I’ve just loved it. I like the way I’ve been treated and the work has been good. He doesn’t hurt me. When I first started here I was scared to death. I would really be nervous, and it was really strange. I told more people I’d be nervous until I got in the chair, and then for some reason I was relaxed, so figure that one out. I’ve had a few crowns, and I went through all the procedures. The mold they have to take, and the temporary, and all that. The last crown I had done, I came and I walked out in two hours with a new crown. Which I was very happy with, because I didn’t have to go through all that other procedure. I just take confidence in him. He never hurt me before, and I didn’t think he would hurt me again.

They have always been more than attentive to my needs with the normal dental work, along with bringing in the appliances or retainers and cleaning them for me. He has fixed a few old fillings, broken fillings. We’ve also replaced a few silver fillings to the white to match the tooth, before another cavity would start that we replace the filling, and with that replacement to use the new white bonding. I think he is wonderful with his personality at alleviating any fears or anything like that. I also bring my two children in with me. They love coming here. There is no questions asked about when the dentist appointment comes up. They can’t wait to get here. The staff is amazing with the kids as well.

You get to know the nurses, the hygienists and what not. It’s just a fun time. You feel like part of the family. I had a slight little overbite in back. I was grinding my teeth. We set me up with a little retainer and everything, sleep in, help with that so I don’t keep grinding the teeth. I didn’t really know I was doing it until he showed me the pictures. You do find yourself sleeping better. He does his checkups and he finds little things to improve the smile. You can come in here and get the whitening done. You go out and people are just amazed. It’s like, “Wow, your teeth are so bright. Where do you go?” Been going there for so long it’s just second nature. I don’t plan on going anywhere else.

I started seeing Dr. Newingham, I had an emergency need and he was actually at a different practice near my house. He did such a wonderful job. I was so happy with him. I had a semi-partial and the front teeth started to come loose. I needed to get in immediately and he just took me right away and took his time and just did everything good to save the other teeth and make sure that I could still have everything. It worked out wonderful. It was his preciseness that just amazes me. He wants to make it look natural so that no one knows that you have anything except your natural teeth. He cares about his patients. The whole staff is the same way—it’s like a big family and I really love that feeling.

I’ve really known all the team here since I was little, like born. I’m really comfortable with everyone, and I just told my mom, “Can you just drop me off here, so I can hang out all day?” That’s what makes it more comfortable with me, and that’s why I like it. I did have issues with my teeth. I had pits in them, so I had to get them filled. I cracked one, I had to get minor surgery on that, but it was all very nice. We were laughing and it didn’t hurt that much. Carrie, or one of the people that’s working on me, will turn on the Tigers or the Red Wings. It just makes me feel like I’m laying on the couch at home.

It’s everything from fast, friendly service to impeccable dental work. My very own sister is a dentist, so Dr. Newingham is the only other person that I trust to work on my teeth. My daughter’s really shy when it comes to going to the dentist or any doctor. He has a way with her and he makes her feel really comfortable. She actually talks to him and laughs so she’s not afraid to come here at all. When you walk into his office you feel like you’re going into an old friend’s house. They just make you feel really at home. He explains everything that he’s about to do, so before he starts working on you, you actually know what’s going to happen. That probably eases a lot of fears that someone might have.

I am very much impressed with Dr. Newingham. The staff is very professional, extremely courteous. I didn’t want to smile because with the previous dental work, the gums had receded because they were metal core crowns. The tops of my teeth were very dark-looking. I very much held back on big smiles and a lot of laughter. I had my upper front, I had six crowns replaced. I also had a bridge made for the lower part of my mouth. Because of the nature of this work, I wasn’t certain how this was all going to go down but it was pretty straightforward. I really didn’t have a whole lot of anxiety about it. If you know me, I am full of laughter all the time. I’m very happy to have this work done.

The first time I came here, it was just such a great experience. Everybody treats you so well as soon as you walk in the door. They offer you water, coffee, whatever you need. I always leave here having a good time. The first time I came here I laughed. I called my husband and I said, “How do you have a good time at the dentist?” I just really enjoy the experience. I had a filling that came out and I do have a fear of pain. I could not believe that the method he used to distract me for the moment that he gave me the shot—it didn’t even hurt at all. I always leave in a good mood because they make me laugh and they make me feel so special. I just love it here.

It’s Dr. Newingham and his staff. I’m always comfortable when I come. They always take real good care of me. It’s usually painless. He’s truly a nice person so you feel comfortable the second you walk in the door. My experience has always been good just because they’ve treated me nicely. I’m not one of those people who’s normally afraid of the dentist. Actually, I enjoy coming here, but they put you at ease once you walk in the front door. Again, I love the staff here. They’ve always been nothing but nice and positive. The environment is comfortable. You have a show to watch while they take care of you. It’s really easy in, easy out.

The number one thing for me is the quality of the service. I’ve had several different dentists in my 60 years and Dr. Newingham is just the best. He wants things to be right. Since I’m somewhat of a perfectionist myself, that’s important to me. I needed three front crowns due to accidents that I had as a teenager. I had had crowns but it was time for a change. With the new whitening, I decided to do that and then I needed new crowns anyway, so he did that, the Zoom. The whitening procedure really dramatically made a difference. That was a dramatic improvement. I love looking in the mirror now. That’s what I like. I like seeing a brighter smile.
