After practicing family dentistry for nearly four years in Spring Lake, Michigan, Dr. Boone went on to pursue his desire to open his own family and cosmetic practice, Smiles by Design, in his hometown of Grand Rapids in 2002. In 2010, he purchased Eastern Dental, where he is able to extend his expertise and love for working with the children of West Michigan to help them learn to care for their growing smiles.
Dr. Boone keeps abreast of current dental knowledge by maintaining memberships with the American Dental Association (ADA), the Michigan Dental Association (MDA) and the West Michigan Dental (WMDDA) and attending regular continuing education courses. Dr. Boone and his wife Stefanie have six children and enjoy traveling with family and spending time attending their childrens wrestling, football and soccer events.
