With so many dentists and specialists in the West Michigan area, how can one practice stand out? McMahon Family Dental and Dr. John M. McMahon, the younger of the father-son team, have shifted to a more patient-oriented mindset that demonstrates their commitment to doing dentistry differently. In an already high-tech office, Dr. John offers same-day crowns and has the ability to 3-D print surgical guides, aligners, and bite splints. Now, through virtual consultations, McMahon Family Dental is able to help patients feel more comfortable and reach them more easily and conveniently.

Patients who are concerned about their smile, have questions about their oral health, or are seeking a new dentist have access to dental advice and recommendations without taking time off work or spending hours in a dentist’s chair.

New and existing patients can request a free, virtual consultation on the website by submitting photos and describing their concerns. Dr. John then responds with a personalized video that addresses the patient’s issues, explains the options and treatments that could help them, describes the processes and time commitments, and provides a cost estimate.

“I’ve found this is a great way for new patients to get to know me before they come in, and it also builds trust in me and the practice,” Dr. John says. “This level of transparency, combined with access to dental guidance without having to leave the house, is not only beneficial and desired, but also is necessary in today’s climate.”

Dr. John is a skilled cosmetic and restorative dentist who combines artistry and engineering to offer a complete range of treatments. It’s rewarding to him to instill confidence in his patients and see their satisfaction with their smiles. He also enjoys the family practice aspect, and loves treating kids and watching them grow and thrive.
