I enjoy spending time with my fiancée and friends. I like getting in a good workout on the rowing machine and swimming to stay active. Watching football is always a blast, especially when Michigan or the Green Bay Packers are playing. Plus, caring for my two bunnies is always a joy!
I always aim to give a thorough check-up every time a patient comes to see me. I want to make sure they understand the risks and benefits of different treatment options so they can choose what works best for them. My goal is to provide the most up-to-date dental care in a comfortable, welcoming environment. And if they ever have questions, I’m always happy to chat and help explain things.
We offer flexible dental financing terms and accept a variety of payment choices.

I didn’t know that I could love going to the dentist before going to Merit! They are the BEST!
Dr B is fantastic. I seen him for the first time a little over a year ago. I am scared to death of dentists. Not anymore. He was so gentle and talked me through everything. I recommend everyone to go to Merit. And all the staff treat you like family.

Best Dental office ever, and very professional, clean, and they take really good care of your teeth best cleaning ever.
Michelle was great!!
They treat our entire family and due to personal situations, they have showed so much compassion to us and especially our Mema!! So grateful for their sincere caring for us! And no we pay every visit, it's not about the money, they really do care!!
I love this office from the front desk, to the clinical staff, I can’t say enough! Professional, from the moment you enter,I feel well cared for always.
I've been coming here for at least 25 years now with no plans of going anywhere else! The staff has always been wonderful and hopefully always will be!

great dentist ...staff are awesome
I LOVE THEM!
Absolutely love Dr. Brystowski and the staff at this location! Colleen is always so patient, answers all of my questions, helps with any concerns I have with my insurance. Marylynn is hilarious and makes my cleanings bearable. All of the ladies in this office are amazing, the staff is happy, they remember your name, and overall it's just a great feeling to be in a place where people enjoy their work. Dr. Brystowski is patient, thorough, and truly spends time when I'm in his chair to ensure that all of my concerns are addressed. I initially came to this office because of issues that I had with my prior dentist, and I am so glad that I did. Dr. B was able to find a problem with a root canal that had been done prior and got me to a endodontist immediately to have it taken care of. I've been a patient ever since.
the Merit staff is always friendly and professional
I’ve been coming here for years the best staff and dentist work here awesome place I would recommend to anyone to come here!
We started going to Merit dental almost 8 years ago when we moved into the Saint Clair Shores area. Right from the beginning my family and I have had great experiences with them.They have been very accommodating with schedules and or any pain visits. The office has always been very clean. The dental hygienist Michele and office manager Colleen are always so pleasant. I would highly recommend Merit dental the Saint Clair Shores location.
This is the best dental office in the area and I’d easily recommend to anyone!! From the second you walk in you’re treated like family. All the staff here are extremely knowledgeable and personable and can quickly put your mind at ease. Marilyn is an AMAZING hygienist who is always ready to crack a joke with you & no matter how busy Colleen is, she’ll make sure to have a quick chat and make you feel welcome. Thankful that I found such an amazing office that truly cares. <3

Great place to go to the dentist everyone there is great !
Let me preface this with I have struggled with finding a great office since Dr. Ockner was down at 12 and Harper. Yesterday was my first visit and immediately the office has a very welcoming feeling. The girls running the desk are so kind when you come in. Marylyn (?) and Michelle are great hygenists. They were so funny and super informed on the work being performed. Dr. B has such great plans in mind and immediately was able to get me a referral for an oral surgeon. This office is a well oiled machine and their hospitality is through the roof. I look forward to my next visit in hopes that it will be as great as this one.
Dr. B and his team are fantastic. Very professional and kind from the moment you walk in the door. IDr. B has a calming demeanor and makes me feel very comfortable while in the chair. I highly recommend this team for your dental care.
Dr. B brought new services and skill to the office along with his fantastic personality and chair side manner. Extra shout out to the most kind, courteous and personable staff! I feel like I’m catching up with my friends at each appointment.
Been a great experience, staff is knowledgable and kind, listen to feedback and put patients at ease
Clean comfortable environment with exceptional service and customer service as always❣️ I was in some pain and they took me in right away!
Michelle is wonderful and a delight.
I have been going to this location for many years. I love the service, they take good care of me.
Absolutely wonderful dental office! I broke a tooth and they got me in right away and temporarily fixed it until I could come back for my crown. Highly recommend this office as they are all very friendly and accommodating!
Office is great! Our family has been coming here for 30 years.
I have been a patient for over 30 years and I love my dentist office! The front desk and office staff are wonderful! They treat you like family. I can’t wait to come every time I leave!
The experience I had was very nice. Everyone was very polite and friendly. Very happy I made this choice for my dental care
I had a great experience at Merit Dental. Staff is very friendly and professional. Would recommend them to anyone looking for a new dentist.
Highly recommend!
Great service as always..... been coming here for over 45yrs, and while the practice has changed hands only a couple times as the former dentists and hygienists have retired, the staff have remained friendly and reliable.
A+++++ We felt very welcomed from the moment we walked in. Everyone was nice, helpful and the dentist and hygienist were amazing. Highly recommended!
Everyone is so friendly and helpful here! I love Dr. Brystowski, he is kind, skilled and gentle. Marylyn the dental hygentist is amazing with her teachings about taking care of our teeth! She is the best I have ever had! Everyone seems very trustworthy and skilled which to me is the most important part!
10/10 Recommend. I had fallen off track with my dental care after my childhood dentist retired. I was so nervous for my initial consultation due to not getting my teeth cleaned regularly for a few years. From the moment I walked through the door everyone was very welcoming! Dr. Brystowski was very polite and professional! My dental hygienist Marilyn was the best!! She has my teeth looking beautiful again! Definitely pleased with this office and all the staff!
Merit Dental is a great dental office Friendly & professional staff that takes care of you - Big thank you to Coleen, Grace, Kayleigh, Marilyn, & Dr. Brystowski. Extremely considerate, kind, and perceptive staff that ensures I had the best & most comfortable experience possible Highly recommend
My hygienist is the best. She does a very good job cleaning my teeth. She makes the process painless. I also injoy the conversations we have before and after the cleaning.
My family and I have been going to Merit Dental in St. Clair Shores for over twelve years. Staff is friendly and the service is top notch!
Caring staff that put up with me
New Dr. B. Very nice. My hygienist was very good. Michelle made me comfortable.
Great staff great doctor. Easy to make an appointment. Not any waiting time.
Dr. Brystowski and Marilyn were great!
I have extreme anxiety when it comes to the dentist. I had multiple bad experiences in the past and this is the last place I wanted to be. However, this experience was completely different. Michelle, my hygienist was FABULOUS. Michelle made me feel so comfortable in the most uncomfortable time. She did everything to distract me during my deep cleaning. Colleen and Pam who work in the office are so very kind, there energy is like they have known you forever. Dr. B was also wonderful. He took the time to explain things and with the help of Michelle, I will have the best smile for my upcoming wedding. I HIGHLY recommend Merit, especially if you are a nervous nelly like I am. Thank you Michelle and all the staff at Merit. I will see you in December for my next cleaning!
Dr. Tisdale and the whole staff are amazing! They are attentive to your dental needs and make sure you are seen as soon as possible for regular maintenance, or on an emergency basis.
Comfortable with dentist and staff first visit my new dental family
Not many can say they look forward to a Dentist appointment. I, however do. Their number one asset is that the whole staff know their jobs snd do them professionally.
Everyone in this office is so friendly and helpful. Plus they explained everything they were doing so I could understand.
I went to see Merit Dental for a plan to fix my teeth . I hadn't been to a dentist in a couple of years so I needed some work done . Dr Tisdale was very nice a forthright about all aspects of what I needed . Fair pricing and very upfront about everything. I highly recommend this dentist office.
Everyone is friendly and helpful. They take the displeasure out of a
Michelle is the BEST dental hygienist ever. I absolutely HATE going to the dentist.. more than the average person due to past experiences. Ever since I've been coming to Dr. Tisdale's office it has been nothing but wonderful. Michelle puts me at ease by making me laugh. Dr. Tisdale is always very gentle and explains what he's doing in detail. Colleen and the office manager always make you feel welcome and appreciated as a patient.
Staff is always so kind and accommodating to the best of their abilities. Dr. Tisdale is a wonderful dentist and puts my mind at ease. They won’t push anything you don’t need and is considerate of nerves and anxieties related to getting dental care. Wonderful office!
I am just like my dad when it comes to dentist visits and care of my teeth. Scared, uneasy, and sensitive. However, everyone made it comfortable as they always do for me as well as my dad which is why we stayed with Merit Dental. Dr. Miller was great and will be missed but you can tell that Merit Dental expects the same type of care out of everyone since we received once again great care and consideration of how we feel about dental work and regular visits. Great job, great care, and excellent service as my dad has always taught me will bring a client back. Dawson Sicher and Jeremiah Sicher(DAD)
Dr. Tisdale and staff were awesome.
Have been going here for years! Everyone is very friendly and they take care of all of your needs and questions.
Everyone was informative and so kind. Best dental experience I’ve had.

The dentists Dr. Tisdale and Dr. Miller are excellent. Had crown done by Dr. Miller and it is perfect. Would highly recommend this office. Very clean. Very professional!! They all make me feel so welcomed! Thanks to all the staff at Merit for excellent Dental Care.
Dr. Tisdale has been my dentist for years and I wouldn't go to any other dentist. He knows I can't stand pain and does everything he can to cause no pain. Just had an appointment this week. NO PAIN AT ALL. Also, everyone in the office is friendly and patient.
I have been going here for more than 20 years. Dr. Tisdale is the finest dentist I know. The staff are professional and friendly. They make an experience that you otherwise would not look forward to MUCH more pleasant. You cannot go wrong, here.
I had my teeth cleaned yesterday by Jennifer Turnquist and she did an amazing job. She made me feel very comfortable, explained what she was going to do, and got me out on time as I was 15 min late. Most importantly, NO PAIN! I really appreciate her knowledge of dentistry and passion for what she does. Thank you and I will be back and refer Jennifer to some of my friends and co-workers.
SIMPLY THE BEST MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE FAMILY VERY PROFESSIONAL
I have been going to Shores Dental (Merit Dental now) for over 20 years. Dr. Tisdale is the best! The whole office is kind and friendly and I wouldn't go anywhere else.
Excellent dental office. I have been a patient for 20 years. Dr. Tisdale and Dr. Hull are the best. Very easy to get an appointment when there is an unexpected problem with my teeth. Convenient office hours around work schedules. All the staff are very friendly and helpful.
I cannot say enough about the Excellence in care that Shores Dental Center,P.C. provides. The girls at the front reception area are friendly, caring, and knowledgeable. They always know who I am and make a point to ask me how everything is. They even remembered my daughters soccer tournament, from the last time I was in. Dr. Hull and Dr. Tisdale provide top notch dental care. The office takes digital x-rays, which is a bonus in my book. The hygienists are absolutely wonderful! I would and have recommended this office a million times over. If you are looking for a dentist that is up to date with technology and has great chair side manners, Shores Dental Center is for you!
