Adam Smith

May 08, 2024

This place was really great until they sold out to a private equity firm. Now they are clearly PE metrics driven and the service and staffing quality have suffered as a direct result. I have had more than one appointment cancelled by the office due to staffing shortages, only to be offered dates 6-8 weeks after my initial appointment. I’m hopeful they can sort this out, but they are getting onto some pretty thin ice as far as I am concerned.

I was a patient here for 15 years and just found out that Dr. Ellefson has left the practice to teach. They didn't bother to send out any notices to patients to let them know.

Dr. Ellefson is no longer my dentist. I have been dealing with gum pain for over two years habitually reporting pain. After seeing another dentist there and getting similar treatment, I went to anther Dentist. The new dentist immediately gave me a root canal and antibiotics. Now my jaw has absolutely no pain. She is also much better looking!!!

Casondra Oldaker

Feb 15, 2024

I love coming here. I always have a great experience. I had to switch doctors due to a change in my schedule. They made sure I was aware that changing my days would affect who my dentist would be and made sure I was comfortable with that change. They take a preventative approach and make sure you are aware of the state of your dental health and help you make a plan to avoid issues coming up later. I've never encountered someone whom I didn't have a good interaction with at this office. Would highly recommend!

— Thank you for the 5-star review, Casondra! We are so glad you are happy with your experience with us! We take great pride in providing the very best in care for our patients.

Dr. Ellefson is outstanding ! Never had a better dentist! The office staff are all excellent. A special thanks to TANA for getting me in quickly due to address an absess which was extremely painful.

Monique Baker

May 05, 2023

Grateful I found this place! Dr. Baker is extremely kind & comfortable to talk too. The whole staff was very friendly & welcoming. I just have to add this after again getting work done here . I've had an irrational fear of the dentist for a very long time. The energy of the dentist plays a huge roll in patients like me. I'm so comfortable here because every single one of those ladies especially Dr.Baker is so nice & comforting. In other places I felt judged & the staff was all disconnected & cold. Not here! Again I'm grateful for this place!

Mar 03, 2023

I was worked in as an emergency visit and I could not be more pleased with the treatment I received. All the way from the receptionist that answered the phone and scheduled me, to the assistant that roomed me , took the history of the need for the visit and made sure to get the appropriate xrays to identify the issue to Dr Baker. They all listened carefully to my explanation of the type of pain I was having and narrowing it down to one specific tooth. She discussed my treatment plan with me and offered multiple treatment options. Gave a prescription for antibiotics asked if I was able to manage the pain with OTC meds, answered all of my questions and concerns. I was told of my copay for the upcoming procedure and scheduled to return before I even left the room. This office and staff and extremely efficient, knowledgeable and considerate.

Bill Buerk

Feb 03, 2023

I called this dental office on 2-2-23 I have a chipped tooth and needed fixed asap. I called numerous places with no issues at all, and this location was absolutely disrespectful over the phone, The lady answering the phone and office manager are a joke!! I was laughed at and hung up on over my 2 different insurance coverages that I have. This place profiles people, discriminates and belittles them! Stay away from a place like this!! There is numerous other locations you can go to! (I hate that I have to give one star because that’s not even deserved) I will be looking to take the necessary steps needed to make sure this doesn’t happen again to anyone else, I’m positive I’m not the first.

I have had some bad experiences with dentist, not doing work but charging my insurance company. This place was upfront about charges. I liked the fact they did all the work in one visit, I needed 3 fillings. Dr. Tammy Baker and the staff are wonderful.

Have been going to merit dental for many years and I continue to return because of the friendly and compassionate staff as well as a very clean/sterile environment. They continue to be sensitive to my comfort at all times during any dental procedure. Highly recommend this group.

Portia Thompkins

Sep 08, 2022

My family and I have been going to Merit Dental for approximately 10 years and I have to say, we loved them from the start. They came recommended by my co-worker and I’ll tell you, they were and still are the right fit for my family and I. I had a fear of dentist from a previous experience and had stopped going for many years. Well, they got my teeth together and eased my fears and I haven’t looked back since. My kids who are not kids anymore loved them then and continue to love them to this day. I highly recommend there services to anyone looking for a dentist. My only suggestion as an ex insurance agent, is to ensure they take your insurance prior to booking you an appointment. Another great appointment down! I really need to get my new hygienist name programmed in my head because I love her! She is so gentle with my cleanings and keep me on point.

— Hi Portia, we love hearing feedback like this from our patients. Thanks again for choosing us!

The other day, I had another enjoyable visit at Merit Dental in Kettering. Layne was upbeat and great with teeth cleaning, and gave me some very helpful suggestions for home care. Dr. Baker was both cheery and supportive. I have been coming to this practice for a little while now, after a self-imposed dental care sabbatical. Never once have the folks here allowed me to feel badly about not keeping up with things. Rather, they have gotten me back on board with dental care.

They are caring, they listen, and really take time to make sure they understand your condition, apprehensions and/fears. I needed extensive work, and had my fears but Dr Ellefson had his suggestions and then came up with a treatment plan that I took part in. The support staff are wonderful as are the hygienists. I have recently switched my whole family here. Thank you.

Both my parents are patients of Dr. Baker. They speak limited English so I always worry about them when they go to medical appointments without me. My dad has been back and forth to this office for a problem tooth and each time, he raves about how well the staff treats him. It warms my heart to hear that they try their best to communicate with him and treat him well. I’ve also always experienced wonderful service when calling for appointments and questions. We highly recommend this office!

I went it for a deep cleaning, and Jennifer L was the lady who took great care of me. After explaining the procedure well, she went to work, and everything went smooth and painless. She would check in every few minutes to make sure I wasn't uncomfortable, which I never was. The result was just awesome! I couldn't be more excited and happy with the entire process and the result. I highly recommend Merit Dental in Kettering; from the minute you walk through the door until the minute you’re back out, you’ll feel welcomed, taken care of and at ease. Great dentist office!

Dr. Ellefson is absolutely the best most caring dentist. I had a bad cavity with an exposed nerve that hurt so bad I couldn't sleep at nights. I had tried to call every oral surgeon in the Dayton area to pull my tooth and couldn't get in for weeks. I made an appointment for Dr. Ellefson who squeezed me in for a consultation on a Friday afternoon. He saw the pain I was in, he gave me options and in between other patients he pulled my tooth when nobody else would. He really cares about you as a person and it shows everytime I see him

I went for my first visit last week and had a great experience. The staff was friendly and their equipment was modern. My previous dentist retired and Merit has an office close to home for me. It was such a positive experience that I look forward to my next visit.

I had to have both bottom wisdom teeth pulled and a filling on the same day. Dr Erik Ellefson was wonderful. I was very nervous about my wisdom teeth being pulling but they told me everything that they were doing before and during procedure. It went fast. The staff their are very friendly. I would highly recommend this office.

This is a wonderful office. Everyone is very friendly and professional. Dr. Baker is great. She's friendly and funny and I hope I don't have to change my dentist again. My insurance requirement has forced me to change dentists four times in the last number of years. I hope I get to stay here for a while.

They were great, let me know my options of treatment with pricing, and postponed their lunch to fix me. I really appreciated it. They walked me through each step of the treatment calmly and patiently. I was really uncomfortable when my tooth broke and feel so much better now.

The receptionist, Jade, was very helpful and liked my Super Mario Bros shirt. My hygienist and Dr. Ellison did a stellar job with everything else. And I got free floss. Been going here for decades, they're the best

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.

MJ Kinnis

Aug 29, 2020

Very friendly and competent staff. My dentist was professional and knowledgeable, but wasn’t overly pushy in trying to “sell” a procedure (as I have experienced with other dentists). The office was exceptionally clean and comfortable. They follow proper Covid precautions with care.

The staff was very friendly and professional. I had an unexpected dental situation that needed attention right away and Dr Neely was very accommodating and worked me in right away. The hygienist, Mrs. Zingle, made me feel at ease and did an exceptional job. I have attended 2 other dental offices in the past and they can't come close to Merit dental.

I have been a patient of this office for years, prior to it being Merit Dental. I absolutely trust the doctors here and would 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.

Brooke Heikes

Nov 05, 2018

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.

Anne Troup

Jun 28, 2018

Dr. Eric Ellefson is a life line for me. I mean literally, I don't know what I would do without him. Debbie the hygienist, is top notch in my opinion. I would have to look long and hard to find such care and compassion.

Redbluff

May 10, 2018

New dentist replaced Grabeman. My first visit with her and she tells me I need a bunch of xrays and a cap on one tooth which Grabeman said nothing about 6 months earlier. They are a money grab machine and always want to cap your teeth. Horrible.

My wife Lois, and I are one of the oldest patients of Dr. Grabeman. Over many years, he and his staff have consistently treated us like family, and well. In January of 2017, I had my 3rd. or 4th, root canal. A little uncomfortable, but oh, what a relief to get rid of this infection. We have recommended him and his staff to many family and friends. They are a s satisfied as we are, with the treatment they recieved.

Without a doubt, the best dentist in the universe. I thought, "all dentists alike--what is so hard?" Dr Grabeman successfully saved a tooth that had been poorly handled by previous dentists. Everyone in the office is highly competant and friendly.

Christina B

Jun 29, 2016

Dr. Grabeman is an amazing dentist. I cracked a tooth and had to get it pulled. I started crying because I was scared. He sat and talked with me about it and made sure I was comfortable. He explained everything he was doing and took it slow. He even called me at 8:30pm that night to make sure I was doing okay. I won't be going anywhere else but here!

Adam Smith

May 08, 2024

This place was really great until they sold out to a private equity firm. Now they are clearly PE metrics driven and the service and staffing quality have suffered as a direct result. I have had more than one appointment cancelled by the office due to staffing shortages, only to be offered dates 6-8 weeks after my initial appointment. I’m hopeful they can sort this out, but they are getting onto some pretty thin ice as far as I am concerned.

Anne Pierce

Dr. Ellefson is no longer my dentist. I have been dealing with gum pain for over two years habitually reporting pain. After seeing another dentist there and getting similar treatment, I went to anther Dentist. The new dentist immediately gave me a root canal and antibiotics. Now my jaw has absolutely no pain. She is also much better looking!!!

Casondra Oldaker

Feb 15, 2024

I love coming here. I always have a great experience. I had to switch doctors due to a change in my schedule. They made sure I was aware that changing my days would affect who my dentist would be and made sure I was comfortable with that change. They take a preventative approach and make sure you are aware of the state of your dental health and help you make a plan to avoid issues coming up later. I've never encountered someone whom I didn't have a good interaction with at this office. Would highly recommend!

— Thank you for the 5-star review, Casondra! We are so glad you are happy with your experience with us! We take great pride in providing the very best in care for our patients.

Monique Baker

May 05, 2023

Grateful I found this place! Dr. Baker is extremely kind & comfortable to talk too. The whole staff was very friendly & welcoming. I just have to add this after again getting work done here . I've had an irrational fear of the dentist for a very long time. The energy of the dentist plays a huge roll in patients like me. I'm so comfortable here because every single one of those ladies especially Dr.Baker is so nice & comforting. In other places I felt judged & the staff was all disconnected & cold. Not here! Again I'm grateful for this place!

Mar 03, 2023

I was worked in as an emergency visit and I could not be more pleased with the treatment I received. All the way from the receptionist that answered the phone and scheduled me, to the assistant that roomed me , took the history of the need for the visit and made sure to get the appropriate xrays to identify the issue to Dr Baker. They all listened carefully to my explanation of the type of pain I was having and narrowing it down to one specific tooth. She discussed my treatment plan with me and offered multiple treatment options. Gave a prescription for antibiotics asked if I was able to manage the pain with OTC meds, answered all of my questions and concerns. I was told of my copay for the upcoming procedure and scheduled to return before I even left the room. This office and staff and extremely efficient, knowledgeable and considerate.

Bill Buerk

Feb 03, 2023

I called this dental office on 2-2-23 I have a chipped tooth and needed fixed asap. I called numerous places with no issues at all, and this location was absolutely disrespectful over the phone, The lady answering the phone and office manager are a joke!! I was laughed at and hung up on over my 2 different insurance coverages that I have. This place profiles people, discriminates and belittles them! Stay away from a place like this!! There is numerous other locations you can go to! (I hate that I have to give one star because that’s not even deserved) I will be looking to take the necessary steps needed to make sure this doesn’t happen again to anyone else, I’m positive I’m not the first.

Portia Thompkins

Sep 08, 2022

My family and I have been going to Merit Dental for approximately 10 years and I have to say, we loved them from the start. They came recommended by my co-worker and I’ll tell you, they were and still are the right fit for my family and I. I had a fear of dentist from a previous experience and had stopped going for many years. Well, they got my teeth together and eased my fears and I haven’t looked back since. My kids who are not kids anymore loved them then and continue to love them to this day. I highly recommend there services to anyone looking for a dentist. My only suggestion as an ex insurance agent, is to ensure they take your insurance prior to booking you an appointment. Another great appointment down! I really need to get my new hygienist name programmed in my head because I love her! She is so gentle with my cleanings and keep me on point.

This is by far the best dentistry I have ever been to. Because of previous traumatic experiences, I avoided dentists at all costs until I came to Dr. Baker. She is amazing!

I had a cleaning yesterday with Layne! She was excellent. I usually have an aversion to dental trips, but she was very kind and made the experience simple and painless.

John Nichols

Mar 22, 2022

The other day, I had another enjoyable visit at Merit Dental in Kettering. Layne was upbeat and great with teeth cleaning, and gave me some very helpful suggestions for home care. Dr. Baker was both cheery and supportive. I have been coming to this practice for a little while now, after a self-imposed dental care sabbatical. Never once have the folks here allowed me to feel badly about not keeping up with things. Rather, they have gotten me back on board with dental care.

— Thank you for the 5-star review, John! We are so glad you are happy with your experience with us! We take great pride in providing the very best in care for our patients.

I have spent my time in the dental chair over the years and I will have to say this is the best dentist, and practice I have found. They are caring, they listen, and really take time to make sure they understand your condition, apprehensions and/fears. I needed extensive work, and had my fears but Dr Ellefson had his suggestions and then came up with a treatment plan that I took part in. The support staff are wonderful as are the hygienists. I have recently switched my whole family here. Thank you.

She recommended the H2O Floss water pick to help me with my dental care--something I'm definitely going to look into. I was in and out in a jiffy while my teeth came out looking spiffy. :)

Both my parents are patients of Dr. Baker. They speak limited English so I always worry about them when they go to medical appointments without me. My dad has been back and forth to this office for a problem tooth and each time, he raves about how well the staff treats him. It warms my heart to hear that they try their best to communicate with him and treat him well. I’ve also always experienced wonderful service when calling for appointments and questions. We highly recommend this office!

I went it for a deep cleaning, and Jennifer L was the lady who took great care of me. After explaining the procedure well, she went to work, and everything went smooth and painless. She would check in every few minutes to make sure I wasn't uncomfortable, which I never was. The result was just awesome! I couldn't be more excited and happy with the entire process and the result. I highly recommend Merit Dental in Kettering; from the minute you walk through the door until the minute you’re back out, you’ll feel welcomed, taken care of and at ease. Great dentist office!

Dr. Ellefson is absolutely the best most caring dentist. I had a bad cavity with an exposed nerve that hurt so bad I couldn't sleep at nights. I had tried to call every oral surgeon in the Dayton area to pull my tooth and couldn't get in for weeks. I made an appointment for Dr. Ellefson who squeezed me in for a consultation on a Friday afternoon. He saw the pain I was in, he gave me options and in between other patients he pulled my tooth when nobody else would. He really cares about you as a person and it shows everytime I see him

Jane Brown

Mar 03, 2021

I went for my first visit last week and had a great experience. The staff was friendly and their equipment was modern. My previous dentist retired and Merit has an office close to home for me. It was such a positive experience that I look forward to my next visit.

I had to have both bottom wisdom teeth pulled and a filling on the same day. Dr Erik Ellefson was wonderful.

I would highly recommend this office.

Irene Miller

Aug 29, 2020

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.

MJ Kinnis

Aug 29, 2020

Very friendly and competent staff. My dentist was professional and knowledgeable, but wasn’t overly pushy in trying to “sell” a procedure (as I have experienced with other dentists). The office was exceptionally clean and comfortable. They follow proper Covid precautions with care.

I have been a patient of this office for years, prior to it being Merit Dental. I absolutely trust the doctors here and would 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.

Brooke Heikes

Nov 05, 2018

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.

Anne Troup

Jun 28, 2018

Dr. Eric Ellefson is a life line for me. I mean literally, I don't know what I would do without him. Debbie the hygienist, is top notch in my opinion. I would have to look long and hard to find such care and compassion.

Redbluff

May 10, 2018

New dentist replaced Grabeman. My first visit with her and she tells me I need a bunch of xrays and a cap on one tooth which Grabeman said nothing about 6 months earlier. They are a money grab machine and always want to cap your teeth. Horrible.

Without a doubt, South Dayton Family Dentistry is one of the most patient centered, caring and responsive practice that I have ever encountered.

My wife Lois, and I are one of the oldest patients of Dr. Grabeman. Over many years, he and his staff have consistently treated us like family, and well. In January of 2017, I had my 3rd. or 4th, root canal. A little uncomfortable, but oh, what a relief to get rid of this infection. We have recommended him and his staff to many family and friends. They are a s satisfied as we are, with the treatment they recieved.

We love Dr. Ellefson and Dr. Grabeman! We first found this practice when we were new in town and I had lost a filling. Dr. Ellefson fit me in the next day (and I wasn't even an existing patient). We've been so happy there ever since. My little kids even love going. Front desk staff and hygienists are also wonderful. I highly recommend this group.

chuck rodabaugh

Aug 01, 2016

Without a doubt, the best dentist in the universe. I thought, "all dentists alike--what is so hard?" Dr Grabeman successfully saved a tooth that had been poorly handled by previous dentists. Everyone in the office is highly competant and friendly.

Christina B

Jun 29, 2016

Dr. Grabeman is an amazing dentist. I cracked a tooth and had to get it pulled. I started crying because I was scared. He sat and talked with me about it and made sure I was comfortable. He explained everything he was doing and took it slow. He even called me at 8:30pm that night to make sure I was doing okay. I won't be going anywhere else but here!

I was recommended to the practice by a friend about 2 years ago. I absolutely love the staff. Everyone is always very precessional and friendly and they always run on time. No such thing as showing up on time for your appointment & then waiting 30+ minutes to be seen like every other medical office. I am so glad to have found this office & recommend them to everyone else as well!!!

Adam Smith

May 08, 2024

This place was really great until they sold out to a private equity firm. Now they are clearly PE metrics driven and the service and staffing quality have suffered as a direct result. I have had more than one appointment cancelled by the office due to staffing shortages, only to be offered dates 6-8 weeks after my initial appointment. I’m hopeful they can sort this out, but they are getting onto some pretty thin ice as far as I am concerned.

Dr. Ellefson is no longer my dentist. I have been dealing with gum pain for over two years habitually reporting pain. After seeing another dentist there and getting similar treatment, I went to anther Dentist. The new dentist immediately gave me a root canal and antibiotics. Now my jaw has absolutely no pain. She is also much better looking!!!

Casondra Oldaker

Feb 15, 2024

I love coming here. I always have a great experience. I had to switch doctors due to a change in my schedule. They made sure I was aware that changing my days would affect who my dentist would be and made sure I was comfortable with that change. They take a preventative approach and make sure you are aware of the state of your dental health and help you make a plan to avoid issues coming up later. I've never encountered someone whom I didn't have a good interaction with at this office. Would highly recommend!

— Thank you for the 5-star review, Casondra! We are so glad you are happy with your experience with us! We take great pride in providing the very best in care for our patients.

Dr. Ellefson is outstanding ! Never had a better dentist! The office staff are all excellent. A special thanks to TANA for getting me in quickly due to address an absess which was extremely painful.

Monique Baker

May 05, 2023

Grateful I found this place! Dr. Baker is extremely kind & comfortable to talk too. The whole staff was very friendly & welcoming. I just have to add this after again getting work done here . I've had an irrational fear of the dentist for a very long time. The energy of the dentist plays a huge roll in patients like me. I'm so comfortable here because every single one of those ladies especially Dr.Baker is so nice & comforting. In other places I felt judged & the staff was all disconnected & cold. Not here! Again I'm grateful for this place!

I have been going to see Merit Dental since 2009 - 10. They take time with you and listen to your concerns. And this is coming from someone who was terrified of dentists and very rough hygienists. They are so kind and gentle. I will always refer someone to them every time.

Jennifer Curtis-Gomer

Mar 03, 2023

I was worked in as an emergency visit and I could not be more pleased with the treatment I received. All the way from the receptionist that answered the phone and scheduled me, to the assistant that roomed me , took the history of the need for the visit and made sure to get the appropriate xrays to identify the issue to Dr Baker. They all listened carefully to my explanation of the type of pain I was having and narrowing it down to one specific tooth. She discussed my treatment plan with me and offered multiple treatment options. Gave a prescription for antibiotics asked if I was able to manage the pain with OTC meds, answered all of my questions and concerns. I was told of my copay for the upcoming procedure and scheduled to return before I even left the room. This office and staff and extremely efficient, knowledgeable and considerate.

Bill Buerk

Feb 03, 2023

I called this dental office on 2-2-23 I have a chipped tooth and needed fixed asap. I called numerous places with no issues at all, and this location was absolutely disrespectful over the phone, The lady answering the phone and office manager are a joke!! I was laughed at and hung up on over my 2 different insurance coverages that I have. This place profiles people, discriminates and belittles them! Stay away from a place like this!! There is numerous other locations you can go to! (I hate that I have to give one star because that’s not even deserved) I will be looking to take the necessary steps needed to make sure this doesn’t happen again to anyone else, I’m positive I’m not the first.

Portia Thompkins

Sep 08, 2022

My family and I have been going to Merit Dental for approximately 10 years and I have to say, we loved them from the start. They came recommended by my co-worker and I’ll tell you, they were and still are the right fit for my family and I. I had a fear of dentist from a previous experience and had stopped going for many years. Well, they got my teeth together and eased my fears and I haven’t looked back since. My kids who are not kids anymore loved them then and continue to love them to this day. I highly recommend there services to anyone looking for a dentist. My only suggestion as an ex insurance agent, is to ensure they take your insurance prior to booking you an appointment. Another great appointment down! I really need to get my new hygienist name programmed in my head because I love her! She is so gentle with my cleanings and keep me on point.

I had a cleaning yesterday with Layne! She was excellent. I usually have an aversion to dental trips, but she was very kind and made the experience simple and painless. Plus, I had to call today to reschedule an appointment last minute and they were kind and helped me get rebooked. I’d highly recommend coming here!

— Thank you for the kind words Dominic. I'm going to share with the whole team. We love hearing from our happy customers!

John Nichols

The other day, I had another enjoyable visit at Merit Dental in Kettering. Layne was upbeat and great with teeth cleaning, and gave me some very helpful suggestions for home care. Dr. Baker was both cheery and supportive. I have been coming to this practice for a little while now, after a self-imposed dental care sabbatical. Never once have the folks here allowed me to feel badly about not keeping up with things. Rather, they have gotten me back on board with dental care.

— Thank you for the 5-star review, John! We are so glad you are happy with your experience with us! We take great pride in providing the very best in care for our patients.

I have spent my time in the dental chair over the years and I will have to say this is the best dentist, and practice I have found. They are caring, they listen, and really take time to make sure they understand your condition, apprehensions and/fears. I needed extensive work, and had my fears but Dr Ellefson had his suggestions and then came up with a treatment plan that I took part in. The support staff are wonderful as are the hygienists. I have recently switched my whole family here. Thank you.

Dr. Ellefson is the greatest. Kudos to the whole staff.

She recommended the H2O Floss water pick to help me with my dental care--something I'm definitely going to look into. I was in and out in a jiffy while my teeth came out looking spiffy. :)

Both my parents are patients of Dr. Baker. They speak limited English so I always worry about them when they go to medical appointments without me. My dad has been back and forth to this office for a problem tooth and each time, he raves about how well the staff treats him. It warms my heart to hear that they try their best to communicate with him and treat him well. I’ve also always experienced wonderful service when calling for appointments and questions. We highly recommend this office!

I went it for a deep cleaning, and Jennifer L was the lady who took great care of me. After explaining the procedure well, she went to work, and everything went smooth and painless. She would check in every few minutes to make sure I wasn't uncomfortable, which I never was. The result was just awesome! I couldn't be more excited and happy with the entire process and the result. I highly recommend Merit Dental in Kettering; from the minute you walk through the door until the minute you’re back out, you’ll feel welcomed, taken care of and at ease. Great dentist office!

Dr. Ellefson is absolutely the best most caring dentist. I had a bad cavity with an exposed nerve that hurt so bad I couldn't sleep at nights. I had tried to call every oral surgeon in the Dayton area to pull my tooth and couldn't get in for weeks. I made an appointment for Dr. Ellefson who squeezed me in for a consultation on a Friday afternoon. He saw the pain I was in, he gave me options and in between other patients he pulled my tooth when nobody else would. He really cares about you as a person and it shows everytime I see him

Jane Brown

Mar 03, 2021

I went for my first visit last week and had a great experience. The staff was friendly and their equipment was modern. My previous dentist retired and Merit has an office close to home for me. It was such a positive experience that I look forward to my next visit.

I had to have both bottom wisdom teeth pulled and a filling on the same day. Dr Erik Ellefson was wonderful.

I would highly recommend this office.

Irene Miller

Aug 29, 2020

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.

MJ Kinnis

Aug 29, 2020

Very friendly and competent staff. My dentist was professional and knowledgeable, but wasn’t overly pushy in trying to “sell” a procedure (as I have experienced with other dentists). The office was exceptionally clean and comfortable. They follow proper Covid precautions with care.

I have been a patient of this office for years, prior to it being Merit Dental. I absolutely trust the doctors here and would 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.

Anne Troup

Jun 28, 2018

Dr. Eric Ellefson is a life line for me. I mean literally, I don't know what I would do without him. Debbie the hygienist, is top notch in my opinion. I would have to look long and hard to find such care and compassion.

New dentist replaced Grabeman. My first visit with her and she tells me I need a bunch of xrays and a cap on one tooth which Grabeman said nothing about 6 months earlier. They are a money grab machine and always want to cap your teeth. Horrible.

My wife and I are both patients at South Dayton Family Dentistry, and we are very happy with the care we get from Dr. Grabeman and all his staff! We have recommended the office to a number of our friends.

My daughter and I have gone to Dr Grabeman for over 10 years. He is not only an excellent dentist, but is genuinely one of the most caring people I know. My daughter and I would never go to anyone else.

My wife Lois, and I are one of the oldest patients of Dr. Grabeman. Over many years, he and his staff have consistently treated us like family, and well. In January of 2017, I had my 3rd. or 4th, root canal. A little uncomfortable, but oh, what a relief to get rid of this infection. We have recommended him and his staff to many family and friends. They are a s satisfied as we are, with the treatment they recieved.

I had an excellent experience. I am not a fan of dentist and the cleaning that I had was great and Dr. Tom Grabeman did a super job on a tooth repair. Everyone I have met there are very professional and manage to have a smile always.

I'm a new patient and was very happy with the professionalism. I had asked around and this group came highly recommend by more than one person. I'm very happy with my choice.

I was a new patient to DDS Erik Ellefson and my experience was great. He's a top notch Dentist that I would recommend! He squeezed me in on a busy day. I thought my visit would be painful but he and his assistant that day made it painless!

We love Dr. Ellefson and Dr. Grabeman! We first found this practice when we were new in town and I had lost a filling. Dr. Ellefson fit me in the next day (and I wasn't even an existing patient). We've been so happy there ever since. My little kids even love going. Front desk staff and hygienists are also wonderful. I highly recommend this group.

Dr. Grabeman is awesome -professionally competent and personally charming! The fact that he shares his knowledge with OSU students now shows how willing he is to pass on what he knows. One of the best dentists EVER! Trudy Krisher

Without a doubt, the best dentist in the universe. I thought, "all dentists alike--what is so hard?" Dr Grabeman successfully saved a tooth that had been poorly handled by previous dentists. Everyone in the office is highly competant and friendly.

Dr. Grabeman is an amazing dentist. I cracked a tooth and had to get it pulled. I started crying because I was scared. He sat and talked with me about it and made sure I was comfortable. He explained everything he was doing and took it slow. He even called me at 8:30pm that night to make sure I was doing okay. I won't be going anywhere else but here!

I took a chance on South Dayton Family Dentistry and Dr. Ellefson coming from a bad experience. Boy did my switch pay off! The staff from the front door to the dentist's chair have been great! I would refer them in a second and am appreciative of the great care and service.

I was recommended to the practice by a friend about 2 years ago. I absolutely love the staff. Everyone is always very precessional and friendly and they always run on time. No such thing as showing up on time for your appointment & then waiting 30+ minutes to be seen like every other medical office. I am so glad to have found this office & recommend them to everyone else as well!!!
