Services
Cosmetic Dentistry
Our cosmetic dentistry services transform smiles through porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, and bonding procedures. We create natural-looking results that enhance facial aesthetics while maintaining dental health. Custom treatment plans address discoloration, misalignment, and structural imperfections using advanced materials and techniques.
Invisalign Treatments
Invisalign clear aligners straighten teeth discreetly using custom-fitted trays. This orthodontic solution corrects bite issues and misalignment without traditional braces. Treatment typically shows visible results within 6 months while allowing normal eating and oral hygiene routines.
Restorative Dentistry
We restore dental function through crowns, bridges, and implants that mimic natural teeth. CEREC technology enables same-day crown placement while traditional restorations use durable, aesthetic materials. Our approach preserves maximum healthy tooth structure during repairs.
Preventive Care
Preventive services include cleanings, sealants, and fluoride treatments that stop decay progression. Regular checkups detect issues early while patient education promotes home care routines. We emphasize long-term oral health to prevent complex dental problems.
Pediatric Dentistry
Our child-friendly practice creates positive dental experiences through gentle techniques and age-appropriate explanations. Services include cavity prevention, habit counseling, and early orthodontic intervention. We help establish lifelong oral hygiene habits in a welcoming environment.

I first saw Dr. Metz on an urgent basis after losing a 15-year-old crown on a business trip. The tooth underneath could not be saved and bad genetics combined with a years-long B- dental routine was taking its toll on my teeth. Ive needed substantial work done to turn things around and the Vibrant Dentistry team has been fantastic the whole time. They are patient, non-judgmental and friendly. Most dentists have made me feel like Im being water-boarded with every procedure and many have not given too much thought to patient comfort.
This place is different. The procedures are the most comfortable Ive ever had and Dr. Metz even calls to check up on me after the big stuff. Treating with Vibrant Dentistry has changed the way I view dental treatment, which is helping to keep my teeth and gums healthy.

I have been going To Vibrant Dentistry for several years now. Doctor Metz is the best and really takes time to explain the treatments and why they are needed. Tara is the BEST dental assistant and always remembers from visit to visit what is going on in my life and asks for updates, very personable. I hated dentists and rarely went before a friend recommended them. What a nice change. I cant say that going to the dentist is my favorite thing to do now, but they make it very pleasurable. Plus each time I go, they have a new gadget. Technology there is impressive!

I've been a patient for 14 years. Woke up with tooth pain and called the office as soon as they opened. Luckily they had room for the same day to schedule an appointment. Fixed me right up and made me feel like family as per usual. When friends say they hate going to the dentist, I can't sympathize. Maybe it's because they're not Vibrant patients! Thank you for amazing work as always!

I've been a patient at Vibrant Dentistry for about 15 years. Dr Metz and his team are extremely skilled and passionate about providing high-quality dental services. From routine cleanings to complete cosmetic makeovers; you can trust you are in the right hands. My partner had to see another dentist once and that dentist said the fillings Dr Metz had done were some of the best she'd ever seen. There's a reason he is chosen as a top Dentist year after year.cause he's the best. Go check them out.

I am almost 59 years old and went in to have my routine 6 month dental cleaning. After X-rays, digital pictures, probing, and oral cancer screening, I'm told that they can't clean my teeth without Novocain and I need to return at a later date. Seriously? I have NEVER needed that previously. Also, I'm told that I developed SEVEN cavities and gum disease since my last cleaning 6 months ago. Wrong. The most frustrating part is that they ignored my wishes and wanted to do things their way.
I am the patient. I am paying for services. I came to get my teeth cleaned and they didn't provide the service. Unacceptable. They did enjoy providing me with a "treatment plan" that is beneficial to them. I only came to this office because they were in my insurance network. I am happy to return to my previous dentist and pay for cleanings out of pocket.

I've never had such a great experience at a dentist as I did with Vibrant Dentistry. After years of looking for a dentist I could trust, I was referred to Vibrant by a close friend. The office staff is very thorough with checking billing and making sure everything is correct. The hygienist I worked with was knowledge and extremely thorough during my initial exam. Dr. Metz eased my fears, was super patient, and extremely thorough when filling my cavities. 100% recommend this place for all dentistry needs.

I recently moved out here and searched for the best dentist I could find. Vibrant had amazing reviews and seemed to be the best out here. After getting dental work done there I can confirm I'd go nowhere else but here the staff is over the top kind and very communicative about the process. Highly recommend my reviews as others hold true this is the place to go.

Like most, I have lived a life of dreading the dentist. It doesn't matter how good I feel after I still didnt look forward to the next visit. That's how I used to feel until I was introduced to Dr. Metz and his amazing staff. I can confidently say I look forward to every visit. The expertise exhibited and the care taken allows for the anxiety related to dentist visits be completely dismissed. I highly recommend this office to everyone. Thank you Dr. Metz and Vibrant Dentistry.

I've been a Vibrant Dentistry patient for about 8 years. I discovered the practice when I moved from Ohio to Arizona and was referred by some local friends to see Dr. Metz (including my now husband - who has been a patient even longer than I have). For me, the bar was set high as my mom was a dental hygienist growing up and I spent a lot of time with her dental office team. It's clear that Dr. Metz is passionate for his work and dedicated to hiring and maintaining a top-class hygienist staff.
Each of my cleanings have been thorough and comfortable and the hygienists also make time to check in on my life updates while also giving me some tips to keep up with my oral hygiene. When coming in for fillings (sorry, mom), which tend to give me serious anxiety, the assistants are friendly, and Dr. Metz is calming and confident. I trust that the Vibrant Dentistry team has my best interests in mind. Thanks to the team for your dedication to this important work - see you soon!

Dr. Metz is the literal epitome of everything you'd hope a dentist could be. He is kind, honest, gentle, precise, fast, methodical and meticulous. He works quickly yet thoroughly, he pays attention to minor. details, provides you with an overall agenda and focuses on the most important things first. Case in point, he advised me to get a crown on our first visit and I felt I couldn't afford it so I put it off.
It had already been patched by another dentist, so no big deal, it was fine. So I put it off for about a year and a half. BIG MISTAKE. On August 15th, 2018, my fiancee and I were at Buffalo Wild Wings. I was enjoying some of their Korean BBQ wings, chewing right along, and *crunch*.

I worked for Vibrant Dentistry for almost a year. Vibrant Dentistry has an awesome customer service base for their patients, and it was an experience I will not soon forget. The things the Scheduling Institute. taught us in order to help patients understand the needs for their treatment, and how to keep them comfortable during procedures were awesome tools I wish every dental office knew how to use.
However there were other things the Scheduling Institute taught us that Carl does not follow for his practice. Scheduling Institute taught two main goals for those following their plan; Keep your staff happy and keep your patients happy. Carl is great at keeping his patients happy, but what people.

Let's face it, no one enjoys the dentist. However, Dr. Metz and his staff make it as pleasant as possible. Dr. Metz keeps you very well informed of what your appointment will entail and what he will be doing. Whatever procedure he is doing he always asks if you're doing ok and asks if you have any questions. Dr. Metz never makes you feel like he's rushing to get through the appointment. I can't say enough good things about him.
He's very personable and makes you feel like he has your best interests at heart. His staff is also amazing. He's a bit of a hike for me, about 35 miles, but well worth it. I highly recommend Dr. Metz and Vibrant Dentistry!

I have always been the kid that was scared of the dentist till i came here. My first visit was with Dr. Metz was really comfortine. After doing xrays, he went though exactly what he expected to do. I asked so many questions, he even has a book to help explain, if you are a visual learner like me. He definitely pulled out the "kid" gloves on me and it was much appreciated. My Husband also came here and Dr. Metz recognized that no baby gloves needed for him and was able to seamlessly switch gears to what his patients needs were.
I got my teeth cleaned from Crystal RDH, she was amazing. Very personable and quick!
Finally, Trish with check out. Smart and to the point. She made sure to explain every thing. I love my dentist and my hygienist! i never thought that would be something that would enjoy. I highly recommend Vibrant Dentistry to all my friends and family! If you have had a negative experience with a dentist, i promise there is hope!
