Toomajanian and Bowers “Show Us Your Smile”
open house is a success
Toomajanian and Bowers held their “Show Us Your
Smile” open house on Friday, September 10th. The
event was an opportunity for current and potential patients of all ages to gather together at the dental practice located at 201 E Main Street.
Experience The Beauty of Autumn at MainCentre!
Apartment homes, Retail Space and Executive
Suites

urban format making it the perfect place to call home
or to start a business.

and M-5, making it a quick drive to many of the surrounding areas in the Detroit metro area.
At Maincentre you will enjoy:
-Competitive, all inclusive rates on leases

-High visibility location on Centre Street between Main

-Full use of MainCentre’s club room, at no additional
charge for meetings or entertaining clients
- Northville’s restaurants, shops, annual events and
highly acclaimed school system
Numerous attendees commented on the décor, hightech equipment, and cleanliness of the office. “I never
knew a dentist office could have such a home-like atmosphere. I’m truly impressed with the comfortable
furniture, smiling staff and attractively decorated
rooms of this beautiful office,” noted one visitor.
Pre-registered and walk-in attendants were welcomed
with tasty food, excellent music, relaxing chair massages and educational lessons on health and beauty.
For the event, Doctors Laurie Toomajanian and Piiamari Bowers were both active in providing guests with
information sessions about dental care and their practice. The doctors had their staff of friendly assistants
and hygienists available for meeting with attendees, in
addition to providing them with tours of the bright, welcoming office. Starbucks gift cards were passed out
to the first twenty attendants for their enthusiasm. A
drawing was also held for all to enter in which twelve
lucky people won either: teeth whitening, electric
toothbrushes, Starbucks gift cards, or gift baskets.

“Our practice has a foundation of integrity and high
caliber care in a comforting and secure environment.
Our reward is to realize the trust that has grown from a
partnership of care between our team and our patients,” Dr. Bowers explained.

This dental practice is taking an appointment which
some may see as stressful and turning it into a comfortable, relaxed experience through education and
relationship building. “Events like this are a unique
way for both patients and us to congregate in a way
other than a quick, routine trip to the office. It was
very gratifying seeing our patients, along with other
participants in a social environment,” stated Dr. Bowers.
We would like to thank all who showed us their beautiful smiles and helped make the event a pleasurable
way to spend a Friday afternoon in downtown Northville. To find out more about the practice and event,

Get healthy, fight stress…and sweat!
Bikram Yoga Comes to Downtown Northville
Perhaps Bikram Choudhury, founder of the
internationally acclaimed Bikram Yoga, said it best:
“Yoga is the only exercise in the world you can do at
any age. It’s never too late, you’re never too old, too
sick, too fat, too anything to start from scratch again.”
Certified Birkam Yoga instructor Melissa Curnett
agrees and invites you to grab your yoga mat and
towel – because Bikram Yoga has arrived in Northville! Bikram Yoga Northville is located at 122 MainCenter at Cady, in the heart of beautiful downtown
Northville.
Bikram Yoga’s beginning 90-minute class is a
complete series of 26 postures (asanas) and two
breathing exercises (prananyamas) which are suitable
for all ages and levels of ability. Each posture
stretches and strengthens specific muscles, ligaments,
and joints for the next posture, which ultimately balances and strengthens every system in the body in
order to prevent illness, injury and limit the effects of
aging. This series of postures also increases one’s
self-control, which greatly reduces high levels of
stress. “Come sweat with us,” invites Curnett. “This
yoga never gets boring!”
In addition, Bikram Yoga Northville will offer
massage by certified therapists as well as a boutique
which boasts an array of goods that will nurture your
inner yogi/yogini.
If you haven’t tried Bikram Yoga, now is the
perfect time. For more information, including class
