Dentistry done with intention.
Maize and Blue Dental was founded on a simple belief: every patient deserves the same standard of care that the best dental schools in the country teach — delivered with warmth, clarity, and respect.
Meet Our TeamCaring for Ypsilanti families
Maize and Blue Dental is a Michigan-rooted family and cosmetic practice in Ypsilanti. We are functional esthetic dentists — we treat with the conviction that the most valuable material in your mouth is your own natural tooth structure, and we work to preserve it.
Our doctors — Dr. Rita Maizy, Dr. John McLaren, and Dr. Yousif Maizy — bring University of Michigan training and a shared commitment to conservative, evidence-based care. We start by listening to your priorities, your budget, and your goals before we ever talk treatment.
Whether you are here for a routine cleaning or a complete smile transformation, our goal is the same: to exceed your expectations of what a dental office should be.
The four pillars of our practice
Conservative Approach
We believe your natural teeth are irreplaceable. Every treatment recommendation prioritizes preserving what you have. We never recommend more than you actually need.
University of Michigan Roots
Our doctors carry deep University of Michigan roots — Dr. Rita Maizy served as class president at the U of M School of Dentistry, and Dr. John McLaren still teaches on its clinical faculty. That keeps us at the very edge of dental science.
Advanced Technology
From 3D CBCT imaging and digital impressions to CEREC same-day crowns, we invest in the technology that delivers better outcomes, faster treatment, and greater comfort for every patient.
Patient-First Care
We run on time. We explain what we see. We answer your questions without making you feel rushed. Our team measures success not just by clinical outcomes, but by how you felt during your visit.
A visit that respects your time
From the moment you pull into our Packard Street office to the moment you leave with a written plan — every step is designed to be calm, clear, and on time.
A warm welcome at check-in
Our front-office team greets you by name, confirms your information, and walks you back to your operatory on time. No waiting-room shuffle.
A thorough, calm exam
Digital x-rays, an oral-cancer screening, intra-oral camera review of any concerns, and a complete tour of your mouth. We show you what we see on the chairside screen.
A frank, jargon-free conversation
One of our doctors sits down with you, walks through the findings, and outlines your options in plain language. No upsell, no pressure, no surprise next-visit charges.
A clear plan and a real next step
You leave with a written treatment plan, an honest cost estimate, and a confirmed appointment if you need one. The financial coordinator is available the same day for any questions.
The team behind every appointment
Our hygienists, assistants, coordinators, and office leaders are why patients keep coming back. Every member of the team is hand-picked for clinical skill and the warmth they bring to every interaction.
Hygienists
Gentle, thorough, and educational. Our registered dental hygienists are the first line of defense against decay and gum disease, and they take the time to teach the technique that actually works for your mouth.
Dental Assistants
The right hands at the right moment. Our assistants are trained on every modern restorative and surgical workflow we offer, so every procedure flows smoothly from start to finish.
Patient Coordinators
Your single point of contact for everything non-clinical: scheduling, insurance verification, payment plans, and follow-up. They remember your kids' names and your appointment preferences.
Office Leadership
Behind the scenes, our office manager and lead administrators keep the practice running on time, on budget, and on the patient-first values our doctors are known for.
