Armelle Metangmo, DDS

I am working as a General dentist at the Portland and Marion locations.

I am a recent graduate from dental school, I started providing patient care during the last two years of school where we provided a wide range of general dental care to our patients.

I am an alumni of IU Indianapolis where I did both my undergrad and dental school. I graduated from dental school in May of 2024 and immediately joined the Meridian family. I chose to come to Meridian because I wanted to be part of an organization that prioritizes access to care for those who may otherwise not have it. Being a provider with Meridian gives me the opportunity to offer care directly to underserved populations, at the same time allows me to make a meaningful impact and give back to the community I serve.

I chose to go into the dental field because I have always been passionate about health care and helping people gain confidence with their smile. I personally saw the impact dental care has on a person, and how it not only affects the physical well-being but also has a big impact on the emotional well-being. I wanted to work in a field where I could combine hands-on skills with the ability to form and maintain a personal connection with my patients.

When my patients come for their visits, I hope they arrive feeling comfortable and cared for, I want them to feel heard and to know that their concern and well-being is my priority. After they leave my office, my goal is for them to feel relieved and informed about their oral health. Most importantly, I want them to leave with a smile, feeling valued and supported.
