Todaro Dental Continues Serving in Livonia

Todaro Dental is a family-owned, general dental practice that has been serving the Livonia community for 35 years. Sisters Drs. Terri and Cynthia Todaro use a gentle approach with a holistic mindset. At Todaro Dental, they offer a spa-like atmosphere which includes essential oils and noise-cancelling headphones to help reduce dental anxiety. The practice finds an importance in taking their time with patients so that they are able to fully address their concerns.

            The office offers the safe removal of old mercury fillings and has been celebrating 35 years of mercury-free restorations. Their highly skilled dental hygienists utilize state-of-the-art methods to remove biofilm (bacteria) from the mouth and treat periodontal disease non-surgically. The sisters are both members of the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology and provide metal- and BPA-free fillings, porcelain inlays, onlays and veneers.

            “Many smiles have lost their youthful look because the teeth are worn down. We have a completely non-invasive approach that protects your teeth from wearing down and restores their original beauty, brightness and shape instantly,” says Terri.

Location: 31395 W. Seven Mile Rd., Ste. B., Livonia. For appointments and more information, call 248-477-7905, email [email protected] or visit TodaroDental.com.
