Why Neighbors Choose Our Temperance Dentist, Dr. Al-Jerdi

Dr. Al-Jerdi grew up in Southeast Michigan and earned both his undergraduate and dental degrees at the University of Detroit Mercy. Staying close to home was always the plan. He wanted to care for the communities that shaped him.

Patients often compliment his bedside manner and gentle care. He also takes time to explain what he sees, because we want you to understand your options before any treatment starts.

He works alongside a team of 10+ with more than 100 years of combined experience, and our practice is part of the Michigan Dental Association. More than 1,000 patients trust our Jackman Road office with their care. Because we’re doctor-owned, not a corporate chain, your care is guided by the dentist who owns the practice. You can meet Dr. Al-Jerdi and our team before your first visit.

A Patient Who Hadn't Been to the Dentist in Years

“It’s been a few years since I last went to the dentist. I was super hesitant but Dr. Al-Jerdi was very kind and compassionate and made me feel super comfortable. My teeth have never felt better! Can not recommend this office more. Will definitely be booking my next appointment here!”

— Bridget Atkinson

Temperance Patients Keep Coming Back

Some of the people behind these reviews have been coming to this office for years, and others are brand new to us.

Dental Care That Fits Life in Bedford Township

Temperance sits just north of the Michigan-Ohio line, and that shapes how people here use a dentist.

Two states, one plan. Plenty of families here live in Michigan and work in Toledo, so their dental plan may come from either side of the border. We accept Delta Dental plans from all states. If you’re looking for a dentist near Toledo, our office is a short drive north of the state line.
People stay put. Most Temperance households are in the same home year after year. That’s who we built this office for: someone who wants one dentist for the long haul, not a new face every visit.
Every age, one office. About one in five Temperance residents is 65 or older, and more than a quarter of homes have kids. On the same morning we might clean a first-grader’s teeth and fit a grandparent’s crown.
Long commutes, early answers. The average commute here runs close to 30 minutes. We’d rather find a small cavity at a routine visit than have it turn into a missed workday. Our 8 AM starts on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday help you get in before work.

We’ve served Bedford, Monroe and Toledo for decades. If you live farther north and want a dentist in Monroe County who already knows the area, we’re worth the drive down.

The Care We Provide Under One Roof in Temperance

Most of what your household needs happens right here, from routine cleanings to crowns and dentures. Here’s where to start.

Family Dentist

One office for everyone in your home. Seeing the same team over the years makes it easier for us to spot small changes early and keep your plan consistent.

Pediatric Dentist

Kids get the same gentle, unhurried care our adult patients compliment us on, in a relaxed, family-friendly office.

Dental Cleaning

Cleanings and exams are where early problems usually show up. Catching them here keeps a small fix from becoming a bigger procedure.

Emergency Dentist

Broken tooth or sudden pain? Call (734) 847-1780 as soon as it starts. Our team will look for the earliest time we can see you during office hours.

Root Canal

We’ve completed more than 1,000 root canals. When an infected tooth can be saved, we’ll walk you through how, and when it can’t, we’ll explain why.

Cosmetic Dentist

If you want to change how your smile looks, we first make sure your teeth and gums are healthy. Then we plan around your goals and budget.

Veneers

Veneers can cover chips, stains or uneven edges on front teeth. If bonding or whitening would do the job instead, we’ll tell you.

Clear Aligners

Clear aligners straighten teeth without brackets or wires. They’re a discreet option if you’d rather not have braces.

Dental Crowns

We’ve placed more than 2,000 crowns to protect cracked, worn or heavily filled teeth. A crown is also a common next step after a root canal.

Dentures

Missing several or all of your teeth? We’ll talk through dentures that fit your comfort, daily routine and budget.

Questions About Finding a Dentist Near You in Temperance

I live in Michigan but my insurance comes through an Ohio employer. Can I still see you?

Can my whole family see the same dentist here?

Yes. We care for patients of all ages, and our ideal patient is someone looking for one office they can stay with for years.
