Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent tooth replacement solutions that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. Our start-to-finish implant process includes precise placement using cone beam CT technology, osseointegration monitoring, and custom restoration fabrication. Patients benefit from improved chewing ability, facial structure preservation, and long-term durability with success rates exceeding 98% over three decades.
Children's Dentistry
Our child-friendly dental services create positive early experiences that establish lifelong oral health habits. We offer preventive treatments like dental sealants, fluoride applications, and athletic mouthguards, along with gentle restorative care. The practice's welcoming environment helps anxious children feel comfortable, with age-appropriate explanations and demonstrations that reduce dental fears through positive reinforcement and education.
CEREC Crowns
CEREC all-ceramic crowns provide durable, natural-looking restorations completed in a single appointment. Using CAD/CAM technology, we design and mill custom crowns from solid ceramic blocks while patients wait. This eliminates temporary crowns and multiple visits, while maintaining precise fit through digital impressions. The biocompatible materials match natural tooth translucency and withstand chewing forces effectively.
Gum Disease Treatment
Customized gum disease therapy addresses periodontal infections through scaling and root planing combined with localized antibiotic delivery. Our non-surgical approach removes bacterial buildup while preserving tissue health, with follow-up monitoring to prevent progression. Early intervention helps maintain systemic health connections between oral inflammation and conditions like cardiovascular disease.
Athletic Mouthguards
Custom-fitted athletic mouthguards protect smiles during sports activities by absorbing impact forces that could cause tooth fractures or jaw injuries. Professionally fabricated guards offer better protection than boil-and-bite versions through precise dental modeling. The durable materials maintain comfort while allowing proper breathing and speech, with specialized designs for different sports requirements.

I actually look forward to my dental appointments! I know I will get the best dental care possible by competent professionals who are also very friendly. Grand Rapids Dental Care is simply the best. Great experience again! When was the last time you said that after your dental appointment? On time, professional, competent, patient-focused, what more can I say? They even juggled my appointment time so it worked better for me. Outstanding dental care provider!

Having recently moved to the area, had to find a new dentist. Dr. Rachael was great. Took the time to get to know me and in return she shared some of her life with me. Felt very welcome. Pricing is reasonable if one doesn't have insurance. Would highly recommend Grand Rapuds Dental.

This was my 1st visit to GR Dental. I had Dr. Rachel for my dentist. She took the time with me to discuss my concerns, and followed through with what I had requested. She was very gentle, and kept me informed of all she was doing. Dr. Rachel also showed me the visual on a screen on the ceiling. I would highly recommend Dr. Rachel. She made my experience comfortable, and explained every procedure before she performed them. I felt very comfortable there.

"I love my new tooth". I didn't know what the issue was. Dr. Buchert checked it out and found a hole and then filled it. Awesome service. Thank you so much. I was so grateful I helped him move a huge cabinet (kinda huge).
