Dr. Thomas A Herberger

Introducing Dr. Thomas Herberger DDS
BELIEFS
Dr. Herberger believes every person is an individual. He treats every patient with that in mind. Dr. Herberger performs all chairside work that is done on his patients. He feels that the removal of permanent teeth in growing individuals to solve orthodontic problems can be avoided (there are a few exceptions). Ideally a child should begin treatment while they are still growing and before the last deciduous (baby) teeth are lost. The patient will have a more stable correction at the end of treatment that will last. Dr. Tom’s father, Dr. Robert J. Herberger, practiced for over 35 years with the same philosophy. The results have been outstanding. It is the doctors goal to provide you and your family with the best orthodontic care possible.
