I was a patient for about three years. After I dealt with an extremely rude hygienist, I was considering going elsewhere. But they changed hygienists so I stuck around. They were watching a particular tooth decay for about two years… During those two years, I heard countless lectures about how I needed to change what I eat and drink and was consistently reminded about PAST behaviors (that obviously cannot be changed anymore) that “brought me here” so that I can stop the decay and not have to get this tooth filled.

At my last visit, the dentist literally LAUGHED at my teeth’s appearance (and said, “I’m laughing because your teeth look so funny”) so I left. Extremely unprofessional. Found a new dentist who informed me that this particular tooth they were lecturing me on for TWO YEARS has a ledge on it from a filling Great Lakes Dental “Excellence” performed and food is getting stuck, causing the decay. The decay is NOT my fault, I was specifically told by my new dentist.

I cannot recommend enough to GO ELSEWHERE.

Dr. Riley and Dr. Shelley are the best. They brought me in when i called about an abscess and took care of it that day. Ive had a few hygienist and they are all wonderful. They educate you without judgment. Ive been going over 20 years, moved an hour away, but Im not changing dentists!

I was treated like a long time patient and this was my first visit. The courtesy of the front desk to the professional detail my hygienist provided was top shelf. Nothing but positive reviews from me. Thank you for your professionalism!! The dentist Dr. Reilly explained everything to me so I could relate to what he was saying. So glad I chose Great Lakes Dental.

I truly can't say enough good things about this practice. At no point did I feel judged, pressured, or like they were pushing unnecessary procedures for profit. Instead, we were offered multiple treatment plans and given the freedom to choose whichever option worked best for us financially.

Saying that everyone at this office has been a Godsend is truly an understatement. If you’re looking for a dental office with people who genuinely care about you, stop searching and make the appointment — you’ll thank me later!
