We Care for Your Family

We support your family's oral health at every stage of life. Dr. Herbert offers personalized treatment plans to ensure each family member receives the necessary care. A few of your treatment options include:

  • General Dentistry - Routine cleanings and exams, gum disease solutions, and other preventive treatments catch and prevent dental problems early.
  • Restorative Procedures - Tooth-colored fillings, crowns, and bridges repair and replace teeth. You can visit us on the same day, whenever possible, for your urgent dental needs. Unlike most dental practices, we can provide a crown for you in a single visit. You won't need a temporary crown or a second appointment.
  • Cosmetic Dentistry - Veneers, whitening, and bonding will improve the look of your smile. Invisalign orthodontics can discreetly straighten your teeth.

Switched hygienists in coming to J&D Dental and it was the greatest dental experience I have ever had. Sarah is not only exceptional, but the care was impressive as well. The technology available is first class, and a simple cleaning procedure was a breeze. Dr. Herbert is beyond personable and great at her craft as well. Could not recommend J&D Dental more highly.

I happened to get a mailer from them right when I was considering trying a downtown dentist after a recent move, and I'm so glad I did. The hygienist was great, as was the dentist (Sarah), and their tech was even better than my last office (which was top notch). I highly recommend these folks!

Douglas Meisner

First and only dentists office I have ever been to, hoping to keep it that way. Staff is great. Service is excellent. So many people talk about how they hate going to the dentist, but with J & D Dental the experience is enjoyable. I tell my friends about my dentist office and they get jealous.

I've been a patient here for 20+ years and have only ever had positive experiences. The ladies at the front desk are welcoming, the dental hygienists are kind and gentle, and Dr. Herbert and her assistants are excellent. My dental hygiene habits have fluctuated over the years and during the worst of times, I was treated with the same respect and care that I'm treated with now. I cannot recommend and thank Dr. Herbert and her amazing team enough.

A family dentist provides care for patients of all ages, offering comprehensive services under one roof. Dr. Herbert can treat both children and adults, making it convenient for families to schedule appointments. From routine cleanings and exams to restorative and cosmetic treatments, we meet the needs of every family member.

Dr. Herbert typically recommends scheduling dental checkups every six months. Regular visits allow us to catch potential issues early and provide preventive care, such as cleanings and exams.

Maintaining a regular schedule is key to keeping your family's smiles healthy and strong.
