The Healthy Smile difference

A dental home for your family

No judgment, whether it’s been six months or six years. Here’s how we make visits easier.

Comfort options

We offer hot pillows and movies for a stress-free dental experience tailored just for you.

Sedation

We offer nitrous oxide for patients with dental anxiety or more complex care needs.

Care for patients with disabilities

Currently Dr. Ona sees disabled patients that she has adopted into our dental family over the years. If you or a family member are looking for an office for the care you need, please give us a call.

Language barrier

We are committed to providing a welcoming, inclusive environment for every patient. Translation services are available upon request, so please notify us before any appointment to ensure clear communication and comfortable care.

Community care

Our diverse team comes from a variety of cultural and language backgrounds, allowing us to better understand and support patients from different communities. We are proud to create friendly, respectful, and family-oriented dental experiences where everyone feels valued and welcome.

Do you take my insurance?

We’re a participating provider with Delta Dental Premier, Blue Cross Blue Shield, MetLife and Aetna, and we accept almost all other plans. We submit the paperwork for you. Insurance and payment details.

I’m nervous about the dentist. Is that okay?

Completely. Many of our patients felt the same way at first. Tell us your concerns when you book and we’ll plan around it, with comfort options that include hot pillows, movies, or laughing gas.

Will I get a cleaning at my first visit?

It depends on what you need. When you book, tell us whether you’d like a cleaning, an exam for a specific concern, or both, and we’ll set aside the right amount of time.

Do you offer payment plans?

We do not offer in-office payment plans, but accept payment options available through CareCredit or HFD (subject to credit approval and the terms of the plan). Ask our team for the current details.

Do you see children?

Yes, from their first tooth. We recommend a first visit by age one, and there’s a play area in the waiting room. More about family care.

What Grand Rapids says about us!

  • Doctor Ona is incredible. She might honestly be in my top 3 favorite Healthcare professionals ever. Her patience, her tact, her skill, and her knowledge are all top notch. I had some odd my wisdom teeth extracted yesterday, and it was quick, painless, and recovery today so far has been a breeze. Thank you Dr Ona and team!!
  • Dr. Ona and Kim did such an amazing job with completing implant process with crowns. Teeth look so incredible! In-office teeth whitening just brought everything to a new level!
