Dr Schmakel conducted/ completed several tooth implants for me throughout the years. He’s an excellent dentist /oral surgeon. He makes you feel comfortable, relaxed, and keeps you informed at each step in the process. Great staff, too.

Dr. Nykiel did a great job with an extraction and implant. No pain and no issues, and I healed quickly.

Dr. Schmakel has an an excellent bedside manner, thoroughly explaining what to expect. He speaks directly to the patient (my teen sons) which I appreciate; answers questions, and makes sure the patient is feeling comfortable (physically and emotionally). The rest of the staff has all been compassionate and competent as well. All of our procedures have gone smoothly and appointments run on time.

All I have to say is outstanding from reception to Assistance to Dr. his self. Everybody was welcoming and engaging and making me comfortable for my experience. They play music had a lovely atmosphere. Dr. had great vibes and was gentle for the whole process no pain except for the injections for numbing. Ouch overall excellent experience.

Dr Nykiel made the wisdom tooth extraction quick and painless for me. I forget my nurse’s name but she was really sweet— played Coldplay lol : )

About Bingham Farms Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery
Bingham Farms Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery is an oral surgery practice located at 31100 Telegraph Road, Suite 100 in Bingham Farms, Michigan, serving patients across the Oakland County area. Dental implants are a core part of the practice, and its website walks patients through the full range of implant care, including replacing individual missing teeth, options for people missing all of their upper or lower teeth, implant supported overdentures, bone grafting for implants, aftercare following implant placement, and the cost of dental implants. The practice describes implant treatment as a team effort: its surgeons handle the implant surgery, any initial tooth extractions, and bone grafting when needed, while the patient's own restorative dentist fits and makes the final replacement teeth.
The practice explains that its surgeons place single stage implants, which do not require a second procedure to uncover them, and that in some situations an implant can be placed at the same time a tooth is extracted, reducing the number of surgical visits. Beyond implants, services listed on the site include bone grafting procedures such as ridge augmentation, sinus lift, and socket preservation, wisdom teeth removal, tooth extractions, jaw surgery, facial trauma care, pre-prosthetic surgery, oral pathology, treatment of impacted canines, bone morphogenetic protein, and anesthesia. The office is open Monday through Thursday from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., and can be reached at (248) 642-2115.
