John P. Blake DDS Family Dental Care

What makes your practice special when compared with others in the area?

Although Dr. Blake’s office is a Family Dental Practice, he specializes in cosmetic dentistry. Porcelain veneers, crowns, implant crowns, whitening and composite resin fillings are just a few of the services that Dr. Blake provides. Understanding that most patients prefer to have all necessary treatment completed in the comfort and convenience of one location, the office is proficient in all aspects of dentistry. Countless smiles have been created and his satisfied patients are a testament to the superior results achieved. If straight teeth are your desire, invisible braces (Invisalign®) may be the answer. Dr. Blake uses only Michigan dental laboratories that fabricate the prosthetics in Michigan and use the highest quality materials. Because familiar smiling faces are comforting to patients, Dr. Blake is proud that most of his team has remained the same over the years. For instance, Tina Szeliga RDH and Beverly Avery, Insurance Coordinator, have each been with his team for 10 years. His highly trained, friendly staff cares for patients using advanced dental techniques, including cosmetic imaging and intra-oral pictures. Intra-oral pictures help patients see what the dentist sees, as one patient said, “It’s like sitting on my tongue and seeing my teeth up close and personal.” Dr. Blake and his staff feel that educating patients helps them to make informed treatment decisions. Stop in and see why his patients are smiling.

What are you and your team proud of at your practice?

With February being Children’s Dental Health Month, Dr. John Blake DDS and his staff are visiting the local elementary schools to provide entertaining and educational dental presentations. Each year, Tina Szeliga RDH (Dr. Blake’s dental hygienist) takes Allie the Alligator to the schools to show the children how to properly brush and floss. She also shows them the effects of poor oral hygiene and discusses nutritional factors that influence dental health. Dr. Blake believes in giving back to the community and is a member of the Orion Chamber of Commerce.
