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. The entire staff is very friendly and they are amazing at what they do. Dr. Silva is no pressure and makes any procedure painless and unexpectedly quick. Highly recommend them!

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!

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.

— Thank you for your review. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us.

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.

Dr. Sylva needs to do the work and not a dental assistant. My temporary cap fell out and no one is available. A big difference from Dr. Valo.

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.

Excellent visit! Marybeth is very kind, gentle, and efficient! Dr. Valo stopped by to make sure there were no areas of concern from the dental hygienist. I get my teeth cleaned every 3-4 months, so Dr. Valo does his dental exam every other time. Julie, his receptionist set up the next appointment and was very pleasant!

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 really appreciate all the attention at Dr. Valo’s office to cleanliness & safety awareness. They did not skip a beat with meeting all the requirements for safety protocol.

Thank you, Dr. Valo, Mary Beth, & Cindy!!

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!

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!

Tom Valo

Jan 18, 2024

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...

— 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.

I get my teeth cleaned every 3-4 months, so Dr. Valo does his dental exam every other time. Julie, his receptionist set up the next appointment and was very pleasant!

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 really appreciate all the attention at Dr. Valo’s office to cleanliness & safety awareness. They did not skip a beat with meeting all the requirements for safety protocol. As always, Dr. Valo & staff make you feel at home with their relaxed approach to treatment and friendly demeanor. I wouldn’t dream of going to any other Dentist!! Thank you, Dr. Valo, Mary Beth, & Cindy!!

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

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!
