Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent, natural-looking solutions for missing teeth using titanium or zirconia posts. Our practice offers standard and mini implants to restore function and aesthetics while preserving jawbone structure. With advanced 3D imaging and surgical guidance, we ensure precise placement and long-term success.
Biologic Dentistry
Our biologic approach connects oral health to systemic wellness using non-toxic materials and minimally invasive techniques. We emphasize mercury-safe removal, ozone therapy, and nutritional counseling to address root causes of dental issues while supporting overall health.
Teeth Whitening
Professional whitening treatments effectively remove stains from coffee, smoking, and aging using Opalescence systems. Options include in-office bleaching, custom trays, and disposable kits for convenient, lasting results that enhance natural tooth enamel.
Dental Crowns
Crowns restore damaged or weakened teeth with durable porcelain or metal-ceramic restorations. This procedure strengthens compromised teeth while maintaining aesthetics, requiring two visits for preparation and permanent placement.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligner therapy straightens teeth discreetly using custom removable trays. This modern alternative to traditional braces corrects misalignment gradually while allowing easy maintenance of oral hygiene during treatment.

Kathy the Office Manager is terrific. Extremely efficient. Stacy Dr Herzog's assistant has a wonderful personality and is s pleasure to deal with. Dr Herzog "knows his stuff " which is why I have been a patient with this office for over 30 years.

Honestly this dentist is great, I went there for 30 years and loved it. Tricia filled in a cavity wonderfully. But they don't take Delta Dental insurance anymore (the third most common insurance out there) and that really stinks. I've heard they don't take any insurance anymore but I have not verified that. When I got that letter I cried because it meant that the place I absolutely loved wouldn't treat me anymore. It has changed so much since Dr. Bill left

I had such a pleasant and informative experience at this office. Kammi was my dental hygienist and she was so easy to talk to and answered any questions I had about my dental health. I am new to the Albany area and dentist offices always make me a bit squeamish, but I am so glad I found this office. Everything was super clean, updated, and bright. I look forward to continuing care with them!

When my regular dentist retired, I asked around if anyone knew a good dentist. Since I owned a business, I came in contact with many customers and Dr. Herzog's name came up often. I made an appointment and from day one I found the staff to be efficient and friendly. Dr. Herzog was professional, well-informed, and took the time to listen to me and gave me a choice of options to choose from. I had no doubt that he was for me. I found that not only was he a perfectionist, but also a very nice guy. I wish I had found him years ago.

Dr Herzog and all the staff are very professional plus they all do an excellent job of making me feel comfortable there (even though I've neglected to get my treatments done in a timely manner). I'd like to especially thank my Dental Hygienist Megan for the excellent job she did - putting me back on track. With Dr Herzog and the staff, I have no reason to avoid the dentist as I look forward to making my future appointments in a timely manner :)

Wow! Thank you Kammi! You gave me the best cleaning today. It was very thorough. I appreciate that you asked me if you could use the machine to remove the plaque from my teeth. It's been along time since any one has asked. Today you asked, and I was ready! I also learned a lot from your skillful use of dental floss. Thanks again for everything!
