About
Nestled in the residential community of Eggertsville in Amherst, New York, the practice of Dr. Ronald H. Jarvis, DDS, MSD, stands as a distinguished pillar of specialized dental care, particularly renowned for its dual expertise in Orthodontics and Periodontics. For decades, this practice has been synonymous with clinical excellence, personalized patient relationships, and a commitment to creating healthy, beautiful smiles that last a lifetime. Located at 590 Sweet Home Rd, the practice is built upon a foundation of advanced education, profound experience, and a philosophy that treats patients as family, not just cases.
The history of the practice is deeply intertwined with the professional journey of Dr. Ronald H. Jarvis himself. A graduate with high honors, Dr. Jarvis furthered his education by earning a Master of Science in Dentistry (MSD), a credential that signifies a deep commitment to research, academic rigor, and clinical mastery beyond the standard dental degree. His unique path led him to achieve specialized proficiency in two critical and complex fields: Orthodontics, the art and science of aligning teeth and jaws, and Periodontics, the specialty dedicated to the health of the supporting structures of the teeth—the gums and bone. This dual specialization is exceptionally rare and forms the core of the practice's unique value proposition. It allows for a truly holistic approach to oral health, where the alignment of a smile and the foundational health of the gums and bone are treated not as separate issues, but as an integrated system.
The mission of Dr. Jarvis's practice is rooted in providing comprehensive, specialized care with compassion, integrity, and unwavering attention to detail. The practice operates on the principle that optimal oral health is a cornerstone of overall well-being and confidence. Dr. Jarvis and his team are dedicated to diagnosing and treating complex dental issues with a level of nuance that only a specialist with his combined background can offer. The practice environment is intentionally designed to be warm, welcoming, and comfortable, alleviating the anxiety often associated with dental visits. From the initial consultation through every stage of treatment, patients experience a collaborative partnership where their goals, concerns, and comfort are paramount.
What truly sets this business apart from general dental practices and even many specialist offices is this unparalleled dual-specialty focus. For a patient requiring orthodontic treatment, such as braces or aligners, the presence of in-house periodontal expertise is invaluable. Dr. Jarvis can simultaneously monitor and manage gum health throughout orthodontic treatment, preventing potential complications like gingival enlargement or bone loss that can sometimes arise during tooth movement. Conversely, for patients with periodontal disease, his orthodontic knowledge can inform treatment plans that may involve minor tooth movement to create more maintainable dental architecture following periodontal therapy. This integrated perspective prevents patients from being referred back and forth between separate specialists, ensuring continuity of care, streamlined communication, and often, more efficient and predictable outcomes.
The practice's expertise is evident in its service offerings, which span the full spectrum of traditional and modern orthodontics, including metal and ceramic braces, Invisalign clear aligners, and early interceptive treatments for children, alongside comprehensive periodontal care such as scaling and root planing (deep cleanings), periodontal surgery, bone grafting, and dental implant placement. This makes the practice a true one-stop destination for complex restorative and aesthetic dental needs. Dr. Jarvis is particularly noted for his meticulous, hand-crafted approach to orthodontics, paying extraordinary attention to the fine details of occlusion (bite) and facial aesthetics to achieve results that are not only straight but functionally sound and naturally beautiful.
In an era of corporate dental chains and high-volume practices, Dr. Ronald H. Jarvis's office remains a bastion of personalized, doctor-owned care. He is actively involved in every patient's treatment plan and progress, fostering long-term relationships that often span generations within families. His dedication to the profession is further demonstrated through his commitment to continuing education and maintaining active professional memberships. While the practice embraces modern technology and techniques, it never loses sight of the human element—the trust placed in them by their patients. For residents of Amherst, Eggertsville, and the greater Buffalo region, the practice offers a rare blend of world-class specialist expertise delivered with the personalized touch and genuine care of a community-focused healthcare provider, making it a unique and trusted institution in Western New York's dental landscape.
