No one loves going to the dentist, but Dr. Silva and his staff made the experience a truly pain free experience. I had a crown replaced and another tooth got a new crown. I felt welcomed as I entered the office. Savanna took great care with my cleaning. Dr. Silva and Kim were amazing prepping my teeth for the new crowns. The front office staff really do their best with scheduling, reception and check out. It's difficult to find a dentist who treats patients as family, and I'm glad to be a part of it. Thank you!

— Thank you for taking a few moments to leave us a 5-star review, John. We really appreciate it!

Highly professional and friendly team. I was quite satisfied with the procedures. The process was thoroughly explained to me so that I’ll be comfortable with what needs to be done. As we all may know, insurance companies are very conservative when it comes to dental procedures. Merit Dental walked me through all the available options which helped reduce my out-of-pocket costs. And that's Merit.

— Thank you for the 5-star review, Davidson! Your feedback is important to us.

I had a really great time at the dentist! The ladies at the front were so nice and friendly. Savanna did my cleaning, and she was super caring and made sure I was okay the whole time. Dr. Silva was awesome too! He explained everything so I could understand it (getting a crown). I would tell anyone to come here—they're the best!

— Thanks for making us smile, Jonathan! We appreciate your review.

Dr. Silva put crowns on all my teeth. Through the procedure, I never felt any pain. Dr. Silva is an outstanding dentist! He is knowledgeable, conscientious, meticulous, and compassionate; making sure that the patient is comfortable and feeling no pain. He follows up with check-ups on the procedure to make sure everything is healing well. His staff is friendly, courteous and welcoming to the patients; and, his practice is immaculately clean. I definitely will be his patient for the rest of my life. Going to Merit Dental, you will never be disappointed. I highly recommend Merit Dental!!

— Hi Jenean, thank you for your review. We really appreciate it!

I’m in the dental chair every 3 months for cleaning, a check up and whatever may be necessary so I’m speaking from experience. Even though I miss Mary Beth (retired) Kim has been great. Everyone is friendly, thoughtful and thorough. Dr Silva is personable, knowledgeable and kind. Prices are very reasonable and office staff is always helpful.

— Hello, Kathy! Thank you so much for taking a few moments to leave us a review. We really appreciate it!

Velissa Seiler

Jul 03, 2024

My 5 year old son and I had our first dental appointment for a routine cleaning. The staff and doctor was absolutely amazing, kind, patient, caring, and friendly. More than exceeded my expectations. I was really nervous about going because we loved our last dental office. We could no longer attend due to change in insurance. I was also a little nervous about my son not being with me but I could hear him and I could hear how well the staff was taking care of him. They were so kind and patient with him. They also did a lot of different things (more advanced) that made me feel comfortable as I was getting my teeth cleaned. I'm so happy the switch was as easy as it was. I look forward to a keeping them as my permanent dentist.

— Hi Velissa, thank you for your 5-star review, we really appreciate it! We're going to share it with the whole team.

I've had a few bad dental offices and dentists . So happy I was.given this office as a referral from my insurance provider

I was nervous going because the Google Reviews are SO phenomenal so I knew it would be either really good or really bad. Well, they definitely live up to the hype! Super friendly, communicative, up front and comforting. My teeth feel super clean and I’m ready for the rest of my treatment! Would 10/10 recommend!

I found this office through my insurance and came in not knowing what to expect. From the front desk, to the dental assistant, to the dentist was nothing short of amazing. Everyone including other patients treated me with such kindness. I’m so excited to have found an affordable permanent dentist close to home.

Best Service Ever! As someone who isn’t to fond of dentist work highly recommend Dr. Silva. He made sure to go above and beyond to make my experience painless and quick. From the front desk to the back rooms nothing but great attitude and atmosphere. Throughout the whole procedure Dr. Silva made sure I wasn’t in any type of pain or discomfort. Assured me that if we had to stop there was no problem at all as me being comfortable was the main priority. During the procedure I didn’t feel anything no pain or discomfort. I was very impressed by how quickly the procedure was done by Dr. Silva and his team. Highly recommend don’t plan on ever going anywhere else and Im sure everyone else will do the same after being treated by Merit Dental!

— Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, Vl. We really appreciate you sharing your experience with us.

Cydni Smith

May 20, 2024

I had a terrible experience at Corner Dental in Maumee, where they placed a crown in my tooth that fell out 10 times. I called them to see if they could put it back in, and they told me I would have to go 4 weeks without a tooth before they could get me in! I called Merit Dental and they could see me THAT day. From the receptionist, to the assistant, to the dentist, they put me at ease and were very professional and kind. I will be a patient there from now on. It is easy to find location wise, I’d give them 10 stars if Google would allow! Definitely visit this office. They won’t dissapoint!

— Thank you for taking a few moments to leave us a 5-star review, Cydni. We really appreciate it!

Amazing experience! Haven’t had the greatest experiences at the dentist in my life beforehand so I am a little uneasy when it comes to dental work.

I am a retired dentist who founded this practice. I left the practice in April 2022. Dr. Silva has become my new dentist and I am very happy. He has provided several advanced procedures for me. He is gentle and provides a high level of skill. He uses new technology including digital scanning instead of traditional impressions, artificial intelligence for shade matching and x-ray diagnosis, and has an advanced x-ray machine, CBCT, in which he is able to see three dimensional diagnostic images when indicated in addition to the conventional two dimensional x-ray images taken more routinely. He attends to detail ( important), and displays a high level of diagnostic and procedural skill. I recommend him and his staff very highly.

— Thanks for making us smile! We appreciate such a great review!

Hello All, I'm not a fan of Dentist/dental situations. My truth...I have a fear of thier hard earned expertise. So that said...My unfortunate issue/ cracked tooth...lead to research via reviews. I put my trust and faith in the hands of Merit Dental. Staff: Bre, and Cheryl were excellent. Dental Assistant: Kim was awesome, she kept me comfortable. Dentist/ Dr.Silva: Gentle, thoroughly explained the process. Shout out to the Observer ? Thank you all for making this happen with a positive vibe. And laughing at my jokes. See you soon...

— Hi Bernadine, we appreciate you leaving us a review. See you back soon, thank you!

Penny Britton

I had had a veneer put on my front tooth years ago, due to a broken tooth. As the years passed my other teeth darkened. In pictures I looked like White Fang. Embarrassing to smile or have pictures taken. Merit dental & Dr Silva became my dentist, when my dentist retired. I mentioned this to Dr. Silva, I told him whitening products were of no help. So he had the bright idea of replacing the veneer with a darker color veneer and they would match. So he did and it made a world of difference. Thank you Dr Silva, you are amazing. Also has helped me with dry mouth conditions . Merit has a win, win with Dr Silva

— Thank you so much for your kind words, Penny. We really appreciate you taking the time out to share your experience with us. We count ourselves lucky for patients like you!

I love Merit Dental!!! This was my first visit there and at first I had a little anxiety but soon that all disappeared. The staff was very friendly and professional. The dental assistant was nice and made me feel welcomed. Dr. Silva is so professional and good looking. He explained what needed to be done to my teeth and he even gave me the out of pocket cost of the services with no hidden agenda. He genuinely showed that he cared about solving my problems. He did not try to sell me his services like my previous dentist did and I appreciate and respect him for his integrity and commitment to helping me with my dental needs. I highly recommend Merit Dental.

This office was a delight! My boyfriend and I went to see Dr. Silva for some pretty extensive treatment and he was able to do two back teeth for him efficiently.

Been a patient with Dr Valo for many years. Always professional and does great work. Recently i broke a tooth, please he was able to work me in same day on his lunch break with temp repair to stop discomfort and hold me over till full repair can be completed.

On a Sunday afternoon i chipped my tooth. Monday morning i called Dr Valo's ofc and explained my problem. i got an appt for that afternoon and instructions on what to do when arrived for my appt. i had my temp taken and filled out questionaire in the parking lot. wearing my mask i followed his receptionist, Cheryl, inside and waited for my appt. Dr Valo came and had me follow him back to the room where he assessed my tooth and told me what he hoped to do to fix it. he and his asistant where wearing their protection, i had goggles on, and he proceeded to work on my tooth. within about a1/2 hour the procedure was a success and it looks great. i went from chipped tooth to brand new in less than 24h; it made my day. i greatly appreciate getting in quickly, the preventative measures taken to make my visit safe for all of us, and the courtesy and friendliness of Dr Valo and his staff.

I took my children, ages 5 and 2.5, to this dentist for the first time today and oh my goodness! I have never felt more welcome and comfortable in a medical/dental office. Every single person that worked there was so sweet, kind and pleasant. The office was very clean, and my kids loved the toys in the waiting room. They even had a pinball machine my son was obsessed with. My kids felt comfortable, I felt comfortable, and I'm happy to have found the right dentist for our family.

Dr. Valo is an artist. Photography, sculpting and free form ceramics. A teacher with patience and vision. His office is a studio which thrives because of apprentice and mentor-ship. It might sound as if I am a paid endorser? Not so. When a molar filling becomes a lustrous contoured efficient grinding tool as our Creator intended, I can only be thankful for persons who have mastered and honed their skills to set right what goes wrong. 5 stars and more/tammy

I changed my dentist to Dr. Valo by references of my friend & my daughter. Soon after I had an emergency tooth inflammation. Dr. Valo answered his cell phone as soon as I called him. He ordered prescription meds right away for me. And he took care of me as the first patient the next morning even pulling my wisdom tooth in his office! All this took only about an hour without special extra charges. I do not think anyone can find any other dentist like him in town! He is very thorough and very caring for patients. I’m so thankful for finding him as my dentist!

I had a great time. I used to be afraid of dentists and now I can’t wait to go. They’re gentle and kind and answer all of my questions. Plus they have great prizes and healthy drinks that taste great. They care about you and accommodate to your needs. I have very sensitive eyes and always have to bring glasses to every dentist appointment because they use lights to look in my mouth the second time I came they had bought a whole case of glasses just for me so I didn’t have to bring my own. I definitely will forever go here for the rest of my life no matter where I move.

— Thank you, Lisa, for your kind words. We are happy your experience here is so good. We look forward to seeing you next time!

John Borucki

No one loves going to the dentist, but Dr. Silva and his staff made the experience a truly pain free experience. I had a crown replaced and another tooth got a new crown. I felt welcomed as I entered the office. Savanna took great care with my cleaning. Dr. Silva and Kim were amazing prepping my teeth for the new crowns. The front office staff really do their best with scheduling, reception and check out. It's difficult to find a dentist who treats patients as family, and I'm glad to be a part of it. Thank you!

— Thank you for taking a few moments to leave us a 5-star review, John. We really appreciate it!

Davidson Anene

Aug 18, 2024

Highly professional and friendly team. I was quite satisfied with the procedures. The process was thoroughly explained to me so that I’ll be comfortable with what needs to be done. As we all may know, insurance companies are very conservative when it comes to dental procedures. Merit Dental walked me through all the available options which helped reduce my out-of-pocket costs. And that's Merit.

— Thank you for the 5-star review, Davidson! Your feedback is important to us.

I had a really great time at the dentist! The ladies at the front were so nice and friendly. Savanna did my cleaning, and she was super caring and made sure I was okay the whole time. Dr. Silva was awesome too! He explained everything so I could understand it (getting a crown). I would tell anyone to come here—they're the best!

— Thanks for making us smile, Jonathan! We appreciate your review.

Jenean Eshoo

Aug 11, 2024

Dr. Silva put crowns on all my teeth. Through the procedure, I never felt any pain. Dr. Silva is an outstanding dentist! He is knowledgeable, conscientious, meticulous, and compassionate; making sure that the patient is comfortable and feeling no pain. He follows up with check-ups on the procedure to make sure everything is healing well. His staff is friendly, courteous and welcoming to the patients; and, his practice is immaculately clean. I definitely will be his patient for the rest of my life. Going to Merit Dental, you will never be disappointed. I highly recommend Merit Dental!!

— Hi Jenean, thank you for your review. We really appreciate it!

I’m in the dental chair every 3 months for cleaning, a check up and whatever may be necessary so I’m speaking from experience. Even though I miss Mary Beth (retired) Kim has been great.

Velissa Seiler

Jul 03, 2024

My 5 year old son and I had our first dental appointment for a routine cleaning. The staff and doctor was absolutely amazing, kind, patient, caring, and friendly. More than exceeded my expectations. I was really nervous about going because we loved our last dental office. We could no longer attend due to change in insurance. I was also a little nervous about my son not being with me but I could hear him and I could hear how well the staff was taking care of him. They were so kind and patient with him. They also did a lot of different things (more advanced) that made me feel comfortable as I was getting my teeth cleaned. I'm so happy the switch was as easy as it was. I look forward to a keeping them as my permanent dentist.

— Hi Velissa, thank you for your 5-star review, we really appreciate it! We're going to share it with the whole team.

I was nervous going because the Google Reviews are SO phenomenal so I knew it would be either really good or really bad. Well, they definitely live up to the hype! Super friendly, communicative, up front and comforting. My teeth feel super clean and I’m ready for the rest of my treatment! Would 10/10 recommend!

Chamerah Kadina

I found this office through my insurance and came in not knowing what to expect. From the front desk, to the dental assistant, to the dentist was nothing short of amazing. Everyone including other patients treated me with such kindness. I’m so excited to have found an affordable permanent dentist close to home.

VL Santos

Jun 02, 2024

Best Service Ever! As someone who isn’t to fond of dentist work highly recommend Dr. Silva. He made sure to go above and beyond to make my experience painless and quick. From the front desk to the back rooms nothing but great attitude and atmosphere. Throughout the whole procedure Dr. Silva made sure I wasn’t in any type of pain or discomfort. Assured me that if we had to stop there was no problem at all as me being comfortable was the main priority. During the procedure I didn’t feel anything no pain or discomfort. I was very impressed by how quickly the procedure was done by Dr. Silva and his team. Highly recommend don’t plan on ever going anywhere else and Im sure everyone else will do the same after being treated by Merit Dental!

— Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, Vl. We really appreciate you sharing your experience with us.

Cydni Smith

May 20, 2024

I had a terrible experience at Corner Dental in Maumee, where they placed a crown in my tooth that fell out 10 times. I called them to see if they could put it back in, and they told me I would have to go 4 weeks without a tooth before they could get me in! I called Merit Dental and they could see me THAT day. From the receptionist, to the assistant, to the dentist, they put me at ease and were very professional and kind. I will be a patient there from now on. It is easy to find location wise, I’d give them 10 stars if Google would allow! Definitely visit this office. They won’t dissapoint!

— Thank you for taking a few moments to leave us a 5-star review, Cydni. We really appreciate it!

Tom Valo

I am a retired dentist who founded this practice. I left the practice in April 2022. Dr. Silva has become my new dentist and I am very happy. He has provided several advanced procedures for me. He is gentle and provides a high level of skill. He uses new technology including digital scanning instead of traditional impressions, artificial intelligence for shade matching and x-ray diagnosis, and has an advanced x-ray machine, CBCT, in which he is able to see three dimensional diagnostic images when indicated in addition to the conventional two dimensional x-ray images taken more routinely. He attends to detail ( important), and displays a high level of diagnostic and procedural skill. I recommend him and his staff very highly.

— Thanks for making us smile! We appreciate such a great review!

Bernadine Patton

Dec 21, 2023

Hello All, I'm not a fan of Dentist/dental situations. My truth...I have a fear of thier hard earned expertise. So that said...My unfortunate issue/ cracked tooth...lead to research via reviews. I put my trust and faith in the hands of Merit Dental. Staff: Bre, and Cheryl were excellent. Dental Assistant: Kim was awesome, she kept me comfortable. Dentist/ Dr.Silva: Gentle, thoroughly explained the process. Shout out to the Observer ? Thank you all for making this happen with a positive vibe. And laughing at my jokes. See you soon...

— Hi Bernadine, we appreciate you leaving us a review. See you back soon, thank you!

Penny Britton

Dec 07, 2023

I had had a veneer put on my front tooth years ago, due to a broken tooth. As the years passed my other teeth darkened. In pictures I looked like White Fang. Embarrassing to smile or have pictures taken. Merit dental & Dr Silva became my dentist, when my dentist retired. I mentioned this to Dr. Silva, I told him whitening products were of no help. So he had the bright idea of replacing the veneer with a darker color veneer and they would match. So he did and it made a world of difference. Thank you Dr Silva, you are amazing. Also has helped me with dry mouth conditions . Merit has a win, win with Dr Silva

— Thank you so much for your kind words, Penny. We really appreciate you taking the time out to share your experience with us. We count ourselves lucky for patients like you!

I love Merit Dental!!! This was my first visit there and at first I had a little anxiety but soon that all disappeared. The staff was very friendly and professional. The dental assistant was nice and made me feel welcomed. Dr. Silva is so professional and good looking. He explained what needed to be done to my teeth and he even gave me the out of pocket cost of the services with no hidden agenda. He genuinely showed that he cared about solving my problems. He did not try to sell me his services like my previous dentist did and I appreciate and respect him for his integrity and commitment to helping me with my dental needs. I highly recommend Merit Dental.

On a Sunday afternoon i chipped my tooth. Monday morning i called Dr Valo's ofc and explained my problem. i got an appt for that afternoon and instructions on what to do when arrived for my appt. i had my temp taken and filled out questionaire in the parking lot. wearing my mask i followed his receptionist, Cheryl, inside and waited for my appt. Dr Valo came and had me follow him back to the room where he assessed my tooth and told me what he hoped to do to fix it. he and his asistant where wearing their protection, i had goggles on, and he proceeded to work on my tooth. within about a1/2 hour the procedure was a success and it looks great. i went from chipped tooth to brand new in less than 24h; it made my day. i greatly appreciate getting in quickly, the preventative measures taken to make my visit safe for all of us, and the courtesy and friendliness of Dr Valo and his staff.

I took my children, ages 5 and 2.5, to this dentist for the first time today and oh my goodness! I have never felt more welcome and comfortable in a medical/dental office. Every single person that worked there was so sweet, kind and pleasant. The office was very clean, and my kids loved the toys in the waiting room. They even had a pinball machine my son was obsessed with. My kids felt comfortable, I felt comfortable, and I'm happy to have found the right dentist for our family.

Dr. Valo is an artist. Photography, sculpting and free form ceramics. A teacher with patience and vision. His office is a studio which thrives because of apprentice and mentor-ship. It might sound as if I am a paid endorser? Not so. When a molar filling becomes a lustrous contoured efficient grinding tool as our Creator intended, I can only be thankful for persons who have mastered and honed their skills to set right what goes wrong. 5 stars and more/tammy

I changed my dentist to Dr. Valo by references of my friend & my daughter. Soon after I had an emergency tooth inflammation. Dr. Valo answered his cell phone as soon as I called him. He ordered prescription meds right away for me. And he took care of me as the first patient the next morning even pulling my wisdom tooth in his office! All this took only about an hour without special extra charges. I do not think anyone can find any other dentist like him in town! He is very thorough and very caring for patients. I’m so thankful for finding him as my dentist!

— Thank you! It is our pleasure to care for you!

I had a great time. I used to be afraid of dentists and now I can’t wait to go. They’re gentle and kind and answer all of my questions. Plus they have great prizes and healthy drinks that taste great. They care about you and accommodate to your needs. I have very sensitive eyes and always have to bring glasses to every dentist appointment because they use lights to look in my mouth the second time I came they had bought a whole case of glasses just for me so I didn’t have to bring my own. I definitely will forever go here for the rest of my life no matter where I move.

— Thank you, Lisa, for your kind words. We are happy your experience here is so good. We look forward to seeing you next time!

John Borucki

No one loves going to the dentist, but Dr. Silva and his staff made the experience a truly pain free experience. I had a crown replaced and another tooth got a new crown. I felt welcomed as I entered the office. Savanna took great care with my cleaning. Dr. Silva and Kim were amazing prepping my teeth for the new crowns. The front office staff really do their best with scheduling, reception and check out. It's difficult to find a dentist who treats patients as family, and I'm glad to be a part of it. Thank you!

— Thank you for taking a few moments to leave us a 5-star review, John. We really appreciate it!

Highly professional and friendly team. I was quite satisfied with the procedures. The process was thoroughly explained to me so that I’ll be comfortable with what needs to be done. As we all may know, insurance companies are very conservative when it comes to dental procedures. Merit Dental walked me through all the available options which helped reduce my out-of-pocket costs. And that's Merit.

— Thank you for the 5-star review, Davidson! Your feedback is important to us.

I had a really great time at the dentist! The ladies at the front were so nice and friendly. Savanna did my cleaning, and she was super caring and made sure I was okay the whole time.

Jenean Eshoo

Dr. Silva put crowns on all my teeth. Through the procedure, I never felt any pain. Dr. Silva is an outstanding dentist! He is knowledgeable, conscientious, meticulous, and compassionate; making sure that the patient is comfortable and feeling no pain. He follows up with check-ups on the procedure to make sure everything is healing well. His staff is friendly, courteous and welcoming to the patients; and, his practice is immaculately clean. I definitely will be his patient for the rest of my life. Going to Merit Dental, you will never be disappointed. I highly recommend Merit Dental!!

Velissa Seiler

Jul 03, 2024

My 5 year old son and I had our first dental appointment for a routine cleaning. The staff and doctor was absolutely amazing, kind, patient, caring, and friendly. More than exceeded my expectations. I was really nervous about going because we loved our last dental office. We could no longer attend due to change in insurance. I was also a little nervous about my son not being with me but I could hear him and I could hear how well the staff was taking care of him. They were so kind and patient with him. They also did a lot of different things (more advanced) that made me feel comfortable as I was getting my teeth cleaned. I'm so happy the switch was as easy as it was. I look forward to a keeping them as my permanent dentist.

— Hi Velissa, thank you for your 5-star review, we really appreciate it! We're going to share it with the whole team.

I found this office through my insurance and came in not knowing what to expect. From the front desk, to the dental assistant, to the dentist was nothing short of amazing.

VL Santos

Jun 02, 2024

Best Service Ever! As someone who isn’t to fond of dentist work highly recommend Dr. Silva. He made sure to go above and beyond to make my experience painless and quick. From the front desk to the back rooms nothing but great attitude and atmosphere. Throughout the whole procedure Dr. Silva made sure I wasn’t in any type of pain or discomfort. Assured me that if we had to stop there was no problem at all as me being comfortable was the main priority. During the procedure I didn’t feel anything no pain or discomfort. I was very impressed by how quickly the procedure was done by Dr. Silva and his team. Highly recommend don’t plan on ever going anywhere else and Im sure everyone else will do the same after being treated by Merit Dental!

— Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, Vl. We really appreciate you sharing your experience with us.

Cydni Smith

May 20, 2024

I had a terrible experience at Corner Dental in Maumee, where they placed a crown in my tooth that fell out 10 times. I called them to see if they could put it back in, and they told me I would have to go 4 weeks without a tooth before they could get me in! I called Merit Dental and they could see me THAT day. From the receptionist, to the assistant, to the dentist, they put me at ease and were very professional and kind. I will be a patient there from now on. It is easy to find location wise, I’d give them 10 stars if Google would allow! Definitely visit this office. They won’t dissapoint!

— Thank you for taking a few moments to leave us a 5-star review, Cydni. We really appreciate it!

Tom Valo

I am a retired dentist who founded this practice. I left the practice in April 2022. Dr. Silva has become my new dentist and I am very happy. He has provided several advanced procedures for me. He is gentle and provides a high level of skill. He uses new technology including digital scanning instead of traditional impressions, artificial intelligence for shade matching and x-ray diagnosis, and has an advanced x-ray machine, CBCT, in which he is able to see three dimensional diagnostic images when indicated in addition to the conventional two dimensional x-ray images taken more routinely. He attends to detail ( important), and displays a high level of diagnostic and procedural skill. I recommend him and his staff very highly.

— Thanks for making us smile! We appreciate such a great review!

Bernadine Patton

Hello All, I'm not a fan of Dentist/dental situations. My truth...I have a fear of thier hard earned expertise. So that said...My unfortunate issue/ cracked tooth...lead to research via reviews. I put my trust and faith in the hands of Merit Dental. Staff: Bre, and Cheryl were excellent. Dental Assistant: Kim was awesome, she kept me comfortable. Dentist/ Dr.Silva: Gentle, thoroughly explained the process. Shout out to the Observer ? Thank you all for making this happen with a positive vibe. And laughing at my jokes. See you soon...

Penny Britton

Dec 07, 2023

I had had a veneer put on my front tooth years ago, due to a broken tooth. As the years passed my other teeth darkened. In pictures I looked like White Fang. Embarrassing to smile or have pictures taken. Merit dental & Dr Silva became my dentist, when my dentist retired. I mentioned this to Dr. Silva, I told him whitening products were of no help. So he had the bright idea of replacing the veneer with a darker color veneer and they would match. So he did and it made a world of difference. Thank you Dr Silva, you are amazing. Also has helped me with dry mouth conditions . Merit has a win, win with Dr Silva

— Thank you so much for your kind words, Penny. We really appreciate you taking the time out to share your experience with us. We count ourselves lucky for patients like you!

I love Merit Dental!!! This was my first visit there and at first I had a little anxiety but soon that all disappeared. The staff was very friendly and professional. The dental assistant was nice and made me feel welcomed. Dr. Silva is so professional and good looking. He explained what needed to be done to my teeth and he even gave me the out of pocket cost of the services with no hidden agenda. He genuinely showed that he cared about solving my problems. He did not try to sell me his services like my previous dentist did and I appreciate and respect him for his integrity and commitment to helping me with my dental needs. I highly recommend Merit Dental.

On a Sunday afternoon i chipped my tooth. Monday morning i called Dr Valo's ofc and explained my problem. i got an appt for that afternoon and instructions on what to do when arrived for my appt. i had my temp taken and filled out questionaire in the parking lot. wearing my mask i followed his receptionist, Cheryl, inside and waited for my appt. Dr Valo came and had me follow him back to the room where he assessed my tooth and told me what he hoped to do to fix it. he and his asistant where wearing their protection, i had goggles on, and he proceeded to work on my tooth. within about a1/2 hour the procedure was a success and it looks great. i went from chipped tooth to brand new in less than 24h; it made my day. i greatly appreciate getting in quickly, the preventative measures taken to make my visit safe for all of us, and the courtesy and friendliness of Dr Valo and his staff.

I took my children, ages 5 and 2.5, to this dentist for the first time today and oh my goodness! I have never felt more welcome and comfortable in a medical/dental office. Every single person that worked there was so sweet, kind and pleasant. The office was very clean, and my kids loved the toys in the waiting room. They even had a pinball machine my son was obsessed with. My kids felt comfortable, I felt comfortable, and I'm happy to have found the right dentist for our family.

— Thank-you for your kind comments. We are so glad you are a part of our practice.

Dr. Valo is an artist. Photography, sculpting and free form ceramics. A teacher with patience and vision. His office is a studio which thrives because of apprentice and mentor-ship. It might sound as if I am a paid endorser? Not so. When a molar filling becomes a lustrous contoured efficient grinding tool as our Creator intended, I can only be thankful for persons who have mastered and honed their skills to set right what goes wrong. 5 stars and more/tammy

— Thank you!

I changed my dentist to Dr. Valo by references of my friend & my daughter. Soon after I had an emergency tooth inflammation. Dr. Valo answered his cell phone as soon as I called him. He ordered prescription meds right away for me. And he took care of me as the first patient the next morning even pulling my wisdom tooth in his office! All this took only about an hour without special extra charges. I do not think anyone can find any other dentist like him in town! He is very thorough and very caring for patients. I’m so thankful for finding him as my dentist!

— Thank you! It is our pleasure to care for you!

I've been visiting Dr. Valo for over 15 years. Both him and his hygienists are great. Very knowledgeable and easy to work with. I cannot recommend them more than this simple review. If you're looking for a great dental experience I think you should set an appointment.

I had a great time. I used to be afraid of dentists and now I can’t wait to go. They’re gentle and kind and answer all of my questions. Plus they have great prizes and healthy drinks that taste great. They care about you and accommodate to your needs. I have very sensitive eyes and always have to bring glasses to every dentist appointment because they use lights to look in my mouth the second time I came they had bought a whole case of glasses just for me so I didn’t have to bring my own. I definitely will forever go here for the rest of my life no matter where I move.

— Thank you, Lisa, for your kind words. We are happy your experience here is so good. We look forward to seeing you next time!
