I am a dichotomy. I have had almost every dental procedure there is, jaw surgery, fillings, braces, extractions, root canals etc. but I also haven’t been to a dentist in 19 years because of bad experiences from aforementioned procedures. But I had to go, I had a pretty bad infection in the root of a molar and anti biopics weren’t helping. 1. They got me in that day. Big plus. 2. I had to wait a little but they also took Covid precautions very seriously which I appreciate and expect from a medical facility. 3. Most importantly Dr. Ellefson was not only “friendly” but he had an adult conversation with me about what was wrong and what my options were. I felt comfortable and well informed. I was not lectured or talked at or down to. He was considerate of my anxieties and specifically discussed what they could do to alleviate my fear. It was clean and professional but more importantly they treat patients like people with feelings and emotions not like cattle with insurance. Oh and the prices were fair and reasonable. I may update to 5 stars. I’m having 2 molars extracted next week and I’ll update after we see how that goes. But highly recommend.

Merit Dental Kettering seems to have problems with staffing. Twice they have cancelled appointments due to staffing issues. Once was prior to COVID and the second instance happened this month. The problem is that they do not reschedule within a timely manner. For example, the most recent appointment that was cancelled was scheduled for August 31st. This was for a 6 month cleaning. Due to a dental assistant leaving the practice, they cancelled the appointment and could not fit my son in until March 2021. This means my son would go over a year without seeing a dentist. This is not acceptable and this has happened twice. We will probably be finding another dentist that manages their staffing issues appropriately. Until Merit Dental Kettering can effectively manage their staffing issues, I would not recommend them.

I continue to go to this office even after moving 45 minutes away. I had another dentist tell me my child needed 5 fillings and a root canal. Dr. Ellefson examined her and fixed the shoddy work and she didn't need any fillings or a root canal. If they tell you you need something done then you do.

I recently visited Merit Dental in Kettering to have work done on my two front teeth. One of them was chipped on two sides, two old fillings needed replaced and something done with a bad stain on one of the teeth. Dr. Tammy Baker and her expert assistant(sorry, didn't catch her name, but she had a great smile) took the time to do the very best they could to give me my smile back. When they were finished and I looked at my teeth in the mirror, I was utterly shocked at how great my teeth looked! I never thought they could look this good again! Thank you both for your time and talent. A VERY satisfied patient. Edward McIntosh

My kids had two different hygienists. One we loved but the other one just did not make it feel like we use too. The same with the staff up front. It is not a bad thing but I went her when it was not a corporate dental. We like the feel of a dentist who knows you and you are not just a number but a person. I missed that the last time I went here😢 I one the next time it will be more like the dentist I went to before it became a corporate run dental office.

I had a horrible experience with South Dayton Dentistry! My insurance changed so I had to change dentist. My first visit was a cleaning. I was told that with my insurance we had one free cleaning a year. Received a $150 bill. When I addressed this I was told that my cleaning wasn’t covered because they did a “Deep Cleaning” that was never mentioned until the bill came. My second visit I had a cavity drilled and filled. Dr. Baker had catch up session with the dental assistant for the entire 45 minutes she was working on my teeth! The conversation should of happened on their own time. Gossip for entire 45 minutes!! Unprofessional.

Cindy Beckman

★ Sep 29, 2018

I (and my two sisters and our families) have been patients of Dr. Grabeman for nearly 40 years. When he sold the practice to a large corporation a few years ago, we didn't notice much change. Once Dr. Grabeman retired, we noticed that our routine visits included procedures that were previously not recommended that were now deemed as necessary - deep cleaning scaling and root planing, in particular. My sister was told her teeth could not be cleaned because she needed planing, and then was billed for the cleaning that had not been done! When I refused the periodontal probing that the hygienist wanted to perform ( the results of which would be used to insist on planing, I'm sure), I was told my cleaning would have to be done twice. It appears to me that this office is manufacturing reasons to make money at the expense of their patients and the insurance companies - never mind the fact that it can be painful to the patient. I will never return to this office. Not sure why I'm appearing as "A Google User" - my name is Cindy Beckman.
