A Dental Practice That’s Genuinely Close to Grosse Pointe
Our office is in Eastpointe, about 8 miles north of Grosse Pointe Park. For most Grosse Pointe families, that’s roughly a 15-20 minute drive. Far enough to be a different city – close enough to be your regular dentist, not just your emergency backup.
Dr. Christopher Dyki has built this practice around one straightforward idea: you should understand what’s happening with your teeth and feel in control of your own care. We explain things in plain language, walk you through your options, and let you make the call. No pressure, no rushed appointments, no “just trust us.”
We see patients of all ages – kids, adults, and seniors – and we handle everything from a first filling to a full-mouth restoration. If you’ve been looking for a neighborhood dental practice near the Grosse Pointe area that isn’t a chain, this is it.
What You Can Take Care of Here
General Dentistry and Routine Cleanings
Checkups, professional cleanings, X-rays, and early decay detection. It’s the straightforward care that keeps bigger problems from becoming expensive ones later. We’re a full-service general dentistry practice, and this is where most patient relationships start.
Root Canals
A root canal is the procedure where we clean out an infected tooth’s inner pulp to save it from being pulled. It sounds worse than it is. Root canals are one of the most common procedures Dr. Dyki performs – and if you’ve been turned away elsewhere because of your insurance, there’s a good chance we accept it. See our root canal service page for more.
Tooth Extractions
When a tooth can’t be saved, we take it out. Dr. Dyki performs extractions routinely, including cases that other general dentists send to an oral surgeon. For most extractions, you won’t need a separate specialist appointment.
Dentures and Immediate Dentures
We fit and place both traditional dentures and immediate dentures – dentures you receive the same day teeth are extracted, so you’re never without them during the healing process. If you’re exploring tooth replacement options, we’ll walk through what each option involves without pushing you toward one or the other. Learn more about dentures and immediate dentures.
Crowns
A crown is a tooth-shaped cap placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its structure and function. We place and replace crowns in a shade matched to your surrounding teeth, so it doesn’t call attention to itself.
Cosmetic Dentistry
We offer teeth whitening, composite bonding for chips and gaps, porcelain veneers, and ClearCorrect clear aligners for straightening. If there’s something about your smile you’d like to change, we’ll talk through your options – not just the most involved one.
Nitrous Oxide
We offer nitrous oxide – sometimes called laughing gas – for patients who feel anxious about dental work. It’s safe for children and adults, it wears off quickly after your appointment, and it makes a genuine difference for people who find the dentist stressful.

Whether it’s a cleaning, a root canal, or something else – we’ll walk you through your options and answer your questions before any work begins.

We See the Whole Family, Not Just Adults
We see kids and adults in the same visit when that works for your schedule. For younger patients, we explain what’s happening before we do anything – no surprises, no rushing through it. First dental visits especially get taken at the child’s pace.
Dr. Dyki works with patients from early childhood through senior years. If your kids have struggled with dental anxiety in the past, nitrous oxide is available for children as well as adults. It changes the experience significantly for a lot of families.
We’re also upfront about what you and your family actually need. If a tooth is fine, we’ll tell you it’s fine. We won’t stack recommendations onto your treatment plan that don’t belong there.
