Patient Testimonials

I love coming here because Dr. Nadine actually is very professional and she’s a very patient doctor with us. She makes sure she answers all all the questions we have and most importantly I’ve done my Invisalign treatment with her. Before my Invisalign I felt like my smile not complete and my bite was not corrected properly and I have plans to do some more work after I get my teeth straining so I had to go through the whole treatment to fix that.

Dr. Nadine explained each phase and details and pretty much walked me through the whole treatment and also the timing because it’s very important to me and we start executing each phase one at a time and it felt like I’m not doing straining my teeth actually. It was very smooth and very easy. I’m actually very comfortable with my smile.

I love it and that’s what I always wanted. Huge thanks to Dr. Nadine and her staff for making this process fun, easy and perfect. I work in a professional environment and I smile a lot so it means a lot you know that you’re taking care of yourself.

You’re on top of your health and well-being so it’s definitely worth it and I recommend it for a lot of people to go with it.

This is probably one of the most professional and calming experiences I’ve ever had with a dentist. And I’ve had some good experiences, don’t get me wrong, but this is by far I think the most calming and relaxing experience. I like Dr. Nadine because she’s very personable, professional to the utmost, and very, very comfortable.

Her results and everything have been fantastic. I would say if you are having concerns about your smile or about your teeth in general, give them a call. I think you will find that you will have the same experience that I’ve had.

It’s been phenomenal. I have people come up to me out of nowhere and say, you’ve got a beautiful smile, and I’ve never had that before in my whole life.

My observation is that when we come in and the staff comes out right away to greet my clients and they immediately take them back. If there’s anything they are concerned about, they tend to that need. When I was here last week, I went in to see, they both were here for something, and so one of them was having his teeth cleaned and I went in and he had dark glasses on because the light was hurting his eyes.

My lady had her dark glasses on and a blanket, apparently she was cold. So it’s not just about the teeth, but it’s taking care of the well-being of the entire person is what I’ve observed and I appreciate so much. Taking care of all the needs for seniors I think is really important and to be so attentive to the dental needs.

The woman that I take care of worked in the dental field for 30 years, so she’s pretty picky, but she loves coming here. She loves Dr. Nadine and the staff and it’s not a problem coming. So it’s a very pleasant experience.

They love Dr. Nadine and I asked them specifically what is it they like about her. The gentleman said that he finds her to be very confident, knowledgeable, she knows what she’s doing and she does it as gently as possible. His wife also is just very pleased and she was somebody that worked in the dental field for 30 years, so she’s very picky.

And so while she’s upset about what’s happening to her teeth, she wouldn’t want to come anywhere else. She just loves Dr. Nadine. I guess the best thing I could say is that when we walk in the door, it almost feels like home.

And I’ve said that to the staff many times, I’ve said this is getting a little ridiculous. We come here very frequently, but it does feel like home. We’re very comfortable coming here, which I think is unique when you’re talking about a dental place.

And so I would recommend Dr. Nadine and her staff, 100%.

My main concerns in my wisdom teeth were I was starting to feel a lot of jaw pain, and all four of my wisdom teeth were going in at the same time, which actually caused some shoving towards my front teeth, which I am currently looking to get a consult for, and there’s a line here as well. But my biggest thing was I was feeling kind of nerve pain, and I was scared and nervous about getting them pulled. I actually procrastinated a couple years to get my wisdom teeth pulled, so I felt confident that I was at a good office.

I started to finish with gentle smiles. I felt, like I said, very welcome. Everything was explained to me.

They took their time to really ensure that I was familiar with everything, and I was prepared for the steps to come. From the beginning of my treatment plan until the end, even my post-op, my two-week post-op, they took the time to let me know, okay, this is healing very well. You know, we don’t see any concerns, any swelling, anything that I would be anxious about, and I would be a very anxious person taking post-op.

But thankfully, I don’t have any swelling, actually very minimal swelling, little to no pain post-op. I couldn’t even tell you what happened that day, though, because I was under IV sedation. I can say that went smoothly since I don’t remember much.

Prior to that procedure, every time I would eat something so minimal, even chewing gum, I would feel like an ache or a sensation that would really hurt. I just had to take a break from chewing. I initially thought it was like a TMJ, and they were like, oh, no, too easy.

Gotta get those pulled now. But that definitely, honestly, took such a toll in a positive way just for my life balance.

My smile before I came here, I wasn’t happy with it at all. I was always a little conscious about it. So it’s something I’ve always wanted to get done.

I’m a little older now, so coming in here and getting it done at this stage of my life has been a very great experience. The treatment plan that was presented to me right from the beginning has been followed to the T. So I knew exactly what I was getting. So she basically, we went through the process of what was wrong with my teeth to begin with and what we needed to do to get to the final stage.

So every appointment was one step toward that goal. And in terms of what was said to me each visit was, I guess, the next step. So if I knew I was coming in here to get my teeth cleaned first and some of the things that were needed at that point, I had that done and I would come in for another process, whether that be molds and that type of thing, and then the final result.

I love my smile now. Yeah, I love it.

I love coming to Gentle Smiles of Livonia because from the moment I first came in, my first impression meeting the whole staff, starting with Jen, very welcoming. I felt like, honestly, I belonged here right away. I couldn’t let that go, honestly.

They did a really good job calming me down. The dental assistant, Hattie, actually, that’s why I always keep saying pushing back there. The dental assistant, Hattie, was very, very helpful.

I think you could sense I was a little anxious and kind of cracked jokes with me until Dr. Nadine came back and we started talking about how my treatment plan would go. Honestly, it takes a lot for a dentist to have such good bedside manner. I feel like nowadays, everybody’s kind of rushing.

I honestly did not feel that at all with Dr. Nadine. She took her time, made me feel like not even it was just an appointment, but honestly, like I was talking to a colleague or a friend. Dr. Nadine was so humble with the whole thing, explained things in perfect human-to-human conversation, no medical jargon that would confuse anybody.

She even explained the process to me very slowly and simply. I would honestly say, if you’re having those concerns like I did, having dental anxiety, not feeling comfortable or unsure of how to proceed, GentleSmiles is definitely the way to go. I have zero regrets.

I’ve recommended so many friends and family, and I will continue to recommend them just because you really do feel like this is your family here.
