Carl J Metz, DDS

This is an excellent dentist, and I’m not easily impressed by doctors. He has his new patients fill out a questionnaire on their priorities and how they like to receive information (e.g. brief and to the point or lots of detail) so that he can tailor the patient-​doctor interaction to each individual, which I think is really cool. He’s very professional and doesn’t do any chit chatting with the dental assistants when working on my teeth, which I like since it means he’s totally focused on doing quality work and is not wasting time. He made sure my experience was as pleasant as possible — I was provided a blanket, a headset with Pandora music to listen to while they were drilling away, ibuprofen and a protein shake afterwards. Also he communicated with me every step of the way and showed me pictures of what was going on with my teeth. His staff is attentive and very kind. I can tell he puts a lot of care and passion into his work– it’s actually inspiring. I’ve never had a dentist quite like him!

I have been a patient here for nearly 6 years, and can’t find a single complaint! Dr. Metz does impeccable work– he is a true perfectionist– a trait you really want in someone working on your smile! He has replaced all of my metal fillings, crowns, and also whitening. All of my basic dental care is done here, and the dental hygienists are just as thorough and skilled as Dr. Metz himself. The office has the most advanced technology, and the office itself is professional, comfortable, and full of amenities to make even the most squeamish patient as cozy as possible! The entire staff is warm, friendly, sociable, and does their best to make you feel like part of their «family» there– excellent customer service! Every step of the process is made clear to you along the way, no «surprises», cost is outlined clearly before you even set an appointment. Dr. Metz is very straightforward and you can rest assured you will have excellent work done while you are in his hands– I sincerely wouldn’t trust any other Dentist the way I trust Dr. Metz’s expertise!

So My wife has gone here for a few years. First of all they are extremely friendly. And if you have dental insurance my issues will probably not be yours. While everyone is very friendly and takes a very personal interest in you, the costs are very high comparatively. They offer programs to help with the cost but even with those it is 2 – 3 times more expensive then elsewhere. My wife went here for a long time regardless because we liked the place and my wife had some dental work done in which we found value being at the same place. However, prior to her last visit she called a couple days prior to her appointment to find out exactly how much it was going to cost. After she had the serves done they charged her 20% more than what was quoted. We called a couple days later to investigate and the only explanation was that they require more x-​rays than they used to. There was never an answer given as to why that wasn’t disclosed. I told them we were going to be moving on. The reply was, «If refunding you the money this time will keep your business we’ll do that.» This was very disappointing. There was no regard for refunding the money because it was what they disclosed to us. There was no regard for doing the «right thing.» It was simply we’ll do it if you won’t leave. This did NOT make us feel valued or as if there was a personal relationship but rather they would only do the right thing if they could get something in return. Such a sad ending to an otherwise enjoyable experience.

I found Dr. Metz office through Google & since I literally lived two minutes away I figured I would try them. I went to his office due to my wisdom teeth causing me pain. The front desk girls were so nice! They give you a tour & try to get to know your situation. Since my mom was retiring & my dental was about to run out, they completely worked with me and really made me feel like they cared about my health & my pocket book. Dr. Metz is constantly teaching his girls & letting them know where they can improve which makes me feel as a patient that not only him but his entire staff know what they’re doing & most importantly understand why they’re doing it. Knowing that I’m in good hands makes going to the dentist enjoyable almost since the entire staff are so polite, friendly, & genuine. They also have contest going on all the time to get new patients in the office. If you are looking for a great dentist in the area, I am telling you from the bottom of my heart this is the place to go! You will not be disappointed!!!

Look no more for your new dentist! You will NOT find anyone better than Dr. Metz and his wonderful team of assistants. Yes, I just had two crowns and several old fillings replaced in the last two weeks, and I can say without reservation that it was as pleasant as something like that can actually be.
From the moment a patient walks in, the people at Vibrant Dentistry make every accommodation to make a person as comfortable as possible. I tell everyone that this the «Spa of Dentist Offices», and that is no exaggeration. Here’s a list of out-​of-​the-​ordinary perks that I really appreciate:
–Kerig machine, bottles of water, Arizona ice tea, and other refreshments in the waiting area for anyone who is visiting. I haven’t actually had any if it, but I love the thoughtfulness.
— an offer for a plush blanket if patients feel that the office air is just a bit nippy as they sit in «the chair»
— free use of noise-​canceling headphones and an iPad for use during the visit (and yes, they REALLY helped during each of my 4-​hour visits for all of the work I had to get done) to take one’s mind off the sound of those grinding tools.
— concern that I was hungry and an offer of a complimentary protein shakes on hand for patients (again, I was there for a long time). Have you EVER hear of this kind of hospitality from a dentist?!
— I mentioned that my iPhone was almost dead, and without missing a beat, Dr Metz mentioned that he keeps a supply of various phone chargers specifically for instances like these (what? Impressive!)
— I cannot overlook mentioning the state-​of-​the-​art machine the office displays in their leather-​chaired reception area; there are just a handful in the state, and yes, Vibrant Dentistry owns one of these babies that makes crowns as you wait.
— Grown-​up vibe: say goodbye to the goofy animal-​speaking posters pinned to the ceiling and clown-​colored walls! These office walls embue simple, elegant style. Yes, I still love the mirrors w hooks to hang my purse instead of setting it on the floor or counter. Are kids welcome? Sure thing! There are testimonials singing the praise of Dr Metz transforming kids’ dental visit fear into a positive experience.
Community service? Yup! Dr. Metz’s office gives back!
More than all of these, Vibrant Dentistry makes me feel that they genuinely care, and that makes me not only continue to as their patient but also spread the word to my friend (and this virtual community). I appreciate their authentic care if me in their office; I am grateful.
Okay, if this post hasn’t piqued your interest to at least consider being a new patient at Vibrant Dentistry, nothing will. I’ll just finish with this thought: You might as well get the most out of your insurance bucks. Go to the «Spa of Dentist Offices» and tell’em Jo sent you:)

While I was in school I didn’t really make the dentist a priority; because of time, money, and just wanting to avoid any dentist in general. Multiple friends had visited Dr. Metz and had good things to say so I decided to give him a try.
I have been seeing him for a year now and have been in the office maybe 8 times (avoiding the dentist was a bad idea). Dr. Metz and his staff are always incredibly friendly and eager to make me comfortable. Whenever I go in for work I am offered noise canceling headphones and a blanket (I always get cold so this is much appreciated). Everyone is wonderful about explaining exactly what they are going to do so there are no surprises. Dr. Metz also uses a camera to take before, during, and after photos so I can see exactly what he’s seeing.
I needed a number of fillings and my first crown; the work was divided into multiple visits. I also had some old silver fillings that were making me very self conscious about my smile so the staff put together a treatment plan that would help me achieve the smile I wanted. Before I got the crown, I called the office and told them I was concerned because I was going to be going to San Francisco a few days after getting my temporary on and was worried about being able to enjoy the food that the city had to offer (great food is always a priority on vacation). They moved my appointment up by a couple of days and had the lab rush my crown so I could have my permanent crown before leaving town. I appreciated them being so accommodating and was able to eat my way through SF without a problem. Now, Dr. Metz can make same day crowns in-​office which is even better; my husband had one and was happy with the results.
I was eager to finish my necessary dental work so I could have my teeth whitened afterwards — something I had wanted to do for a very long. The minute my last filling was finished I said that I was looking forward to whitening and Dr. Metz said, «Wanna do it now?» I had the day off and my answer was «YES!» I did the in-​office Zoom whitening with a kit to take home for touch ups and now I’m proud to show off my brighter smile.
Dr. Metz ALWAYS calls me in the evening on the day of my dental work to check up on me, make sure I’m not having any problems, and he encourages me to call if I have any issues. I think I’m in good hands.
I also think they have a fantastic referral program and I have received a couple of Visa gift cards in the mail so far… a very nice surprise to find in the mailbox.
If I have one complaint it’s that I wish they had longer, earlier, or later hours as the current hours seem to fall right in the middle of the work day. Other than that, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Vibrant Dentistry!

My family has been going to Dr. Metz for a few years now and he’s awesome! His whole staff is friendly and easy to talk to and Dr. Metz really takes care of your whole mouth, checking for diseases and if anything hurts. He made a mouth guard for me that helps me sleep better. I trust the whole team and highly recommend them to anyone who needs a dentist.

I was in town from the UK visiting friends and thought it was a good idea to get my teeth cleaned. Low and behold I needed a ton of work done including a crown. Dr Metz and his staff went above and beyond to deliver quality care to me in a short period of time — I was leaving the next day and his staff came in 2 hours early to ensure we could get it all done before I left. He even found a way to contact me the day after I left to make sure everything was going ok. I would highly recommend his practice to anyone!

I’ve been a patient now for six months, and love it! The doctor and staff are very friendly and more importantly, very thorough. It is comforting they are using state of the art technology to treat their patients.
Though in Mesa, the dentist office is only 5 minutes away from my house in central Tempe.
I trust them. And now my teeth are in better shape than ever.

Loved this office!
I went to Vibrant Dentistry earlier this week for an exam and a problem with my retainer. The office staff were wonderful (they even brought me a blanket for my legs when I mentioned I was chilly) and the office is beautiful.
Dr. Metz was wonderful and did a very thorough exam of both my teeth AND head, neck and jaw– something I can really appreciate as a chiropractor. My favorite thing was that he actually takes pictures of your teeth so he can show you what he’s talking about. I’ve never had a dentist do this before, and it was great for someone like me who wants to know exactly what’s going on with my body. He showed me the problem tooth and what he wanted to do, got a price quote for me, and was able to do the procedure right then and there. I also give him credit for telling me that he’d rather not mess with the retainer himself and he referred me to an orthodontist a few miles away (Curtis Orthodontics). I give people a lot of credit when they are humble enough to know what they can and can not help with.
Oh, and for dental weenies out there, don’t worry. Not only was Dr. Metz very gentle (I barely felt the novocaine needle), but they can give you a blanket and headphones while they work on you :)
Thanks, Dr. Metz!

I have been going to Vibrant for just over a year. After several years of neglect and not going to the dentist, my mouth was in bad shape. Dr. Metz and his staffed worked out a plan and my teeth are great! His staff is professional and friendly. Dr. Metz’s perfectionism gives you the assurance that you are leaving with your mouth in top condition. They also value my time. It is easy to book an appointment with my times available and I never have to wait long while I am there.

The entire staff at Vibrant Dentistry really go above and beyond. Every visit I am welcomed by name and seen in a very timely manner. Going to the dentist isn’t usually a pleasant experience, but with Dr. Metz it is.

Great office! Very friendly and accomodating staff. Dr. Metz is very good at explaining the procuedures he recommends and explaining all of the options available. There are plenty of dentist offices that are closer in proximity to my home or office but I prefer to go out of my way to visit Dr. Metz’ office.

Dr Metz and his staff have always been very friendly, informative, caring and professional. I had a dentist remove old fillings and carelessly refill them causing one tooth to become very weak. During my first visit Dr Metz pointed out that this tooth was a potential problem and informed me to be careful. Sure enough it cracked and needed repair. I also initially had a tooth that was thought to need a implant but with more inspection its plan of care was a crown saving me hundreds if not more in dental work. The crown is spot on and looks so perfect and natural in my mouth. I have been very pleased with all the services I have had at his office and reffer and recommend him to everyone I know. Thanks team!
