Michigan Geriatric Dental Care

Michigan Geriatric dental care is a distinguished dental practice situated in West Bloomfield Township, Michigan, with a primary focus on serving the unique dental needs of the geriatric and homebound population. The practice is led by Dr. Mary M. Fisher, a highly experienced Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) who has been practicing in the West Bloomfield area since 1981. Dr. Fisher established Michigan Geriatric Dental Care in 1982 to address the specific challenges faced by elderly and homebound individuals in accessing quality dental care. This dedication is evident in their offering of both traditional in-office appointments at their West Maple Road location and comprehensive mobile dental services. The mobile practice allows Dr. Fisher and her team to provide care in various settings, including private homes, assisted living facilities, and skilled nursing homes throughout the Metropolitan Detroit tri-county area. The services provided by Michigan Geriatric Dental Care are tailored to the complexities of geriatric oral health, which often includes issues like periodontal disease, root cavities, ill-fitting dentures, and considerations related to systemic health. Patients and their caregivers consistently praise Dr. Fisher and her staff for their compassionate approach, gentleness, and ability to make dental visits comfortable and stress-free. Reviews highlight their professionalism, thoroughness, and the personalized attention given to each patient, often noting the team's ability to put patients at ease. Dr. Fisher is committed to providing a high standard of excellence in patient care, continuously engaging in continuing education to stay updated with the latest advancements in dentistry. She is a member of several professional organizations, including the Oakland County Dental Society, the Michigan Dental Association (and its Forensic Dental Identification Team), the American Dental Association, the International Congress of Oral Implantologists, and COHA (Coalition for Oral Health for the Aging). Beyond her practice, Dr. Fisher is actively involved in the community, serving as a trustee at the University of Detroit Mercy and an ambassador for Oakland University's College of Arts and Sciences, as well as a board member for Motor City Lyric Opera. This extensive experience and dedication underscore Michigan Geriatric Dental Care's commitment to improving the oral health and overall well-being of the elderly in Michigan.
