Nick Greashaber, DDS

I cannot say enough positive things about the experience I had with Dr. Greashaber and his staff this afternoon.
I am an out-​of-​state grad student, and Dr. Greashaber was recommended to me be a fellow student whose family lives in the area. I was having a slight emergency, but was very anxious about how long it had been since I had seen a dentist and about not having dental insurance. Dr. Greashaber got me in the very next day (even though I called close to closing time).
Dr. Greashaber was very cognizant of my dental anxiety and of my financial constraints. He took only the necessary x-​rays, was exceedingly patient and understanding, and proceeded to fix the problem with an absolutely minimal amount of pain.
As he was working on my problematic tooth, he noticed that the tooth next to it had some cement left from my braces days which had become slightly discolored. He asked if I minded if he quickly addressed that for me. Little did he know that that small issue made me very self conscious. I couldn’t believe he was thoughtful enough to address it. I graduate from grad school next week, and I can honestly say that I will be smiling a lot wider thanks to Dr. Greashaber.
I would recommend him to anyone.

This guy is good. He drilled and filled two large cavities in under two hours, but more importantly, he did it completely pain free.
The office staff are also pleasant, and they were very up-​front about the cost. Highly recommended, and the best dentist I’ve used.

I will give the dentist and his dental assistants a 5, but for the office assistants they deserve a 2. I was an out of state student who went in for pain. The dentist did what he could to help and the pain was alleviated. As for the billing side of the visit it was a nightmare. They had my insurance information from both parents and I thought everything was done and didn’t think anything of the visit since I had given them my info multiple times. I wasn’t told for a very long time that they didn’t have the correct insurance information. I had moved to California already. They said that they tried to bill both insurance (dual insurance) but nothing. I had them rebill the insurances and only one was accepted. The insurance that was not was from the parent who had recently switched jobs and no longer had that insurance. It ended up being pretty cheap for the visit, but the hassle of figuring this out is why I am giving 3 stars. For out of state students, I’d say go elsewhere.

I was a patient here in 2010 after several recommendations from coworkers. I went in with anxiety and expressed that I wanted Dr. Greashaber to explain talk to me throughout the exam and tell me what he was doing — he really didn’t do that until one appointment where he had someone shadowing him then he told that person what he was doing.
He found five cavities, which surprised me but I figured I hadn’t been to a dentist while in undergrad (no insurance then) so it was possible. He filled them all in 2 appointments, which was overwhelming for me. My anxiety grew after the first appointment where my mouth didn’t numb completely and I had several «shocks» of nerve pain. After the first shock he numbed me some more, after the second shock he numbed me so much that I couldn’t feel the entire left side of my face (including my eye lids) for the rest of the evening. At the end of the appointment I he had trouble adjusting the filling for my bite comfort and ended up removing so much of it that my molar is completely flat on the top/​outside.
At my second appointment to fill the remaining cavities I was so anxious that I cried throughout most of it. I actually had a hard time hearing things because my ears were filled with tears. He did not seem to notice and did not offer me a break. The assistant helping him wiped my tears (and ears) and told me it would be okay. But again, no one offered me a minute to calm down or compose myself. I cried in the parking lot in my car for a while after. Later that week I had some severe hot/​cold sensitivity on one of the fillings and when I called the office he told me that I probably needed a root canal and I should come back in. I never went back. I actually started going to the UM dental school (they are very gentle, explain everything, and said I didn’t need a root canal — after 3 years of going there my anxiety around dental visits is completely gone).
I know a lot of people who like Dr. Greashaber, but I would definitely not recommend him to anyone with fears/​anxiety.

Great experience everytime! My kids also love going to the dentist now. Every member of the staff has been fantastic and I am very, very happy with Dr. Greashaber and his team. Couldn’t recommend them more!

Great experience! Dr. Greashaber and all the hygienests were friendly and helpful. I was embarrassed about how long it had been since my last dental appointment, but they didn’t bat an eye at that, and made me feel very comfortable. They took the time to carefully explain each x-​ray and photo. They would talk me through what they were doing during the cleanings and fillings, and would stop to answer my questions when I didn’t understand. They were also very cognizant of my insurance plan — they told me which fillings I could delay until my insurance coverage improves, and which ones should be taken care of now.
I used to be terrified of the dentist, but now I am excited for my next visit.

I found Dr. Greashaber’s Office after waiting way too long to go to the dentist.
I had built up so much anxiety about going because I was used to being ridiculed by dental hygienist and dentist alike for waiting to long (kind of ironic I know). This is NOT at all the case here.
They are great!
The hygienist made a few suggestions during my cleaning and was always polite, friendly and happy. Dr Greashaber has now performed four follow-​up visits for crowns and filings (again, necessary because I waited way to long to find this dentist) he is always gentle and concerned about my comfort. In addition he consults with me to assure that his recommendations are within my budget.
He has used a really cool camera to take pictures in my mouth so that I can see the actual work he is doing. I didn’t know that I wanted to see my teeth after they had been drilled, but very cool that I can!
I would recommended him highly and I am actually going to have him perform some cosmetic work in addition to the necessary stuff.
Laura in his office is always conscience about keeping me advised on the full cost of the service when it is booked and working with me so I that I understand the billing.
This office has turned something I feared into an enjoyable experience for me.
Great example of what a small-​family owned business can and should be!

I’ve been going to Dr. Greashaber’s for almost 3 years now, and I have 0 complaints and lots and lots of happy stories. The hygienists here are all amazing at making cleanings go by without pain or anxiety (using both dentistry and conversation skills). Dr. Greashaber is sweet and approachable. The receptions, likewise, are sweet and approachable. This place is great. Convenient, affordable, clean, kind, professional.

My entire family has had wonderful experiences and results with Dr. Greashaber and his staff.
Personally, I was impressed by his cosmetic dentistry skills in shaping two new composites onto my peg lateral teeth. He was careful in matching color and sculpting angles so that the teeth looked organic and real. He has an artist’s eye.
Dr. Greashaber is smart, conversational, very quick and one of the best in his profession. The care that he and his team provide is exceptional.
My children have had excellent care there, as well. The staff members are engaging and genuinely interested in making them feel at ease. I was welcome to stay in the cheerful exam room with my son, or I could wait in the nicely appointed reception area.
Dr. Greashaber gave us a reference to an excellent, nearby orthodontist. Also, when my husband needed an urgent check up, the office staff were great about finding space for him right away.
I also love the fact that the office is close to U-M’s campus and within walking distance of Burns Park Elementary and Tappan Middle Schools.
