Dr William Herr

As one of the hardest-working dentists near Plainville, Dr. Herr not only provides high-quality care but also builds lasting relationships with each person who sits in his treatment chair. Desiring to pursue dentistry while in undergraduate school, he shadowed other professionals only to discover the kind of powerful impact they can have on a person’s life. After earning his bachelor’s degree from the Ohio State University, he enrolled at the University of Maryland’s School of Dentistry, receiving his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree. Passionate about prosthodontics, implant dentistry, and oral surgery, he opted to pursue a year-long prosthodontics and oral surgery clerkship. After graduating, he attended the Veteran Administration’s Advanced Education in General Dentistry residency program. There, he received further advanced training in endodontic treatment, periodontal surgeries, oral surgery, and implants. Dr. Herr remains an avid student, completing hundreds of hours of continuing education courses and staying up to date on the latest advancements in dentistry. He does this through his memberships in the Academy of General Dentistry and the Massachusetts Dental Society’s Leadership Institute.

To Dr. Herr, dentistry is all about forming relationships with patients. Before entering dental school, Dr. Herr had an opportunity to shadow other dentists while he was still earning his undergraduate education. It was in his time there that he realized how dentists could leave a positive impact on people as well as that person’s entire family.
