Safe Mercury Removal
Our IAOMT-certified SMART protocol ensures safe mercury amalgam removal using rubber dams, high-volume suction, and protective measures to minimize exposure. Patients receive pre-procedure guidance and post-removal care to support detoxification and long-term health.
CEREC Restorations
CEREC technology allows us to design and place custom crowns, veneers, and inlays in one visit. This eliminates the need for temporary restorations, reducing treatment time while maintaining precision and durability for natural-looking results.
Dental Implants
We offer titanium and zirconia dental implants for permanent tooth replacement. Using 3D imaging, we plan precise placements, including All-on-4 solutions for full-arch restoration, ensuring minimal invasiveness and faster healing.
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment straightens teeth discreetly with custom clear aligners. We create digital plans to gradually shift teeth, improving bite alignment, gum health, and aesthetics without metal brackets or wires.

Our TMJ disorder treatment combines diagnostic expertise with collaborative care, addressing pain, clicking, and misalignment through splints, physical therapy, and bite adjustments to restore jaw function and comfort.

100% Eric M. Kempter, DDS AIAOMT, IS THE BEST! He is the real deal dentist working to keep you well informed and keep your mouth healthy. No pressure to do anything you don't want to. He was the second dentist I went to in order to remove amalgam (mercury fillings) and he was the BEST! BETTER than I anticipated and SAFE! NO PAIN! No stiffness and no super sensitivity. Truly an amazing dentist. He knows exactly what he is doing with a wonderful disposition.

I've been seeing Dr Eric for 3 years now and he is 100% committed to taking care of his patients. I have a complicated dental history and multiple issues and he's so patient with my anxiety and all of the ups and downs of my care. He goes above and beyond to make sure that I can have a beautiful and healthy smile.

This is the BEST dental office I have ever been to. They took lots of time to collect my history and gave a very thorough exam for my first visit. The entire staff was an absolute pleasure and I can not wait to continue my dental wellness journey with them. I felt heard and cared for and will never go anywhere else. Thank you guys for what you do! Very impressed to say the least.

Dr. Eric and Dr. John are AMAZING! My hygienist Amanda is the best and I am sure all the others are phenomenal too! They all truly care about you as a person not just a patient. The entire office is like minded in a holistic sense. Thank you for ALL OF THIS!

We bring the whole family here. They revised our infants ties last summer and they have done work and cleanings on my wife, our toddler and myself. The Kempter brothers are both very knowledgeable and informative. My wife had her top wisdom teeth pulled and cavities filled and Dr. John K. Was patient and made sure she was comfortable. The hygienist is very patient with our 3 year old and doesn't stress him out when cleaning his teeth. I highly recommend this dental practice.

Dr John Kempter is a wonderful dentist. He helped my young son who had a traumatic accident that knocked out all four of his front teeth. He treated him like his own son and walked our family through a truly terrible time. My son healed and had no infection thanks to Dr Kempter. If you want a safe and above average dental experience I recommend this practice especially for complicated dental issues.

Dr. Eric Kempter is great! I dislike going to the dentist very much and haven't been in a long time. Partly because I was nervous about who to go to. But then, I had an accident to my FRONT teeth and got the referral to Kempter Holistic Dentistry. Even though I never go to the dentist, he took such good care of me. There was no judgment, just him doing his best to make me look like me. The whole staff was very friendly and warm / welcoming. Made me feel like I was an established patient even though it was my first visit.
It's not a good feeling to need a dentist and not have one. I've struggled with feeling comfortable at the dentist, but I can say I've found my family dentist - it's been a long time coming for sure.
