Smile Dental Partners is West Michigan’s only multi-specialty dental practice. There are four Smile locations and each one offers three specialties, Adult & Teen Dentistry, Pediatric Dentistry, and Orthodontics.
We spoke with Orthodontist Dr. Felipe Porto about the advantage of combining family dentistry and orthodontics. He also answered our questions about metal vs. clear braces, and whether adults can still straighten their teeth.
The four Smile Dental Partners locations are in Cascade, Grand Haven, North Muskegon, and Holland. To learn more about them or make an appointment visit www.SmileDentalPartners.com.
January 27, 2021 Imagen Dental Partners has launched as a dental partnership organization (DPO) focused on technology-oriented dental practices.
Imagen said that it allows full clinical autonomy for dentists, while emphasizing technology and mastery of advanced clinical skills and encouraging dentists to practice at the highest possible standards. All practices must utilize CAD/CAM technologies and cone-beam computed tomography (CT) or be willing to do so upon joining the partnership, according to Imagen.
Practices that join get paid for the dentistry they produce, as well as for the profitability of their practice and Imagen as a whole. In addition, Imagen said it provides educational and mentoring opportunities by Spear Education and CDOCS, as well as growth playbooks to help practices reach their growth potential. What s more, partner practices can access Imagen s business support services.
