At Mertz Family Dentistry, we take the dread out of dentistry. It’s a different kind of dental appointment here — one with first-rate care in a warm environment and a commitment that we’ll never recommend services you don’t actually need.
So, sit back and relax. We’re committed to protecting your teeth, your nerves, and your wallet.
Just because you lose a tooth doesn’t mean you’re doomed forever to an embarrassing smile or difficulty chewing. Dental implants are a practical and permanent solution that our team can provide by surgically placing an anchor for a replacement tooth.
At Mertz Family Dentistry, dental implants happen in three phases:
1. A skilled dentist places the post into the jawbone
2. The area heals and undergoes osseointegration, which means it combines with the bone to create a solid foundation.
3. An artificial tooth is placed securely onto the implant.
We are here because we love to help.
