She is a Platinum Invisalign® Provider and has the prestigious distinction as a Fellow of the American Academy of Clear Aligners. Starting with our iTero® scanner, Dr. Houck will take a fast and precise 3D digital scan of your teeth and map out a custom treatment plan. With this scan, she can start designing your ideal smile today! The Invisalign® system has been used to treat more than 14 million smiles and can help us give you a fresh new smile that combines beauty and function.

We offer a variety of cosmetic treatments including bonding, veneers, crowns, and orthodontics, which are designed to restore and complete one of your most important personal assets—your smile!

Periodontal Treatment

Gum disease is a condition that affects millions of people—its symptoms usually go unnoticed until a visit to the dentist for an oral exam. Neglecting it will cause problems like loss of teeth, permanent bad breath, and deterioration of the bone that supports the teeth. Gum disease can sometimes even lead to more severe health conditions affecting the heart. If indicated, Dr. Mellert and his team use a series of specialized treatments designed to restore your smile, starting with advanced gum therapy and deep cleanings—giving your mouth a chance to become healthy again!

Oliva Licea

Simply the BEST in the South Bay! I saw Dr. Houck for Invisalign after receiving poor Invisalign treatment at another dental office. Dr. Houck is a true professional; highly competent, very knowledgeable, patient, understanding, caring and compassionate. Dr. Houck treated me throughout the nine months of treatment (yes, every single appointment), and always made me feel comfortable and answered all my questions! Because of you, I smile in photos now, something I never did before. Thank you so much for the excellent care you provided, Dr. Houck:) I am also very grateful for the excellent care provided by Dr. Mellert and wonderful dental hygienist, Connie:) The staff is friendly and professional. Comfortable environment. I trust and highly recommend Dr. Mellert and Associates for your dental care. Thank you so very much, Dr. Houck, Dr. Mellert, Connie and staff!

After an accident when I was a teenager I’ve been to the dentist most of my life. Dr. Singer recommended Dr. Mellert to me and my husband. He has done an amazing job for both of us. I am so thankful to find him. He and his techs are wonderful and I highly recommend him…Thank you all so much!!

Cole Coleman

Dental Hygiene appointment today with Connie at Mellert DDS And Associates: My teeth feel perfect again; smooth and slick. Thanks, Connie!

Ron Sorace

I had a problem with my bite alignment, a remnant of error by a previous dentist over 20 years ago. Other dentists had attempted correction over the years. Recently I started seeing Dr. J. Mellert-Houck who was able to resolve this issue in one short visit. It was extraordinary and I was thoroughly impressed. Charge was minimal. She is an exceptional dentist. The practice uses state-of-art technology for imaging which allows them great insight and analysis before treatment. She is also an orthodontist, a service which I may find useful now that I know the quality of her work.
