Upon entering the door I knew that I was in good hands. Dr. Yilmaz and her team took the time to educate me on what was really going on and the health implications it could have. The focus was first on my health and then on my transformation. and wow, my smile is so amazing I cannot stop looking at my teeth. Never have I had this level of care - beyond exceptional. I am so thankful that I found this team!

Never thought I would find a dentist that was as passionate about her work as Dr. Yilmaz. My restorations look natural and so much better than my previous crowns. Dr. Yilmaz takes the time to make sure everything is optimally functional as well as esthetically pleasing. At DGY they make sure you are comfortable every step of the way. Love this practice and recommend them highly!

A friend who is a dentist recommended this practice and I have been very glad that I followed her recommendation. Dr. Yilmaz was extremely thorough at my initial visit and subsequent checkups. Took the time to explain everything well and took pictures of each tooth! I had an old filling that had caused a crack in the tooth and Dr. Quell was able to remove the old filling and fix the crack with a new filling painlessly and efficiently. So impressed!

It's been a long time since I've gone to a dentist and I had lots of anxiety. They not only accommodated me but literally released any fear I had previously. So caring, compassionate and helpful. This is where you want to be.

An extremely professional, courteous and friendly staff. My visits are always on time. Dr. Quell explains the procedures well and provides the best care for his patients with excellent service. Dr. Quell and the staff make you feel very comfortable throughout the entire visit. I would highly recommend DGY Dentistry to anyone. Love my smile. thank you!

I was delighted to have my first cleaning and exam with the newest addition to the DGY team, Aihab. He is very thorough with a gentle touch. He is a very skilled hygienist that showed genuine concern for my comfort during the visit. He has an excellent chairside presence that gives a sense of calm to the appointment. Highly recommend! Another great addition to an already stellar team!

After years of being terrified of going to the dentist, I found this dentist office from google reviews and decided to give it a shot. I have a lot of work that needs to be done to correct the years of not going to the dentist and keeping up with treatment, but they have been great working with me and making sure I'm comfortable every step of the way. I highly recommend this dentist office and Dr. Quell has been wonderful!

DGY is the gold standard for dentistry! They are incredibly professional while remaining very friendly and caring. I had not gone to the dentist since I started college, and I was very nervous to choose a new one. 5 minutes into my first appointment, I felt right at home. They are efficient and helpful. I had an embarrassing number of cavities, and they have done a really excellent job fixing me up. I always leave their office with a brighter smile into a better day!

DGY Dentistry is the best dental experience I have ever had. My son is on the spectrum, and has always been terrified of dentists. This is the first time he has ever been comfortable going to a dentist, and he trusts everyone in the office. The quality of the work they do is unsurpassed, but it's more than that-they make you feel like you matter. Absolutely recommend.

I had a cracked root canal from a prior dentist, and Dr. Yilmaz and her assistant Shannon did a terrific job with the extraction and bone graft. Dr. Yilmaz is extremely professional, and she and Shannon handled my extraction and bone graft with ease. Dr. Yilmaz ordered pre-surgery protocols that made me feel she was in control and considered my recovery.

The surgery was completed professionally and with expertise, and most importantly, the post surgery was painless. I literally had zero swelling. The office is very welcoming and comfortable - Danielle is great. The entire staff is wonderful. I wholeheartedly recommend DGY Dentistry; you won't want to go anywhere else.

I have been with Dr. Donaldson for over 30 years, when he was a professor at University of Michigan. He just retired and Dr. Yilmaz is just as amazing. I live in South Florid, and fly up to see her. It's the best dental care anyone can ever have. State of the art technology.

DGY Dentistry is a first class organization on all levels. From reception, office management to most importantly patient care. Let's be honest, who looks forward to dentist visits? DGY changed that for me. Dr. Donaldson, Ann, Jessy, Allison and Danielle are among the staff that have taken very good care of me and helped me regain better oral health. I appreciate and highly recommend their practice.

I love DGY! They are the most caring, conscientious dentists I've ever had. Nobody has ever taken such care and been so concerned for my comfort while getting anything done on my teeth, even cleaning. 100% recommend!

I cannot say enough positive things about the DGY team and Dr. Yilmaz. I have never been happy with my problematic teeth. And have never left the dentist feeling good. I wanted to get on track with my dental care so I could have a beautiful smile for my upcoming wedding. Dr. Yilmaz did not disappoint! In a surprisingly short amount of time I have the smile I've always dreamed about!

I am in awe everytime I look in the mirror. If you are on the fence, don't hesitate. You will feel comfortable, and cared about. Excellent care, excellent team of compassionate people

My experience at DGY dentistry has been great. I've always been embarrassed of the shape and color of my teeth and Dr. Yilmaz worked hard and was very dedicated to giving me the smile I wanted. She gave me multiple options and DGY dentistry was straight forward with the prices on everything. She was very willing to work with me and made sure throughout the whole process of getting multiple crowns on my front teeth that everything was perfect. The entire staff is professional and helpful. I highly recommend DGY dentistry.

This has been my dental practice for many years and I have recommended it to many friends. The quality of the dental work is exceptionally high as is the customer service. By far, I have had the highest standard of dental care here at DGY, compared to past dentists. The office environment is also beautifully designed to maximize one's sense of calm.

In addition to routine cleanings, I have had new crowns, crown replacements, bonding, implants and skin grafts done, always with the most current dental technology. The attention to patient comfort by both the dentists and their highly skilled technicians is also outstanding, which I greatly appreciate given my anxiety about any dental procedures.

I have also had crown work done on teeth in the front of my mouth and can attest firsthand to the very high quality of the aesthetic and cosmetic work at DGY Dentistry. Most recently, I needed a crown replaced, which Dr. Yilmaz and her technician, Shannon, attended to. The procedure was both painless and free of anxiety for me, thanks to their sensitive approach and the well-deserved confidence I have in their dental skills and concern for my well-being. I give the DGY Dentistry practice my highest recommendation.

DGY is amazing, I would highly recommend them if you are looking for dental care. I always see Kristen as my hygienist and she is friendly, professional, and does a great job with cleanings and care. Everyone on staff is very helpful and willing to answer questions and help you with concerns. They have also been very flexible with changing appointments to accommodate my work schedule, and Danielle is always fast to respond to schedule requests and billing questions.

I can't say enough great things about DGY Dentistry! Going to the dentist has always given me anxiety, but DGY Dentistry makes the experience as easy and enjoyable as possible. The receptionists are always kind and welcoming. The dental hygienists are mindful of your sensitivities and very personable. Doctor Quell is gentle, patient and attentive. I'm so happy with my care that I've recommended them to friends and family who aren't even in the market for a new dentist!

DGY Dentistry are the best dentists and dental health care professionals in Ann Arbor. We have been clients forever. Their level of care is amazing. Dr. Donaldson has always insisted on state-of-the-art care, and with that, state-of-the-art technology as well. Everyone, and I mean everyone, at DGY is caring, kind, and professional. I highly recommend them

Exceptional dental care! I moved to A2 two years ago and needed a dentist. I'm in the process of planning for cosmetic work and have been here for consults for veneers and have gotten my dental cleanings here too. So happy to have found DGY and know I'm in very good hands!

This is a wonderful practice. I've been a patient 25 years and even when my long term, wonderful dentist retired, Dr. Yilmaz stepped in and was just as wonderful. It's so calming, so friendly, so understanding of anxiety or allergies to varies agents if those issues afflict you (as they do me). And yes, they always have the latest technology to speed things up -- in a good way.

If they are more expensive, by a few dollars, I assure you, they are worth it. They have never tried to sell me on something that wasn't right for ME (I have crooked teeth, but my gum health comes first). My daughter moved to Chicago and still can't make the break from this practice (even on a grad student stipend).

I have been a patient (as has the rest of my family including my mom before she passed away) of DGY Dentistry for over 20 years and have seen each of the dentists in the practice as well as most of the hygienists and the technicians and they are ALL terrific. When I first arrived, Dr. Donaldson patiently walked me through the work I needed done after several very bad experiences I had had with prior dentists. I've used many of their services including preventive cleaning and check ups, cavities filled, root canals, replacement of several degenerating old crowns, implants of 2 teeth I lost, bite splints, and even Zoom whitening. I would recommend the entire practice as hands down the best I have ever been to.

5 big stars! I used to work here before moving out of state. I have been away for 3 years now and worked in several other cosmetic offices in Los Angeles/Hollywood. To this day I have yet to find any cosmetic dental office that compares to the artistry of DGY. Even their simple fillings are unmatched. Worth every penny. You won't be disappointed.

DGY Dentistry is an outstanding practice, with highly professional office and clinical staff committed to exceptional patient care and equally exceptional customer service. I have been a patient for over twenty years and have always received thorough state of the art dental care from each of the dentists, most often from Dr. Kirk Donaldson, my primary dentist.

The dentists have the highest standards for the quality of their very progressive and comprehensive clinical and aesthetic procedures. They also are highly sensitive to the patient experience and take great care in ensuring their patients experience as minimal discomfort as possible. The office staff and dental hygienists and technicians excel in their work with patients as well. I highly recommend the practice and have sent many of my friends and family members to become patients at DGY Dentistry.

DGY is a true world-class establishment. The waiting area is so comfortable. The entire staff is super nice and really cares about every patient. Dr. Yilmaz has been more than wonderful to me. I schedule my appointments in the morning because I know my visit will have a profound positive effect on my entire day. I didn't always go to DGY and I actually used to hate the dentist.

I switched to DGY ~7 years ago and now I love going to the dentist. I'm moving across the country in 6 months but I will remain a patient and schedule appointments when I visit friends/family in Ann Arbor because I love this establishment so much. One time I was having severe wisdom tooth pain that aches all day and made it impossible to eat.

I thought it's because they were growing in too tight. Dr. Yilmaz was able to get me in immediately, diagnose it as a gum infection (which I would have never considered), cut, mold, and patch my gums on the spot, and prescribe me antibiotics that helped a ton.

I have been going to this practice regularly for the past four years. They are a quantum leap above any other local practice, in technology, in kindness, and in expertise. I know they are not the cheapest dental practice in town, but they are likely the best, and I am so glad I found them.

I might not normally take the time to leave a review, but after reading the one star review from an obviously very disturbed person, I have to say that the partners in this practice and all of their staff are nothing short of amazing. I have been a patient for over 25 years, and in that time I have never had a moment of unexpected tooth pain, because I follow the plans laid out for me by them. if you are the type of person who waits until your car breaks down, leaving you stranded and having to spend more than if you had maintained it appropriately, perhaps this is not the place for you.

Of course, healthcare is expensive, and we live in a country that doesn't provide even basic care for its citizens, so we all have to buy insurance or pay. That is not the fault of Donaldson, Guenther, and Yilmaz. This practice keeps up on current techniques and technology, and it pays off in comfort for their patients. The staff are uniformly and consistently professional and kind.

Since my husband switched to this practice three years ago his gum health has improved markedly, and he often tells people he LOVES his dentists, especially Dr. Yilmaz, who is one of the most caring people you will ever meet. I am distressed that a single one star review might damage the reputation of this fine practice. It's certainly a lesson to me to be careful when judging a business by averaged ratings on websites. If you are looking for a dentist, do yourself a favor and be treated by the best.

I can't imagine rating Donaldson, Guenther and Yilmaz any less than five full stars. The entire staff here is compassionate, caring and professional. Guenther was able to significantly improve the appearance of a front tooth that embarrassed me for years (previous dentists, all good practitioners, were unable to offer a solution). I seriously teared up when I saw the beautiful results of Dr. Guenther's work. (If you ask me to smile for the camera now, I do!) Dr. Yilmaz has handled my more recent dental care and she, too, is fabulous. She is observant and proactive in making sure my teeth are in the best health. This is the best dental practice in Ann Arbor in my opinion.
