Get to know Dentist Dr. Cynthia E. Bailey, who serves patients in Richmond, Michigan.

Dr. Bailey is an experienced dentist who is currently serving patients’ dental needs at Bailey Dental Group in Richmond, Michigan. Dr. Bailey and her staff’s number one priority is to ensure that their patients always feel that their concerns have been heard, that they understand all aspects of their dental care plan, and that they are able to access all of the types of care that they need.

Dr. Bailey founded Bailey Dental Group in 1985 in an office with only one treatment room. Though it is a risky decision to start a dental practice from scratch, Dr. Bailey was able to keep the practice alive and healthy. Today, Bailey Dental Group features twelve exam rooms with a diverse set of available services. Some of these services include cleanings and check-ups, crowns, bridges, root canals, dental implants, and fillings. In addition, Dr. Bailey and her staff offer treatments geared towards preserving patients’ long-term oral health, including periodontal care, oral cancer screenings, and infection control.

Dr. Bailey grew up in Mt. Clemens, now Clinton Township. She graduated from Chippewa Valley High School in 1974. After high school, she attended Macomb County Community College in the dental assistant curriculum and decided half-way through the course to continue with her education and become a dentist. After all, her uncle, who is also her godfather, was a dentist. She completed three years at Macomb, earning two associates’ degrees in liberal arts and dental science. She then attended the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and earned her bachelor’s degree in biology in 1979. Finally, she attended the University of Detroit and graduated from Dental School in 1983, receiving the Outstanding Student and Crown and Bridge Awards.

While in school, Dr. Bailey assisted at a practice which gave her excellent clinical experience from working with several specialists. After graduation, she practiced at that same office for a period of time. In addition, Dr. Bailey is a certified Invisalign® provider. Invisalign is a type of orthodontic treatment that helps to straighten teeth without the use of the typical metal braces.

Dentistry, also known as Dental and Oral Medicine, is a branch of medicine that consists of the study, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases, disorders, and conditions of the oral cavity. Dentists are responsible for diagnosing oral diseases, as well as promoting oral health and disease prevention. Additionally, they look for abnormalities within the mouth such as lumps, swelling or discoloration, and perform necessary diagnostic procedures to diagnose and treat these abnormalities. Dr. Bailey’s personal traits, combined with her extensive dental training and experience, allow her to offer compassionate, empathetic care to patients of all ages and backgrounds.

Dr. Bailey has provided mentorship to many people who have become very successful; be it with horses or in the dental field. She possesses an inherent nature to teach someone how to do something, even if they did not know they had it in them to accomplish the task.

Dr. Bailey has traits from both her mother and father. Her mother was an artist who enjoyed painting; which she passed on to Dr. Bailey. Her father, on the other hand, was an engineer and a designer who passed on his love of constructing with one’s hands. Dentistry provided an avenue for Dr. Bailey to use her engineering and design skills, while also being artistic.

Dr. Bailey’s love for horses is her passion. She also loves to garden, travel, and decorate her house. However, most of all, she loves raising her daughter, Tess Marie. Tess is Dr. Bailey’s riding partner and she keeps her young. Tess just may follow in her mother’s footsteps and then the torch will be passed on.
