Detailed Introduction
Dr. Todd R. Vandermeer, DDS, operates a dental practice located at 1869 Porter St SW, Wyoming, MI 49519. He has been practicing dentistry in Wyoming, MI, since 1987, establishing a long-standing presence in the community. Dr. Vandermeer earned his doctorate of dental surgery degree with honors from the University of Michigan Dental School in 1987, after receiving his bachelor's degree Magna Cum Laude from Hope College, majoring in both chemistry and health science. His dedication to high academic achievement led to his induction into Omicron Kappa Upsilon, a national dental honor society.
The practice, often associated with De Young Dental Associates PLLC (or previously operating as Todd R. VanderMeer DDS PC), is committed to providing comprehensive dental care with a focus on patient education and preventive measures. They aim to deliver "dental health care" rather than just "disease care," emphasizing thorough exams, oral cancer screenings, and necessary X-rays, alongside routine cleanings, flossing, sealants, and fluoride treatments.
Services offered by the practice include general dentistry, restorative dentistry (such as fillings, crowns, and bridges), and cosmetic dentistry designed to enhance the natural beauty of smiles. The team prides itself on maintaining high standards of personalized care, using conservative, state-of-the-art procedures. They prioritize patient comfort, understanding that dental visits can be uneasy for some, and strive to create a relaxing and positive experience.
Infection control is a significant priority, with strict adherence to sterilization and cross-contamination prevention processes recommended by leading dental organizations like the American Dental Association (ADA), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the Center for Disease Control (CDC).
Dr. Vandermeer is a strong believer in continuing education, regularly attending dental lectures, meetings, and conventions to stay abreast of the latest advancements, techniques, products, and equipment in modern dentistry. He is a member of the American Dental Association, the Michigan Dental Association, and the West Michigan District Dental Society. Beyond his professional life, Dr. Vandermeer is an avid outdoorsman who enjoys running, bicycling, and hiking, and has volunteered coaching youth basketball.
