Celebrate Her Glow This Mother’s Day!

V. O. (Verified Patient) I’ve spent most of my life avoiding the dentist because of how discouraging my past experiences were. Growing up, I was constantly made to feel like I had the “worst teeth,” I was a kiddo prone to cavities that dentists seemed to scold me for and as an adult I carried that shame with me. After 5/4 years without a dentist visit , I walked into Gentle Smiles that completely flipped that story. From the moment I checked in, the front desk treated me like a person, not a problem. They made me feel seen even though I know how busy and stressful their job is they took time to stop, actually acknowledge me and talk beyond a typical front desk staff. By the time I sat down with Ashley, my hygienist, I felt more comfortable than I ever thought I could at a dental office. She gave me a tour, offered me a blanket, explained every step, and made what I had dreaded most - a deep cleaning, surprisingly gentle. I’d always heard how painful it could be, but Ashley’s care, experience and use of local anesthetic made it feel manageable, even easy. Within 20 minutes of chatting with her, I felt like I was catching up with a friend. From talking family wedding drama to wedding DIY ideas… definitely forgot I was sitting in a dentist’s chair. Dr. Nadine is equally remarkable. Instead of confirming my fears, she reassured me that my teeth weren’t “beyond repair” just in need of a deep clean and a few fillings before I start the cosmetic work I want done for my upcoming wedding. She struck the perfect balance of being highly knowledgeable while also approachable, relatable, and genuinely kind. I loved that she connected with me on something personal, like her recent wedding planning, while also making sure we built a strong healthy foundation before moving to cosmetics. I also noticed briefly how she spoke with older patients and made it clear she knows how to meet each person where they are, she treats everyone with dignity and warmth beyond patients, her staff too. What sets this office apart is that nothing feels rushed or transactional. Every question I asked (even the silly ones, and I ask a lot of questions) I was met with patience, humor, and a real desire to help me understand which helps the anxiousness. I walked in expecting judgment and left feeling encouraged, cared for, and honestly excited to come back. If you’ve ever dreaded the dentist, worry mental health struggles that lead to poor mouth hygiene, or past poor experiences like I did, Gentle Smiles will change the way you see dental care. I can’t recommend Ashley, Dr. Nadine, and the whole team enough they’ve given me both comfort and confidence at a time in my life when everything is high stress and I want to feel my best.

D. C. (Verified Patient) Terrific team of professionals, clean and welcoming environment, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Dr.Nadine is focused on patient care and making you comfortable regardless of treatments. I highly recommend the team at Gentle Smiles of Livonia.

J. D. (Verified Patient) An excellent experience first time there made me feel welcome. The staff was amazing.

J. A. (Verified Patient) Everyone was so kind - and it's great to know I can have sedation if I want it!

K. L. (Verified Patient) Very pleasant experience. Knowledgeable and professional.

S. J. (Verified Patient) This was by far the best dental experience I’ve ever had! Dr.Nadine was amazing I didn’t feel a thing the whole time even when she was numbing me. I’ve always had terrible dental anxiety and they were awesome, caring, and explained everything. The dental assistant was also very kind and talking to him kept my mind off of it all which was a wonderful distraction. The team that breaks down the treatment bill is also amazing they make sure you understand everything and even help you figure out how to pay for it. I’ve never felt so cared for at a dental office in my life! Will definitely be back and recommending them to everyone I know!

D. T. (Verified Patient) Always amazing staff. Came in for a denture repair and they made me feel like I was their only patient. Amazing work guys !

P. B. (Verified Patient) They really are gentle and knowledeable.

C. F. (Verified Patient) This was my first time visiting Gentle Smiles of Livonia. I had an Invisalign consultation. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and Dr. Nadine was very knowledgeable and thorough.

Verified Patient Not only is Dr. Nadine an amazing dentist, she has the most incredible staff! They are the most caring and considerate group, as well as being the best at what they do. I can't express how absolutely wonderful they all are including Alyssa, my hygienist. I'm moving out of the state soon and will not be looking for a dentist in the city I'm relocating. I will be making my regular dental visits to Dr. Nadine, Alyssa, and the entire staff because I will never find anyone like them. Do yourself a favor, start seeing her as your regular dentist along with her staff. You will see what I'm talking about. They're like my family.

B. K. (Verified Patient) This is a great Dentist office!! Clean, well staffed, always on time and friendly!!

S. C. (Verified Patient) I enjoyed meeting and having Dr. Husseini is very nice, pleasant and professional, with some fun. I enjoyed the staff and how they treat you. I think that that is all you can asked for is a good office visit.

J. C. (Verified Patient) Very polite made me feel. Completely comfortable

P. N. (Verified Patient) Very friendly staff, Dr. Nadine very thoroughly explained what needed to be done and why. Never felt pressure to get anything other than what i needed. Cleaning was easy and painless. All smiles from me (pun intended) 😁

A. M. (Verified Patient) Amazing staff! The front deck lady was so nice and helpful! Got my dentures repaired and re aligned in under an hour Amazing service
