Dr. Merheb is extremely efficient and personable. I was referred here by a facility that refused my wisdom tooth extraction because it was "too complex" and claimed that it would have taken 90+ minutes. Dr. Merheb and his team are masters at their craft as they had my tooth extraction complete 5 minutes after the appointment time with no complications. I didn't feel a thing throughout the whole procedure, even the initial numbing shots were somehow painless which I'm convinced was some strange sorcery... A few other things to note, during my consultation Dr. Merheb actually listened to my concerns and didn't brush them off showing a real level of care, my questions were answered confidently and my mind put at ease. Dr. Merheb gave me the option to receive either general anesthesia OR local anesthesia. Many in his position could easily push for these procedures to require general anesthesia to boost profits, but he allowed me receive local anesthesia reducing both risk and cost. I am very grateful for my experience.

I cannot recommend Dr. Merheb and his incredible team enough. They have come through for my family in big ways, most recently when my husband woke up with a painful abscess on a Saturday morning. I called, and they got him in immediately—we were in and out in less than an hour! Their quick action saved us from a grueling, all-day wait in the emergency room, and we are forever thankful for that.
On a personal note, I have had three teeth removed at this office. I struggle with severe dental anxiety, but Dr. Merheb’s team made it the easiest process I’ve ever experienced. They are professional, compassionate, and truly care about patient comfort. If you're looking for a wonderful doctor and a stellar team, look no further.

Okay , I have to write a review because I am absolutely petrified of dental work . I don’t even like a routine cleaning . I’m not scared of much but dentistry and oral surgeries terrify me . I’ve been needing my wisdom teeth out for years . I’ve finally quit smoking & decided now is the time . My sister had gone to Dr Merheb so that’s how I knew of him . I was so scared & the front desk staff was phenomenal offering me her support animal Bruce . The surgical room staff was amazing also . The anesthesiologist was telling me jokes upon jokes & he had actually been the same one who’d put my daughter under for eye surgery 3 years prior so I already loved him ! Once I was out , Dr Merheb had all 4 teeth , 2 of which were impacted (1 soft tissue & 1 bony - but both partially) , out within 20 mins . My appt was at 930 , I was knocked out within 5 mins of being brought back & in recovery at 9:55 . I would absolutely recommend . Writing this the day after surgery & im doing well !

Like many others... I have EXTREME fear and anxiety of dentists. When I arrived for my appointment, I was met with kindness by the amazing office staff. The wait was not long at all. I was taken back to my room and what seemed like an army of angels surrounded me to get me prepared for Dr. Merheb to extract two back teeth. Dr. Merheb was remarkable..and it may be hard to believe this, but I honestly felt no pain... I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Merheb and his entire team!!! Dr. Merheb, and the entire staff.... YOU ROCK!!!

Dr Merheb and his team are the BEST! I have had several surgical procedures over the years with his office and each time they have delivered amazing compassion and dedication! Dr Merheb and his team have helped give me a smile I finally truly love. They all genuinely care about the experience they provide and the results, and in my eyes you won’t find a better team and doctor ♥️

About Merheb Surgical Arts
Merheb Surgical Arts is an oral and maxillofacial surgery and facial cosmetic surgery practice with offices in Peoria and Pekin, Illinois. The Peoria office is located at 5009 N. Executive Drive and serves patients from across Central Illinois, including Dunlap, East Peoria, Bloomington, Metamora, Chillicothe, Canton, Washington and Creve Coeur. Oral surgery services include dental implants and bone grafting, wisdom teeth removal, treatment of impacted teeth, oral biopsy and in-office anesthesia. The practice also offers surgical and non-surgical facial cosmetic procedures.
For patients missing teeth, the practice places dental implants, small titanium posts set into the jawbone that fuse with the bone to support replacement teeth. The practice notes that implants can replace individual teeth or provide full arch replacement, and that most implant and bone grafting procedures can be done in the office under local anesthesia or with intravenous sedation depending on patient preference. Implant placement is done in collaboration with the patient's restorative dentist, who designs and fits the final teeth. The practice offers Saturday hours, same day consultation and surgery scheduling, 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.
