Meet Dr. Haik
A Journey Beyond the Smile
Every patient who walks into my office has a story. As a dentist, my greatest privilege is being part of that story – helping people not only care for their smiles but also building a relationship that goes far beyond routine dental care. I’m incredibly lucky to serve such a wide range of individuals, each with their own unique backgrounds, goals, and challenges. It’s in these personal connections where my passion for dentistry truly comes to life.
It All Starts with a Conversation
I believe the foundation of exceptional dental care is understanding. From the moment we meet, my goal is to listen – whether you’re here for preventive care, a cosmetic treatment, or something more complex. Together, we’ll create a personalized plan that fits your needs and helps you achieve your goals. It’s not just about fixing a tooth or completing a procedure – it’s about working side by side, creating a healthier, more confident you.
What brings me the most joy is seeing the transformation, not just in your smile but in how you feel. There’s nothing quite like the moment when a patient finishes their treatment and flashes that big, genuine smile – the one that says, "I’m happy, I’m confident, and I’m proud of how far we’ve come."
More Than Teeth –
It’s About Trust
Dentistry isn’t just a profession for me – it’s personal. Each day, I get to be part of life-changing moments, whether it’s a child’s very first trip to the dentist, restoring someone’s smile after years of discomfort, or helping someone achieve the perfect smile they’ve always dreamed of. For me, it’s about creating trust, one conversation and one treatment at a time.
What I love most is that every patient I meet teaches me something new. It’s these moments that make each day rewarding. The dental work is important, of course – but the relationships we build and the trust that grows between us? That’s what makes this career so meaningful.
My Story
I’ve always been drawn to helping people, and that’s what ultimately led me into dentistry. I grew up in Seattle, Washington, and later moved to Wichita, Kansas during my teenage years. After finishing dental school, I practiced in Oregon, where I really began to appreciate the personal connections I could make with patients.
It was after moving to Michigan to be closer to extended family that I met my amazing wife, Sandy. Together, we’ve built a life here with our two wonderful daughters, Clare and Agnes, who fill our lives with so much joy – whether we’re taking road trips, enjoying time by the lake, or simply spending quality time together as a family.
Commitment to Excellence
I’ve taken the steps to become a top implant dental specialist here in Farmington Hills, and I continue to advance my skills and knowledge in the ever-changing world of technology. Implant dentistry can truly transform lives, and I’m passionate about using the latest innovations to provide life-changing results for my patients.
I believe that dentistry is constantly evolving, and I am committed to staying at the advancements. My patients trust me to not only provide exceptional care today but to continually expand my knowledge and skills to serve them even better tomorrow. Whether it’s adopting cutting-edge technologies or refining my techniques, I’m driven to deliver the very best for each of my patients.
My dedication to education and patient care is reflected in the fellowships I have earned from prestigious dental organizations:
- Fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry (FAGD)
- Fellowship in the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (ICOI)
- Fellowship in the American Academy of Implant Prosthodontics (AAIP)
These fellowships represent my commitment to continual learning and my desire to offer my patients the most advanced care possible. I regularly attend seminars, conferences, and lectures both locally and nationally to stay updated on the latest trends in dentistry.
Creating Your Smile, Together
Every smile is different, and every patient has a unique vision of what their perfect smile looks like. At Smile at Life Dentistry, my team and I are here to help you realize that vision. Whether you need a simple check-up, a complete smile makeover, or specialized treatment, we’re here to make it happen.
I’m passionate about giving you a dental experience that’s not just about the procedure – but about you, your comfort, and your confidence. I can’t wait to meet you and work together to create the smile you’ve always wanted.
