Why Choose Our Practice?
When it comes to picking a dentist, we know that you have options. Personalized, gentle, comprehensive patient care is our number one priority.
Here are just a few things that make our practice unique:
Kid-Friendly Environment
The hardest thing about getting treatment at the dentist, especially for young children, is managing fear and anxiety. Usually, this has to do with fear of the unknown. At Grand Blanc Pediatric Dentistry, we practice proven methods that make for a positive treatment experience. Our approach combines:
- Kid-friendly vocabulary: In order to improve the chances of your child having a positive experience, we are selective with our use of words. Please support us by NOT USING negative words.
We commonly say “NO 4 LETTER WORDS ARE ALLOWED.” Examples of these are shot, hurt, pain etc. These words dramatically decrease our chance of a successful appointment.

Honesty and Affordability
We know that the cost of care can be confusing. In addition to offering a number of payment options to fit your budget, we also give you estimates on your treatment ahead of time. We participate with a variety of insurance plans and are happy to submit claims on behalf of our patients. We also offer dental financing options such as Care Credit to help fit your needs. We are happy to help you navigate your dental insurance and alternative payment options.
