WELCOME BACK!!
We have been hard at work training and preparing our office to start seeing our patients again and we look forward to welcoming you back starting June 1. We’ve missed you!! And by the response we have received this past week, you have missed us also. We hope this message finds you and your family in good health and we are working diligently to get many of you caught up on your oral health.
Your safety is of the upmost importance to us. Our office follows the infection control guidelines from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), American Dental Association (ADA) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Our affiliation with these organizations ensures that we are up to date with the latest recommendations and guidelines.
As you know, infection control has always been a top priority in our office and you will notice some additional measures that we have implemented based on current guidelines.
Here is what you can expect:
Prior to your appointment:
You will receive an email or text to fill out any necessary forms online. This will make it more convenient for you and eliminate any paperwork in the office. One of these forms will be a COVID-19 screening questionnaire.
Upon arrival to our office:
We ask that you please call us when you arrive and to wait in your car until we either call you or wave you in. Please wear a face mask. We will provide one for you if you don’t have one. Your temperature will be taken in the foyer. Only the patient should come in for the appointment if possible. One caregiver or family member may come in with the patient and they must wear a face mask and will be screened.
At your appointment:
You will be asked to wash your hands or use hand sanitizer and then use a mouth rinse prior to your dental care. During your appointment you may notice some different devices that we will be using to help reduce any aerosol that may be produced.
We are excited to see you again and know that even though you may not see our entire face, know that we are smiling and happy to be back providing your dental care.

You know that dentures are used to address total tooth loss, but what if you’ve only lost one or two teeth? To prevent worsening problems and further tooth loss, you may need a prosthetic known as a dental bridge. In today’s blog, your Livonia, MI, dentist will explain how we use these bridges to treat tooth loss.
When you have a cavity, or a tooth becomes damaged or infected, then a restoration could help stop discomfort and safeguard your tooth. We could repair your smile with a full or partial dental crown. In today’s blog, your Livonia, MI, dentist will look at how we repair smiles with full and partial crowns, each designed to blend with your smile.
When you have a cavity, we could use a restoration to repair the tooth and prevent major complications. With a dental filling, we can also make sure your cavity treatment looks natural too! In today’s blog, your Livonia, MI, dentist will explain how we ensure our dental fillings blend with your smile.
Along with teeth whitening and porcelain veneers, we also have two unique cosmetic treatments that could transform your smile in only one visit. In today’s blog, your Livonia, MI, dentist looks at our lifelike and cost-effective dental bonding and contouring treatments. We want to help you enjoy a stunning new smile, without complicating your hectic schedule, so you can show off your pearly whites without hesitation!
Many of us have headaches somewhat regularly, but not many are aware that they can be caused by a misalignment of the jaw joints called TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) disorder. These joints connect your lower jaw to your skull. For a variety of reasons, your jaw joints can become unbalanced or misaligned. In today’s blog post, your Livonia, MI, dentist will discuss the causes of this order and ways he can treat it.
With teeth whitening, we have professional options to remove stains and brighten smiles by several shades! Your results will be more dramatic, and last much longer, than the results possible with over-the-counter treatment options. In today’s blog, your Livonia, MI, dentist will look at two of our options for removing minor or severe discoloration!
Our porcelain veneers are a custom restoration that covers the fronts and sides of your teeth. When in place, this helps improve the beauty of your smile, instantly masking multiple esthetic issues. In today’s blog, your Livonia, MI, dentist will explain how we transform smiles with them, and how we design and craft each one.
Each day, every member of your family from the youngest to the oldest, needs to brush and floss. These actions are essential for not only keeping your breath fresh and teeth bright, but avoid tooth decay and periodontal issues. However, to do so you need to care for your smile properly! In today’s blog, your Livonia, MI, dentist will talk about brushing and flossing the right way.
For people who have concerns about their appearance due to misshapen, damaged, discolored, or otherwise flawed teeth, information on cosmetic dental work can certainly be beneficial. As you look into your options for treatment, you may worry that no single procedure can do enough to make all of your desired changes. What you can find is that your Livonia/Detroit, MI area dentist is able to take on more than you may think possible in the span of a single treatment! One beneficial service we offer is treatment with porcelain veneers. By receiving custom veneers, you can undergo a treatment that changes the shape, size, and color of teeth to help you show off your ideal smile! (more…)
At every stage of life, we need specific treatment options to prevent oral health issue and preserve the stability of your smile. This is true for people in their senior years. In today’s blog, your Livonia, MI, dentist will explain how we provide quality care for the specific needs of our older patients.
