Dr. Albert Schweitzer once said, Patients carry their own doctor inside. They come to us not knowing that truth. We are at our best when we give the physician who resides within each patient a chance to go to work.
As an advocate for continuing education, Dr. Melkers has undergone countless years of advanced training to stay on top of the latest developments in dentistry. His commitment is shown with gaining his Mastership from the AGD an extensive and rigorous process only 3% of dentists nationwide have achieved.
Growing up in a dental family, Dr. Melkers interest in dentistry sparked when he worked for his father as a chairside assistant and in-house laboratory technician. His fathers care and focus on patient well-being was an inspiration for your Hanover dentist to pursue dentistry. He saw, in the ability to help his patients, the opportunity to blend science, engineering, and artistry.
As Dr. Melkers said, My Dad has always been my hero. He did not teach me how to treat teeth. He taught me how to treat people. That is the difference that made all of the difference. At Lyme Road Dental, youll find a sign from his fathers very first practice in 1973 right above Dr. Melkers door to his private office.
Dedicated to all patients to achieve overall wellness, its our goal to put you in charge of your oral health and to develop a trusting relationship. Our dental services in Hanover are designed to help people with complex dental issues, but we are happy to serve healthy patients as well.
