After attending the University of Mount Union and Case Western Reserve University, he served as a dentist in the United States Navy.

Dr. John Beres joined the practice in 1993 and Dr. Ben Utterback joined in 2000. Our newest dentist, Dr. Cameron DeMarsh, joined the practice in 2018. Each of our three dentists is available at both locations.
Throughout the years the same principles have continued to be used that focus on giving each patient excellent, personalized care. We do this by presenting each patient with a comprehensive treatment plan using the latest procedure techniques and equipment.
