I am glad you found our blog! I’m Dr. Gary Sasaki, DDS, MS, of Gary Sasaki DDS, MS, a full-service dental practice in Ann Arbor. I am a proud member of the Michigan Dental Association. My profession is dentistry, but my passion is providing superior and affordable Ann Arbor dental care for my patients. I began serving Michigan cosmetic dentistry patients in the Ann Arbor area back in 1971. Since that time, my profession has undergone dramatic changes which have benefited my teeth whitening and tooth restoration clients in Belleville and Saline.
My specialty in Ann Arbor is cosmetic and general dentistry, but I also perform many porcelain veneers, dental crowns and bridges and full mouth reconstructions in Belleville and Saline.
I know my Ann Arbor dentistry clients have many choices for their dental care, and work hard every day to surpass expectations.
I build long-term relationships with my Plymouth and Saline cosmetic dentistry patients. I constantly educate myself on the latest procedures to determine what is truly innovative and what is merely a gimmick. My cosmetic dentistry patients appreciate the time I take to thoroughly analyze their total oral health. My friendly and professional staff enjoys keeping my Ann Arbor family dentistry practice running smoothly so I can concentrate on what I do best—serving my patients!

Dentists in Ann Arbor are concerned with your oral health and thus care about the condition of your mouth and all of your many teeth. At Gary Sasaki DDS, MS we recognize that your teeth help you both eat and speak. You use your teeth to tear, scrape, and chew food, as well as to form words with your tongue. Teeth are an important part of your oral health and Gary Sasaki DDS, MS located in Ann Arbor, Michigan wants to help keep your mouth and teeth healthy.
We humans have two sets of teeth in our lifetime. The first set are your ‘primary teeth’, which many folks around Ann Arbor often call ‘baby teeth’. Baby teeth typically start to come in at about 6 months old. An average healthy mouth for a Ann Arbor resident has a total of 20 primary teeth by about age 5.
Your primary teeth will eventually fall out and new teeth known as ‘permanent teeth’ will grow in. Permanent teeth typically begin to come in around age 6 for most Ann Arbor residents, but every person is unique and it could be a little earlier or later. By about age 13 an average healthy mouth should have 28 of the total 32 permanent teeth. The last four permanent teeth may or may not come, but typically come in between the ages of 17 and 21 if they do. Because of the late age that these last teeth come in they are commonly called ‘wisdom teeth’.
Many adults in the city of Ann Arbor have their wisdom teeth pulled out because these teeth can be problematic to your oral health, such as crowding a mouth. Other adults in the Ann Arbor area may not have these teeth pulled out because they are not causing problems. If you are concerned about the state of your wisdom teeth you can visit our local Ann Arbor dental office and we can help you make a decision.
Caring for all of your teeth whether you are young and have 20 primary teeth or are an adult and have 28 to 32 permanent teeth is important for your overall health. Visiting your Ann Arbor dentist regularly, and brushing and flossing daily are great ways to care for your many teeth. Gary Sasaki DDS, MS located in Ann Arbor, cares about your oral health and teeth and can be reached by phone at, 734-482-7466.
