GRAND HAVEN DENTAL PRACTICE

"Our Practice Philosophy is to provide the best care to our patients and always to treat them with respect and concern for their well-being."

Our Practice History

Our practice is located in the historic Pere Marquette Train Station. It was built in 1927 after the original 1870 station burned. The last train to serve our station left in 1971. It was abandoned for 27 years, and was only saved from the wrecking ball by a neighbor who refused to let the railroad knock it down. We purchased the building, and restored it as closely to the original as we could, right down to the font on the signs..

Inside the office you will note the décor of the 1920’s, but the technology of today. We are committed to staying current in both training and technology, but one thing that sets our office apart is our staff. You will not find a more caring, capable group of people anywhere.

Drs. Mountford, Ruszkowski, & Andaloro

Our Grand Haven dental practice philosophy is to provide the best care to our patients and to always treat them with respect and concern for their well-being. We utilize the latest technology and techniques to provide the most comfortable and relaxing dental experience possible for you and your family.

  • Root Canal Treatment

    Every tooth has two sections: a crown, the visible part of the tooth above the gum line, and one or more roots, which anchor the teeth within the jaw.

Left untreated, this decay can spread to the interior of the tooth, and might lead to the need for a crown, a root canal, or even extraction. When caught early, your dentist can ...
