Family Dentist Serving Utica, MI
Family Dental Care Near Utica
Something feels different when you bite. A front tooth has a chip. Or it’s simply time to find a dentist your family can keep coming back to. We welcome Utica patients at Summit Family Dental in Shelby Township, with care that starts with the concern you actually have.
You don’t need to diagnose the problem before calling. Describe what you’ve noticed, and we’ll help you arrange an appropriate visit and understand the options after an examination.

Dental Care for Utica Patients
Family Checkups
Routine visits are a chance to keep track of changes, not just clean teeth. We provide family dental care for children and adults, with recommendations that reflect each person's history and current needs.
Fillings & Tooth Repair
A rough edge or a tooth that feels different deserves a closer look. We offer fillings and restorative care, explaining the findings before recommending whether repair or another approach is appropriate.
Crowns & Root Canal Care
When a tooth needs more than a filling, the next step depends on the damage and diagnosis. We offer crowns and root canal treatment and explain the purpose of the recommended care.
Bonding & Cosmetic Changes
A small front-tooth concern doesn't automatically call for veneers. We offer bonding and other cosmetic options, with a discussion of the tooth's health, appearance and the change you want to make.
Mouthguards
Tell us about an existing guard, grinding concerns or sports participation. Our mouthguard services help you explore appropriate protection, with attention to fit rather than assuming one appliance suits every situation.
Dental Emergencies
New pain, a break or another urgent change shouldn't be saved for your next cleaning. Contact our team to discuss symptoms and available appointments before leaving Utica for the office.
When your concern involves how teeth line up rather than a single chipped edge, Invisalign may be worth discussing. We evaluate the alignment and bite before recommending clear aligners. Your consultation can help separate tooth-position concerns from repairs or cosmetic changes, then put the options in a sensible order. Ask about the proposed treatment, follow-up care and costs before choosing how to proceed.
Planning Your Dental Visit From Utica
Coming from downtown Utica around Auburn Road? Your appointment is at our Shelby Township office, 8136 21 Mile Road, MI 48317, rather than a downtown Utica location. Use the full address when checking directions.
Our Monday-through-Thursday hours run from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. When booking for a tooth problem, describe the symptoms as well as your preferred time so we can discuss the appropriate appointment.
Utica Dental Visit FAQs
What should I mention if a tooth feels different after recent dental work?
Tell us what was done, when the change started and whether you notice it while biting, eating or resting. The dentist needs an examination to determine the cause; the timeline helps guide the discussion.
Can a small chip be evaluated before I choose bonding or veneers?
Yes. Start with the concern, not a commitment to a cosmetic procedure. We can check the tooth and explain suitable repair options after evaluating it.
Should I bring my existing nightguard if my bite feels different?
Mention the appliance when scheduling and bring it to discuss with the dentist. Don’t assume it should be replaced or altered before the tooth, bite and fit have been evaluated.

I have never loved going to the dentist until I started going here. They have the best hard working team that is super friendly, amazing, and caring. I highly recommend going to Dr. Lauren DiBartolomeo. She is the best dentist I have ever had. She does amazing work every time. Her team that she works with always has a friendly, funny, and happy attitude.

Best experience I’ve ever had at a dentist office! Carolyn was my hygienist and she was super nice, friendly and helpful. Dr Lauren was the best and answered all of my questions and concerns! The office was clean and very nice on the inside. “I can’t believe I would’ve ever said in my life I can’t wait to come back to the dentist!”
