Dental products promote oral health

Just as we at Van Haren Family Dentistry recommend dental procedures based on the best judgement of the  doctor and staff, we recommend professional take-home dental products (pastes, gels, rinses, brushes) based on our best judgment.  As a service to our patients, we price all dental take-home products at our cost.  Sometimes we recommend a product that is hard to find in a store or that requires a prescription.  We can give you the convenience of walking out of our Grand Rapids Michigan dentist office with product in hand at a lower price than in the store.

Practice Updates for Van Haren Family Dentistry in Grand Rapids

As Van Haren Family Dentistry has transitioned from Dr. Ellens to Dr. Van Haren over the last two years, one thing has remained unchanged- a commitment to building relationships with patients. Many other aspects of the practice, though, have been changed or updated.

We gave the office a physical makeover including new carpet, paint, lighting, furniture, and artwork. We also began offering no or low interest treatment financing plans.

On the clinical side, we introduced composite (“white”) fillings, which are free of Mercury and have many benefits over amalgam fillings. Behind the scenes, we have refined procedures to enhance clinical quality, ensure patient safety, and reduce the time you spend in the dental chair.

On a sad note, we will miss Mary Kurz, who retired in March. We wish Mary and her husband Tim a happy retirement. We welcome Allison Kress as our patient coordinator.
