Featured Services
Routine Dental Care
Our emphasis on comprehensive routine dental care helps to ensure your child’s smile stays bright and healthy. Regular check-ups and preventive treatment for your little one will help maintain the health of your child’s teeth and cultivate healthy oral habits from the very start, saving you time and money in the long run.
Orthodontics
Your child deserves to smile with confidence. Dr. Katie, our in-house orthodontist, will evaluate your child and provide a personalized plan. If active treatment is not yet recommended, she’ll suggest a follow up visit at the right time. Rest easy knowing we're dedicated to ensuring your child's journey to a healthier, brighter smile is both seamless and fun.
Sedation
Ensuring a stress-free experience, our sedation services are designed to provide comfort and relaxation during dental procedures. We offer a continuum of sedation options so that we can ensure your child’s care is tailored to their needs. Our providers have significant training and experience in moderate oral sedation as well as treatment under general anesthesia paired with a dental specific anesthesiologist. All of our providers are credentialed with Corewell Health and have surgical privileges at the Helen DeVos Children's Hospital.
Infant Frenectomies
Welcoming a new member into your family is a joyous occasion and we want to ensure their healthy and happiness, right from the start. That's why we specialize in infant frenectomies, a gentle and effective procedure to address tongue and lip ties in newborns. With our compassionate team of experts and a focus on personalized care, we're here to support you and your little one every step of the way.
Meet Your Doctors
At Mitten Kids, little ones are encouraged to express their imagination, be themselves, and reach for the stars. Beyond teeth, we're building a community where families thrive in holistic well-being as they navigate life's adventures.
