Your smile is your calling card. When it’s radiant, it signifies youthfulness and confidence, so nothing takes its toll on self-esteem like having missing teeth, few teeth, or no teeth. If this sounds like you, know that at Battle Creek Family Dentistry, we’re committed to helping you claim your smile back. One dental appliance – dentures – can make a huge difference in how you feel, how you smile, and how you eat. Dentures, available right here in Battle Creek, are removable sets of teeth which restore function to your mouth. And with today’s technology, they’re so lifelike that they’re difficult to detect!

Talk to us about your smile situation. Let’s see if dentures can help you smile, laugh, and speak with confidence … and once more, eat the nutritious foods you love!

If you’re like most people, you’ll have some or all four of your third molars (or wisdom teeth) removed at some point in your life. Perhaps you’ve already had this done and now your son or daughter needs assessment. Are they experiencing discomfort or pain at the back of their mouth or in their jaws? Do they have swelling around the jaw? Is the pain affecting their sleep? Are they having trouble opening their mouth or eating? Do they have chronic bad breath or an unpleasant taste in their mouth?

Wisdom teeth don’t always have to be removed. In some cases, close monitoring and special cleaning techniques are enough to keep wisdom teeth in check… But the only way of knowing what action should be taken is by calling us for a thorough examination. We’ll help determine the best course of treatment, and no matter the best option, we can help! We’ve removed literally hundreds of wisdom teeth in Battle Creek! Call today!

When you’re looking for teeth whitening in Battle Creek, you have many choices – and you may be tempted to just purchase off-the-shelf whitening products at the local pharmacy because they seem cheaper than a customized option available from us. In most cases though, off-the-shelf whitening will not give you the results you’re looking for. Results could range from unnaturally super-white teeth or teeth that are still drab and discolored. At Battle Creek Family Dentistry, we customize a treatment plan with consideration of your unique smile and your challenge, and then prescribe your teeth whitening solution based on these unique needs. With us, you’ll achieve natural results quickly and safely.

When you’re in next, ask us about teeth whitening, and if you’re new to us, call and we’ll set up your consultation.

The American Dental Association recommends you see your dental team at least two times per year, and depending on your oral health, this frequency may increase. Your visits will include a teeth cleaning and polishing, and at least one of the visits each year will include a checkup with your dentist. Seeing us twice a year at minimum helps us help you to keep your oral health at its optimum level … the best it can be.

Professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar to help prevent gum disease. They also provide the opportunity for us to give you oral hygiene instruction and tips to keep your teeth and gums healthy. Also, with regular checkups, we have a better chance at finding issues when they are still small – saving you more extensive care, time, and money. Plus, if there is anything you’d like to change about your smile, such as a chip repair, brightening your smile, covering cracks, or redoing a restoration, this is a perfect opportunity to ask this Battle Creek dentist about your options!
