December 1, 2009 by ·


Robert Antolak DDS, Shelby Twp. general dentist is worth a few extra bucks to go to.  In this interview his patient discusses why she came back to their relaxing Macomb County dental practice for her treatment.  She went to a 2-3 other “in network” dentists to realize that The Gentle Dentist is the place to be for her and her families dental care.  She states that even though money is tight the relaxing atmosphere, kind team, attention to detail, and personal touch are worth the difference that she has to pay for her treatment.  At Dr. Antolak’s dental practice, comfort is a primary goal that they work to achieve.  Our motto is: Relax while we take care of your smile.

The Gentle Dentist is located at 15055 22 Mile Road in Shelby Township, Michigan.  Dr. Robert Antolak specializes in Cosmetic Sedation Dentistry.

sedation dentistry-The solution for the scared and nervous patient.

September 28, 2009 by ·

At www.TheGentleDentist.com  we provide all phases of dentistry including cosmetic dentistry, dental implants and general dentistry for the entire family.  What is necessary with all our treatments is to get the potential patient into the chair.  This may seem obvious, but I can tell you of many who have avoided the dentist because of their intense fear of the dentist.  This fear is typically generated as a young child who had no say so on their care.  The dentist usually hurt them and they just had to endure the pain no matter how intense it was.  Being a child or even as an adult these patients were at the mercy of someone they feared.   After this horrible experience they make an agreement with themselves that they will NEVER, NEVER put themselves in this postion again.   After many years of internally battling with themselves to go to the dentist a situation will present such as a bad toothache or a broken front tooth  and they have no choice but to see the dentist.  And that is when we or other modern caring dentists come into play:

At our office we truly understand these fears and work at a pace appropriate to our patient to create a positive experience.Oral conscious sedation is a great way to have hours of dentistry done in one visit.   With the use of a small sleeping pill taken 1 hour before your dental appointment you will have virtually no memory of the procedure.  If you are:

  • Nervous from similar a bad experiences as described above and said “I will never go back to the dentist again”
  • Have a difficult time with gagging
  • Need a lot of dental procedures done but don’t have the time to return over and over again to get it done.
  • Need multiple procedures such as crown, extractions, root canals and implant placement done and you don’t want to go to multiple dental offices. 
  • The truth is that you don’t have to wait any more.

Dr. Antolak has been providing cosmetic, implant, sedation and general dentistry for the last 22 years so give us a call now for your free consultation at (586)247-3500 or visit our website at www.TheGentleDentist.com.  Our office is in Shelby Twp. MI.
