Where Smiles Start

Blending advanced dental technology with heartfelt care, Dr. Karen Mele of Wexford Dental is redefining how families in Wexford experience dentistry—one smile at a time.

In the heart of Wexford, a dental practice is changing how people think about going to the dentist. At Wexford Dental, Dr. Karen Mele leads with a mission that’s as clear as her patients’ post-visit smiles: to enhance both oral health and natural beauty through compassionate, patient-centered care.

Dr. Mele is committed to redefining dental care by offering high-quality, lasting services tailored to meet the unique needs of families and individuals in Wexford and the surrounding communities. Her practice is designed to feel warm and welcoming, helping each patient feel more like a guest than a number on a chart.

High-Tech, High-Touch Care
One of the most distinguishing features of Wexford Dental is its seamless integration of advanced dental technology. From digital imaging and intraoral scanning to minimally invasive procedures, Dr. Mele ensures each patient receives precise, effective care in a calming environment. “Modern dentistry can be both gentle and powerful,” she says. “When you combine innovation with compassion, the result is truly transformative.”

Each treatment plan is personalized. Whether a patient needs preventative care, cosmetic enhancement, or restorative work, Dr. Mele focuses on boosting confidence and long-term wellness. “We’re not just improving teeth—we’re improving lives,” she adds.

Rooted in Relationships
After 15 years of serving the Pittsburgh area, Dr. Mele has built meaningful relationships with her patients. Her warm demeanor and attention to detail have made Wexford Dental a trusted name among local families. “It’s a privilege to be part of someone’s healthcare journey,” she shares. “When you see a child grow up and bring their siblings, or a parent who’s finally smiling again—that’s what makes this work so rewarding.”

Education and Excellence
Dr. Mele’s dedication to excellence extends beyond the office. She is an active member of the American Academy of Facial Esthetics (AAFE), the American Dental Association (ADA), and the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD). She also continues advanced training through the prestigious Kois Center, a post-graduate program for practicing dentists focused on evidence-based dentistry and clinical excellence.

Her expertise has not gone unnoticed. Dr. Mele has been recognized as one of Pittsburgh’s Top Dentists—a distinction that reflects not only her skill, but her unwavering commitment to staying at the forefront of her field.

Giving Back and Staying Grounded
Despite her busy professional life, Dr. Mele is deeply rooted in family and community. Originally from upstate New York, in the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains, she moved to Western Pennsylvania with her husband, Nick, after completing their residencies. Together, they’re raising three energetic boys, staying just as busy at home as they are at work.
Community involvement is a natural extension of her patient-focused approach. Wexford Dental often supports local events and schools, and Dr. Mele enjoys giving back through volunteer work and educational outreach whenever possible. “Wexford is our home,” she says. “It’s important to me to contribute to the health and happiness of our neighbors.”

A Welcoming Dental Home
From the moment you walk into Wexford Dental, the experience feels different. The environment is intentionally relaxing. The team is warm and attentive. And the care is top-notch without being intimidating.

Dr. Mele and her staff take great pride in demystifying dental visits and making sure every patient feels seen and heard. “We’re creating a dental home for our patients,” she says. “It’s about more than teeth—it’s about trust, comfort, and confidence.”

Whether you’re new to the area or just looking for a dentist who truly listens, Wexford Dental is more than a place to care for your smile—it’s a place where smiles start.
