Welcome to Oxford Lakes Dental Care. We are Dr. Donna and Dr. Dan Sahutske, and since graduating Marquette University School of Dentistry in 1987, we have been offering superlative dental care long enough to know a thing or two about how to get it done right! Our mission, and the reason we show up at our office every day, is to make a positive impact on as many lives as possible. This is so important to us that we insist on daily meetings with our team apart from patient treatment time to design positive influence.
We have more continuing education experience and hospital training than is required or necessary and belong to oodles of dental societies and dental organizations which we will be happy to share with you. What really makes us tick is our desire to consistently improve the quality and happiness of our lives and those of our patients, team, family and friends. By the way, we are not the typical nerdy dentist types. We enjoy our kids, our granddaughters, our horse and our cottage on Harsens Island. We spend a good part of the summer tooling around Lake St. Clair our 1958 Chris Craft skiff. We also enjoy vacationing, skiing, duck hunting, horse showing, listening to music, hanging with friends (not necessarily in that order) and a whole bunch of other stuff. The bottom line is, if you are looking for a great dentist, give us a try. We invite you to call our office, come in and meet everybody. You wont be sorry you did.

Very disappointing experience taking my 4-year old daughter here for what was supposed to be her first dental cleaning. Oxford Lakes' website says they are "proud to offer dental services to children." Well, our visit here this week does not match that description. My daughter was very nervous for her first visit. Upon arrival, we did not receive any sort of "warming up" or acquainting of my child with the dentist office or tools. I assumed the hygienist might show her some pictures or a model mouth with teeth, show her the tools, explain the purpose of the visit and what we will do, pick out fun sunglasses (which were not offered by the way), etc. Instead, the hygienist jumped straight into the cleaning. As soon as the hygienist began lowering the seat, my daughter began to whimper and cry. The hygienist quickly stopped and said we would not continue with the cleaning, and instead call this a "happy visit" and only count her teeth. I want to clarify that the hygienist was very friendly and kind, but I have to say I was surprised by the lack of expected introductory interactions one might expect a child to receive on a first visit. Then the actual dentist was called over due to the fact my daughter has a wiggly tooth. While the hygienist was at least friendly, the dentist was not friendly nor warm or welcoming to my daughter. She seemed rushed and said they don't deal with "behavioral issues" with children, and said that my daughter would need to see a pediatric dentist with nitrous oxide instead. The referral they gave me was for an office that doesn't even accept our insurance. I completely understand that in some cases, overly nervous children may need special care with a pediatric dentist. However, it seems like Oxford Lakes did not even TRY to create a warm, welcoming environment for a child's first time visit that might have opened my daughter up to feeling more comfortable proceeding with the cleaning. Now I feel my kid is even MORE nervous for the next time we have to try a visit elsewhere. Honestly, it just seemed like they couldn't be bothered to spend a little extra time welcoming a new patient and helping her get comfortable. At the very least if we could not proceed with the cleaning, I would have hoped they could've gone over some educational material to teach about dental hygiene or again maybe look at the tools. Instead we were rushed out like a burden. All in all, the visit lasted approximately 5 minutes. Oh and we waited months for this very disappointing visit. Will never visit this practice again nor recommend it others. They have lost a potential life-long customer.

This is a really good dentistry. The staff are just so nice. Easy to talk to everyone and talk to your hygienist the whole time and it's a very enjoyable experience for something most people dread

Front desk people are very bad. Very bad Service. Once appointment gets fixed they call back and force patient to come early or late. i got very frustrated. i don't recommend any one visit this clinic. Doctors are not that bad but too much problems in front desk people. i will give 0 (zero) rating for the front desk lady behavior towards patient. my self and other experienced the same from this clinic. Please don't go here.

They work very well with me and my family. They also help me feel more relaxed because I get anxiety going to the dentist. They have gone above and beyond to help me feel more comfortable about going.

Just had my first cleaning here and it had been awhile since I have gone to a dentist for a cleaning. The staff was amazing, from the receptionist Debbie, to the X-ray tech Amanda, and to my hygienist Danielle. I was so worried they wouldn't be able to get my problem spots but they were quick and efficient and my teeth look better than ever! Also major props to the staff for helping me with my busy-body one-year old, they didn't have to help but it was so sweet to see such a kind and caring staff. I think I have found my new dentist office!

Dr Donna is the best. I was able to get a crown replaced and fillings replaced all in one day. I drive an hour and a half to get here because they're equipment is so modern. I cant find any dentist in my area that can do what they do.
