More reviewsJill T.22:05 05 Dec 22All 4 of my boys go to Dr. Lints. My oldest recently finished his Invisalign and his smile looks fantastic! My other 3 are looking amazing and since they expanded their palate early on will likely will not need Invisalign or braces since they made room for their adult teeth to come in straight. Staff is always friendly and appointments are almost always right on time. Always happy with our experience at Dr. Lints!tc dockters16:03 05 Dec 22This team is professional, caring, detailed. Dr. Lints has helped us with adult braces, youth dental appliances, retainers, and soon to be, braces. His team is always gentle and positive with our children – and us! Thank you.Kari de Boer14:22 15 Nov 22Dr. Lints (Sr) is so kind and genuine and really great with the kids. I was hopeful his son inherited that amazing personality. Being new to the practice, I hope he’s open to emulating his fathers warmth and working on his communication skills with younger kids. Wait times are my only issue that absolutely needs to change. 10-15 minutes to get to a chair 40-50 minutes sitting in the chair after the tech does her part to then see the doctor for 1-2 minutes. The staff is wonderful and I have so much respect for them as they line up patiently waiting to get the doctors attention. Efficiency and time management will make such a difference here.Kimberly Ullom14:07 11 Nov 22Very professional staff. Both Dr. Lints and Dr. Joel Lints are phenomenal. They do a great job at explaining things that my girls can completely understand.Katie Komisarz14:25 18 Jul 22We love Dr. lints and his staff. They are always so friendly and caring. Dr. Lints takes his time to make sure you understand everything. We highly recommend him!Dan Rohe12:21 14 Jul 22LOVE Dr. Lints and the whole staff. Everyone is VERY friendly and caring. The best with my kids too…Amber Rousseau13:47 28 Feb 22Each staff member's compassion and love during each visit goes beyond what I find in other local establishments on the first visit. Dr. Lints goes above & beyond, making sure My and my daughter's smiles are perfect; while thoroughly explaining procedures and outcomes. The payment plans offered are affordable and for lifelong ortho care. I recommend Dr. Lints and staff any day! Do yourself a favor and have a FREE consultation.Katherine McCulley19:36 24 Feb 22Dr. Lints and his staff have been great with our kids so far! Hannah and Brooke have been so patient with my sensory-sensitive child - helping my child through procedures (i.e. adding and removing appliances, etc.) when my child is overwhelmed or nervous. Everyone has been very professional, competent, and kind.Dean Haselton15:57 14 Jan 22Clean office and welcoming staff. Alaina was very helpful answering my questions.Brandon Hale23:53 13 Jan 22Dr. Lints and his crew are the absolute best when it comes to taking care of my family’s teeth. We are always greeted with a positive attitude and a smile no matter how busy they are. My kids are very fond of the nice staff especially Brooke Schaub who always makes my kids laugh and feel comfortable when having any work done. I have been going to Dr. Lints since I was a kid in the 90’s and have always had a great experience. By far the best Orthodontics office in Michigan.mikala hoff19:34 13 Jan 22We absolutely love Dr. Lints office. Dr. Lints, Hannah and Courtney have gone above and beyond for my son. Being a person in the dental field I highly recommend Dr. Lints for any orthodontic needs. From the moment we stepped in the office I knew it was the right choice. I can’t thank them enough for taking such great care of my son. They always make sure he is comfortable when he is there. He loves when he gets to see the three of them.Beth Roethler01:43 12 Jan 22Our two young daughters have absolutely LOVED working with Dr. Lints and his incredible team as we have navigated retainers, expanders and life. When you surround yourself with an amazing team, incredible things happen. We’ve been lucky enough to have Hannah, assist us with all our visits. She is a true professional at her craft. She knows how to talk to children, and connect with them. She makes our girls feel confident, welcome, and proud to smile from ear to ear every visit we have. Thank you Hannah, Dr. Lints, and your spectacular team for all you do.Karrissa Strehlke21:21 11 Jan 22Have been going to Dr. Lints for years with myself and two children who have needed help with their amazing smiles! Dr. Lints is always smiling and friendly and amazing at his craft! He also has this amazing gal that works with or kiddo too and her name is Hannah Davis she is a great asset to his team of lovely ladies!hannah holmes19:19 30 Dec 21Dr. Lints has truly built a name for himself. He and his staff are so incredibly kind and knowledgeable. I had braces as a child with a different orthodontist but never wore my retainers. Dr. Lints is retreating me as an adult now and I couldn’t be more pleased with his treatment plan. I’m always greeted with smiling faces and a clean upbeat environment. I can’t wait to show off my new smile once my treatment is completed. Thank you to everyone at the Dr. Lints office!Jenna Foerster12:10 13 Dec 21They are professional, friendly and helpful. We’ve been very happy with their services!Darci Fitch23:32 08 Dec 21Dr. Lints office was recommended by my local dentist when my daughter was in elementary school. I was very happy with his office as a whole. Everyone was friendly, professional, and attentive. Dr. Lints always took time to explain everything and answer questions. The outcome and timeframe was exactly as expected.Jackie Stremlow19:01 21 Oct 21Dr Lints has been very helpful with expanding my son's mouth and working on correcting some issues with the help of a retainer. The only negatives are that we are always waiting at least 15 minutes past our appointment time to even be called in the office. The receptionist staff is not the friendliest but we have had friendly dental technicians.Dan Harbold16:46 26 Jul 21Everyone there was such a big help with my 7 year old, especially Courtney-she really knows how to best work with young kids.Kelly knox21:41 07 Jul 21What a great experience I have had as an adult patient of Dr. lints! After having braces as a child, my teeth had moved and shifted over the years. 1 year and 3 months ago Dr. Lints put me in Invisalign and I just completed the program, I couldn’t be happier with the results! Dr. Lints was on top of things during the pandemic and always kept in touch and has provided such great service! My three kids are also patients and we have seen amazing results all around!Susan Mundt13:17 23 Jun 21Growing up I never needing orthodontia, I had perfectly straight teeth! Fast forward to my mid 60’s, yes, beyond Spring Chicken, my teeth are getting crooked. First I notice my lower front teeth “doing their thing” which started grossly affecting my top front teeth!Advancing in years is tough enough but to have my dazzling smile going down the tubes was the worst!I quickly polled friends with kids and my physicians for their recommendation of an orthodontist; the unanimous response was Dr. Lints!The teeth straightening experience can be very overwhelming to say the least! Well into my sixties, I was extremely nervous about going to what I had determined was a kids/youth orthodontist.I need to state, my treatment began before COVID and continued during the pandemic.Dr. Lints and his entire staff could not have been more professional, supportive, and considerate of my needs, fears, and throughout COVID, making every exception to safeguard my health.My double whammy is I also have periodontal disease; now with perfectly straight teeth, I am better able to maintain my gum health.Dr. Lints and his staff gave me back my beautiful smile! I am 70 and eternally grateful!Matthew Ritter18:48 17 Jun 21My high school graduation was quickly approaching, and Dr. Lints agreed to take my braces off a month early! Dr. Lints and the whole staff were kind and respectful to my family and I the whole time we were with them.Steve Pucelik12:36 04 Jun 21Dr Lints and his staff are the best. They care about their patients and the results are amazing.Jennifer Sargent04:54 13 Jan 21Dr. Lints and his team have been amazing to our son from day one. They were calm, patient, and understanding when he was experiencing severe anxiety about starting orthodontic treatment. He was a handful, but they —particularly Courtney— were so great with him and got him through the initial phase of treatment.Our orthodontic experience has been a bit different than it is for most people. Eight months into treatment we moved out of state. No one in our new area would take our son as a transfer patient. Rather than ripping everything out and starting over, we went back to Dr. Lints to continue treatment despite having to travel. That decision not only allowed our son to continue with the ortho plan we felt was best for him; it also allowed us to come back to visit friends and family every couple of months. It was a win-win situation really.A year after beginning orthodontic treatment our son was diagnosed with leukemia. His oncologist wanted the braces removed in the event he ended up dealing with mouth sores from the chemotherapy. Rather than completely stopping treatment, Dr. Lints, without question, switched him to Invisalign. It got rid of the metal in his mouth, has been more comfortable for him than the traditional braces, and has kept his treatment going without having to do in-person visits as often. With the unpredictability of his cancer mixed with pandemic restrictions, it has been so nice to have more flexibility in his ortho treatment schedule.Shortly after having the initial Invisalign visit, we received a call from Dr. Lint’s office and were told he and his Invisalign rep were going to cover the remaining cost of our son’s orthodontic treatment. We were floored! Having one less bill to worry about while dealing with our son’s other medical treatments and expenses has been such a blessing to us. We will never forget the kindness, care, and concern Dr. Lints and his team have shown our family. We are also incredibly grateful for the extra safety measures taken during our visits to keep our son healthy. This is a team that truly cares about their patients.We are coming to the tail end of orthodontic treatment which is kind of crazy to think about. Our son’s jaw has been fixed without needing surgery, and his smile looks amazing! We recommend Dr. Lints to all our TC friends looking for an orthodontist. He and his team simply are the best!April Kehrer14:47 12 Jan 21Dr. Lintz and his staff are all so wonderful. Our son definatley has some anxieties about the dentist and the staff makes him feel comfortable every single time! Highly recommend!Ashley Woodcox17:37 17 Dec 20Dr.Lints did my braces and my retainer's, the confidence in my smile has gotten better, I'm able to smile without worrying about what people are saying about itLauren Judd17:42 11 Mar 20Amazing job! Made my confidence in my smile go from low to over the top. I will be forever thankful! The staff were always friendly.
