Merit Dental - Shamokin Dam 21 Baldwin Boulevard, Shamokin Dam, PA 17876

"I’ve heard mixed reviews about this place, but I personally did not have a good experience here. I was under the impression that I was scheduled for a cleaning, but instead when I was in my appointment they told me it was an appointment to see “what type of cleaning I need.” So I had to schedule another appointment right after the first one and pay twice as much just to get my teeth cleaned. When the girls took my X-rays, they were very unprofessional. They were timing each other on their phones to see how fast they could complete my X-rays (which hurt a lot for some reason). Then they were gossiping about random people I don’t even know and pulling out their phones to show me Facebook profiles of the people they were gossiping about. When the dentist came in he was friendly, but he told me I somehow had 5 cavities after never having a cavity before. They told me I’d have to pay $800 out of pocket because my insurance would run out by the time they filled all of them, so I went and got a second opinion. The second dentist I went to said there were NO cavities, and even if there were they’re too small to get a filling for. Just be cautious if you go here, and if something feels off go get a second opinion!"

"I want there needing a root canal with an infected tooth they did the root canal, and instantly when the numbing went away, I felt great . they are very professional and they know what they’re doing. Highly recommend."

"I had a cracked tooth and Dr. Nick was able to do a root canal and save my tooth!! Thank You ...I know it backed up your schedule. Staff is awesome!"

"I felt that l received excellent care in a friendly setting. The dentist and all others were very nice."

"The staff here makes you feel very welcome. Made my wife and I feel like we found a new group of friends. All are very intelligent and up to date on all modern forms and techniques of dentistry. Nice music playing in the background made us feel at ease. I would highly recommend this office for all your dental needs. Personally, I had a root canal and temporary tooth done on an earlier date than scheduled. It went smoothly and comfortably. I left with no pain or discomfort. Again, the staff is so nice and friendly conversing with us, making us feel relaxed. Thanks for a great job!"
