We travel from Munising to get our dental work done at Jacobs Smile Center. Everyone and everything is very professional and clean. They always have the newest and up to date technologies when it comes to complete mouth healthcare. Our kids love going for their "smile checkups," all the dental hygienists are great with the kids. I have personally known Dr. Jacobs and his family for 25+ years, a great and caring family!!!! -The Cole Family

Where else can you visit a dentist office, and be happy about your visit, both before and after? Friendly, cheerful personnel, free cookies, free coffee, free smiles. This office also uses some of the latest/greatest non-intrusive technology to assist in providing you incredible dental care. We don't own stock in them, not related to anyone there, and we don't rent/sell any equipment to them. But sometimes we do borrow an extra cookie or two when we leave. We give them our cold beer in the river for you guarantee. Mahalo
