My new dentist is awesome! I went to have my teeth cleaned, and got "the works" because they are…read morevery thorough. First I had x-rays, which I didn't mind because they have an electronic x-ray machine that stitches together a panoramic view of the mouth. No more cardboard bite wings poking me in my cheeks and throat (I have a very small jaw.) Then they probed my gingival pockets. I got a gold star on my report card for having healthy gums. All that flossing pays off, people! My last dentist never did that gum check for some reason. It was explained to me that they do it every other year to track periodontal health. Then the cleaning. We started with the polishing, which is the opposite of how it had been done to me for many years. I have to say, it worked better to have the crunchy stuff first, then the rest of the cleaning rinsed my mouth clean, so I didn't leave the office still crunching on pumice. This office has an ultrasonic scaler, which is the professional version of the ultrasonic toothbrush that I have at home. It took me quite a while to get used to my toothbrush. It tickled like crazy. So I can imagine that if you're not accustomed to the tickling, the scaler at the dental office might be a bit uncomfortable, but definitely let them do it this way. The scaler uses water to cool the cleaning head so that your delicate tissues don't overheat from the vibrations. So you get a steady trickle of water that eventually washes all the pumice away. The reason the ultrasonic scaler is way better: less time using that metal probe to flick off the crusty gunk. I hate it when the wire gets caught in between two teeth, prying them apart and making me fear that something bad might happen when the hygenist rips that puppy out from between my swaying bicuspids. So I am definitely a fan of the ultrasonic scaler! I came home and as a joke, I said to my husband, "So, do you notice anything different?" as I showed him my teeth. He said, "Yes, they're whiter!" I am totally happy with this new dentist, her hygenist and the office staff. I am so glad I finally made the switch. Open 8am~5pm Mon~Thu (Closed Fri, Sat & Sun, though you can call if you have a dental emergency.)

I was imagining that all the money I paid to Ann Arbor's Dentist would include a friendly consultation with a Dentist that would explain all the printed information so I wouldn't need to take more time away from my child trying to interpret the Treatment plan. Feelings of being totally disregarded. Feeling like the person I was speaking with had an agenda that I did not understand. Feeling like I was being bulldozed. After asking to slow down so I could grasp the information, I felt dismissed and disregarded. There's a difference between spewing facts at someone and sharing information with someone in a way that takes the listener's needs into account.

They were covered in-network by my insurance (MetLife), and they were able to fit me in for an emergency appointment right away. I was also able to make an appointment for a cleaning the same week, since I needed one anyways. Every person I came in contact with from the receptionist to the assistants and dental hygienists were super friendly, gentle and helpful. Despite my rocky dental history (my childhood dentist wasn't great - so I have a mouth full of fillings and a couple of crowns), they were patient and made me feel comfortable and supported. I also really like the interior of the office. I think most dentist's offices are dreary and bland places filled with white, grey and tan walls and furniture, and random/outdated decorations. Not here - this place has a really charming bare wood interior with sparse but well-placed colorful pieces of art and big windows that let in the sunshine. Great experience overall - my only missing star is due to the cost. From what I can tell, they charge more than some other dentists (and I could always save more money)... but it might be worth it for the refreshing change of pace.

I have referred patients over the years and everyone sticks with her. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Trullard, which says alot for this person that HATES to go to the dentist.

I have a very high pain threshold and I almost passed out (but that might've been from the scariness of the drill-like sound). Very traumatic. They also said I had several cavities and scheduled a filling for the next month. I ended up waiting and going to my childhood dentist who has always been amazing and he said I didn't have any cavities, so I'm not sure what happened with this place. The reason for two stars instead of just one is because they were very helpful in getting the exact amount my fillings would cost from my insurance company. As someone who has tried to do that before it has rarely worked out well. I will definitely not be going back.

It's a two-person operation with Dr. Gurkin and his assistant who also doubles as the secretary. This means that they actually remember your name. They also details about your personal life that you yourself forgot you disclosed. Impressive. Dr. Gurkin has never given me the dentist guilt trip when I answer honestly that no, I have not been flossing more than once a month. He also is very clear about what I might have to do in the future vs. if anything is needed now. He never pushes for any procedures and in fact tends to be discouraging about anything unnecessary. During cleaning there is a healthy amount of banter as he genuinely seems to enjoy his job and the people he serves. Appointments are prompt and breezy. I like all the plants in the entrance and waiting room. And on the way out you always get a complimentary oral-B toothbrush, floss, and a variety of travel-size toothpaste tubes (excellent for the nomad that I am). This office accepts BCN gradcare insurance and Dr. Gurkin is sensitive about students' finances. I appreciate this muchly. I've been going here for over two years with not a single complaint. I love small offices run with competence and kindness. Plus the man is a neuroscientist. Very cool.

I thought this was surprising since I hadn't gotten a cavity before, but went ahead and got the filling. A month later they said that my girlfriend also had a cavity that needed filling. Given that neither of us had ever had a cavity prior to this dentist, she thought that was fishy and went to get a second opinion, and lo and behold, she didn't have anything resembling a cavity. I don't have proof for me personally, but I suspect they did an unnecessary filling for me and definitely were about to do the same for her. Apparently this sort of unnecessary work recommended by dishonest dentists does happen. Avoid this dentist if at all possible, but if you do choose to go here and get a recommendation for a filling or more invasive procedure, get a second opinion before proceeding.
