Christopher J. Paulson, DDS
Craftsman · LOCATOR FIXED® & Implant Restorations
“I think we change people's lives by building strong personal relationships, while improving overall health, quality of life, and confidence. We just happen to do it with dentistry.”
Dr. Paulson started his professional life as a dental technician in a local laboratory — eight years spent painstakingly fabricating crowns, bridges, dentures, and implant restorations before dental school at the University of Detroit Mercy. That craftsman's training put him far ahead of a typical graduate, and the same local lab he trained in is the lab he trusts today.
Nearly twenty years into practice, his focus is identifying and correcting problems with minimally-invasive techniques and an emphasis on lasting results — in an office his team keeps painless, stress-free, and genuinely welcoming. His specialty is LOCATOR FIXED® permanent teeth — implant-secured teeth that stay in, restored with a technician’s precision.
Cynthia Sitchon, DDS
Same-Day Dentistry · Family Dentistry
“I love being a dentist. The friendships I've built with my patients and their families are one in a million.”
Dr. Sitchon works to make every patient feel at home, giving each person the attention they deserve. Through relentless continuing education she stays current with the latest technology and treatments — because her patients deserve the best options and the best results. She leads the practice’s same-day dentistry — CEREC ceramic crowns designed, milled and placed in a single visit, and 3D-printed appliances made in-house.
“I am truly blessed to live and work in such a wonderful community. I couldn't ask for a better job — or for better people sharing their smiles with me.”

Scanned, not goop-and-guesswork.
The practice runs digital end to end, and the difference starts with the part patients used to dread: impressions. The 3Shape TRIOS® scanner maps your teeth with a small light wand — no trays, no gagging, no impression material — and produces a model more accurate than the goop ever was.
That scan does real work. Crowns fit better and need fewer adjustments, because they’re milled to the scan rather than to a stone copy of a tray. Many restorations are designed and made the same day. Your records stay on file, so a lost or broken denture can simply be milled again. And when treatment is bigger — a smile designed on your own photo, a digital denture, or implants planned backwards from the final tooth — every step starts from the same accurate digital model of you.
Ready when you are.
New patients are welcomed with an unhurried, comprehensive first visit — photographs, a conversation about your goals, and a plan you'll understand completely.
