A little bit about My Community Dental Centers...

Compassion, community, culture, career...at My Community Dental Centers (MCDC), our focus is to provide you with these critical building blocks to help you succeed as a dentist. 

Compassion: During COVID-19, we rebuilt what it meant to be an employer. We put safety first and armed our providers and patients with the tools they needed to feel comfortable in the office. We pride ourselves on our patient-centered atmosphere where every patient...no matter what their knowledge of dentistry is, can come into our beautiful, state-of-the-art operatories and have a warm, comforting and quality dental experience.  

Community: MCDC is a non-profit organization with 34 centers around the state of Michigan. We are focused on Michigan residents who may not have access to great dental care...or any at all.

We offer a sliding scale fee program and pride ourselves on our work within the Veteran community by offering a Free Dental Care Day to Veterans each November.
