Our main goal is to provide you with the dentistry that you want. To do this, we take the time to listen to your concerns, do a thorough examination, explain our findings with you, and find out how you would like to proceed with treatment. Basically, we provide you with information about your mouth and suggestions for treatment, but you ultimately decide what you would like to have done. We then help you with the fees for the treatment by offering various payment options before any treatment is scheduled. In this way, there are no surprises after treatment is rendered. We want you to be satisfied with treatment, and therefore will attempt to contact you to make sure everything is alright.
Dr. Hosner executes all of his dental care while using magnification. At magnification of up to 5.5 times normal, he is able to see extremely well. He also wears a headlamp for more light. This exceptional visibility helps him to provide the very best care possible that is both conservative in nature and efficient. Dr. Hosner also routinely uses a special decay-detecting dye. This dye stains the remaining decay so that the Doctor can be sure to remove absolutely all of the decay from your tooth; no guesswork.
A November, 2000 article in the Journal of the American Dental Association stated that Inadequacy of impressions was the most common problem reported by the (laboratory) technicians, and 90 percent of impressions coming into North American laboratories do not have all of the gingival margins represented on them. (The margin is the very edge of the tooth to which a restoration is made to fit). This means that the lab making your restoration (eg. Crown, veneer, onlay, bridge, etc.) in 90% of the cases, does not have an accurate model of your tooth preparation on which to make your restoration. This leads to a less than ideal fit of the restoration to your tooth even if the lab does its job and fits the restoration perfectly to your imperfect model. An improperly fitting restoration is more likely to lead to recurrent decay, sensitivity, and the need for root canal therapy or eventual extraction. It means that you may need to replace that restoration a lot sooner. This means more destruction to your tooth, not to mention more time and money. And this, from 90% of the cases in America! This same article went on to say that The second most commonly reported laboratory problem in fixed prosthodontics was poor tooth preparations. Poor preparations can also lead to restoration failure for various reasons.
In contrast to this, Dr. Hosners philosophy with all of his dentistry is to accomplish each step correctly first before proceeding to the next. He ALWAYS sends to the lab an accurate impression of your tooth that has all of the gingival margins represented on it. On the rare occasions that an impression is not adequate, he takes the time to remake it until it is perfect, even if it means multiple impressions being made. Remember the old saying, A stitch in time saves nine. Dr. Hosner also creates very well-defined and smooth tooth preparations with well defined margins so as to make it easy for the lab to fabricate a well fitting restoration. In addition to this, Dr. Hosner uses dental labs that consistently provide accurate and esthetic restorations. With tooth colored restorations, if you dont like it, he will have it remade. With any restoration, if it isnt fitting correctly, he will have it remade,all before it is cemented onto your tooth. It is better to take the time and have it as good as you can right from the start, than to forge ahead with mediocrity and have problems later.
Dr. Hosner has taken many hours of continuing education courses in an array of different topics so as to conveniently provide a variety of services in a successful way. He often uses digital photography to provide illustrations for patients to better understand treatment potentials as well as to communicate color and texture of teeth to the laboratory technician in order to achieve optimal esthetics in cosmetic cases. The materials and techniques he uses to whiten teeth provide for the quickest and most comfortable whitening results.
At Jack M. Hosner, D.D.S., we provide excellent and quality comprehensive service in a clean, comfortable, and caring atmosphere. He and his knowledgeable, experienced staff work hard to make your experience as successful as possible. We welcome you to visit our office and see for yourself.

Since childhood, visiting the dentist has always caused me great anxiety. Dr. Hosner and his entire staff are incredibly kind and compassionate and have reduced my anxiety with dental care. He explains everything he is going to do and is very quick and meticulous with his work. You can tell he really cares for his patient's comfort & overall dental health. His current hygienist is incredibly gentle & careful during routine cleanings, his assistant was amazing with her care & follow-up calls and Laura is always happy and helpful with scheduling & insurance/billing concerns. I highly recommend Dr. Hosner and his team to everyone, young & old!

Dr. Hosner took great care in pulling out my broken tooth. He was detailed and compassionate in a complex situation when many things could have gone wrong. He also kept me updated as he went along and gave me excellent exit instructions. I cannot recommend him and his friendly staff highly enough.

I was just here getting his address so I could send a Christmas card and saw a strange review that said, "Don't go there, he's just trying to make money off you." Haha.. I don't know what that's all about, but it prompted me to stop and write a review from my own experience. I'm 63 years old, and have had several dentists over my lifetime. Dr. Hosner is the best dentist of them all, by far. If I could give him, and his staff, ten stars, I would. Many years ago, he fixed issues I'd had since childhood, that no other dentist had. Now, I just go in for cleanings and check-ups twice a year. He is very good at what he does.

I was very unsatisfied with Dr. Hosner. I was referred to him by someone I knew because my dentist is on the east side but I will never go back. I was told I had gum disease and I need a special teeth cleaning every 4 months - one that my insurance does not cover and too frequent for my insurance to cover as well. I got a second opinion from the dentist I'd been going to my whole life and I do not in fact have gum disease and the 'special cleaning' was a new type of cleaning that is done and covered by insurance. I don't appreciate being lied to or taken advantage of. Be careful!

Dr. Hosner is meticulous in his Work. He has a true, genuine passion for perfection in his line of work and has had that reputation in this community for many years. He stayed atleast 2 hours past their normal closing time, to ensure a job well done. I am not completely finished with my procedure but I rest assured knowing he is the right fit for the Job. I HIGHLY recommend him for your dentist needs!

I have been going to Jack Hosner's office for 20 years and I must honestly say it is always a pleasurable experience. I have experienced teeth pulling, fillings, cleanings, and Ex-rays. Never once have I been uncomfortable or felt and bit of pain during any of the procedures. His bed side manner is over the top. His swift manipulation of his hands and tools is miraculous. As a child I was terrified of the dentist and for twenty years I have not felt that feeling. I moved to Alaska, and would fly back to Michigan solely to receive his services, for even simple procedures such as teeth cleanings. His staff is very friendly and accommodating. Best hygienist I ever have seen as well, she takes the time to get those extras that other hygenists neglect. Jack and his staff care about your teeth and gums and over well oral health. My kids as well have received his services for over twenty years and they have never been afraid or in pain in his office. He comes highly recommended.
