Welcome to Our Practice
Welcome to Gaslight Village Family Dentistry. Located in East Grand Rapids, we've been caring for local families for over three decades—and we're just getting started.
Dr. Joshua Wansten brings fresh energy to our established practice, while respecting the relationships and trust that generations of patients have built with us over time. Our fantastic team goes above and beyond for our patients and supports one another in helping families achieve their healthiest, happiest smiles.
Meet Dr. Wansten
Dr. Wansten initially planned to pursue a career in medicine. Then he toured a dental school and discovered that dentistry offered something unique. He found it to be the perfect blend of science, creativity, and problem-solving, where he could also help people with their unique dental needs.
After earning his degree from the University of Michigan School of Dentistry and spending several years practicing in Chicago, Dr. Wansten and his wife returned to West Michigan, which they always considered home. Today, he is delighted to be part of the East Grand Rapids community, where his patients are also his friends and neighbors.
Where Science Meets Compassion
Your first visit with us is a comprehensive examination where we gather everything we need to understand your unique dental situation. We take detailed images and x-rays and use AI-enhanced analysis that makes it easy for you to understand what’s happening with your teeth.
But technology is just a tool. What matters most is how comfortable you feel throughout the process. You'll appreciate Netflix on our in-room TVs, noise-canceling headphones, weighted blankets, and stuffed animals for your kids to snuggle with during appointments.
Dental Care That Transforms Lives
At Gaslight Village Family Dentistry, we provide comprehensive care for our community, from age three through the senior years. Whether it’s a routine cleaning or a complete smile makeover, we approach every case with the same attention to detail and commitment to your comfort.
Whether helping someone overcome years of dental anxiety, restoring a smile after complex dental issues, or watching patients discover how much they value their oral health, Dr. Wansten finds great satisfaction in the transformative journeys we take together.
Making Quality Dentistry Accessible
Everyone deserves excellent dental care, and we work hard to make treatment accessible. We're in-network with Delta Dental and gladly accept all other PPO insurance plans, though we may be out-of-network with some.
We also offer flexible payment options, including CareCredit and Sunbit financing plans, that can help you get the care you need without straining your budget.
