About Chestnut Family Dental
Dr. Mercado and Dr. DeLeo have opened the office on a holiday to fix a broken tooth and squeeze in same-day emergency repairs.
Chestnut Family Dental is a general dental practice that also offers Invisalign for patients interested in straightening their teeth. Many reviews come from families managing care for several children at once, and several mention the office opening on a holiday or squeezing in a same-day fix for a broken or loose tooth. Reviewers also note the practice helps anxious or dental-phobic patients get through procedures calmly, with breaks offered mid-treatment when needed. A smaller number of reviews mention the office's clean, modern equipment.
