About Thomas A. Berard, DDS
I had spent most of my young life without ever visiting the dentist. In college, while studying for finals, I came down with a terrible toothache. I was very nervous, but the pain forced me to make an appointment. I ended up having a tooth pulled. Through the years, I have personally experienced almost every type of dentistry that a person could have: root canals, crowns, bridges and porcelain facings. I've even had dental treatment to relieve headaches and jaw pain. I realized then that I could help others with situations similar to mine. After graduating from the University of Detroit Dental School, I dedicated myself to providing the best possible treatment to every patient. I also realized that advanced education was crucial to offering quality care. I have studied smile makeovers and headache treatments at the world-renowned Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies (LVI) and have been recognized as a preferred LVI provider. To help patients who are as nervous as I was, I have taken courses in providing conscious sedation, and I have earned a prestigious Fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry. I have been a dentist in Manistee for over 20 years. I belong to the Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry and the International Association of Comprehensive Aesthetics. When not at the office, I enjoy spending time with my wife, Janet, and our children, Janique and Jarrod. We also enjoy seeing our older son David, his wife, Leah and our grandchildren,Gianna, Vincent & Cierra. Their family lives in Indiana and we love to visit. Let's get together and discuss your unique dental needs and desires - I look forward to getting to know you better.
