About Merkley Dental
A conservative, watch-and-wait philosophy means Dr. Peter Vogel avoids pushing treatment patients don't need, according to reviews.
Merkley Dental is a general dental practice that also offers Invisalign alongside its regular services. Reviews describe Dr. Peter Vogel, who took over the practice from his late father, as someone who lays out options with x-rays and photos and gives honest, low-pressure recommendations rather than steering patients toward extra work. Patients also mention being fit in quickly for chipped or cracked teeth, sometimes the same day, and staff who handle cleanings gently even for anxious patients.

I love coming to Merkley Dental! Peter was so upbeat and positive. He encouraged me about about my teeth even though I feel like a failure in this area ☹️because I’ve had so much work done on them over the years. The hygienist set me up with a cool movie and earphones, which was super fun and distracting. I get like a million bucks after the cleaning! Then I even got a cookie before leaving!
