Proper care for your teeth not only improves your health, but it can also enhance your appearance and self-confidence. That’s why it’s so important to visit our Grand Rapids dentist for a checkup and cleaning every 6 months, or twice a year. Procedures like fluoride treatments, oral cancer screenings, , and more all work to make your smile that much stronger on top of at-home brushing and flossing. We can even help with nighttime teeth grinding or TMJ related jaw pain!

Teeth Cleanings
Regular teeth cleanings are essential for a healthy smile. Our gentle, thorough cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup, helping prevent cavities and gum disease. Using advanced technology like the Cavitron® ultrasonic scaler, we provide a comfortable and effective cleaning experience. Whether it’s your first visit or a routine checkup, our team ensures your smile stays fresh, bright, and healthy.
Children’s Dentistry
We love caring for growing smiles! Our dentist provides a fun, friendly, and stress-free experience to help children feel comfortable while in the exam chair. From routine cleanings to cavity prevention, we focus on building healthy habits early. As kids grow, we also monitor their dental development and provide orthodontic recommendations when needed. With a gentle approach, we make visits positive for kids and easy for parents!
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are a simple, effective way to shield teeth from cavities. This thin, protective coating is applied to the chewing surfaces of back molars, where decay is most likely to form. Quick, painless, and long-lasting, sealants help block out bacteria and food particles, reducing the risk of cavities—especially for kids and teens.
Fluoride Treatments
Fluoride treatments help protect and strengthen teeth by making enamel more resistant to cavities. A quick, pain-free fluoride varnish provides lasting protection, especially for those prone to decay. While commonly recommended for kids, fluoride is also beneficial for adults to help maintain strong, healthy teeth. This simple treatment is an easy way to give your smile extra defense against cavities and sensitivity!
Oral Cancer Screenings
If you want an easy way to detect early signs of cancer or other abnormalities in the mouth, our dentist recommends that your first step be an oral cancer screening. During your exam, we’ll carefully check for any unusual changes in the lips, tongue, gums, and throat. Catching symptoms as soon as possible is key to successful treatment, and regular screenings provide peace of mind.
Gum Disease Treatments
Healthy gums are the foundation of a strong smile. If you have signs of gum disease, we offer non-surgical treatments like scaling and root planing to gently remove bacteria and promote healing. Ultimately, the condition of your gum tissue will influence the type of personalized care and preventive strategies we prescribe. Antibiotic rinses may also be recommended as part of your treatment.
Night Guards
If you grind or clench your teeth at night, our dentist can create a custom night guard for you to help protect your smile. Made to fit comfortably, night guards reduce wear on teeth, prevent jaw pain, and minimize headaches caused by unwanted pressure or tooth movement. Our high-quality, custom-fit guards provide a simple yet effective way to keep your teeth safe while you sleep, ensuring a healthier, more comfortable bite every morning.
Sports Mouth Guards
Stay in the game with a custom sports mouth guard designed to protect your teeth from impact and injury. Unlike store-bought options, our mouth guards created by our dentist provide a comfortable, secure fit for better protection and easier breathing. Whether you play contact sports or enjoy active hobbies, a well-made mouth guard helps keep your smile safe, so you can focus on performing your best!
TMJ Disorder Treatments
If you experience jaw pain, headaches, or clicking when you chew, you may have TMJ disorder. We offer personalized treatments, including custom night guards and bite adjustments, to relieve discomfort and improve jaw function. Our goal is to reduce pain, prevent further strain, and help you enjoy a more comfortable, stress-free smile.
