Smiles by Design is a dental office where care starts with a careful look at your whole smile. A visit includes a thorough exam, a gentle cleaning and digital radiographs when they are due, and intraoral cameras let you see on screen exactly what we see and why we recommend a treatment.
Whether you need a routine checkup, a restoration for a damaged tooth or a brighter, straighter smile, we plan treatment around your goals and talk through your options before any work begins. The aim is a smile that stays healthy for years and looks the way you want it to.
About Our PracticePreventive, cosmetic and restorative dentistry in Grand Rapids, planned around your oral health and your goals for your smile.
Dental exams and cleanings remove the plaque and tartar that daily brushing leaves behind and give us a regular look at your teeth and gums. Each checkup includes an oral cancer exam, with digital radiographs taken when they are due. Finding a small problem early keeps treatment simple.

Cosmetic dentistry improves the color, shape and balance of your smile. Zoom!® teeth whitening brightens stained or dull teeth, and bonding repairs chips and small gaps with tooth-colored composite. Every result is matched to your natural teeth.

Invisalign straightens teeth with a series of clear, removable aligners instead of brackets and wires. The aligners are hard to notice, and you take them out to eat, brush and floss. It is a comfortable way to correct crowding, gaps and bite problems.

Dental implants replace a missing tooth from the root up, with a post placed in the jawbone and a crown on top. Because an implant stands on its own, the neighboring teeth stay untouched. The result looks, feels and chews like a natural tooth.

Periodontal disease treatment stops the infection behind red, swollen or bleeding gums before it loosens teeth. Scaling and root planing clears plaque and tartar from below the gumline, and pocket irrigation flushes bacteria from deeper spaces. Healthier gums protect the teeth and bone that hold your smile in place.

Root canal therapy relieves the pain of an infected or inflamed tooth by cleaning out the damaged pulp inside it. The tooth is then sealed and protected, often with a porcelain crown. Saving your natural tooth avoids an extraction and keeps your bite intact.
Learn MoreYour first visit is a chance to meet our team and get a complete picture of your oral health. We start with a thorough dental exam, an oral cancer exam and digital radiographs, and intraoral cameras show you close-up images of your own teeth on screen. Then we talk through what we found, answer your questions and plan any care together.
New Patient Information
Loud snoring, daytime fatigue, jaw pain and headaches can all trace back to how your jaw and airway work at night. A sleep apnea appliance gently positions the lower jaw to help keep the airway open while you sleep. When clicking, soreness or tension in the jaw joint is the problem, TMJ treatment looks at your bite and the joint itself to find relief.
