to give it a try. Over the past two years they have taken out my wisdom teeth, which I dreaded, done major gum cleanings/ work, and now I am maintaining some great progress with my dental health. Thank you for your patience and ability to explain things out for me. All the staff is welcoming and sweet!
Great experience at the dentist today. The hygienist, Fernando was gentle, quick and complete. He had an incredible bedside manner and made the experience so much easier than normal. Dr Dawn M has a great practice here. She and the entire group are kind, welcoming and very compassionate. They have the latest dental technology. I’ve been a patient here for over two years, since my previous dentist closed shop. Thanks Waterfront team.
Everyone is so approachable and so nice. They make everything really comfortable and don’t try to sell you things you don’t need and it’s nice.
