David P Bryk, DDS

Dr Bryk was fabulous! I’m a skeptic about dentists. They seem to be money grubbing egotists from my experience. I went in to see Dr. Bryk because I was convinced I needed a bite guard to stop my nighttime clenching. He actually refused to give me one. He could have seen me and thought CHA-​CHING and given me one anyway. Instead he was explained why I was wrong and said no. He referred me to the right type of specialist I’ve been looking for for a long time.
Mostly I want to rave about Melissa, my hygienist. She was militant about getting every bit of plaque off my teeth. She did not do a fluff and buff and smile-​for-​the-​mirror trick. I’ve had that and wondered why my appointment was so fast. Unfortunately for Melissa, I had bad plaque from a year and a half of my jaw being locked shut and my fear of humiliating hygienists. I told her up front to please not educate me, a middle aged woman, about the values of flossing. Flossing gives me headaches and I’m a chronic migraine sufferer. I can’t say I’m the best flosser!
She was completely respectful. She quickly learned I still have a sense of humor about it all and we had a couple good laughs. She seemed to ENJOY getting every last bit. The most important thing is she never once humiliated me. My teeth haven’t been this clean in years. I’m loving to smile in the mirror now. I can’t quit rubbing my tongue on the slinky insides of my teeth. I feel so clean!!! i’ve been longing for years to find a good hygienist attached to a good dentist who won’t gouge me.
I drove from Royal Oak to this place to have this good experience. I thank Kenika who works there for referring me. She knew I’m easily offended and would be nervous so she offered me the laughing gas stuff. Turns out there’s no extra charge for it. I passed. Melissa was funny enough! So am I! If such an embarrassing and humiliating thing as getting plaque off could be fun too… who knew!
I’m just grateful. It’s been so long since I’ve felt as though I was respected as a client. My gratitude is deep!!! And my teeth are clean. Oh my gosh, SO CLEAN!
