The practice's roots trace back to 1917 with the O'Brien family, and they have been operating from their current Coit Avenue location for over 70 years. This clinic represents a multi-generational legacy in dentistry, with Dr. Dan O'Brien being the fifth dentist in his family to graduate from the University of Michigan School of Dentistry. He practices alongside Dr. Matthew Ellison, who also graduated from the University of Michigan School of Dentistry in 2013; both doctors share similar conservative treatment philosophies and a strong working relationship.

Specific services highlighted include cosmetic dentistry (crowns, veneers, bonding, teeth whitening) and dental implants. They aim to provide comfortable and predictable outcomes, utilizing innovative technologies such as intra-oral cameras, digital x-rays, and CBCT for safer and faster treatment. The clinic prides itself on its genuine care and compassion for patients, fostering long-term relationships and often serving multiple generations within the same family. They are known for their welcoming environment and for making patients feel at ease, even those with dental anxiety.

We have been going here for over 10 years. Although I don't love the location, it's worth it for the amazing care we get. The whole staff is so nice, and they are not in it for the money, they only treat what is absolutely necessary. I highly recommend them!

Dr. Dan and Dr. Matt make a real dental dream team. Can’t thank them and the entire (incredibly accommodating) staff enough for getting my smile back! Top-notch care from true experts, forever thankful.

The staff is great! The dentists are great! I haven't had dental care in many years and specifically searched out a dental office that would be non judgemental and caring. This one was recommended to me and it exceeded expectations. As someone with some "dental anxiety ", I was very nervous for my 1st appointment but was put at ease immediately.

I'm now looking forward to my next cleaning and eager to urge my friends and family to check out this office if they're looking for a new dentist.

I’ve been going here since I was a kid, and despite the office being quite a ways from where I live now, I still make the trek to get there. The staff is always friendly, and Dr. Dan is clearly invested in helping his patients. I lost the dental genetics lottery, and after one particularly unlucky string of issues, I joked that I was at the office so much that I should offer to pay rent.

However, no matter how many appointments I schedule, I’m not treated like an inconvenience and my needs are always taken seriously. The prices are on-par, or even cheaper, than what I’ve been quoted at different offices. They’ve also been highly respectful of my budget, especially when I was a young adult with terrible insurance. Dr.

Dan went above and beyond to ensure he worked within my outlined budget, and even some of the “temporary” fixes have lasted years and years. Between having been in the Army and lived in multiple different states, I’ve been exposed to my fair share of dentists, and none of them have held a candle to the quality care I receive at this dentist office. Though I take pride in practicing excellent dental hygiene, there’s only so much you can do to fight nature; I'm just glad to have this dental practice in my life.
