The team

Three dentists, two hygienists and a front desk that actually picks up the phone. Everyone works from the same plan, so you never repeat your story.

Founder & Dentist

DDS, University of Michigan School of Dentistry

Ada opened Brightleaf in 2015 after eight years in a large group practice where she was told how many crowns to sell each month. She does restorative work, implants and root canals, and she is the reason every treatment here gets a written price before it starts.

Dentist

DMD, Case Western Reserve University

Marcus sees most of the children who come through the door, and a good share of the adults who have been avoiding dentists since childhood. He explains everything before he does it, and he has never once told a nervous patient to relax.

Dentist

DDS, University of Detroit Mercy

Hana handles whitening, veneers and clear aligners, and she is blunt about what cosmetic dentistry can and cannot do. If a case needs an orthodontist rather than aligners, she says so at the consultation instead of at visit four.

Front Desk Lead

Patient care coordinator

Tara answers the phone, checks what your plan actually covers before you come in, and remembers which of your kids hates the flavor of the fluoride varnish. If a bill ever surprises you, she is the person to call.

One plan. One team.

We show you before we drill

You see the photo or the X-ray, hear what it would cost and decide, before any treatment starts.

We refer when it is not for us

If your case needs an oral surgeon, an endodontist or an orthodontist, we say so and help you get there.

We watch and wait when we can

Small spots get photographed and re-checked at your next visit instead of drilled today.

Meet them at
your first visit.

Book an $89 new patient visit with any of our dentists. Same-week appointments, most dental plans accepted.
