The "Dearborn Family" location at 2021 Monroe St #204, Dearborn, MI 48124, is one of these many clinics. GEDC's mission is to be a premier provider of patient-centered healthcare, inspiring its practices and team members to deliver comprehensive and clinically distinctive care so that each community member can smile with confidence. They emphasize a patient-first approach, aiming to make quality dental care accessible and affordable. This is achieved by providing administrative and business support services to affiliated dental practices, allowing dental professionals to concentrate on patient care. The services offered at Great Expressions Dental Centers are comprehensive and cater to a wide range of dental needs for both adults and pediatric patients. These include: General Dentistry: Routine check-ups, cleanings, fillings (including tooth-colored composite resins), and preventive care. Periodontal Treatment: Diagnosis and treatment of gum disease, including gingivitis. Endodontic Treatment: Root canal procedures to repair and save severely damaged or infected teeth. Cosmetic Dentistry: Teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, and bonding to improve the appearance of smiles. Orthodontics: Comprehensive orthodontic services for teeth alignment and bite correction, including traditional braces and potentially Invisalign.

While the Dearborn Family location generally receives positive feedback, some online reviews indicate occasional concerns regarding billing and communication, which the company aims to address through its patient services. The organization is backed by private equity firms like Roark Capital Group, which acquired Great Expressions Dental Centers in 2016, further supporting its growth and expansion strategy.
