Choosing a family dentist is a bigger decision than most people realize. You are not just picking a place for cleanings. You are choosing a long-term partner for your family's health, comfort, and peace of mind.
If you are looking for a family dentist in South Lyon, here are the things that matter most.
What to Look for in a Great Family Dental Practice
1. Care for Every Age, Under One Roof
A true family dentist treats everyone, from toddlers coming in for their first visit to grandparents who need restorative or cosmetic care. That means fewer offices, fewer appointments to juggle, and a dental team that understands your family's full history.
At East Lake Dental, we care for patients of all ages. Whether it is your child's first cleaning or your own smile makeover, our team is here to help.
2. A Focus on Comfort and Clear Communication
Dental anxiety is common, especially for kids and patients who have had difficult experiences in the past. A great family dentist takes the time to slow things down and explain what is happening.
Look for a practice that:
- Explains procedures before starting
- Encourages questions
- Creates a calm, welcoming environment
- Offers options for nervous patients
Our team believes no question is too small. We take pride in helping every patient feel comfortable, informed, and respected.
3. Comprehensive Services in One Place
The best family dental practices handle most treatments in-house. This keeps care coordinated and saves you time.
At our South Lyon office, we offer:
- Routine exams and cleanings
- Dental fillings and crowns
- Root canal therapy
- Teeth whitening
- Invisalign clear aligners
- Dental implants
- Emergency dental care
4. A Convenient Location That Fits Your Life
Life is busy, and convenience matters. A dental office close to home or work makes it easier to stay consistent with preventive care.
East Lake Dental is centrally located in downtown South Lyon at 201 S. Lafayette Street. We proudly serve families from South Lyon, Northville, Novi, Milford, Wixom, and nearby communities.
5. A Long-Standing Reputation You Can Trust
Experience and trust go hand in hand. Look for a practice with a strong track record and dentists who are invested in the community.
Dr. William Jenkins and Dr. Robert Borowiec bring decades of combined experience to East Lake Dental. Dr. Borowiec has cared for South Lyon families for over 40 years, and Dr. Jenkins continues that tradition of personalized, high-quality care.
Questions to Ask When Choosing a Family Dentist
When you call or visit a dental office, it helps to ask a few simple questions:
- Do you see patients of all ages?
- What insurance plans do you accept?
- How do you handle dental emergencies?
- What are your office hours?
- How long have you served the community?
