Keep your family's smiles healthy with personalized dental care, clear treatment plans, and options that fit your budget.
From routine checkups and cleanings to unexpected tooth pain and restorative treatment, your family needs dental care you can turn to as your needs change.
At 97 Smiles Ann Arbor, we’ll assess your oral health, explain our recommendations, and help you understand your options before treatment begins. Whether you’re scheduling a routine visit or addressing a dental concern, we’ll help you work out the next step.
Every family member has different dental needs. Children need preventive care as their teeth develop, adults may need fillings or other restorative treatment, and older family members may need help maintaining or replacing teeth.
At 97 Smiles Ann Arbor, you can access a range of dental services in one location.
Regular dental visits help your dentist monitor your oral health, identify potential problems, and remove plaque and tartar that brushing alone may not eliminate. A routine visit may include a dental examination, professional cleaning, and X-rays when needed. Your dentist can also discuss brushing, flossing, and other steps that may help prevent future problems.
Helping children develop healthy dental habits early can support their oral health as they grow. Regular visits also give your dentist an opportunity to monitor tooth development and identify concerns that may need attention. You can help your child prepare for visits by explaining what to expect, encouraging daily brushing, and making dental care part of their regular routine. Contact our team to ask about dental services for your child’s age and needs.
Cavities, cracks, and damaged teeth can affect how comfortably you eat and chew. Restorative treatment aims to repair affected teeth and help preserve their function. Depending on your needs, treatment may include tooth-colored fillings, dental crowns, bridges, or root canal therapy. Your dentist will explain the recommended treatment and why it may be appropriate for your tooth.
Dental problems don’t always wait for your next scheduled checkup. A severe toothache, broken tooth, swelling, or damaged filling may need prompt attention. If someone in your family develops a dental problem, call our Ann Arbor office to discuss the symptoms and available appointments. Same-day care may be available depending on the concern and schedule. If you have facial swelling that affects breathing or swallowing, seek emergency medical care immediately.
Sometimes, you may want to improve the appearance of your smile as well as maintain your oral health. Depending on your goals and dental condition, cosmetic options may include professional teeth whitening, composite bonding, or veneers. Your dentist can discuss the options, expected results, and costs to help you decide whether treatment makes sense for you.
Children, teens, and adults may benefit from an orthodontic evaluation if they have crowded teeth, gaps, or bite problems. Depending on your needs, orthodontic options may include traditional braces or clear aligners. Not every treatment is suitable for every patient, so an evaluation is the best way to understand your options.
If you’re visiting a new dentist, you should know what the appointment involves and what happens next.
Tell us about any pain, sensitivity, dental history, or other concerns. If you’re booking for a child, share any questions you have about their dental development or daily care.
Your dentist will assess your teeth and gums. X-rays may be recommended when needed to evaluate areas that aren’t visible during a regular examination.
We’ll explain the findings and discuss any treatment that may be needed. If everything looks healthy, we’ll help you understand how to maintain it and when to return.
If treatment is recommended, we’ll explain the available options, expected costs, and suggested timing. If several issues need attention, ask which ones should be addressed first and which may be planned for later.
Dental care is easier to plan when you understand your benefits and expected costs. Our team can help you review your insurance and discuss payment options before treatment begins.
97 Smiles works with Medicaid, CHIP, and many major dental insurance providers. Depending on the plan, these may include Aetna, Delta Dental, Cigna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Humana, UnitedHealthcare, DentaQuest, Envolve, and MetLife.
Coverage varies by insurer, plan, and treatment. Some services may have waiting periods, age restrictions, deductibles, or other limitations.
Our team can help check your benefits, explain how they may apply, and clarify your expected out-of-pocket costs. We’ll also help you understand any paperwork or additional steps required by your plan.
Confirm your specific coverage before starting treatment, particularly if you’re using Medicaid or CHIP for a service with special eligibility requirements.
If you don’t have dental insurance or your plan doesn’t cover the full cost, ask about the payment options available at our Ann Arbor office.
Depending on the treatment and eligibility, financing or other payment arrangements may help spread the cost over time. Ask about the terms, approval requirements, and any fees before choosing a plan.
If you don’t have insurance, ask about the 97 Smiles Membership Plan. Membership options are designed to help make routine dental care more accessible without relying on traditional dental insurance.
Our membership information lists plans starting at $97 per year. Ask our team to confirm the current price, included services, exclusions, and whether the plan suits your family’s needs.
Choosing a family dentist means finding a practice that can help you make informed decisions about your oral health over time. You want to understand what’s happening, what treatment is recommended, and what it will cost.
At 97 Smiles, we focus on making those decisions clearer.
From preventive care to restorative and cosmetic treatments, our range of services can help your family address different dental needs through one practice. If a concern requires care beyond the services available at our office, we’ll explain the next steps.
You should understand why a treatment is being recommended and what your alternatives may be. We’ll explain our findings, discuss the options, and help you understand which issues need attention first.
Dental expenses can be difficult to plan when you don’t know what’s coming. We aim to explain recommended treatment costs and applicable payment options before you decide how to proceed.
If you have dental coverage, our team can help you understand how your benefits may apply. We’ll work with you to clarify coverage and expected costs rather than leaving you to figure everything out on your own.
Your family’s dental needs will change over time. Whether you’re maintaining healthy teeth, addressing a new concern, or considering restorative treatment, we’ll help you understand the appropriate next step.
Our office is located on Packard Street in Ann Arbor, making it a convenient option for local residents and families in nearby communities.

A family dentist provides general dental care for patients at different stages of life. Services may include routine examinations, cleanings, preventive treatments, fillings, crowns, and other general dental procedures. The services available for each patient depend on their needs and the practice’s scope of care.
Many patients benefit from dental checkups every six months, but the right schedule depends on their oral health and risk of dental problems. Your dentist may recommend more frequent visits if you have gum disease, a higher risk of cavities, or other concerns.
Children should generally have their first dental visit by their first birthday or within six months after their first tooth appears. Early visits help parents learn how to care for developing teeth and allow the dentist to monitor oral health.
A family dental practice may provide care for children, teens, adults, and older adults. However, some treatments require a specialist or a provider with specific training. Contact our office to confirm that we can accommodate each family member’s needs.
97 Smiles works with Medicaid, CHIP, and many major dental insurance providers. Coverage depends on your plan and the treatment you need. Contact our team to check your benefits before your appointment or before beginning treatment.
You can ask about available payment arrangements and the 97 Smiles Membership Plan. Membership is different from insurance, so review its included services, limitations, and current price before enrolling.
Call our office if your child has a toothache, a broken tooth, or another urgent dental concern. We’ll discuss the symptoms and available appointments. If your child has difficulty breathing or swallowing due to swelling, seek emergency medical care immediately.
Start by scheduling a dental examination. Your dentist can assess the concern, explain the findings, and recommend the next steps. You don’t need to identify the treatment yourself before making an appointment.
From preventive visits to treatment for a dental problem, having a place to turn can make it easier to stay on top of your family’s oral health.
At 97 Smiles Ann Arbor, we’ll help you understand your dental needs, review your options, and plan your next steps with clear information about treatment and costs.
