I grew up in Zeeland and went to Zeeland High School. GO CHIX! I completed a major in Biology Life Sciences at the University of Findlay in Ohio. I obtained my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree at Indiana University School of Dentistry. After a one year hospital dental residency at the University of Toledo Medical Center in Ohio, I returned to IUSD for an orthodontic residency. I am a member of the Holland/Zeeland Dental Society, Michigan Dental Association, Michigan Association of Orthodontists, Great Lakes Association of Orthodontists, American Dental Association, and the American Association of Orthodontists.
I really enjoy coming to work and creating healthy, beautiful smiles. My staff and I are passionate in making sure your care is comfortable, friendly and fun. We feel blessed to be in the wonderful profession of orthodontics. Orthodontics is exciting because it combines art, science and technology to give each person their signature smile. We have had several past patients that have also chosen dentistry/orthodontics as their profession.
I went to West Ottawa High School then to Michigan State University. I earned my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree at the University of Michigan, (sorry but my blood still runs to the green side!) and completed my orthodontic residency at the University of Illinois after a hospital dental residency at Rush Presbyterian St. Luke's Hospital in Chicago. I am a member of Omicron Kappa Upsilon Chapter. I am also a Diplomat of the American Board of Orthodontics. I am a member of the Holland/Zeeland Dental Society, Michigan Dental Association, Michigan Association of Orthodontists, Great Lakes Association of Orthodontists, American Dental Association, and the American Association of Orthodontists.
My wife, Karen, is from Hamilton and I was a native of Holland so we were happy to return to live in this community. I have two daughters. Leslie has joined Glupker Orthodontics.My other daughter, Courtney, attends Michigan College of Optometry at Ferris. I enjoy hobby farming, motorcycles, and spending time outside, especially with my family.
We recognize that all of our patients are unique and deserve to receive orthodontic care that reflects their individual needs. Our experienced and talented team is committed to working with you and your family to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding orthodontic experience every time you visit our practice.
Just like our counterparts in the medical profession, we're specialists who devoted several years beyond a general dental education strictly to the study of orthodontics. Only aftercompleting a formal multi-year residency at an accredited orthodontic program can one be called an Orthodontist.
Our friendly and well-trained team members provide a supportive environment, always putting our patients needs first. Our staff is uniquely trained and highly skilled, with specialized training and certifications, and years of experience in treating patients with the highest level of care.
We strive to provide our patients the best care using the latest technology, such as 3D X-rays, digital impressions, soft-tissue laser, and treatment accelerators. Our modern, cutting-edge techniques ensure you are receiving the quality care you deserve.
We have two beautiful offices, one in Holland and one in Zeeland. We are the first to provide semi-private exam spaces to help you feel comfortable while were working on your teeth. We offer evening hours as well, and flexible financing, to help you get a smile you love!

We visited here for a 3rd quote and had to wait in the lobby for 30 minutes after our scheduled appointment before being seen. Then we were quoted a full set of braces on our young child after 2 other orthodontists quoted an expander. Double to triple the price with no sound reasoning as to why. No thank you. If you have deep pockets, this is the place for you.

Missed an appointment due to Covid hospitalization and tried to call and schedule and they told me they were going to charge me a fee to be seen for missing and appointment. No compassion do not recommend

Pretty bad when after the first appt with our kids they call a day before the second appt to cancel because our kids 'aren't a good fit' in their office. They fit perfectly in the new place !!!!

if i could give this place a 0 star i would. when i was 8 i got my braces RIPPED off my teeth, my gums started bleeding so much and i was told "why are you crying, it doesn't hurt that bad" even after a big strip of medal was ripped off in one strip. the owner or whatever he is gave my mom and i the worst experience there for no reason. DONT bring your children here.

Everyone at Glupker Orthodontics is warm and welcoming! My first child had braces from them and had a beautiful smile. Sadly, she passed away and Glupker sent us flowers and a card. Now my other daughter has braces. They do top notch work, I highly recommend Glupker Orthodontics!
