Our Motto"EVERY JOB YOU DO IS A SELF PORTRAIT, AUTOGRAPH YOUR WORK WITH EXCELLENCE !" |
Our FacilityWe are proud of our facility and what it means to the community. Our office was originally built in 1882 in Downtown Flushing. Dr. Mark purchased the building in 1992 with the goal of restoring the building to its previous grandeur. Dr. Mark worked with the historical society at both the state and federal levels to insure an accurate restoration. As you enter the front door, you may feel as if your walking into the finest of Victorian Hotels. The exceptional care you will receive is an extension of that feeling. |
Appointment SchedulingIf you are interested in making an appointment, please contact our office either by telephone at 810-659-4561 or by e-mail through our convenient Contact Page. Our scheduling coordinator, Amy, would be happy to assist you. If this is your initial visit, please download our new patient forms , fill them out and bring them with you on the day of your appointment. |
First Appointment ProtocolChildren and young adults under 25 years of age: We understand our patient's time is very important to them. In this age group, we find that the patient's treatment needs are more predictable. This group of patients will be scheduled with our hygiene department for a thorough prophylaxis (cleaning), any necessary x-rays and an examination by Dr. Mark. Typically this is all that is required in an initial visit. On a rare occasion, a second appointment may be needed to complete this phase of treatment. Children are typically seen for their first visit at the age of three. Adults 25 years old or older: With this group of patients, we feel it is advantageous to have your initial examination with Dr. Mark prior to scheduling your cleaning appointment. If available, we will gather any pertinent x-rays from your previous dentist prior to this appointment. Should we find that more recent x-rays are needed, they will be taken at this time. Following a complete and thorough examination including a cancer screening, Dr. Mark will answer your questions and address your chief complaints. He will also establish how much time will be required to complete your prophylaxis (cleaning). Our goal is to have your first experience be positive and educational. Keep in mind that there are always multiple treatment options and Dr. Mark will explain the advantages and disadvantages of each. He feels that patient education is the most important tool in any patient's decision making process. |

Cancellation PolicyYour appointment time is reserved just for you. If you are unable to keep an appointment, we kindly ask that you provide us with at least a 24 hour notice. This gives our office the opportunity to offer this time to another patient. A fee may be charged if a patient does not provide adequate notice. |
