Steven Rodriguez, DDS Lead Dentist
I believe that great dentistry has to be built on a great relationship between the dentist, and patient that’s based on mutual trust and respect. That’s why I’m 110% committed to getting to know each person I treat, so I can help them achieve their personal dental goals.”
Meet Dr. Sevener
Jeffrey Sevener, DDS Associate Dentist
I love how dentistry so masterfully combines art and science. A great dentist must have an extreme appreciation for both. He must know how to tap into the mechanisms of proper function, but also have the wherewithal to create work that mimics nature. I strive for this every day.”

Explore Your OptionsYour first step in receiving emergency dental care is to call Healthy Smiles Dental Care of Muskegon as soon as possible and allow someone on our staff to assist you. If you are suffering from a life-threatening emergency, please call 911. Be aware that most emergency rooms and urgent care facilities are not equipped to handle dental emergencies.
In most cases, we can schedule you for a same-day appointment. We are also open late on Mondays.
Often, a dental emergency is an indication of a bigger oral health problem, and a sign that you may need to get back into the routine of visiting your dentist regularly. Your biannual appointments can help prevent future emergencies from occurring, saving you time, money, and possibly even your natural teeth.
The first step to locating a new dentist is to define what you’re looking for in a practice. This is typically some combination of whether they accept your dental insurance, their fees, the practice location, the dentist’s credentials, the safety and cleanliness of the facility, and their hours of operation.
Additionally, it’s important to know what type of dental care you need. Are you looking for a dentist that accommodates pediatric patients? Do you need a routine exam and cleaning? Are you in search of major restorative care? Are you interested in cosmetic dentistry? Do you or a child need braces? Certain dentists are better for specific types of procedures.
Finally, it’s important to get a good feel for the practice, including how they treat their patients. At Healthy Smiles Dental Care of Muskegon, you and your family are more than just a set of teeth. We treat not just your smile, but we take the time to get to know you and understand your unique oral health goals.
Once you’ve determined what you’re looking for, be sure to read some patient reviews on our website or on Google. These are great ways to ensure that your new dentist meets your needs and will treat you in the manner that you deserve.
The fastest and easiest way to make a same-day appointment is to call Healthy Smiles Dental Care of Muskegon directly. Sending an email or filling out a web form may not get you a response as quickly. A phone call also allows our team to better understand your situation and get you the best care as soon as possible.
The goal of a same-day appointment is for your dentist to assess the situation, eliminate the cause of pain you are experiencing, and finalize any treatment plans. In some cases, we can perform more advanced care at a same-day appointment, but this will vary depending on the situation.
While there’s no single designation that qualifies a dentist to become a cosmetic dentist, there are many organizations that offer advanced training on cosmetic dentistry procedures. If you are looking for a dentist who specializes in cosmetic dentistry, check to see if they have any involvement in this type of organization. Here in the United States, some of the most high-profile organizations for cosmetic dentistry include:
Furthermore, nearly all dental schools and many other notable organizations offer excellent continuing education programs for dentists looking to expand their skills in cosmetic dentistry.
All dentists located in the United States must have earned either a Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) or a Doctor of Dental Sciences (DDS) from one of the nation’s 67 Accredited dental schools.
Acceptance into dental school requires the student to first complete a bachelor’s degree program with high grades in a major that is heavy in both math and science.
Dental school is an additional three-year program with a combination of both classroom and hands-on learning. Following dental school, some dentists choose to continue their education by earning one of 12 ADA recognized specializations which require an additional three years of dental education and training.
Finally, all dentists are required to complete a minimum amount of continuing education hours each year to maintain their dental license.
