Your One-Stop Destination for Quality Dental Care
Preventive Dentistry
We provide excellent preventive care, including exams, cleanings, and digital X-rays. Early detection of dental problems is essential to gain optimal oral health. The American Dental Association recommends that you follow a schedule of twice-yearly cleanings and exams.
Children’s Dentistry
According to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, your child should visit the dentist within six months of the first tooth erupting or by their first birthday. Early dental visits help detect tooth decay, support healthy development, and provide parents with valuable oral health education to establish healthy habits and prevent future dental problems.
Cosmetic Dentistry
If you have ever found yourself hiding your smile, avoiding photos, or covering your mouth because you’re unhappy with the appearance of your teeth, it may be time to consider our cosmetic smile solutions. We offer a range of services to give you the smile of your dreams.
Restorative Dentistry
Restorative dentistry is used to restore the strength and beauty of your smile. If you’ve been suffering from pain caused by decay or other health conditions, you may benefit from restorative therapy. We offer conservative treatment solutions to preserve your natural teeth, as well as tooth replacement options.
Dental Implant Services
Dental implants provide a dependable option for replacing missing teeth, offering a secure and enduring alternative to conventional dentures or bridges. Crafted to blend seamlessly with your smile, implants deliver both strength and durability, along with a natural appearance.
Periodontic Services
Periodontics involves the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal disease. Periodontal disease is the leading cause of tooth loss. At our dental office, we will gently evaluate your gums and overall oral health, and if necessary, will make recommendations for treatment.
Endodontic Services
Root canal therapy removes harmful bacteria from your tooth, healing infection, ending your pain and improving your health. When decay or a crack has reached the nerve of a tooth, a root canal is necessary.
Oral Surgery
Our team is experienced in providing oral surgery. Our philosophy to oral surgery is to provide the most comfortable care possible. We take the time to answer your questions and explain your treatment path beforehand.
Sedation Dentistry
Sedation dentistry uses medication to help you enter a highly-relaxed state during treatment, providing a more positive dental care experience, even for patients who suffer from severe dental anxiety or dental phobia.
Emergency Dentistry
Dental emergencies can happen unexpectedly, and our team is here to help when urgent care is needed. Whether you are experiencing tooth pain, a broken tooth, swelling, or an infection, our practice provides compassionate emergency care focused on relieving discomfort and restoring your oral health quickly.

Why Patients Choose This Muskegon Dentist
Questions Norton Shores Dental Patients Ask
How do implants compare to dentures?
Dental implants are a permanent tooth replacement solution anchored directly into the jawbone, providing the look, feel, and function of natural teeth. Dentures are removable and rest on the gumline, which can lead to slipping or discomfort over time. Dr. Michael Fischer and Dr. Jacob Fischer at Fischer Family Dentistry in Norton Shores offer dental implants as a long-term investment in oral health, stability, and confidence.
Do I need a bone graft before implants?
Not every patient requires a bone graft before receiving a dental implant. A bone graft may be recommended when the jawbone has experienced resorption due to tooth loss or gum disease and lacks the density needed to support an implant. During a consultation at Fischer Family Dentistry, Dr. Michael Fischer or Dr. Jacob Fischer will evaluate bone volume through a thorough examination to determine whether a graft is necessary before proceeding with implant placement.
Can I get implants with sedation?
Yes. Fischer Family Dentistry of Norton Shores offers sedation dentistry for patients who experience dental anxiety or who are undergoing more complex procedures, such as implant placement. Sedation options help patients remain calm and comfortable throughout their treatment. Patients interested in sedation are encouraged to discuss their options during a consultation with Dr. Michael Fischer or Dr. Jacob Fischer.
What cosmetic dentistry options does Fischer Family Dentistry offer?
Fischer Family Dentistry of Norton Shores offers a range of cosmetic dental services designed to enhance the appearance of a patient’s smile. These include professional teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, and cosmetic bonding. Dr. Michael Fischer and Dr. Jacob Fischer work closely with each patient to identify the cosmetic solution that best fits their goals, budget, and overall oral health.
How long does professional teeth whitening last?
Professional teeth whitening at Fischer Family Dentistry of Norton Shores typically produces results that last anywhere from one to three years, depending on a patient’s diet, oral hygiene habits, and lifestyle factors such as coffee or tobacco use. Touch-up treatments can help maintain brightness over time, and Fischer Family Dentistry’s in-office whitening solutions are significantly more effective than over-the-counter products.
