General and Family Dentistry
Complete, affordable dental care for every member of your family — from toddlers to grandparents.
Your Family's Dental Home in South Haven
At Dr. Verne Ticknor DDS, we believe that great oral health is the foundation of overall well-being. Our family dentistry practice is designed to serve patients of all ages, providing a warm and welcoming environment where everyone feels comfortable.
We love kids! Our team goes out of its way to make dental visits fun and stress-free for our youngest patients, helping them build healthy habits that last a lifetime. And for our adult patients, we offer a full range of preventive and restorative services to keep your smile healthy for years to come.
Our General Dentistry Services
Routine Cleanings & Exams
Regular professional cleanings and comprehensive exams are the cornerstone of good oral health. We recommend visits every six months to catch problems early and keep your smile bright.
Digital X-Rays
Our digital X-ray technology delivers detailed images with significantly less radiation than traditional film X-rays, helping us diagnose issues that aren't visible to the naked eye.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
We use composite resin fillings that match the natural color of your teeth, restoring cavities discreetly and preserving more of your natural tooth structure.
Crowns & Bridges
When a tooth is severely damaged or missing, crowns and bridges restore both function and appearance, giving you a complete, confident smile.
Nitrous Oxide Sedation
For patients who experience dental anxiety, we offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas) to help you relax comfortably during your procedure.
Gum Disease Treatment
Healthy gums are essential to a healthy smile. We provide deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) and ongoing periodontal maintenance to treat and manage gum disease.
Mouthguards
Custom-fitted mouthguards protect your teeth during sports and prevent damage from nighttime grinding (bruxism).
We Love Kids!
We understand that a child's first dental experiences shape their attitude toward oral health for life. Our friendly team makes every visit fun, educational, and comfortable — building trust and healthy habits from an early age.
- Gentle, patient approach for anxious children
