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. read more

I can't wait to see Dr. Yilmaz later in September. She's great and very pretty too; easy on the eyes!!

We recently moved to Chelsea & I've been going to DGY for a couple of months. I absolutely love Dr. Yilmaz & her whole staff! During my appointments she takes the time to explain every step of the process. She is incredibly knowledgeable, thorough and immediately put my nerves at ease with her calm demeanor. I appreciated how she answered all my questions in detail, ensuring I understood my treatment options. I can confidently say Dr. Yilmaz is a perfectionist & I so appreciate how meticulous she is. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The office is immaculate, beautifully maintained & decorated and the staff greeted me with friendly smiles, making me feel at ease right away. My husband had his first visit a couple of weeks ago & he was extremely happy with his experience as well. I have recommended DGY to my friends & family members as well. I left the office feeling confident about my dental health and with a bright smile! I highly recommend Dr.Yilmaz to anyone looking for a caring and professional dentist. Thank you for another wonderful visit. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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). read more

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. read more

LOVE The staff at DFA. They're all courteous, fun and willing to do whatever it takes to make your time there as enjoyable as possible

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. read more

Let me say this very clearly: the dentists at this practice are unethical, bordering on extortionate. Unless you have a few extra tens of thousands of dollars to spend on those Hollywood-looking horse teeth that are so popular in Ann Arbor, you should run as fast as you can. I'm dead serious. If you're sitting in the waiting room, get up and leave. So with that warning out of the way, here's the long version of my story. I visited D,G&Y on the recommendation of my parents, who had had extensive, very expensive restorative work done there. After some x-rays, the hygienist (who was quite pleasant and professional) informed me that I had some spots and that Dr. Yilmaz would be in as soon as she had reviewed my chart. I waited patiently for what seemed like an unusually long time--even to the hygienist, who went so far as to apologize for the delay. I don't mind waiting, of course, but now I understand the reason: because Yilmaz was combing over my x-rays for every minute spot in my enamel and crafting the most expensive treatment plan she could conceivably justify. When she finally arrived, she was wearing an expression that could only be described as "hungry." The first words out of her mouth, awkwardly enough, were "I know your paaaaaarents," which even in the moment I interpreted as, "welcome to my lair, Piggy Bank, Jr.!" Now, at this point, it's worth noting that my father is a physician and senior medical school administrator. He makes quite a lot of money. I, however, am a graduate student in the humanities. I make, um, somewhat less money. Anyway, Yilmaz sat me down for a thorough explanation of my evidently terrible oral health, which included a somehow-both-incoherent-and-extraordinarily-patronizing lecture on enamel and Scandinavian orphans (?!) to ram home the importance of not snacking between meals and "take the guilt out of" my devastating diagnosis. I think? Anyway, the upshot was that she wanted to grind off nearly every molar in my head and replace them with crowns, presumably of the same glowing-white, horse-teeth variety that she herself sported in that evil grin of hers. The treatment plan she gave me included an astonishing fifteen procedures divided into two four-to-six-hour sessions under sedation. She then escorted me to the front office for billing, where I was given a nausea-and-panic-inducing estimate of just under $13,000, of which my insurance would pay just over a thousand. Now, my teeth sure as hell aren't perfect, but I'm 29 years old, and I was not in the slightest amount of oral pain. If I were to pay $12,000 out of pocket for dental care--which, for some perspective, is roughly half my annual income--I would expect my teeth to look and feel like, well... my fifty-five-year-old parents', who grew up thinking Coca-Cola was a vitamin and who'd probably replace their tap water with Gatorade if given the opportunity. Needless to say, I stormed out of the office and immediately scheduled an appointment for a second opinion with another well-respected, well-reviewed dentist in Ann Arbor. Her office sent for my x-rays and asked me to bring along my treatment plan from Donaldson, Guenther & Yilmaz. After reviewing the self-same x-rays that Yilmaz had seen, she recommended... a single filling and some over-the-counter fluoride mouthwash. As it turns out, the instances of "decay" that Yilmaz had characterized as urgent-bordering-on-life-threatening were just minor spots in my enamel that could remineralize. My new dentist then asked if she could see Yilmaz's treatment plan. After I sheepishly handed her the document, she took a single glance at it and--this is important--laughed out loud. Like, literally could not stifle her giggles, despite her best efforts to remain professional. So that's how *honest* dentists--that is, those who make decisions based on their patients' teeth instead of their pocketbooks--view Donaldson, Guenther & Yilmaz: as a laughingstock. read more
