Dr. Erik Meckel is the Lead Dentist at Forest Family Dentistry's Anderson Lane location in Austin, bringing over 10 years of experience and a genuinely personable approach that patients notice right away. A proud Longhor who earned his Biology degree from the University of Texas at Austin before going on to complete his Doctor of Dental Surgery at Texas A&M College of Dentistry, Dr. Meckel has deep roots in Texas and an equally deep commitment to the community he serves.

He actually began his career at Forest Family Dentistry earlier on and returning as lead provider felt like a natural fit. The practice's commitment to delivering exceptional, modern dentistry with real compassion and transparency mirrors exactly the kind of dentist he set out to be. His approach to care is always tailored to the individual, whether that means a straightforward preventive visit, a cosmetic smile enhancer, or a more invloved restorative procedure.

Dr. Meckel is nitrous oxide certified and offers sedation dentistry to make sure every patient feels comfortable and at ease, especially those who experience dental anxiety or who are coming in for longer appointments. He is also fluent in Spanish, which allows him to connect with and care for a wonderfully diverse patient community across Austin in a way that feels personal and welcoming.

He is committed to staying at the forefront of dental technology and technique through ongoing continuing education, always looking for ways to make visits more efficient, more comfortable, and more effective for the people in his chair.

Outside the clinic he enjoys spending time with his family, getting out of the golf course, staying active, traveling, and relaxing at home with his two dogs.

If you are looking for a trusted family or cosmetic dentist in North Austin, Dr. Meckel would love to take care of you at Forest Family Dentistry on Anderson Lane.
