Dr. William Nerestant
Dr. Nerestant received his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree from the University Detroit/Mercy in Michigan. Immediately after, he joined the Air Force as an Officer in the Dental Corps. Since his Air Force days, Dr. Nerestant has been nurturing a passion for comprehensive dentistry. He has studied with the esteemed Dawson Center for Comprehensive Dentistry, Misch Implant Institute, Nash Institute for Cosmetic Dentistry, Dr. Frank Spear, a living legend in Cosmetic Dentistry, to name a few.

He has been delivering cosmetic, implant, and functional solutions to patients for over 23 years. His commitment to “doing it right” and ability to “handle just about anything” has won him the admiration of thousands of patients.
A big bonus is that Dr. Nerestant uses his expertise to prevent big problems from ever happening. He has been helping patients so they can enjoy eating and smiling again with dental implants since 1998. He has implemented unique methods of implant dentistry to “rescue” denture patients and those with debilitated teeth needing complete reconstructions. He also uses special techniques in sedation dentistry for fearful patients. Combined with advanced techniques, these strategies allow even the most compromised individual to return to a life of enjoying dental health. In light of his broad scope of training, most of his patient’s treatments are performed in the same office.
Advanced training is accessible to any licensed dentist. What sets Dr. Nerestant apart, in addition to his commitment to avail his patients of the best Dentistry has to offer, is his calming demeanor, his attentiveness in “listening” to his patients, and his genuine concern for his patient’s comfort. Also, when you talk to Dr. Nerestant, you soon learn why this soft-spoken man has built such a great practice. He takes little credit and points to his team of dedicated professionals with decades of combined experience.
