Patient Coordinator at The Gentle Dentist in Shelby Township Michigan


Hi, my name is Jessica. I work at Dr. Antolak’s office, The Gental Dentist in Shelby Township. I work as a part-time dental hygienist and also as a part-time patient coordinator. When I’m not cleaning your teeth, I’ll be at the front desk doing many sorts of responsibilities. And I took on the responsibility of patient coordinator because I wanted a full-time job at this office because I love this office so much. I love everyone who works here, and I feel like Dr. Antolak is a great dentist. The rest of his staff are very nice and friendly and make you feel very comfortable. So that’s why I took on the job as patient coordinator on top of my dental hygienist duties.

And at the front desk; I answer the phone, I’ll make new patient appointments and I’ll see you, I’ll greet you, I’ll check you in and I’ll check you out.

Thank you.

The Gentle Dentist Experience


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.

The Gentle Difference in Macomb County, Michigan


Hi, my name is Doctor Antolak. I am the owner of thegentledentist.com. I’m a graduate of the University of Michigan, 1987.

What I want to do is to tell you why we’re so different here. Number one is we want to treat you like you’re family. So, we’re going to welcome you into our office as one of our family, and we want to make sure when we treat you, we want to treat you like you are one of our family.  20-something years ago, when I was a sophomore in dental school, my instructor said, “if you want to do a great job on your patients, numb yourself up” and so I did, right at the very front of the mouth.

It was in that moment of time that I realized how painful it can be. And I also learned that at the time that is important to go slowly with the injection.  I’ve taken that same principle and applied it to every aspect of what we do here at our office. So over the last 25 years, I’ve been able to help patients who come in with a lot of fear. I have compassion, understand them, listen to their stories, help them to come up with solutions to help them with their mouth. In that way, we come up with the solution. They can smile. They can feel good about themselves. We can help them to change their lives around. So hopefully with you, whether you’re in need of just a cleaning, or you’re, embarrassed of your smile we’d love to have you in to our office. We’ll just do what you desire for yourself to have done.

Thank you and you have a blessed day.
