“For me, every detail matters. From listening to the patient to clincal execution, nothing gets left out. Good dentistry requires time, patience and world class execution. I wanted to create an office where every patient as access to this level of dentisty”

Dentistry is my craft, passion, and hobby. Since I was 10 years old, I have told everyone and anyone that I wanted to be a dentist. In fact, I applied to dental school when I was in high school, at age 17. I was accepted and was able to accelerate my training to become THE youngest graduate ever from Marquette University School of Dentistry. As a professional, I spend virtually every day expanding my knowledge and perfecting my techniques. In my mind, dentistry is an intersection between several disciplines: Medicine, Engineering, and Artistry. I believe that great dentistry involves an intimate understanding of all three and how they interact. From routine fillings to complex treatment management, every patient gets my absolute best. Our goal at Dental Arts of Santa Fe is defined by quality, precision, and harmony.

As a southwest native, I am beyond excited to have made Santa Fe, NM my home. When I am not doing dentistry, I enjoy cooking, hanging out with my wife and animals, collecting classic cars, and enjoying the great outdoors.

Meet Dr. Mervau

I have known I wanted to be a dentist for as long as I can remember. I was inspired by my childhood dentist who made every visit personal and comfortable. My goal is to treat every patient like family, to make people feel at ease in my dental chair, and to treat each individual’s needs in a customized fashion. If I can make you smile or laugh during your visit, that’s an added bonus! My patient’s health is my number one priority. I recognize the importance of our oral health and its connection to the rest of our bodies. Because of this, I pride myself on taking a comprehensive approach to dentistry that keeps you healthy and allows you to keep your teeth for a lifetime. In addition to general dentistry, I have developed a passion for correcting misaligned teeth and improving the beauty of my patient’s smiles with clear aligner therapy. I have also found a love for facial aesthetics and enhancing natural beauty by incorporating Botox and filler into my practice.

I am thrilled to be a part of the Santa Fe community and am so happy to call it my new home. I am an animal lover, have a passion for traveling, and am in my happy place being in the outdoors with my family.
