Patient Reviews

Dr. Shushtari is a kind and caring dentist. I have a chronic disease that has destroyed my teeth, so I have allot of anxiety with dental appointments. My first appointment I was so happy that I finally found a dentist that I can trust and that truly cares. His assistant and receptionist were also very kind and helpful. My only regret is that I didn't find this dental practice sooner.

I was initially referred to Dr. Dave Shushstari while visiting a friend in Waterford & I was so impressed with the professional & kind treatment I received that I decided I would continue to drive from the Upper Peninsula for all of my dental needs. It may sound crazy but Dr. Dave Shushstari actually makes a visit to the dentist a pleasant experience.
His dental assistants & the receptionist are always welcoming & knowledgeable too. I expected to have at least a little pain during a tooth implant process but I have had absolutely none! I have never had a dentist whom I have trusted & liked as much as Dr. Dave Shushstari.

First, I want to admit I haven't been to the dentist in several years. A few months ago, I asked for some recommendations from my Facebook friends on where to go with the hopes in 2025 to start getting my mouth straightened out, now that I'm getting my health worked on. Well around Christmas, I started experiencing some discomfort and pain on my right side, but I was able to control with Tylenol and Ibuprofen, as it started to get worse, my primary care doctor added in Amoxicillin and that was working temporarily. Finally, I hit my breaking point and had to call the dentist to set up an appointment. After weighing several choices, I decided to go to Today's Smiles.
They were able to get me in this morning and the dental assistant Lory and Dr. Shushtari were awesome. After getting my history, x-rays, and discussion of my future with my teeth, they both suggested we save the teeth instead of extraction. I didn't even realize I was in the chair for 2 hours by the time they finished my double root canal. Everyone was very friendly, explained everything that they were doing, and made sure that I didn't feel the slightest bit of discomfort.
Honestly, this is the best experience I have ever had at a dentist. Here i am several hours later, still numb, but I'm not in any pain and feel very happy with the direction I am headed with my teeth now.

Kim, Lori, Dr. Shustari and Dr. Joelson are absolutely fantastic. Everyone on their team makes you feel like a guest in their own home. They make everything easy, painless… and somehow enjoyable! I never thought I’d look forward to getting dental work done, but I do with this team - it is why I drive 4 hours one way to see them. Best ever - I appreciate you very much!
