Dental Examination
A comprehensive dental exam will be performed by your dentist at your initial dental visit. At regular check-up exams, your dentist and hygienist will include additional checks for dental health.
X-rays
Dental x-rays are images that dentists use to evaluate your oral health. Most people are familiar with cavity-detecting x-rays, but many people do not realize that x-rays also give us a lot of information about the health of the bone supporting the teeth as well. X-rays are essential in the diagnosis of many oral conditions.
Oral Cancer Screening
Nearly 53,000 Americans are diagnosed with oral cancer each year. Only slightly more than half of them will be alive 5 years after diagnosis. The death rate is so high because it is often not discovered until late in its development. This is why early detection is so important! As dentists, we are not just looking for cavities when we do an oral exam. Each and every time we look in your mouth, we are doing an oral cancer screening. Read More

Teeth Cleaning
Professional dental cleanings (dental prophylaxis) are usually performed by Registered Dental Hygienists. Your cleaning appointment will include a dental exam and more.
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride is the most effective agent available to help prevent tooth decay. It is a mineral that is naturally present in varying amounts in almost all foods and water supplies. The benefits of fluoride have been well known for over 50 years and are supported by many health and professional organizations.
Dental Sealants
As a practice, we are true believers that preventative care and education are the keys to optimal dental health. We strive to provide “dental healthcare” vs. “disease care.” That is why we focus on thorough exams by checking the overall health of your teeth and gums, performing oral cancer exams, and taking x-rays when necessary. We also know that routine cleanings, flossing, sealants, and fluoride are all helpful in preventing dental disease.

Fillings
Veneers
Veneers are very thin pieces of durable, tooth-shaped porcelain that are custom made (for shape and color) by a professional dental laboratory. They are bonded onto the front of the teeth to create a beautiful and attractive smile.
Crowns
Tooth crowns & caps are coverings that encase the entire tooth surface restoring it to its original shape and size. Tooth crowns & caps protect and strengthen tooth structures that cannot be restored with fillings or other types of restorations.

Periodontal Surgery

Dentures
Dental implants are a great way to replace missing teeth and also provide a fixed solution to having removable partial or complete dentures. Implants provide excellent support and stability for these dental appliances.

Dental Implants
Dental implants are artificial roots and teeth (usually titanium) that are surgically placed into the upper or lower jaw bone by our own Dr. Katie Allen. The teeth attached to implants are very natural-looking and often enhance or restore a patient’s smile!

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Dr. Allen graduated from Midwestern University of Chicago Illinois in May of 2021 receiving honors for her excellent patient care as well as the outstanding student award from the American Academy of Periodontology. Since graduation, she has completed over 200 hours of continuing education; specifically focusing on oral surgery, implantology and cosmetic dentistry. Dr. Allen is currently making her way though the Kois curriculum and will be graduating from the program in June 2023. She has brought a vast number of other cosmetic procedures to our office including Botox and filler. Dr. Allen is also a part time faculty member at KVCC’s dental hygiene school.
Tooth Extractions

Orthodontics
Although patients of any age can benefit from orthodontic braces, they tend to work much quicker on pre-teens and teenagers since they are still experiencing jaw growth. The American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) recommends that children should first see an orthodontist around the age of seven years old. An orthodontic examination may be beneficial before age seven if facial or oral irregularities are noted. When we examine your child, we are looking at their growth and development so that we can make a proper recommendation in terms of whether orthodontics is needed.
Invisalign Orthodontics
Dr. Harris graduated from Alma College with a B.A. degree in Sociology in 2002. She attended the University of Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry and received her D.D.S. in 2009. She is a member of the Academy of General Dentistry, American and Michigan Dental Associations, and the Kalamazoo Valley District Dental Society. Dr. Harris is a certified Invisalign® and 6 Month Smiles® Provider. She has completed the Faculté for Orthodontic Research and Education program. Dr. Harris is a clinical assistant professor at the WMU Homer Stryker M.D. School of Medicine and on the Advisory Board at KVCC Dental Hygiene program. Dr. Harris has recently become a Diplomate of the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine.
Braces
Orthodontic braces were historically associated with teenagers. Today, an increasing number of adults are choosing to wear braces to straighten their teeth and correct malocclusions (bad bites). In fact, it is now estimated that almost one-third of all current orthodontic patients are adults.

Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening (or bleaching) is a simple, non-invasive dental treatment used to change the color of natural tooth enamel and is an ideal way to enhance the beauty of your smile.
Cosmetic Dentistry
A standard of excellence in personalized dental care enables us to provide the quality dental services our patients deserve. We provide comprehensive treatment planning and use restorative and cosmetic dentistry to achieve optimal dental health. Should a dental emergency occur, we make every effort to see and care for you as soon as possible.
