Detailed Introduction
Great Lakes Family Dental Group is a well-established and extensive dental practice operating across multiple locations in Michigan and Indiana. With a history spanning over 80 years, dating back to their first practice in Saginaw, MI in 1938, they have built a reputation for providing comprehensive and patient-focused dental care. The "Group" in their name accurately reflects their structure, as they operate as a network of clinics with numerous dentists and specialists on staff across various offices. This multi-location, multi-specialty approach distinguishes them as a clinic rather than an individual practice.
They offer a broad spectrum of dental services designed to cater to the entire family, including:
Preventive Care: This encompasses routine dental exams, digital X-rays, professional cleanings, fluoride treatments, oral cancer screenings, and sealants.
General Dentistry: Addressing common dental needs, including fillings, crowns, and bridges.
Cosmetic Dentistry: Enhancing smiles through procedures like teeth whitening (including Zoom!), porcelain veneers, dental implants, composite dental bonding, and full smile makeovers.
Orthodontics: Providing solutions for misaligned teeth, including traditional braces and Invisalign®, with in-house orthodontists.
Oral Surgery: Services such as tooth extractions, wisdom teeth removal, dental implant placement, and gum disease treatment are often performed on-site.
Pediatric Dentistry: Specialized care for the unique oral health needs of children.
Emergency Dental Care: Offering same-day appointments for urgent dental issues at all locations.
Specialized Treatments: This also includes root canals, sedation dentistry, sleep dentistry, and TMD/TMJ treatment.
Great Lakes Family Dental Group emphasizes patient comfort and utilizes advanced dental technology to ensure efficient and effective treatments. Their technological investments include digital low-radiation X-rays, 3D scanning, intraoral cameras, and even CEREC same-day crowns at select locations. They also employ technologies like Formlab 3D printers for diagnostic models, Platelet Rich Fibrin Therapy for enhanced healing, Millennium LANAP for periodontal treatment, and Picasso® Lasers for precise soft tissue procedures. They even incorporate Artificial Intelligence (Pearl AI) for early detection and VoiceWorks for hands-free periodontal charting.
The group is dedicated to providing a personalized and comfortable experience, with a focus on building trust and understanding with their patients. They offer flexible payment options to make dental care accessible, accepting most dental insurance plans (including Delta Dental, MetLife, BlueCross BlueShield, etc.) and offering various financing solutions such as the Essential Dental Plan, CareCredit, and a "Pay-Over-Time" option through Sunbit. Their commitment extends to community involvement, with dentists volunteering their time for oral cancer screenings and supporting local events.
