The Gentle Dentist: Opiniones
Experiencia fantástica: I can’t say enough good things about this office. From the moment you walk in, the staff is so welcoming and the office is spotless. Dr. Antolak truly lives up to his name- kind, patient, gentle, honest, and incredibly reassuring throughout the entire visit. He takes the time to explain everything and genuinely cares about his patients. The fact that they even pray for you is something so rare and meaningful these days. It made such a difference and brought so much comfort. I’m beyond thankful to have found this office and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dentist who truly cares. This office is truly a blessing!
Experiencia fantástica: Premium care and comfort are utmost in entire professional staff! Highly recommended.
Experiencia fantástica: I had a tooth that was moving and with an infection. Dr. Antolak removed it and cleaned the area. I really appreciate his professionalism and readiness to help. Thank you.

Experiencia fantástica: Great office! Caring doctors and staff.
Thank you so much for the kind words. We certainly strive to do our best and have the best Dental experience ever. God bless you, Dr. Antolak
Experiencia fantástica: Probably the best and most thorough cleaning I’ve had in recent years - no more coffee stains - Kudo’s to Christine!
Experiencia fantástica: I've been a patient at this dentist for nearly 15 years and I can confidently say it's the best decision I've ever made. The staff is incredibly warm and extremely well-informed. Doctor Antolak is not only an exceptional dentist but also a true gentleman. Thank you, kind dentist, for always being there.
Experiencia fantástica: I had put off going to the dentist for an EMBARRASSING amount of years due to severe anxiety caused by a traumatizing experience when I was very young. I finally mustered up some bravery and was very fortunate to find this business. I honestly cannot say enough Nice things about the staff. Their kindness almost brought me to tears. They were wonderful at understanding my fears and anxiety, they explained everything very thoroughly to me and they really took their time. ZERO pain, never was even uncomfortable! My teeth look and feel absolutely amazing! If you think it’s too late, it’s not. I’m going back next week for a couple fillings and I actually feel excited to get this taken care of. I honestly, cannot wait to go back for my six month cleaning. I feel so happy and confident, and my smile looks bright again! Do not wait! This is the perfect place for anyone feeling overwhelmed.
Experiencia fantástica: The receptionists were so friendly and my dentist kind and funny . He would detail every thing he was going to do . I enjoy the friendly faces.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr.Antalack is the gentle dentist and his staff is amazing to! I had a lot of work done and never needed to be put under. Dr Antalack and staff took care of everything. We sat down and made a plan. I knew what was going to happen and how much it would cost,even before I had the procedure done. Dr. Antalack called from his home phone before the procedure and called me the next day, making sure everything was OK. I'm on my final steps of healthy gums and teeth and owe it all to Dr Analack and his staff!❤️ I couldn't smile without them!!!!❤️ I love all of you! Thank you so much for everything!!!
Experiencia fantástica: Great staff and everyone starts the day with a prayer. Highly recommended and super clean. After my first visit, the doctor even called me to follow up and wanted to make sure that i am doing okay. Date: 10/14/2025, visiting after couple of years gap. Still the same, great service, friendly staff. Everyone are very gentle and helpful.
Experiencia fantástica: I honestly dont know why anyone would go anywhere else. I have SEVERE anxiety about going to the dentist, which has led to ignoring my oral health. The ENTIRE staff put my mind at ease, made me feel comfortable, and actually get over that fear/anxiety. I've never said this before, but I'm looking forward to my next dental appointment!
Experiencia fantástica: Very professional and resonably priced. The staff and dentist were very helpful friendly and knowledgeable about what I needed.. Can’t say enough about them . Can’t wait for my new dentures. My beautiful smile awaits.
Experiencia fantástica: Excellent mad me feel very comfortable rob and his staff was so friendly and down to earth. I highly recommend him for your dentist. I was very relaxed and was laughing a lot with rob and his staffs. Best experience ever. He is very knowledgeable and will give you the best way to go and he will explain it all to you in English Not dentist talk. Lol.
Thanks Sharon. We do like to have fun here since visiting the dentist can be stressful and as they say that laughter is the best antidote to stress. Thanks for the kind words. Dr. Antolak
Experiencia fantástica: This office is amazing! From the moment I walked through the door and was greeted by sweet Barbara, to extremely kind Joanna taking me for a tour of the office, and comforting me with all of my anxiety. Then meeting Dr. V who is absolutely awesome too! I forgot the name of lady that set up my appointments she was great too! I truly felt genuinely welcomed and no judgement. I would give you 100 stars if I could. Amazing office. I look forward to start my treatment plan with Dr V. Thank you all
Experiencia fantástica: Friendly experienced staff who really care about you as a person as well as caring for your teeth. Highly skilled dentists and hygienists. Dr. Antolak can handle even the toughest of cases. He goes the extra mile to explain your situation and has state of the art equipment for identifying and resolving your dental problems. Have had extractions and complicated bone grafts and implants all done well and sometimes combining steps that lead to quicker recovery. They listen and are ready to help without any pressure. You can’t go wrong with the best!
Experiencia fantástica: I cannot say enough good things about them!! I recently moved and I drive 2.5 hours just to go to their dentist office!! The staff is super friendly and I actually enjoy going to the dentist!!! I cannot highly recommend enough!! Absolutely love them there!
Isabella, it was certainly a pleasure to work with you today and get you looking beautiful for your wedding. God bless you and who you are in your excitement about life.
Experiencia fantástica: I have been to many dentists, and I usually dread it for weeks before my appointment. I LOVE the Gentle Dentist! They genuinely care about you. The doctors and dental assistants work together seamlessly! I am so happy with my experience here and I will let everyone know how great they are at the Gentle Dentist!
Thank you, Fran. You are certainly a joy to work with and we love you too.
Experiencia fantástica: When i say im a panic patient, i mean it... its been over 20 years since i've been to a dentist for any care other than emergency. Today i met the team and can honestly say it was the best dentist experience i have ever had.... Everyone from the front desk (Hanna and Barbara) to Joanna and christine to the dr herself.. kind, gentle and welcoming. I am so glad to have found this office for all of my future needs!
Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Antolek is an amazing dentist! After coming from other dentists that caused more harm then good I was very Leary about dentists on general. After being recommended by a friend I went last summer and I feel like he will now be my forever dentist. He puts me at ease and I completely trust him and his staff. It’s nice to feel at peace going to the dentist again.
Experiencia negativa: * Scammy billing * Emergency number call back was 4 days later * Make sure your insurance covers this. Say you have Delta Dental which covers out of network they will make it sound like you will pay a little bit more. Delta will still pay most of it. What they don't tell you is Delta sets the price and the coverage is based off that you still have to pay the distance. They said they can't do a pre authorization being out of networks gave me the codes for the next treatment said they can't do it and call Delta. I called Delta they said they can't do it and the dental office is wrong they can do pre authorizations bring out of network. If they did the pre authorizations to begin with I knew I would be paying hundreds of dollars and went elsewhere. * I was told by the densit I shouldn't have any pain with the filling. On a side note it's close to the root and said it was iffy if need root canal. Not blaming him. That was on a Thursday. He said to call the next day if I am in any in pain. I called at 10a on Friday and didn't get a call back from the on call densit till late Tuesday morning. I will say the inical dentist was very good with the support staff and all the gentile stuff. But I went elsewhere to save lots of money on a put of network dentist that went by delta rates and did so pre authorizations. The new dentist let me wear my own headphones and I could tell I was the first to ask.
Eric I am sorry you were so unhappy with our services. I wish you the best in the future and we usually call back if you have issues. Your situation fell in between the cracks. Once again we will take note of this mishap.
Experiencia fantástica: This office is wonderful. Everyone that I have encountered from the dentist to all staff members are amazing people! They do outstanding work!
Experiencia fantástica: I am very happy with the services provided from Dr Antolak and the gentle dentist. They did amazing work. Even tho they changed how they work with delta dental. I was reimbursed 1 week later from delta. They submitted the claim and it was very quick. Thanks again.
Experiencia fantástica: The best dentist around, very patient and understanding. I recommend then to everyone I know! Also excellent cosmetic work
Experiencia fantástica: I got excellent service! I switched to this dentist after 18 years with another provider. One of the things that delighted me was, instead of giving me a regular toothbrush when I left, they gave me a brush head for the electric (Sonicare) toothbrush that I use. Christine did a great job cleaning my teeth. It is such a delight to have recently cleaned choppers.
Experiencia positiva: Very nice staff. They do good work. Unfortunately they will no longer accept Delta Insurance after the new year. I am leaving with a bunch of temporary crowns and will have to find someone else to finish the job. You can pay them up front and they will give you what you need to submit to Delta. Too risky in my opinion.
Paul, I am sorry to hear that this is your decision. Our reason for being an out of network provider is that we have been under the control of delta dental for many years and want the best for our patients. Just to make it clear, we do all of the paperwork and insurance billing for you. We are NOT dropping them, as you have no paperwork to do. We ask to make the financial arrangements at the time of service and you will get the money directly from Delta Dental. Once again you do not have to submit anything. The only way we can continue to provide the level of care is to not be dependent on the insurance company. By the way, sInce you only get $x of money each year it is a benefit and not insurance. If you have additional questions please call us and when you realize that you are not getting the level of service band care at another office you are welcome back. God Bless you, Dr Antolak
Experiencia fantástica: I've been to a lot of dentists in my lifetime and Dr. Antolak is the best by far. In my opinion he is not only the best as far as skill, but he also has taken me in at the last minute when I have had a major issue/problem.
Thanks Craig.
Experiencia fantástica: My name is Stacey and I went to the Gentle Dentist for a full set of dentures. Dr. Antolak was very professional and kind. The entire staff was helpful and sweet. I would highly recommend this dentist.
Thank you Stacey. You have come a long way. Have a blessed day
Experiencia fantástica: I have been going to The Gentle Dentist for the past two years. It has always been a pleasant experience from beginning to end. The office is warm & pleasant. And all of the staff is the same. I definitely recommend The Gentle Dentist, especially for those fearful of dentists like myself.
Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely the best experience I've had at a dentist...thank you for your kindness cause I am petrified of the dentist....and working with us on the price and so reasonably priced...
Experiencia fantástica: So glad I found this place! I have a lot of issues and they were able to get my immediate concern dealt with on my first visit and we're making a plan for the rest! The care was so kind and gentle. I'm used to people working on my mouth and I was expecting the usual but I could hardly tell she was working aside from the noise of the drill! I really appreciate their work and I'm excited to continue visiting for my dental needs.
Experiencia negativa: I called to ask if they treat toddlers they said yes they do. We explained to them what issue the child is having and they went ahead and scheduled the apt. We took my niece in for them to just take a look and say she needs to see a pediatric dentist and charged us $97 dollars. Unethical
Experiencia fantástica: Everyone in that office is a 5 star! Would highly recommend, dental work is always high anxiety! The Gental Dentist makes it very comfortable and the hygienist are there to provide you with excellent care.
Thank you Joe. I really enjoyed seeing what you do as a hobby being a beekeeper. Have yourself a blessed day.
Experiencia fantástica: I have been wanting a new dentist for the past year. Always the fear how to find one. Today I was very pleased with not only Dr. Thomas, but the entire staff the minute you walked in the door could immediately tell this is my new dentist office. Dr. Thomas took time with me, explained and eased my mind for upcoming treatment. Highly recommend if looking for a new dentist.
Experiencia fantástica: I would give 10 stars if I could! They are patient, kind, understanding and a no judgement practice. Wonderful group of people that work there and always have a smile on their face! Dentists and hygienists are just wonderful! I’ve recommended them to many family and friends and will continue too! God Bless them all!
Experiencia fantástica: Such an Amazing Dentist and staff! Everyone is so knowledgable and caring. I love the fact that they are Christians and even when extremely busy at any time the staff will pray for you upon requst. They are patient loving and treat you like Family .
Experiencia fantástica: I have a dentist phobia.....it's been 20 years since I have been to a dentist. The whole team was very understanding and absolutely worked with my weirdness. From the front desk staff, to the assistants, doctors and hygienists.....good caring folks. Dr. Thomas was great to work with. The hygienist Christine was kind, speedy, patient and gentle and got me through it. Definitely and highly recommend!
Thank you so much Steve. We appreciate you kind words and observations
Experiencia fantástica: The staff was extremely friendly and I felt as though I was walking into a calm environment. I appreciated the prayers surrounding the walls. I felt like my dental exam was thorough and informative and my dental hygienist was super kind and took great care of my needs
Experiencia fantástica: I had a great experience with Dr. Shane Thomas while getting a filling done. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a friendly and professional staff. The waiting area was clean and comfortable, and I didn't have to wait long before being seen. Dr. Shane Thomas was exceptional. They took the time to explain the procedure to me in detail and made sure I was comfortable before starting. Throughout the process, they were gentle and caring, which really put me at ease. I could tell that they were experienced and skilled at what they do. The filling itself was done quickly and with precision, and I experienced zero discomfort. Dr. Shane Thomas and their assistant were both very attentive, making sure I was comfortable throughout the entire procedure. I highly recommend Dr. Shane Thomas & the team at the gentle dentist!
Thank you
Experiencia fantástica: It was the most encouraging and thorough dental visit I have ever had. Staff was super friendly, polite, and helpful. Dr. Shane Thomas was phenomenal. Explained everything in detail with patience and compassion. Looking forward to my next visit. The clinic truly lives up to its name, The Gentle Dentist.
It was an absolute pleasure working with you Anuja! We are Beyond Blessed to have Dr. Thomas as part of our Team! We are looking forward to serving you at your next visit as well.
Experiencia fantástica: Six crowns was something I have been putting off for awhile now. Got them done, very little pain ( the mouth guard was the worst part). In a few weeks I will be getting the permanent crowns!! Can't wait to see the progress with these new choppers. Thanks to the Gentle Dentist staff that makes my visits enjoyable.
Experiencia fantástica: If you're looking for a dentist this is the place to go. Everyone in the office is very helpful and Dr Robert Antelock is a wonderful dentist very thoughtful and understanding and explains what's going on with your teeth and what we can do to correct them highly recommended
Experiencia fantástica: Marjorie does a great job always a bubbly person. Staff always helpful great people. Also always have a good experience when I come in God’s blessings to all of you.
Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely love this Dentist office and highly recommend. This office is filled with kindness & compassion. Let’s face it, not everyone loves going to the dentist, but here, you know you will be taken care of comfortably, professionally & respectively.
Sara~ Thank you for the Encouragement and recognizing that it is our utmost priority to be sure you are experiencing Kindness & Compassion. We know we are not the "favorite" place to visit however, we are So Happy you feel well cared for here. That's why we are all here. Have a Blessed weekend.
Experiencia fantástica: Always a great experience. Professional and caring in every way. Grateful that my family and I can go to a dentist fully confident that we will receive the best care.
Experiencia negativa: I am actually very dissatisfied. And disgusted with your practice. Your way of addressing a dental emergency is an incoherent way. Making somebody wait over two months for what needs to be aI am actually very dissatisfied. And disgusted with your practice. Your way of addressing a dental emergency is a incoherent way. Making somebody wait over two months for what needs to be addressed now is morally wrong. As I’ve said, in my Google review, when you sign up for the medical field, you have to realize that there will be emergencies and you will not work. You’re scheduled 9 to 5 hours. I could write a whole bunch more, but I have other things I have to accomplish with my valuable time. The standard of care will soon be a term that’s going to come up a lot for you and your office in the near future, because the standard of care was not met
Experiencia fantástica: My son had knocked out one of his top front teeth. He’s normally a pretty nervous guy when it comes to medical/dental appointments or procedures but here at The Gentle Dentist he was very well taken care of. From the moment we walked in the door to the time we left, everyone was caring and supportive of his needs. I really can’t thank everyone enough for the time, care and support they gave us.
We appreciate your kind words. I am glad that you were able to experience all that we can provide. God Bless you
Experiencia fantástica: Best dentist ever. I stopped going because I moved, but I went back because they are so good and GENTLE and they don’t rip you off. I get anxious at the dentist’s, and they do everything they can to make it easy. Friendly staff. Highly recommend.
Thank you for your kind words and seeing our intention as we want to always do the right thing. Have a Blessed day
Experiencia fantástica: They’re always so kind and efficient! I went in for a cleaning where they found a cavity. They were able to make room for me to get the filling that day with no wait! These are the most beautiful people. And they actually care! I will always recommend them.
Experiencia fantástica: Had a great visit! Everyone makes you feel very comfortable and like you were there for a social visit. I had a cleaning and a filling done and honestly if it wasn’t for the friendly conversation, I was so relaxed I could have taken a nap! The office is named The Gentle Dentist and it truly is. Before I came to this office I avoided the dentist. Now I have no problem coming to my visits. It is a great place! Thank you for being there for my family!
Carmen, we really enjoy our visits with you and appreciate your warm kind words. Our team works really hard to make our office the environment that it is where we can create a safe comfortable space for everyone. One of the highlights of our days are the interactions we have with patients like you who help keep our cup full as we pour into others on their dental journey. Thank you for keeping us encouraged and being part of our dental family.
Experiencia fantástica: We absolutely love the Gentle Dentist, and all of the practitioners and staff that work there. They are family-oriented and genuinely care about the patients as individuals! Their knowledge, skill and experience are unmatched. You are definitely in good hands here! Recommend without reservation!
Its a pleasure to serve you and all the patients that come through our doors. We understand and respect the trust people place in us when they select us to care for themselves and their families. Every morning we start our day off with prayer, praying that we are able to provide nothing but our best for the people we will be serving and we are so grateful for the opportunity to do what we love everyday.
Experiencia negativa: If you have an emergency after hours both #s they provided.. no one calls you back ever! Had to find another dentist for my emergency which was very frustrating.. days later no call back to me after leaving numerous voice messages.
Experiencia fantástica: The best dental group I have ever met. I had some negative experiences in the past, but with Dr Thomas and his team's professional and kind approach, I found the best care! Excellent dental care here.
Experiencia fantástica: Amazing place !! I was able to get a same day appointment when I called in for a toothpain. Was a bit nervous about the new place, but the staff and the doctors were so warm and welcoming. The staff there is truly exceptional and they make you feel so comfortable. Highly recommend.
Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Thomas is awesome he made every experience amazing. Love this place I wish we could have found this place sooner. We will be bringing our kids here from now on.
Experiencia fantástica: All of the staff share the same compassion for making patients comfortable. They make anxious people like me feel at ease. I arrived with a broken tooth and full of nervousness. I left with a repaired tooth and stress/pain free! They were able to get me in same day to fix the cracked tooth. Great practice with great staff. Thank you!
We are so glad we were able to do get you out of pain and ease your dental anxiety. As we walk with you through your dental journey we look forward to helping you lift the weight of anxiety off your shoulders and replace it with trust in knowing you are cared for and have a team by your side through it all.
Experiencia fantástica: I made an appointment with Dr. Rosenthal because my regular dentist suddenly told me I had THREE cavities that needed to be filled which seemed strange. I had never had that many cavities at one time. I'm glad I got a second opinion! Two old fillings were cracked and needed repair, but that was it. The office employees here are incredibly nice and very easy to talk to. The dental assistant, Klatilda, and Dr Rosenthal put my nerves at ease and did a wonderful job repairing my fillings. The initial new patient exam was very thorough and each step was explained in detail. Dr Rosenthal was kind, thorough and made sure I was comfortable with no pain. I'm so glad I found this office and made the switch! Thank you gentle dentist!
Experiencia fantástica: This is the best dental business I've ever been a part of. The top notch staff here is a direct result of how Dr. Antolak is as a person and as a Dentist.
Experiencia fantástica: Excllent doctor, A little pricey but well worth the money. He does a great job!!! He fixed my bad crown from other Dentists They jacked up my mouth so bad I couldn’t eat. Plus he seems like he really cares about what you need. Great frendly staff.
Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Thomas is very kind, patient and very efficient. The whole staff is amazing. I enjoy my experience being at this dental facility. I would recommend it to anyone.
Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Antolak & his team are the best! They have eased my fear of having dental procedures. They are very sensitive to my fears and put those fears to rest right away. I walk into their office with a smile and leave with an even bigger smile.
Experiencia fantástica: After a 30+ year absence from Dentist due to a bad experience, I lucked into the friendliness, most compassionate Dentist you could ever dream of and not only did they take me in at the last minute, they stayed late to conduct 2 painless root canels on me to relieve major pain...I will recommend the Gentle Dentist to anyone that will listen and have make them my new personal Dentist. Thanks team!
Experiencia fantástica: The Gentle Dentist is by far the best dentist I've ever been to and I've been to more than Id like to admit. Dr. Thomas and the staff are amazing, not only at their jobs but as people. They are like a big family. Your not just a patient they make you a part of the family as well. Hands down best Dentist office in all of metro Detroit. On that note make the appointment and see for yourself. Thank you so much Justin Basilisco
Your kind and encouraging words about the team we have here speaks volumes. It’s always been our goal and drive to make a difference in dentistry and create place that is more than just your average Dental practice. It’s our constant desire to improve and become all God created us to be. Thank you for helping keep our team inspired!
Experiencia fantástica: Dr Thomas and the staff does a superior job. I am a very VERY anxious patient and they do a great job of trying to elevate my anxiety! I also like praying prior to treatment! That is important to me…. Thank you for tolerating me!
Experiencia fantástica: I love the care and concern that I receive from The Gentle Dentist. The entire staff is genuine. Awesome atmosphere and service.Todays visit was too-notch! I love that I can get quality care, but also genuine care and concern for me as a patient. Loved Dr Antolak stopping and praying for me and my son.
Experiencia fantástica: I had gone to Dr. Antolak years ago and had a wonderful experience.My husband needs a lot of dental work so I suggested Dr. Antolak. I know he wil be comfortable and satisfied. Thank You!
Experiencia fantástica: Great doctors, skilled staff, attention to detail. Great service and care supported with value! Dr Robert even took time to pray with me before starting as he knew I had difficulties with gagging. I highly recommend them with or without insurance give them a call.
Experiencia fantástica: The team at this office is top notch…kind people who always interact in a professional manner. I am always impressed with all staff members from check in, billing and, of course, dental care is wonderful too!
Experiencia fantástica: I cannot say enough good things about Dr.Antolak, Dr.Thomas, and the entire staff! Everyone is extremely caring, kind, and friendly. Both my teens and little kids love going as well! My eight year old needed some fillings and was very nervous…everyone was patient with her, worked to explain everything that was going to happen, and made sure she was pain free during the entire procedure. I am so appreciative for such a wonderful experience EVERY time we go! What a blessing this practice has been to our family!!
There is nothing more rewarding then helping the whole family feel good about their dental experience! Kids can be a challenge as all parents know and we understand that they require extra attention and patience to ensure they are comfortable. We are so happy that your daughter had a good experience with us and we look forward to continuing to help her and your whole family build a positive relationship with dentistry for years to come!
Experiencia fantástica: I have never felt so comfortable in a dentist office in my 50 years of life. The ladies and gentlemen that work here are very sweet and make you feel like you are important. I recommend if you have a fear of dentist this is the office to come to. The lady I caregiver for goes hear and they are absolutely awesome people hear
Experiencia fantástica: Professional and kind, a rare combination. They were ready at my appointment time and the cleaning was thorough and quick. Been a patient for years and happily so.
Experiencia fantástica: Everyone was very kind and helpful. I would highly recommend this dental office to anyone looking or for anyone who has had a negative experience somewhere else. They have been great
Experiencia fantástica: First time at this office because of a cracked tooth and altho I didn’t like the pain I was in, I’m glad I found this place. I had called in the afternoon and they were able to get me in the next morning. The staff were very professional and the office was very clean. One thing that stood out to me is the friendliness between the staff and the patients and their family’s. It was not just sigh in and take a seat. They seemed to a friend’s bond with one and another which meant that there was a trust and care with each other to me. As far as my tooth it had to come out as I suspected but it did come out “Gently” and I had a great experience overall.
Thank you so much Orlando for your feedback. Many people come in just like you, in pain and in need of immediate emergency treatment and it’s our privilege to be there to help. It’s our goal to make sure you feel safe, informed, and at home with our team while we attend to your dental needs. Having a tooth removed is never easy, but when you have the right team to support you it can make all the difference. We look forward to continuing to serve you!
Experiencia fantástica: Great service. Caring staff and wonderful dentist! Love the Christian atmosphere and music too! Check ups, cleanings, fix and repair, whatever is needed, you will have a top notch experience.
Experiencia fantástica: I brought my 97 year old Dad here. They took care of him as if he was a celebrity. Dr. Antolak and staff took immediate care of the issue, and left my Dad feeling very confident about changing to make The Gentle Dentist his new dentist. Thank you Dr. Antolak and staff!!!
Hi Diann! It’s our mission to make every patient feel like a celebrity! We know how scary change can be so we do everything within our power to make that transition smooth, especially when you are in immediate need for treatment. It warms our hearts to see the dedication you have to your fathers overall health and we are proud to be his new dental home!
Experiencia fantástica: Such a great experience every time! Dr. Thomas & his staff really care about your happiness! They make sure that you’re comfortable and well informed about procedures. I used to hate going to the dentist, but now I love it! If I could give a million stars I would!
Experiencia fantástica: I wish I could give more stars! They immediately calmed my fears from the very first phone call to schedule my appointment. It PERSONALLY helps me to know that they're also faith based (I had no idea prior to literally walking into their establishment and hearing worship music and reading scriptures on the lobby wall). That helped me even more because my faith is a part of EVERY decision I make. I only wish they were closer to home lol. But they're truly worth the drive <3 :). Dr. Thomas and Joanna are true blessings and I'm so happy I found this place. I'm not going anywhere else and I already referred my family to them. I honestly have nothing negative to say at all. This is the first time I'll ever say I can't wait to go back to the dentist lol. Thank you Dr. Thomas and Joanna!!!!
Experiencia fantástica: The Gentle Dentist staff have been wondeful w my son Eric. Eric has issues and has been terrified of dentist. Since with Dr. Antalak Eric enjoys going to the dentist and is comfortable with them. Margie is his hygienist and he is happy to see her and work w her. Many thanks to this great dental practice.
Experiencia fantástica: Dr Antolak and his team provide world class dental care. I have had nothing but problems with my teeth since I was a child. The construction of my mouth makes it very challenging to work on. Dr Antolak is the first dentist who has ever overcome the difficulty. Outstanding work!
Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Antolak was very forthright and approachable. He was able to answer all my questions and had a calming experience. A true Christian disciple and highly recommend him.
Experiencia fantástica: Great place, staff are very friendly and makes you feel relaxed in any procedure. Dr. Thomas and Dr. Antolak are both amazing and good! They both handled my procedures and everything was just perfect! Very good in their line of work…They are indeed..the Gentle Dentist! And not all dentists will make a follow up about how you feel after the procedure, but they do, which makes them different from others.- Kareen Caparros
Experiencia negativa: From the reviews online, I thought this dentist office would be a good fit for me since I have anxiety. I knew already that they wouldn’t take Medicaid, but because I was planning to pay out of pocket with money I have saved for the extensive dental work I need, I made the 3 hour drive to get to the exam. The exam went fine. After, when I was at the front desk ready to schedule my next appointment, the behavior of one of the workers completely made me change my mind. She was an older woman, I’m guessing around 60 something. She brought me the price overview for the next visit. As I was looking it over, she said “Maybe you should get insurance or something.” I responded, “I have Medicaid for insurance, but I already know you don’t take that.” And she LAUGHED IN MY FACE. She said “Well go find a clinic that takes that then!” and walked away. The other woman at the front desk then asked if I wanted to schedule my next appointment. I said no. Just...very rude behavior from the older lady. Was condescending at best and deeply offensive at worst.

Experiencia fantástica: The Dentist office was never my favorite place to go, but with their concern and compassion mixed with professionalism and knowledge ..that reassures me that this is the best dentist office for me ! Highly recommended ! My smile couldn’t be happier
Experiencia fantástica: I just started going to The Gentle Dentist this week and have been there 3 days in a row. The reason is that I’m changing employers and my new insurance won’t be quite as comprehensive as my current. They were so accommodating to fit me in and to have several fillings, a crown, and an impression for a bite guard done over 3 days when I’m off work and have the better coverage. The front office staff are so friendly and go out of their way to help you with your insurance coverage. My family recommended The Gentle Dentist because they have been so pleased with their dental care. My last dentist was okay, but I was just looking for something better. I have definitely found that here and I’m so glad I took their recommendation! Dr. Thomas is an amazing dentist, such a nice person with an outgoing and friendly demeanor. Right away I knew I liked him and thought, “Wow! I could even be friends with this guy outside of here!” He is just that nice! He is very meticulous and does exemplary work. My fillings and crown were done with perfection in mind and I’ve never been to a dentist who is so patient and kind. Some of my family also see Dr. Antolak and say he’s great as well. The dental assistants, hygienists, and office staff are also super knowledgeable, friendly, and they really care about what they are doing. They do incredible work and you will notice the difference. You can tell that this office is staffed by incredible people that are the best-of-the-best! If you’re looking for a dentist and want to feel welcome in a super-clean and upbeat environment staffed by only the best, try The Gentle Dentist! I couldn’t be more happy! Keep up the wonderful work!
Thank you so, so much for your kind words Joseph! We appreciate the opportunity to meet and work with you. Looking forward to seeing you soon! May God bless you and your family!
Experiencia fantástica: I was very impressed with Dr. THOMAS and his staff. It was my first visit and thought they were thorough in my examination. So friendly and kind. I thought they went the extra mile explaining their procedures. I was recommend by my sister Teresa. I'm so happy I took her advice.
Thank you for your kind words Barbara! I appreciate you allowing me to serve you! May God bless you!
Experiencia fantástica: The staff is ALWAYS kind, considerate and very professional. Very uplifting. Whether you are there for a cleaning or other work on your teeth, your comfort is very important. The dental work of the dentists is amazing.
Experiencia fantástica: Cleaning went very well without any discomfort. Dr Thomas did the oral exam thoroughly. He took the time to discuss what I would like done and gave me a few options to consider. Friendly staff all the way around!
Experiencia fantástica: Let me start by saying I have always struggled with going to the dentist. I have a horrendous fear with going . Today I had to have two teeth removed, I was so nervous going in, but the staff was so patient with me, making sure I was comfortable and checking on me repeatedly! They are awesome. You can tell they really care about each patient! I may still get nervous but Knowing I can go to the Gentle Dentist makes me feel a lot better!
Experiencia fantástica: Dr Antolak and his team basically saved my life. I’ve had a few major head and neck surgeries over the years. After facial reconstruction I come see him and he always comes through to fix my teeth. My last surgery I could only open my mouth 3/8” and he was able to scan my mouth and make me a lower partial. I was very skeptical but it fit perfect and I wear it 24/7. My face also looks cosmetically straighter. For me, it’s a pleasure to visit the “Gentle Dentist”.
Experiencia fantástica: Extremely accommodating and overwhelming love and service in there hygienist and staff members. My husband and I have been going to this office for years now and we’ve been pleased every time with our fillings, cleanings and other services and hospitality. Thank you gentle dentist for your attention to detail. - The Jenkins

Experiencia fantástica: The Gentle Dentist is a place where you feel safe and comfortable when you go to the dentist. My entire life I never was able to make it to my dental appts until I came to see Dr. Antalek and his staff. I am so happy that I found a place where I have no fear of coming in. The staff makes you feel at ease and is so friendly. I haven’t missed any appts and I look forward to going every 6 months. Jessica is my personal favorite hygienist.

Experiencia fantástica: The kindest and most genuine doctor I have ever been to. People truly take the time to connect with you and make sure all your questions and concerns are addressed.
Experiencia fantástica: Doctor Antolak is so gentle and caring and attentive. I came in with so much dental work to be done and he did not give one word of judgment that I put off the dentist for so long. He eased all my fears and I had my first two root canals and felt no pain at all.. It made me look forward to getting all the rest of my work done. I could hardly eat without pain and I feel better than ever. All of the staff there are so calming and cheerful. I am so grateful.
