Dr Peter W Piche

Dr. Piche graduated from the University of Michigan School of dentistry in 1995. He returned to his hometown of Traverse City to join his father in practice. Dr. Piche has continued his learning and training throughout his career, and develop his skills as a physician of the mouth. Dr. Piche has pursued advanced clinical studies throughout his career, beginning with the Dawson Center for Occlusal Studies, LSU Cosmetic Continuum, coursework at the Center for Cosmetic Studies, and completion of the Orognathic Bioesthetic International (OBI) curriculum. Carrying on his father's early decision be an amalgam free office, Dr. Piche is a member of the IAOMT and continues his study and certifications for safe amalgam removal. Along with his clinical care training, Dr. Piche believes honest and caring patient/doctor partnerships are essential to positive long-term health outcomes. It is within these relationships, that Dr. Piche finds his mission in the practice of dentistry. Dr. Piche is proud of the practice’s long-standing tradition of involving the patient in treatment decisions, outcomes and timing. He wants to ensure that each patient is part of the team working together to achieve the patient's long-term oral health goals. It is important to understand that the teeth and chewing system are part of a larger system and optimizing the relationships improves ones overall health. Summed up by these words of Mother Teresa, "Unless life is lived for others, it is not worthwhile."
