Usually go to another oral surgeon if need be but due to some life events, availability, and urgency needed - my dentist recommended me to this office. The front desk staff is extremely nice and helpful, I wish I asked their names. Specifically a blonde/blue eyed staff member, she’s amazing! The dr is very efficient, knowledgeable, and I will say I had 0 pain. I was a little nervous/anxious just because I’ve never had a tooth pulled aside from wisdom teeth (I was sleep) this time awake with no sedation. I will say his bed side manor is a bit stereotypical of a surgeon. A little dry lol. Most of the best surgeons I’ve came across have this trait so I wasn’t shocked. I’m sure he’s a busy man, though. I will note I think the DA should be going over post op instructions , some people may not have a medical background and be concerned/have questions. Just some feedback.
Overall not a bad experience in my opinion and I like that he’s straight to business, straight out.

Amazing communication, friendly, kind, compassionate everyone in the whole Office, I feel go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and kind. I forgot my glasses. They had a cheaper pair that they let me use and doctor was super kind very sweet I’m so glad they worked me in in an emergency situation and satisfied will make sure I tell anyone who needs dental care to give this place their business. It means a lot to have that type of care. The office space was super clean and just amazing experience thank you so much for treating me so well and truly caring about my dental needs. ❣️

Dr. Merheb is a great Dental surgeon, he took two teeth out of my mouth that had been bothering me for sometime. I was very pleased with him and his staff, very quick and professional. I was put under sedation, there were no problems at all. It was very quick! I will definitely recommend him to other's. I never had any pain what so ever after I went home. Thank you again Dr. Merheb!!!

I would highly recommend Dr Merheb and his team to my friends and family for wisdom tooth removal. I have never had any dental work done (other than regular cleaning) and I have never been under IV sedation. I was extremely nervous but Dr Merheb and his team’s confidence and comforting words eased my anxiety and surely made the surgery go as well as it did. I felt at ease immediately before the sedation and it was like I blinked and the surgery was over. They gave me clear instructions and everything I would need for my recovery. I spoke with Katie multiple times about insurance, payments, and any concerns I had multiple times over the days leading up to my surgery. She was always very helpful and friendly.
I don’t know of anyone who enjoys getting dental work done but this provider made the overall experience as painless and stress free as possible.

He just gets it done. Was close to torture because I chose not to be sedated.. but fast. Very skilled.

About Merheb Surgical Arts
Merheb Surgical Arts is an oral and maxillofacial surgery and facial cosmetic surgery practice serving Central Illinois from two offices, one in Peoria and one at 3303 Griffin Avenue in Pekin. The practice's oral surgery services include dental implants and bone grafting, wisdom teeth removal, treatment of impacted teeth, oral biopsy, and anesthesia. The practice describes dental implants as small titanium posts placed in the jawbone that fuse with the bone to create a strong foundation for replacement teeth, and notes that implants can replace individual teeth or provide full arch replacement while helping preserve the jawbone and facial structure.
For patients considering implants, the practice explains that Dr. Merheb performs the implant placement surgery while the patient's restorative dentist designs and fits the final prosthesis. A consultation includes an exam and review of X-rays, and a 3D cone beam scan or a surgical guide may be used when bone is limited, multiple implants are planned, or the implant sits in a visible area. Most implant and bone grafting procedures can be done in the office under local anesthesia or with intravenous (IV) sedation, depending on patient preference. The practice states that it offers same day consultation and surgery, has Saturday hours, and is in network for Delta Dental PPO and Cigna Dental PPO, with insurance specialists on staff to help patients understand benefits and payment options. The Pekin office lists hours on Wednesday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM and Saturday from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM.
