Safe, Secure and Backed-up
In the age of electronic records and digital x-rays, have you ever wondered what would happen to your dental records if our building in Sterling Heights burned down or our computers crashed? Well you can put your mind at ease. Our entire network is continuously backed-up throughout the day by an external hard drive connected to our server. Additionally, each evening another separate encrypted back-up is run and stored securely off site. Dr. Artemenko also has a “if everything else fails” back-up that is run manually on a workstation. All back-up logs are checked daily for errors or problems and each quarter our fabulous technology specialists (Phillips Consulting) come on-site to verify all systems are working and properly maintained. Technical Support is available to us 24/7 in case of emergency or disaster.

Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry has been increasing in the past decade. Patients are realizing that having a beautiful, healthy smile will enhance the appearance and confidence levels of our smile. Modern cosmetic dentistry has seen many advancements that help to improve the teeth and the smile with affordable treatments that are also painless and quick.
Here are a few reasons patients choose cosmetic dental treatments:
Change the size, shape, and alignment of teeth
Fill in unattractive spaces between teeth
Improve or correct bites
Lighten or brighten the color of teeth
Repair decayed, broken, cracked, or chipped teeth

Replace old, unattractive dental treatments
Your smile shares yourself with others, before you’ve even said a word.

WANTED: New Patients!
Are you tired of being talked at? Do you feel like you have no voice or say in your dental care? Or like you are a part on an assembly line, not a name or face, just a number? Do you work or live close to the Sterling Heights area? If so, we want the opportunity to meet and get to know you.
We are interested in you and what brings you to our dental office. So, your initial appointment may be a bit different from what you have experienced in the past. We will review in depth your medical and dental history, previous dental experiences, lifestyle and your expectations for your oral health. Additionally we will perform the following diagnostics:
A thorough gum screening and evaluation of periodontal conditions
- Complete set of x-rays
- Oral cancer screening
- Jaw joint and bite evaluation
- Assessment of any existing dental restorations for wear or breakdown
- Examination for any current decay
This will help us determine your present level of health as well as any immediate problems. If necessary, we can then create a comprehensive restorative blueprint.
We want you to know, in our opinion; you should expect and receive the best treatment and advice that contemporary dentistry has at its disposal. An open mind and continuous exchange of information about your dental circumstances are key components. You are entitled to an explanation of the availability and intricacies of advanced dental treatment and discussion of the investment of time and money of such treatment.
Please feel free, at any time, to ask questions about our recommendations or to make any suggestions. We believe an informed patient is highly motivated, which results in optimum care.
If you have financial help in the form of dental insurance, we are happy to assist you to receive the maximum benefits available. We also offer outside financing with interest free periods and extended fixed payment plans, please see our financing page. If you have dental insurance we ask that you come ready to handle any co-pays and/or deductibles that may apply to your visit. If you do not have any dental coverage we ask that you are prepared to pay for the services we provide at your visit.
Some people are fortunate to be in the group of people that only need regular preventative (cleaning) appointments and an occasional simple restoration. Some people are in need of more comprehensive dental work. In either case, we would love for you to come and visit us!
If you are coming to us for the first time with a dental emergency, you are welcome too! We will help you with your immediate concern and then schedule you another time to come back for the red carpet treatment.
