Top Dentist in Grand Rapids 2021, 2022 and 2023
Dr. Brian Nylaan tells his patients, “I don’t work on teeth; I work with people who have teeth.” It’s his way of building relationships and conveying how critical dentistry is to people’s well-being. When seeing patients, he approaches the whole person, taking time to talk and educate them on what they need to do to take care of themselves and their smiles – and why it benefits them. “Dentistry is incredibly important for overall health and shouldn’t be viewed as optional,” Dr Nylaan says. “It should be a requirement for living a good, healthy life.”
In practice for more than 30 years, and recently achieving lifetime memberships in the Michigan Dental Association and American Dental Association, Dr. Nylaan has seen and implemented many advancements in the dental field. They include diagnostic technologies such as 3D CT x-rays, and laser dentistry. He is also passionate about sleep and is aware of the ways that poor sleep can affect health. “We’re not talking about prevention of snoring,” Dr. Nylaan says. “Research has shown a strong tie between poor sleep and a higher likelihood of heart attack, stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes, and acid reflux. Lack of sleep affects children and adults alike, and we need to take it seriously.” Dentistry is oral medicine, and we have the training to improve many different areas of your total body health.
“My goal is to help people recognize when they have a need and provide treatment options to improve the quality of life.” He says, “It starts when you listen to your patient.”

Patient-Focused Dentistry from Dr. Brian S. Nylaan
At our Grand Rapids dental office, we believe that providing personalized, successful dental care involves taking the time to fully understand your oral health needs and creating an environment where you feel comfortable and welcome.
Rather than focusing on current dental issues, we emphasize personalized treatment plans designed to help improve your overall health and confidence in your smile. As your allies for achieving a smile that is functional, beautiful, and healthy, we care are about getting to the root of your oral health issues, not just fixing problems when they arise.
Starting with your first visit, Dr. Nylaan takes the time to get to know you and your smile personally. By using advanced diagnostic technology such as digital and panoramic X-rays, we can better understand your oral health and make unbiased and honest treatment recommendations that align with your personal aesthetic goals.
In addition to comprehensive preventive, cosmetic, and family dentistry, we also proudly provide solutions for more complex needs, such as sleep apnea and snoring, advanced gum disease, deep enamel discoloration, tooth loss, and much more.
Our available services include but are not limited to:
We emphasize patient education by teaching proper at-home oral care. Our team utilizes community events, such as the annual Halloween Candy Buyback, to help educate children and parents about best oral health practices. We send the pounds of uneaten candy our community has collected as care packages to soldiers serving overseas.
Prioritizing Comfortable Care through Innovative Technology
By combining the latest advancements in dental technology with trusted treatment techniques, Dr. Nylaan can better provide you and your loved ones with the comfortable, safe, and comprehensive care you deserve. Our Grand Rapids dentist believes our commitment to equipping our office with innovative technology allows us to provide the highest quality care with a human touch.
Our digital imaging technology creates a precise 360-degree view of your teeth, gums, jaw, neck, and facial structures while reducing your radiation exposure up to 90%. These images are especially useful for spotting underlying oral health issues as well as determining your eligibility for dental implant placement.
We also offer dental laser technology for everything from teeth whitening to gum disease treatment, gum contouring, and reducing fine lines and wrinkles around the smile.
