About This Provider
Dr. Nizar Merheb, DDS, MD, is the founder of Merheb Surgical Arts, an oral and maxillofacial surgery practice with locations in Peoria and Pekin, Illinois. Earning both a DDS and an MD sets Dr. Merheb apart from most dental specialists. This dual-degree path requires completing medical school alongside a surgical residency, giving him the clinical depth to manage complex surgical cases, administer multiple forms of anesthesia in-office, and bridge oral surgery with facial cosmetic care. The practice's procedural range spans wisdom tooth removal and dental implants through deep plane facelifts, rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery, and laser skin resurfacing. Finding this full scope of surgical and aesthetic services in a single private practice is uncommon in central Illinois. Dr. Merheb built the practice around one clear standard: precision surgery, exceptional results. Patients throughout the region have access to a surgeon who can evaluate and treat oral and facial surgical needs with consistent clinical judgment across both locations.
