About us

About our Royal Oak dental office

This office has looked after families in Royal Oak and Berkley for more than 50 years. Some of our patients have been coming here since they were kids, and now they bring their own children to Dr. Ansari and Dr. Dollar.

How we like to work

We try to run the kind of dental office we'd want to go to ourselves. That means explaining things in plain English, not rushing you, and treating your comfort as part of the plan instead of an afterthought.

We know your time matters. We stay open until 7 on Mondays, open two Saturday mornings a month, and do our best to run on time. We know money matters too. We'll recommend what's right for your long-term health and your budget, and we'll tell you what can safely wait.

We can't promise you'll love going to the dentist. We can promise you'll be treated kindly and never made to feel like a difficult patient.

What we care about

What a good visit looks like here

Modern equipment

Digital scans have replaced impression trays for crowns, aligners and implant work. Digital x-rays use far less radiation than film and show up on the screen in seconds, so you can see what we see. Our 3D CT scanner lets us plan implants and complicated cases here, which means fewer trips to other offices.

A team that stays

When Dr. Ansari took over the practice, he kept the team. Many of them have been here for years, and we try to book you with the same hygienist each visit. Dr. Ansari and Dr. Dollar approach treatment the same way, so you'll get the same answer from either of them.

Comfort, your way

For some people comfort means nitrous oxide. For others it's a single dose of anti-anxiety medication before a longer visit, ear protection and a blanket, or a first visit where nothing happens except a conversation. Ask for what helps. Our dental anxiety page has the full list.

Prices up front

We take most dental insurance and file the claims for you. No insurance? Our membership plan covers your preventive care for one yearly fee. For bigger treatment there's financing. Either way you'll see your options and prices in writing before anything starts.

Technology

The technology in our office

  • 3D CBCT scannerA 3D scan of your jaw, nerves and sinuses, taken in our office in under a minute. We use it to plan implants and All-on-X, check wisdom teeth and find problems a flat x-ray can miss. The same machine takes panoramic x-rays.
  • Digital x-raysFar less radiation than old film x-rays, and they're on the screen in seconds, so you can see what we see.
  • Digital impressions (Primescan)A small wand scans your teeth in 3D. No goopy impression trays for crowns, implant teeth and other restorations.
  • Intraoral cameraA pen-sized camera puts a close-up of your teeth on the screen, so you can see a crack or cavity for yourself.
  • Guided implant surgeryWhen your case calls for it, we plan each implant on your 3D scan and place it through a custom guide made from that plan.
  • Smile trials for veneersOur lab designs your new smile and you try it on in temporary material before any work is done, so you can see it and change it.
  • TVs in every roomPut on a show while we work. It helps the time go by.
  • A paperless officeOnline booking, a patient portal and digital forms. Your records and x-rays are digital and kept secure.
