Firlik Family Dentistry and Airway Health Care

Firlik Family Dentistry and Airway Health Care is a distinguished dental clinic located at 6225 W River Dr NE, Belmont, MI 49306, serving Belmont, Grand Rapids, and surrounding communities. The practice is spearheaded by Dr. Urszula Firlik, a highly experienced and dedicated dental professional who graduated summa cum laude from Georgetown University School of Dentistry in 1989. She established her practice in Grand Rapids in 1992 and has since committed to continuous education and advanced training. The clinic offers a comprehensive range of dental services, encompassing general and family dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, and specialized solutions for airway health. Their general dentistry services include routine teeth cleanings, exams, fillings (using BPA-free composite resin), and preventive care. For cosmetic needs, they provide teeth whitening, bonding, and other aesthetic improvements. A significant focus of Firlik Family Dentistry is airway health, a holistic approach that recognizes the intricate relationship between oral structures, breathing, and overall well-being. Dr. Firlik has pursued extensive training in this area, including mini-residencies with Airway Health Solutions (AHS), Orthotropic and Facial Orthopedics training through the Academy of Airway and Gnathologic Orthopedics (AAGO) and ALF Educational Institute (AEI), and Myofunctional Therapy certification. This specialization allows them to diagnose and treat conditions like sleep apnea, TMJ disorders (TMD therapy), and other sleep-disordered breathing issues for both adults and children. They offer personalized non-invasive treatments, including oral appliance therapy, to improve sleep quality, breathing, and overall health. For children, they emphasize early intervention with pediatric airway evaluations to address potential developmental issues that could impact breathing, growth, and behavior. The practice prides itself on a patient-centered environment, prioritizing open communication and providing compassionate care. They utilize state-of-the-art facilities and technology, meeting or surpassing OSHA and CDC standards. The team, including Ashley, Ellie, Laurie, and Jill, is dedicated to ensuring patient comfort and delivering high-quality results. Firlik Family Dentistry and Airway Health Care accepts most dental insurance plans and offers financing options through Care Credit or Lending Club for major dental work. Their commitment is to not only enhance smiles but also to improve respiratory function, sleep quality, and overall wellness for patients of all ages.
