Imagine calling a florist to order an arrangement for a friend. After selecting the type of arrangement, you’d probably be frustrated to learn that you had to call another company to order the vase, and then make another call to arrange for delivery.
When we find someone we trust, especially for services such as medical and dental care, being “referred out” to another caregiver in another location can leave us with uncertainty and inconvenience.
Once I started in dental practice, I quickly sensed the uneasiness of patients when telling them I was referring them to an orthodontist, oral surgeon, etc. I eventually began to add dental specialists to our team who were carefully chosen for their exceptional skill level and compatible commitment to patient care and comfort.
For example, when our patients choose dental implants, we can diagnose the best implant system for their needs, perform the placement procedure, offer oral or I.V. sedation, attach the final teeth to the implanted portion, and help them select from easy payment plans — all in one location.
For patients in need of replacing missing teeth, this ‘all-in-one-location’ option is a particular comfort. Through this, their overall treatment – start to finish – is made more convenient, more affordable, and occurs in the hands of people they know and trust.
At our Shelby Township dental office, we provide patients with all services for all ages of smiles, including dentistry for children, adolescents, teens, young adults, adults seeking smile makeovers, and adults at various stages of aging. Whether it’s a patient who has had his first ‘baby’ tooth emerge or an adult who has lost teeth over the years, our services cover all needs.
By having your complete dentistry coordinated under one roof, your dental health receives a major benefit. Since we KNOW the unique details of your oral health as well as your personal preferences, we can tailor what is appropriate for your individualized needs to what is practical for your current health and future smile goals.
For your child, we can help you get his or her growing smile off to a healthy start through early care and instructions, create custom mouth guards to protect during sports, and provide braces to ease teeth into proper alignment – all while overseeing their oral hygiene so they can avoid cavities and gum problems.
As adults begin to encounter challenges with their teeth or gums, we provide complete care for the treatment of periodontal (gum) disease, fillings, crowns, root canals, and extractions. If tooth loss occurs, we offer all options in tooth replacement, including crown & bridge, dentures, partials, and dental implants.
Oral surgery, when recommended for needs such as dental implant placement, wisdom tooth extraction, TMJ (jaw joint) malfunction, or other issues, is available to our patients in the hands of a skilled, gentle doctor who has been a member of our team for many years. We even have professionals who can diagnose and treat issues related to heavy snoring, migraines or headaches related to TMJ disorders and many stages of sleep apnea.
For people who want to improve the appearance of their smile, we utilize advanced skills and techniques in modern cosmetic dentistry to create a look, feel and function that is natural and flattering. Whether the need includes porcelain crowns, porcelain veneers, bonding, teeth whitening, gum reshaping, or realignment (available through traditional braces or Invisalign), we are dedicated to optimal patient comfort and well-paced appointments according to the desires of each individual.
Here, our patients are our family. We spend the majority of our waking hours interacting with these wonderful people who have chosen us to care for the best part of them — their smile! It is our unified commitment to be fully devoted to providing care to the high standards that we’d want for ourselves.
We believe people desire more than GREAT dentistry for their smiles. This is why we combine optimal care and skill levels with dentistry that is ethical, respectful and comfortable. If this one-location, personalized care environment is what you desire for your smile, begin by calling to schedule a no-charge consultation. Or, tap here to begin.
During this time, I’ll personally be glad to answer your questions and make recommendations that may be best for your needs and goals.
