About Detroit Dental Specialists
Same-day fillings and thirty-minute extractions are common, but a few braces patients report months of payments before any brackets were placed.
Detroit Dental Specialists is a general dental practice that also offers orthodontic treatments including Invisalign, traditional braces, clear aligners, and retainers. Reviews often highlight quick turnaround on routine work, with same-day fillings, thirty-minute extractions, and emergency slots offered on short notice. The practice sees a good number of young children and families with several kids in treatment, and many reviewers mention feeling at ease during procedures like extractions and root canals.

Came in to get my daughter teeth done. They ended up referring me to a pediatric dentistry. Dr. K was nice and helpful with explaining why they couldn’t work on my 2 yr old. They did clean her teeth tho. So that’s good I guess. Thank u
