“I have a tremendous passion for providing compassionate and excellent care for my patients here in this wonderful community. I appreciate all of the patients that have chosen to trust me with their care, and strive to provide them with the best care possible that meets their individual needs.” – Dr. Dawn A. Grimes, DDS. A Bit of My History: I was born and raised just down the road in Ortonville, Michigan. I knew at a pretty young age that I wanted to be a dentist. After graduating from Brandon High School, I received a Bachelor’s of Science in Biology and Philosophy from the University of Detroit Mercy in 1998. I continued on at UDM’s school of Dentistry and received my Doctorate of Dental Surgery in 2002. Why I Love Being a Dentist: There are so many fascinating things going on in dentistry and I have an insatiable desire for learning. I spend many hours taking courses and reading about the latest techniques and advances in dentistry, and about what is going on in the field around the world. I am truly passionate about dentistry! I feel so fortunate to have found this career, and my hope is that my patients benefit from my passion. The Benefits Of Service: Being very active in the community of dentistry is a priority for me. I’m a member of the American Academy of Facial Esthetics, I serve on the Michigan Dental Association’s Forensic Identification Team and the Michigan Mortuary Response team. I am a clinical instructor for Dental Development Seminars, teaching extraction techniques to general dentists. I have participated in several medical missions in developing nations. I’ve also had a little professional fun making movie teeth for local filmmakers.
