Payment plans at our office include:

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 light hearted, 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.

With the loss of countless jobs in Michigan and the attempt to cut costs dental insurance has been cut out for many Shelby, Sterling Heights, Washington Township and Clinton Twp. Michigan residents.  Preventive dentistry is by far the best way to eliminate painful experiences with tooth pain and wallet pain.  Prevention will help keep the costs down because the early treatment of dental problems such as gum disease, cavities and missing fillings will save you money.  It can be expensive to treat more complex problems so it is our desire to help by offering our discounted prepaid dental plan that we call “The Gentle Dental Plan” 

Here are the details:

• $247 for those 16 and older  and $187 for children under 16 will get you:
• 2 dental cleanings
• 2 examinations including  your initial exam
• complete digital xrays and follow up xrays.
• Series of digital photos of your mouth that you can see on our 19″ computer monitor.
• 12% off of our fee for any additional dental procedures.

The value on this is around $465 so this is a great value and because it has been prepaid there is a focus and attention to preventive dentistry.  Your dental cleaning, exam, xrays and photos are done in a private “non-clinic” setting where you will feel very comfortable getting your care done.  This is not only a great value, but can prevent other systemic diseases such a heart disease and diabetes by focusing on the preventive nature of your oral health.  Call today at (586)247-3500 or go to our web site at www.TheGentleDentist.com
