The practice can be reached by phone at (412) 364-5050 and maintains an informative website at http://certusdentalcare.com. The name "Certus" is derived from the Latin word for "reliable," reflecting the practice's commitment to trustworthy and consistent service. The practice was incorporated under the name Certus Dental Care, LLC in 2010, building upon the established practice of Dr. Michael J. Herock, who has been providing dental care in the Pittsburgh area since 1992. Dr. Herock, along with other skilled dentists like Dr. Solemanul Haque and Dr. Kathy Lopez, forms the core of their professional team. Certus Dental Care offers a comprehensive suite of dental services designed to meet a wide range of oral health needs. These services include: General and Preventative Dentistry: This encompasses routine check-ups, professional cleanings, oral cancer screenings, and guidance on maintaining effective oral hygiene to prevent decay and gum disease. Cosmetic Dentistry: Services aimed at enhancing the aesthetics of a smile, such as teeth whitening (including Opalescence™ Take Home Trays), porcelain veneers, and smile makeovers. Restorative Dentistry: Procedures to repair and restore damaged or missing teeth, including fillings, crowns, bridges, dentures (including ball attachment, implant-retained, and screw-retained), and root canal treatments. Dental Implants: Offering individual dental implants, implant-supported crowns, bridges, and dentures as a durable and natural-looking solution for missing teeth. Orthodontics: Specializing in Invisalign clear aligners for teeth straightening, providing alternatives to traditional braces. Oral Surgery: Services such as extractions (including wisdom teeth removal), bone grafting, and socket preservation. Emergency Dental Care: Prompt assistance for urgent dental issues like severe toothaches, cracked teeth, knocked-out teeth, and infections. Advanced Technology: The practice utilizes modern dental imaging techniques like Cone Beam 3D Dental Imaging and digital X-rays, as well as iTero Dental Impressions for precise treatment planning. Certus Dental Care emphasizes creating a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere for patients, understanding that many may experience anxiety about dental visits. They strive to make patients feel secure and well-cared for, with a focus on clear communication, patient education, and personalized treatment plans. The team is dedicated to ongoing training and continuing education to stay abreast of the latest techniques and technologies in dentistry.

My appointment was moved up promptly & all options were verified & discussed prior to leaving the visit. I came in discomfort & left very satisfied. I strongly recommend!

I've been going to Certus for years, and recently went for a cleaning. My appointment was right on time, Madison the hygienist was very friendly (college sports enthusiast) and proficient, as was Dr. Lopez. I've had two crowns done by Dr. Herock in the past, and have had no problems whatsoever with them (vs. friends and family who've had crowns done by other dentists, and who have had many problems). I had a tooth pulled years ago, but implants are very expensive so I haven't gotten an implant yet-- and I appreciate the fact that neither Dr. Herock nor Dr. Lopez have pressured me to get one.

My ONLY issue with Certus is the state of the parking lot, building, and building sign, all of which have been on a downhill slide for years. The office itself is very nice, but the building and the rest. . . . not so much. For their sake (and that of their patients), I hope they move to a new location (that's not too far away) soon.

My first visit to Certus Dental was great. Very friendly staff, who talked you through every step of the process. They have advanced technology options for diagnostics, which allows them to make specific treatment recommendations based on your needs.

The entire staff at Certus Dental Care was professional, friendly, and very efficient. Both the dentist, and hygienist were exceptionally knowledgeable. I appreciate being asked more than once if I had questions. They did an awesome job explaining the procedures as well as my dental health.
