"Dr. Makowski provided laser therapy that completely took away my TMJ pain. It felt great immediately following, and was a huge difference the next day. I cannot believe the benefits of laser dentistry. It is an amazing thing not to have pain in my jaw after weeks of aches and pains. Thank you Lakeview Dentistry!" -Michael
"Dr. Makowski and the whole staff have been great! It is wonderful to be treated so well and have the opportunity to access cutting-edge technology in northern MI. With the lasers and digital x-rays, I feel amazed at the level of care I can receive in this area. The lasers alone have allowed me to have dental procedures like fillings without a single injection. This alone has been worth being a patient here. Thank you staff of Lakeview!" -Suzanne
