Details: A fund raiser for those people who need dental services and who desire to help the earthquake victims in Haiti.

Dr. Antolak was planning to leave for Haiti on January 21, along with 23 members of Faith Lutheran Church in Troy and members of other area churches, to share the love of Jesus Christ through a soccer clinic, working with an orphanage, and performing dentistry to over 250 people who don’t have access to dental care.

Unfortunately, the trip had to be cancelled because of the Haiti earthquake. This would have been Dr. Antolak’s ninth visit to Les Cayes, Haiti on the southwest coast of the country. Fortunately the dental clinic and church, where he has served for 8 years, sustained only minor damage. However, Faith Lutheran Church has been working alongside the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Haiti (ELCH) for the last nine years and the ELCH church was completely destroyed in the quake. The ELCH church will not receive any aide from outside public sources to rebuild except through direct private fundraising donations.

In response to the Haiti disaster, Dr. Antolak and his long time friend, Dr. Apsey of Warren, along with several other volunteer assistants, will be offering dental services to local residents who need dental care and at the same time, would like to help the earthquake victims. Services offered will be: Cleanings, x-rays, fillings, extractions, root canals, crowns and bridges and other general dental services.

Donation checks will be made to Faith Lutheran Church and are considered tax deductible. Those contributing will receive receipts from the church. The suggested donation for services will be based on Dr. Antolak’s normal fee schedule. “I can personally guarantee that 100% of the funds raised will go to where they are supposed to go. I have been serving in Haiti for nine years and know the pastors there personally and communicate with them on a regular basis.” Antolak said.

Take it from a recent Ford Motor Company retiree who came in to our office only months  AFTER his insurance terminated.  He was stuck paying the entire bill since he had no insurance compensation.  He was totally discusted with himself that he put it off and lost $1,200 of dental benefits.

This is an interview with a patient of Dr. Robert Antolak The Gentle Dentist about her ease of eating and confidence with her overdentue.

Overdentures are for those patients who have either lost their teeth and desire to have a complete denture (false teeth or plate) to act naturally like their own teeth. These dentures fit with a snap fit over special clips that keep them in place until the patient desires to remove them. Either natural tooth roots that have been specially prepaired or dental implants allow the teeth to be secured. When the base of a denture does not move our patient can eat anything she desires. Denture wearers typically can eat with only 15-20% of the force as those who have natural teeth. When dental implants or natural teeth are used to support the denture eating forces can be boosted to about 60% of the force of natural teeth. This allows you to eat most all foods and it also improves self esteem and confidence that the denture will stay in place no matter what happens.

Dr. Antolak treats his dental patients in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere where you are treated like a guest in the home. His motto is to “relax while we take care of your smile”. He specializes in cosmetic dentistry, implant dentistry and general dentistry using sedation dentistry if necessary for his high fear patients. He has been treating patients for the past 21 years and is located in Shelby Township, Macomb County Michigan. For more information visit our website at www.thegentledentist.com.
