Three decades of healthier teeth and beautiful smiles

Dr Magnuson says he’s honoring the occasion by continuing to do what he does best: making people smile. He says part of the mission of his practice is helping patients improve the look and health of their teeth by offering the latest procedures in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere, and to truly help them understand the importance and advantages of maintaining their oral health.

“We benefit people through patient care and education while supporting the community in which we live and work,” says Dr Magnuson, who began his dental career after graduating from the Southern Illinois University School of Dental Medicine in 1978. Right after graduation, he opened his practice in Kalamazoo.

“I just fell in love with the town, the community, and the people,” he says.

Dr Magnuson specializes in correcting common aesthetic and functional issues for his patients, such as gaps, chips, stains, teeth misalignment, missing teeth and many other conditions. He also performs teeth whitening, composite fillings and dental implants.

“We foster teamwork through innovation, personal responsibility, trust, and communication between our doctors, dental team, and patients,” he says.

Dr Magnuson prides himself for staying on top of the latest technology and giving people effective, beautiful results in the most comfortable way possible. He says his experience has been a rewarding one, largely because of his patient-centered approach toward dentistry.

“Our staff strives to create open, friendly relationships with each of our patients to ensure that they receive the most dedicated and highest quality customer service and care,” he says. “Our personalized service and warm, relaxing atmosphere set us apart.”

Dr Magnuson is accredited by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD), and he has served as an accreditation examiner for that organization. He is also a member of the American Board of Cosmetic Dentistry. The Consumer’s Research Council has named him one of America’s Top Dentists.

In addition to offering porcelain dental veneers in Kalamazoo and other methods of improving smiles and general oral health, Dr Magnuson says he makes it a point to reach out to his own community as well as those around the world.

He is a contributor to the Give Back a Smile Foundation — an organization dedicated to helping victims of domestic violence — and the AACD Foundation Disaster Relief Fund. The latter organization has helped many people in the United States and around the globe who have been affected by the 2007 California wildfires, the 2004 tsunami that hit countries along the Indian Ocean, and the 2005 hurricanes that impacted the U.S. Gulf Coast.

Dr Magnuson says his 30-year milestone as a cosmetic, implant and sedation dentist have only made him more excited about the future ahead. He says that as dental technology and techniques continue to evolve, the coming years should hold even better ways to give his patients bright, breathtaking smiles in a comfortable, pain-free experience.

“We strive to give every patient who walks in our doors star-quality, individualized attention and treatment,” he says.
