Mid Michigan Smiles- A Dental Experience

12/11/2025

In our world, a smile isn’t “done.”

It’s composed.

Layered together- balance, harmony, precision, detail.

This transformation, in her words, “brought me back to life in a way I couldn’t imagine.” It is the product of artistry and craftsmanship by you can see and feel.

The calibration of proportion.
The warmth of natural color.
The tension between structure and softness.

Respect for the materials, obsession with technique, unwavering commitment to the patient experience.

We’ve always had a treasure chest for a kid, or adult, to grab a toy or treat as they leave the office. Maybe a slappy hand, bouncy ball or even a pair of sunglasses. But today that treasure chest got an upgrade!

What should we put in first????

We finished up this smile transformation this morning with 10 no preparation porcelain veneers! We were able to:

👉 improve the symmetry
👉 enhance the volume
👉 rejuvenate the color

What a transformation!

A really wonderful transformation here for this patient. With a predictable system, we were able to improve the bite, the function, comfort and esthetics.

She was referred to our office by another dentist (thank you!) because the patient was struggling with broken teeth and a collapsed bite. We planned and planned, and were able to help guide this patient toward a nice restorative result.

EVERY SMILE hat YOU purchased has helped transform this young man who was born without 12 adult teeth. Sometimes it takes a community, so we’d like to say thank you to everyone who purchased a hat or donated. We’d also like to thank Central Michigan Orthodontics and Dr Peter Holden- who donated their services for the orthodontics and all the dental implants. Please visit www.shareasmilehat.com.

Thank you Epicenter Mt. Pleasant for your wonderful writing, and telling the story of how the team at Mid Michigan Smiles is giving back.

Dr. Ray Ribitch of Mid Michigan Smiles launched the “Share a SMILE!” hat initiative to fund free dental care for patients who can’t afford treatment.

A little teamwork with Central Michigan Orthodontics to fix an urgency this morning!

Dr. Riley popped the bracket off, which sat right above the broken tooth. We layered 4 different colors of composite to mimic the different layers of the tooth structure. It's a little bright right now- which is from being open and dehydrating the tooth. In about 48 hours it should blend right in!

Back to Dr. Riley to put the bracket and wire back on!

💫 "I didn't like my smile." 💫

Our patient shared with us what she didn't like about her smile- and that's where the transformation really begins- understanding where change can happen in the eyes of the patient.

Whether it's uneven edges, small spaces, color or lack of symmetry- you don't have to settle. And, your smile can be enhanced without drilling, numbing or grinding.
