About Lakeshore Dental Specialists

Lakeshore Dental Specialists provides dental care on East Eight Mile Road in Eastpointe, Michigan. Implants are considered by many dentists the most durable way to replace a missing tooth, since the titanium post fuses with the jaw bone over several months and then supports a crown that functions much like a natural tooth. Enough healthy bone is the main prerequisite, and a graft can build that up first if needed.

Payment and insurance arrangements vary by practice and by treatment, so it is worth asking directly what is covered and what options exist for anything that is not, rather than assuming either way. Getting that clarified before treatment starts avoids surprises once it is underway.

Beyond any single treatment, most dental visits start with an examination — checking for decay, reviewing the gums, and looking at existing fillings or crowns — often alongside X-rays where there is a reason to look between or beneath teeth. That groundwork is what a dentist uses to explain any findings and set out next steps before you leave.

Routine attendance, roughly every six months for most people, is what actually keeps small problems small. A lot of decay and gum disease develops without any pain in its early stages, which is why regular checkups matter even when nothing seems to be wrong, rather than only booking an appointment once something hurts.

A first appointment at a new practice typically covers a full examination, a review of your dental and medical history, and a professional cleaning, with X-rays if you do not have recent ones. It is also a reasonable time to raise any longer-term concerns, cosmetic or otherwise, so they can be factored into a plan going forward.

Day-to-day oral health still comes down to the basics between visits — brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, cleaning between the teeth, and limiting how often sugary food and drink appear through the day matters more than the total amount eaten at once. Regular professional care is what catches whatever those habits do not.

Lakeshore Dental Specialists is open Tuesday through Friday. Contact the practice through this page to confirm current appointment times before travelling.
What services does Lakeshore Dental Specialists offer?
Listed services at Lakeshore Dental Specialists include Dental Implants. The full list is shown on this page.
How long does a dental implant take from start to finish?
Commonly several months, because the implant needs time to integrate with the jaw bone before the final crown is fitted. Timelines stretch if a bone graft is needed first, and some cases allow a temporary tooth in the meantime.
What is a bone graft and why might I need one?
Bone shrinks after a tooth is lost, and if there is not enough left to anchor an implant, grafting rebuilds the volume first. It is a common preliminary step when a tooth has been missing for a long time.
How can I look after my teeth between appointments?
Brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and cleaning between the teeth daily covers most of it. Limiting how often sugary food and drink appear through the day matters more than the total amount consumed.

The front desk clerks were very helpful, friendly and professional in welcoming me as a new patient. The nurse who set me up In my exam room was also thorough and thoughtful and kept me informed with any delays. The X-Ray technician was on point also. Each representative was very respectful and knowledgeable in their duties. The Doctor summed up everything very well and I’d recommend him to others.

I’m so happy with my ortho results!! I’ve always been a nervous nelly when it comes to dental work, but the team here made my orthodontic treatment such a positive experience! I initially went in for something no one noticed but my before and after pictures speak volumes! The staff is incredibly kind and reassuring every step of the way. No matter how many crazy questions I had, they were always willing to answer them thoroughly and never made me feel silly for asking. Dr. Mastracci took the time to explain everything and made sure I was comfortable during each visit. Yolanda and Juju were fun and helped me feel more at ease by joking with me and getting my mind off the visit. I couldn’t be happier with my results and would highly recommend them to anyone, especially if you’re a bit anxious like me!
