Meet Dr Allen Seel
Dr. Allen Seel is the senior dentist here at Gentle Dental Associates ….which simply means he has less hair and most of it is grey. He has called Michigan his home for almost his entire life, and has called Gentle Dental Associates home for over 18 years. He has been happily married to Phyllis, a psychologist, for over 51 years. Their daughter, Robin, is married to Jeff. They also share two sons Brad, married to Rachel, and David, married to Deborah. The family has grown through the years to now include ten grandchildren Josh, Rebecca, Alexandra, Mathew, Noah, Jake, Madison, Jack, Lillie & Sophia.
Dr. Seel is passionate about comprehensive care dentistry, but really enjoys cosmetic dentistry and Smile Makeovers. He did his undergraduate work at the University of Detroit for three years before being accepted to the dental program at the University of Detroit School of Dentistry from which he graduated in 1962. He then became an associate in a practice in Detroit for 8 months before he started his own practice in Dearborn in 1963. He continued to practice alone for many years until the practice grew and he took on an associate and later made him a partner. Eventually the practice required another associate who was also made a partner. The growing practice moved to a larger facility until 1991 when Dr. Seel sold the practice to his partners. In 1991 he bought a practice in Ypsilanti and founded Gentle Dental Associates which moved to its current location in Ann Arbor in 1997.
He is committed to continuing education and has completed more than 2700 hours in advanced dental education. He no longer practices dentistry, but serves as a mentor for the dentists he has assembled to service the needs of the patients in his busy office. He enjoys boating, fishing, exercising and sports and spends most of his leisure time with his large, close knit family who live here in Michigan.
