Holland General Dentist
Comprehensive Care, Tailored to You
Your health is important. It starts with early care and continues with proactive general dental treatments all through life. We take this very seriously. That is why all of our Holland general dentistry services are both preventive and comprehensive.
Because we believe your body is best in its natural state, we practice early detection to find problems as early as possible so we can stop them or treat them with the least interference. We focus on maintaining normal function and fitness, and if we do discover a problem, we use conservative techniques to restore your teeth to their ideal, natural state.
We treat your gum health proactively too. Why? Periodontal disease has proven links to systemic disorders such as heart disease, cancer, and strokes. The regular check-ups and cleanings of general dentistry can keep smiles of every age strong, healthy, and glowing – for life!

Caring for Your Smile Today, Safeguarding Your Health Tomorrow.

Teeth Grinding (Bruxism)
Bruxism, the unconscious clenching or grinding of teeth, can lead to cracked teeth, enamel wear, TMJ pain, and headaches. At Huisman Family Dentistry, we provide personalized treatments for teeth grinding, including custom-made bruxism guards. These guards protect your teeth from damage, relieve jaw pain, and reduce headaches caused by grinding.
Bruxism guards are comfortable, durable, and tailored to fit your bite for maximum effectiveness. Don’t let bruxism impact your smile or quality of life—call us to schedule your consultation and discover how we can help you prevent damage and improve your comfort.
Children's Dentistry
At Huisman Family Dentistry, we specialize in Holland children’s dentistry, offering preventive and protective care for your child’s oral health. From the innovative Cari-Free System, which detects and prevents cavities before they start, to custom-fitted sports mouth guards that protect teeth during physical activities, we focus on preserving the natural beauty and strength of your child’s smile.
Our compassionate approach ensures every visit is comfortable and stress-free, fostering lifelong dental health. Call us to schedule your child’s appointment and give them the gift of a confident, healthy smile for years to come.
Dental Exams
At Huisman Family Dentistry, Holland dental exams combine preventive care with advanced technology to maintain your smile’s health and beauty. Regular exams allow us to detect issues like tooth decay and gum disease early, making treatments more comfortable, conservative, and effective.
Our tools, including DIAGNOdent®, digital x-rays, and the Cari-Free System, ensure precise diagnoses and minimally invasive care. We also prioritize annual oral cancer screenings to protect your overall health. Schedule your exam today and experience the benefits of proactive dental care tailored to preserve your natural teeth and enhance your well-being for life.
Emergency Dental Care
At Huisman Family Dentistry, we provide fast, compassionate Holland MI emergency dental care to address urgent issues like toothaches, broken teeth, or knocked-out teeth. During office hours, we prioritize emergency appointments for our patients of record, and Dr. Huisman is available by cell phone for after-hours emergencies. That doesn’t mean someone new to the practice is not a priority. If you have not been seen by Dr. Huisman before and experience a dental emergency, give us a call and we will schedule will with the next available appointment.
Until your visit, you can manage discomfort by rinsing with warm water, flossing gently, and following safe practices like avoiding aspirin directly on the gums. Our personalized care ensures effective treatment to restore your oral health and peace of mind. Call us for emergency dental care you can trust, day or night.
Fluoride Treatment
At Huisman Family Dentistry, Holland fluoride treatment strengthens tooth enamel and prevents decay for children and adults alike. Fluoride helps teeth resist acid attacks from plaque bacteria and sugars while reversing early decay. For children under six, fluoride aids in the development of strong permanent teeth. Adults benefit too, with fluoride stopping newly formed cavities and reducing root decay.
Regular fluoride treatments are an effective way to maintain healthy, strong teeth at any age. Call us to schedule your fluoride treatment and protect your smile for years to come.
Gum Disease Treatment
At Huisman Family Dentistry, we offer advanced Holland MI gum disease treatment to restore oral health and support overall well-being. Gum disease is a leading cause of tooth loss and is linked to serious health issues, including heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. Using techniques like laser therapy, scaling, and custom antibiotics, we treat gum disease effectively and comfortably.
Early detection through Oral DNA Screening allows us to create personalized care plans. Maintaining good oral hygiene is vital for long-term gum health. Contact us to schedule your consultation and protect your gums, teeth, and overall health.
Hygiene & Dental Cleaning
At Huisman Family Dentistry, Holland dental hygiene services protect your smile and overall health. Regular dental cleanings and good oral hygiene help prevent cavities, gum disease, and systemic health issues like heart disease and strokes. Cleanings allow us to monitor your oral health, detect issues early, and provide personalized care tailored to your needs.
Dr. Huisman emphasizes preventive care and proactive hygiene practices, including brushing, flossing, and regular check-ups, to maintain a strong, healthy smile. Call us to schedule your cleaning and enjoy the benefits of a healthier mouth and improved well-being.
Laser Dentistry
At Huisman Family Dentistry, Holland MI laser dentistry offers a safe, effective way to treat cold sores, canker sores, gum disease, and more. Using focused light energy, lasers vaporize soft tissue with precision, promoting healing as they work. Benefits include minimal bleeding, no need for stitches, faster recovery, and virtually pain-free procedures.
Our certified team ensures expert care, targeting only affected areas without impacting surrounding tissues. Experience the comfort and efficiency of laser dentistry. Call us to schedule a consultation and discover how this leading technology can improve your oral health.
Root Canal Treatment
At Huisman Family Dentistry, Holland MI root canal treatment preserves your natural tooth and eliminates pain caused by decay, injury, or infection. Symptoms like persistent sensitivity, discoloration, severe toothache, or gum swelling signal the need for prompt care.
Using advanced techniques, we remove the infected pulp, clean and seal the tooth, and restore its strength with minimal discomfort—often in a single visit. Root canals prevent extractions, protect surrounding teeth, and restore oral health. Call us to schedule your consultation and experience stress-free, effective treatment to save your tooth and your smile.
Sedation Dentistry
At Huisman Family Dentistry, Holland MI dental sedation offers a stress-free solution for patients who feel anxious or uncomfortable during dental treatments. Using nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, we help you relax and feel calm, making your visit as comfortable as possible.
Sedation is ideal for those with dental anxiety, sensitive teeth, strong gag reflexes, or complex treatment needs. The effects are fast-acting and wear off quickly, allowing you to drive home afterward. Call us to schedule your appointment and experience safe, relaxed, and worry-free dental care.
Sleep Apnea Treatment
At Huisman Family Dentistry, we provide effective Holland MI sleep apnea treatment to address snoring, fatigue, and the health risks of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). OSA occurs when the airway is blocked during sleep, causing breathing interruptions that increase the risk of heart problems, strokes, diabetes, and accidents.
As an alternative to CPAP machines, we offer the Thornton Adjustable Positioner® (TAP®), a custom oral appliance that keeps the airway open and reduces snoring. Patients experience better sleep, improved energy, and enhanced health. Call us to schedule your consultation and start breathing easier and sleeping better today.

Frequently Asked Questions
This is such an important question. The trouble is the only way to get a good answer is by talking with the dentist who found the problem in the first place.
Teeth can show up with lots of different ‘problems.’ And the severity of the problem doesn’t correlate with the amount of pain it creates. I’ve met patients with severe temperature sensitivity from small cavities. I’ve also met patients with molars that cracked in half but didn’t hurt.
Knowing that your tooth isn’t bothering you is a helpful piece of information but it’s not nearly enough to say how much urgency there is to addressing the problem. Sometimes a small concern can wait for months without much change in the underlying situation. Sometimes a big concern has a window of weeks or even days to be addressed until it progresses enough to make treatment more complicated and expensive than it was planned to be.
If you’re my patient and you have this question, I apologize that we didn’t address this together in the office. Please give us a call so you can get the information you need to feel confident in the choice you make for yourself!
Yes, we are happy to see you even if you feel like a nervous wreck. You’re not alone. There are a LOT of people who sit down in a dental chair and immediately get hijacked by their brains into scary events from their childhoods – and it feels very real if and when that happens to you. Now, your stuff is your stuff. Dr. Jeff is a great dentist, but he’s not a licensed counselor. He’s happy to make space for you to share your anxiety so that you can work with him to decide what’s necessary to make your treatment as comfortable as possible for yourself. He can also discuss with you whether anti-anxiety medications would be appropriate for you at treatment appointments.
People often wonder how often they’re supposed to have dental fillings or crowns replaced. The good news is that teeth aren’t like tires – there’s no preset trigger for having to replace your dental work! Fillings are crowns which have the potential to last for many years – even many decades – under the right circumstances.
The lifespan of your dental work will be influenced by three main factors:
- The quality of the work itself as performed by a dentist (and the dental lab artist in the case of porcelain restorations). Spoiler alert: Dr. Jeff is a perfectionist and demands precision of himself and his artists.
- Things that happen in your mouth that are under your control. Plaque that isn’t promptly removed can lead to decay at the edges of restorations. Acidic beverages can attack the seams between dental work and natural teeth. Biting your fingernails can lead to chipping of fillings or crowns.
- Things that happen in your mouth that you can’t really control. Nighttime clenching or grinding can wear down fillings and crowns. Gastric reflux is more acid than any beverage you’d ever purchase and consume. You can mitigate these risk factors, for instance with a bite appliance or reflux medications, but you can’t really control them as fully as you can your home care practices or your diet.
Bruxism is the unconscious clenching or grinding of teeth, often during sleep or periods of stress. It can cause tooth damage, jaw pain, headaches, and TMJ disorders. At Huisman Family Dentistry, we treat bruxism with custom-made bruxism guards that protect teeth and relieve discomfort. These guards are tailored to your bite for optimal comfort and effectiveness.
Call us to learn more about managing teeth grinding and preventing further damage.
Fluoride treatments strengthen tooth enamel, making teeth more resistant to decay and reversing early signs of damage. For children, fluoride supports the development of strong permanent teeth, while adults benefit from reduced cavity progression and protection against root decay.
At Huisman Family Dentistry, we recommend fluoride treatments during routine checkups to enhance oral health for all ages. Schedule your Holland fluoride treatment today to safeguard your smile.
Gum disease symptoms include bleeding gums, puffiness, bad breath, and loose teeth. Left untreated, it can lead to tooth loss and health problems like heart disease and diabetes.
At Huisman Family Dentistry, we offer advanced Holland gum disease treatment, including laser therapy, scaling, custom antibiotics, and home care guidance. These treatments eliminate infection and restore gum health. Call us to schedule a consultation for proactive periodontal care.
Dental cleanings prevent plaque buildup, detect early signs of decay or gum disease, and support whole-body health. Conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and strokes are linked to oral health, making preventive care essential.
At Huisman Family Dentistry, we personalize your Holland dental hygiene routine to ensure optimal care. Regular cleanings keep your smile healthy and protect against systemic health issues. Schedule your cleaning today for a healthier mouth and body.
Laser dentistry uses focused light energy to treat gum disease, cold sores, and other soft tissue concerns with precision and minimal discomfort. The technology promotes faster healing, reduces bleeding, and eliminates the need for stitches.
At Huisman Family Dentistry, our certified team offers safe, effective Holland laser dentistry to enhance your oral health with advanced care. Call us to learn more about the benefits of laser treatments.
Root canal treatment saves teeth affected by severe decay, injury, or infection, preventing extraction. Symptoms include sensitivity, discoloration, severe toothache, and gum swelling.
At Huisman Family Dentistry, we provide comfortable Holland MI root canal treatment using advanced techniques. The procedure removes infected pulp, cleans the tooth, and restores its strength, often in just one visit. Call us for pain relief and tooth preservation.
Untreated Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) can cause daytime fatigue, heart problems, strokes, diabetes, and accidents due to interrupted breathing during sleep.
At Huisman Family Dentistry, we offer Holland MI sleep apnea treatment with custom oral appliances like the TAP® to keep airways open and reduce snoring. This comfortable alternative to CPAP helps patients sleep better and feel healthier. Call us to discuss your sleep apnea symptoms and treatment options.
