Hello! I am deeply passionate about educating patients and giving them the knowledge they need to empower them to change their habits and prevent future dental problems. It is exciting to see my patients improve their health and gain the comfortable, beautiful smile they deserve. It is truly a pleasure to help patients achieve a dazzling smile they can be proud of.

Seeing a patients self-esteem and confidence boosted gives me the highest feeling of satisfaction. Working with such a diverse and multi-generational group of people has given me an appreciation for the joy and energy that people of all ages and backgrounds live their lives with.

I am thankful that my daily work brings me great joy and personal satisfaction. I truly love my job and couldnt imagine doing anything else. Dentistry gives me the opportunity to build relationships with diverse people, to educate patients how to achieve and maintain optimal dental health, and to create comfortable and beautiful smiles that last a lifetime. I look forward to a long and happy career here in the Whitmore Lake community.

Following dental school, I attended an additional year of advanced education in general dentistry at the University of Michigan. This program focused on cosmetics and comprehensive dental treatment, which enables me to complete most of my patients treatment within our office, and thus save my patients the time and money of referrals.

My wife Amy and I have three wonderful children: Ethan, Caleb, and Genevieve. I love playing with my kids and seeing their carefree, joyful smiles. When I have free time, I enjoy playing golf and tennis, and swimming. I have always tried to be generous with others, since I recognize the multitude of undeserved blessings that I have received in my life.

Dentistry is very important to me because it is not just about repairing teeth its about people first and foremost. This profession allows me to meet new people from different backgrounds and learn something new from them every day.

I enjoy helping people improve their smiles and confidence by improving their oral health. The care my team and I provide has the chance to make such a dramatic difference in our patients lives because of the many connections between poor oral health and systemic disease. Its my honor to be trusted with their care.

Originally from Grand Haven, I attended Michigan State Universitys Lyman Briggs College, where I graduated with honors with a bachelors degree in human biology. I proceeded to the University of Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry, and graduated in the top of my class with a Doctorate of Dental Surgery in 2011. I developed a passion for dentistry during my time in Lansing, and enjoy the opportunity to improve my patients oral health, their smiles, and quite often, their self-esteem.

I have been practicing dentistry since 2011. Participation in continuing education over the past several years has kept me up to date on the newest techniques and materials offered in dentistry. In turn, that has allowed me to provide the best care for my patients. I choose to participate in continuing education because I enjoy learning. Dental school provided me with the foundation to practice dentistry, but continuing education allows me to improve and stay up to date with the most current techniques.

We recognize that all our patients are unique and deserve to receive dental care that reflects their individual needs. Our experienced and talented dental team is committed to working with you and your family to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding dental experience every time you visit our practice.

Joye has worked in dentistry for almost 20 years and was trained in a small family practice. Most of her experience is in similar offices: learning how to better serve patients and keep people healthy and happy. In addition to assisting our doctors and taking care of patients at the front desk, she is also responsible for our social media presence! Joye thoroughly enjoys patient education, whether its explaining procedures or helping a patient understand their insurance better.

Joye loves to travel, which works out because she has friends spread out across the country and beyond. When long-distance travel doesnt fit into the weekend plans, she appreciates the retreat to a distant land through a book. Sprinkle in some ice skating, golf, or snowboarding, and her days are complete!

Linda has more than 40 years of experience in both small family practices and larger multi-doctor offices. Having joined our office in 2014, hers is the friendly voice that welcomes you over the phone and when you come into our office.

She always shares in the joy of changed smiles and improved health.

Adele has been a dental assistant for more than 30 years! She joined Dr. Brink in 2007, when the practice was just a small group of patients. Her tireless work ethic, dedication, and cheerful spirit have played a key role in growing the office to the thriving operation it is today. Adeles day-to-day work includes taking X-rays, doing lab work, and assisting during patient care. She loves seeing patients leave the office happy with the excellent work that the team has been able to provide to them.
