All of our surgeons are trained to administer anesthesia and sedation, allowing you to relax during your procedure. We put your comfort first, and we are happy to make any accommodations to help put you at ease.

We evaluate, diagnose, and treat all under one roof to provide a more streamlined experience to our patients. Our in-house prosthodontist works alongside our surgeons, giving patients the care they need.

Our front desk staff is well-versed in handling insurance claims as well as assisting with all of your scheduling needs.

We have five offices in Michigan where we deliver personalized care in a pristine environment. Our Flint office is on the south side of Flint near I-75 and US-23, our Saginaw office is off of M-84 and Tittabawassee Road, our Bay City office is northwest of the Saginaw River on Shrestha Drive, and our Owosso office is next to the Shiawassee River off of S Michigan 52.

Dr. Frey strives to make patients feel comfortable by providing them with personalized treatments and alleviating any concerns. Most people visit Greater Michigan Oral Surgeons & Dental Implant Center because they are experiencing pain, discomfort, or worry about an existing problem, and Dr. Frey finds it rewarding when they experience exceptional care and improved oral health. Overall, Dr. Frey is happy that oral surgery provides him the opportunity to combine his skills in surgery and anesthesia so that he can provide timely and effective treatment for his patients.

Dr. Frey has lived in the Flint area for most of his life. After graduating from Grand Blanc High School and attending the University of Michigan as an undergraduate, Dr. Frey received his dental degree from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. He also completed a 1-year general practice residency at the Medical College of Ohio and a 3-year residency in oral and maxillofacial surgery at the Detroit Medical Center.

During both of these residencies, Dr. Frey gained extensive hands-on training in surgery and treatment of oral and facial defects, disease, and trauma. He also completed extensive training in anesthesia and IV sedation delivery and management. Following his training, he returned here to his hometown and began seeing patients in this practice. After 26 years of practice, his goals remain the same: to treat each patient like he or she is family and to provide the best care possible.

Dr. Lesneski strives to achieve excellence in providing compassionate care and delivering the optimal outcome to every patient. Whether youve lost teeth and are seeking to replace them with dental implants, have impacted wisdom teeth or canines, have sustained a traumatic facial injury, or would like to improve your youthful appearance, Dr. Lesneski and his staff have the knowledge and expertise to diagnose your problem and treat it appropriately. At the end of the day, patient safety, comfort, and satisfaction are his top priorities.

Dr. Lesneski completed his undergraduate studies at Michigan State University and then went on to earn his dental degree at the University of Detroit Mercy. Following the completion of his schooling, he began his surgical training at Temple University in Philadelphia and finished his residency at Gundersen Lutheran Health System in Wisconsin.

The experience and training that Dr. Lesneski received gave him the skills necessary to diagnose and address a variety of oral conditions for patients of all ages. Dr. Lesneski is highly trained in all aspects of treatment, from addressing complex facial injuries to safely administering anesthesia. He finds it extremely satisfying to help patients heal and regain their oral health and function.

Dr. Kittle was born in Germany but grew up all over the world with his family moving every four years. He knew from a young age that he wanted to pursue a healthcare career. After serving for two years on a Mormon mission in Brazil and having already worked as a dental assistant in his fathers office, he decided to pursue dentistry. It was during dental school that he learned about oral and maxillofacial surgery and realized that he loved it and wanted to become an oral surgeon.

Dr. Kittle finds his job extremely rewarding, and he loves being able to provide patients with positive treatment experiences. He makes sure to talk patients through the process so they can feel comfortable with the procedure and have a chance to ask questions. Dr. Kittle, along with our entire team, believes in the importance of effectively communicating with our patients and their families to ensure a comfortable treatment process.

Dr. Kittle earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Kansas, Lawrence in 2003. He continued his education at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, where he completed his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree. After graduating from dental school in 2007, he completed the Advanced Education in General Dentistry Program Program at Fort Sill, OK. He then went on to complete his four-year oral and maxillofacial residency at San Antonio Military Medical Center.

Dr. Kittle is certified by the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (ABOMS), making him the highest qualified dental professional to treat your oral surgery needs. To earn his board-certification, he completed rigorous written and oral exams to demonstrate his exemplary knowledge of the oral and maxillofacial specialty.

In his spare time, Dr. Kittle is an amateur photographer who loves taking photos. In addition, he enjoys jogging/running, mountain biking, and other forms of exercise. He is an avid reader and a sports-enthusiast and loves spending time with his wife and children.

Couldn't find my delta delta dental plan, didn't even get the group number to so so, keep trying to infer it was a Medicaid plan. I know what my insurance is and its found by group number not ss#. When I told her.. well tried to she got belligerent and said " I didn't treat her right?!" How?! For telling you every other office in your group found a plan by group # not ss#. I was told to try another office to see if they had a sooner opening but I was treated like I was an #%* for advising to look by group number. I wouldn't go here if someone paid me and the service was free. Maybe listen to people instead of always thinking your right and your customers are idiots. Midland was wonderful and so was Bay City. Found a policy no problem. Don't call Saginaw

I was referred by Dr Galsterer and had 2 wisdom teeth extracted with just local anesthetic. The numbing was the worst part of the whole thing but didn't last long at all, Dr Kittle had both teeth out in under 3 minutes. I was super impressed. The post days were so easy I didn't even need pain medication. Just iced and rested. Can't say enough good things about this experience.

Everyone at the office was professional and kind! The office was clean, and once the procedure started it was finished quickly! I was also given a blanket because it was cold. Highly recommend! Great job!

All staff from start to finish were positive, organized and caring. Post-op nurse was very patient, as coming off sedation was a little difficult for my daughter. Great group of professionals!

I've had over 10 teeth pulled in my lifetime due to an extra set of teeth and this place has topped any experience I've had over the past 15 years!!! I could not recommend any other place to go to! These guys are courteous, professional and quick! I had the best after care experience I've ever had! Thank you and I'll be back when I'm ready for more to come out! ( note: I also have problems with my stomach not working so anesthesia can be a nightmare but with this place, I had absolutely NO problems!) Keep doing what your doing guys!!!

(Real name redacted by edit) I got two lower wisdom teeth and a second molar removed May 11th by Dr. Shyam Prasad Aravindaksha. Dr. Aravindaksha did an incredible job! I was warned that the surgery would be painful and that there would be nerve damage because of my age, but I left with zero pain and no nerve damage whatsoever! Didn't even have to take one painkiller! Surgery went by very quickly! Staff were friendly, professional and very helpful. I would definitely come here again, they do great work here!

I am blown away! I had been turned away by other surgeons and this office took my tooth out no problem. Not only was it reasonably/competitively priced...they are also VERY kind, understanding, explanatory, efficient, thorough...all the things you need when going to a place like a dental/maxillofacial surgery office. I was even more impressed with the ability to have consultation and surgery in the SAME APPOINTMENT. It makes so much sense to do it that way. And I'm so glad because they saved me a lot of pain and a lot of trauma today!!

When I asked my friends how their experience of getting their wisdom teeth out was, they always stated that it was a terrible experience or they had a lot of complications. Going through this clinic, it was a great experience! I have a bad fear of needles, and the staff catered well to that through the distraction of conversation. The staff was so kind and hospitable. Lastly, the process was very easy and simple, and I had no complications afterwards. I healed very well!
