\"Hello<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

We\u2019re so excited to announce that our blog is live! After months and months of talking with our patients, we realized that it\u2019s so important to have a place to turn for reliable, consistent, and up-to-date information regarding something as important as your health. So, we decided to create a blog dedicated to all things dentistry \u2013 from debunking common myths to reviewing the most popular treatments. In the meantime, you can read on to learn more about Dr. Berkal and the treatment philosophy our Derry dental team shares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Say Hello to Dr. Berkal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Berkal\u2019s 45+ year career in dentistry has been filled with several impressive accomplishments, from earning her dental degree from Tufts University to serving in the Army as the first female dentist at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. Throughout the years, she has pursued continuing education and advanced training with the world-renowned Dawson Center for Advanced Dental Study, Pankey Institute, and Spear Education. With all that said, her favorite part of being a dentist is helping her friends and neighbors in Derry achieve the healthy, functional, and beautiful smiles they deserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Makes Our Dental Practice Different?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Berkal has been serving patients in Derry since 1986. Although a lot has changed over the years, her commitment to personalized attention and quality dental care certainly hasn\u2019t. That\u2019s why she (and our entire team) is passionate about utilizing only the best dental technology and materials, including CEREC\u00ae same-day dental crowns. We also never want taking care of your smile to be a chore or to create a financial burden. To that end, we offer appointments as early as 7:30 AM throughout the week and are happy to offer several financial solutions, including our very own membership plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, What\u2019s Next?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whether you are new to Derry or you\u2019re a long-time resident, we\u2019d love to be your dental home. You\u2019re also welcome to continue to check back here every so often to read through our blogs and learn more about how to maintain, restore, and enhance your smile!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
