The Gentle Dentist Experience
August 16, 2011 by · Leave a Comment
This is Robert Antolak, the owner of the gentle dentist. I’d like to welcome you to our office. I’d like to tell you a little bit about my background. I’m a graduate of the University of Michigan in 1987.
And since that time, and even before, I learned what it was to be gentle to our patients. When I was a sophomore in dental school, my instructor told us. He said, “You know what, if you want to do a really good job and not hurt your patients,” he said, “what you need to do is to numb yourself up.” And I did at that time.
I learned the best way of doing it. And I learned that it hurts if it’s done too quickly.
So, now when I inject somebody and get them numbed up, I do it with that level of compassion and understanding that I don’t want to hurt you. So, I’ve taken all these years of experience that I’ve had and, and I want to give it to you. As you come into our office, give you the latest techniques, the latest in technology and also a lot of compassion and understanding. You know, we get people come in here every single day had really bad experience at the dentist.
The beautiful thing is we’re able to transform your smile, we’re able to help them with their appearance, we’re able to help them with their self-esteem and how they feel about themselves and I consider that a true blessing and joy when I can able to do that. So, why don’t you become part of our patients, our family of patients and give us a call. So, looking forward to seeing you.
High technology at The Gentle Dentist’s Dental Office in Macomb County, Michigan
March 7, 2010 by ·
At The Gentle Dentist located in Shelby Township, Macomb County, Michigan we pride ourselves in the fact that we combine High technology with High touch. Our team of dental professionals aim to make your visit to our dental office in Shelby Twp. the most positive experience at a dental office as possible. With a lighthearted, compassionate environment many of our dental patients say what a great place this is to even visit.
How then do we incorporate our dental technology with the gentle touch? That is easy-We use the technology as a tool and not an excuse to ignore our dental patients.
The following are examples how we use technology at our dental office located at 22 Mile Rd. just west of Hayes which is 2 miles north of Sterling Heights:
- We are a paperless dental office so this means that any forms are sent to you online to be filled out in the privacy of your own home so that when you arrive at the dental office you will only need to review the information you filled out and sign off on our tablet PC. This is convenient when you have the time and have access to your medical and dental information.
- Digital x rays and panoramic x rays. With the use of digital x rays your exposure to radiation is decreased by 50-60%. The image appears on our screen within 4 seconds of exposure. If a different view is needed there is no need to wait which is common with x ray film. This also makes us a “green dental office” since there are no harmful chemicals disposed of and used.
- Electric dental hand pieces are used for precise control of the drill and is quieter than the air driven drills used by many dentists in the Macomb County area.
- Digital photos of both your smile and mouth make communication and understanding much easier which take the guess work out of it. These can also be emailed to you for your own use.
- Computer based educational systems are used to allow you the dental patient to have a better understanding of the procedures that are recommended to you.
These are only a few of the unique high technology tools we use for our dental patients in the Washington Twp., Clinton Township and New Baltimore areas. For more information please visit our website at www.TheGentleDentist.com or call (586)247-3500.
