Matthew V Cripe, DDS
Dr. Cripe's dental teams really enjoy helping patients achieve and maintain healthy, beautiful smiles. As always, we strive to get you what you want. Having practiced since 1990, we have the ability and experience to deliver beautiful dentistry in a kind and gentle fashion. We know our patients want us to confirm they are healthy.

If something feels "broken, " our patients usually want it fixed. It's not a matter of life and death where you get your dental care. What seems to matter most is that you like, have mutual respect for, and appreciate the people at your dental office. The one thing you will receive at our office which you will not receive at a large clinic.
Services
We're always happy to provide emergency service when we're open, but no one plans for an emergency, an "oops!", or an accident after regular office hours. If you are a patient of record, you may contact Dr. Cripe after hours when needed. If you don't have an immediate emergency, please leave a message at the office where you see Dr. Cripe, and we will contact you when we open.
Dr. Cripe has been practicing dentistry in Dowagiac since 1990. Over the years, he has invested in new technology and equipment because he believes every patient deserves the very best available. He has many wonderful relationships with his patients and is now seeing the children of patients he treated when they were little kids themselves.
The office was built in 1998. The woods in the back with the entertaining squirrels and other wildlife always provide enjoyable and calming entertainment. Inside the building, we recognize that all our patients are unique and deserve to receive dental care that reflects their individual needs.

Our experienced and talented dental team is committed to working with you and your family to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding dental experience every time you visit our practice.Dr. Cripe loves these ladies and they are like family to him and Beth. They are all pleased to welcome you and your family, and we look forward to working with you.
I bought this existing practice in Niles in 2015. I am very happy with the staff and I highly respect the fact that most patients have been coming here for many, many years. Patients seem very pleased and comfortable at this office. We recognize that all our patients are unique and deserve to receive dental care that reflects their individual needs.
We provide initial (comprehensive) exams, periodic (usually 6-month) exams and emergency exams. At the check-up appointmens was also provide cleanings, fluoride, and oral cancer screenings. When needed, we also take x-rays.

The health of your teeth and mouth is very important to the well-being of your entire body, and while routine brushing and flossing at home is necessary to keep your smile looking its best, visiting your dentist for a comprehensive exam and cleaning is essential.The American Dental Association recommends that you visit your dentist every six months to ensure your teeth stay healthy and your smile stays beautiful.

I drove three hours to visit Dr. Cripe on a recommendation from a dear friend of mine. I needed extensive work, and was apprehensive about seeing a dentist again, I’ve had bad experiences in the past. I let them know about my fears, and they were patient and gentle with me. At no point did I feel uncomfortable. Although I will need a few more visits, I was able to leave my appointment with a smile on my face, something I haven’t been able to do in years. Thank you Dr. Cripe and staff.

It’s so nice to find going to the dentist a pleasant experience. The staff is so very friendly, the hygenists are thorough yet gentle, and Dr. Cripe is the consummate professional who uses the latest technology to ensure I receive the best of care.

Sharon did my cleaning, and she was wonderful. I hadn't been to the dentist in a long while and was quite anxious, and she was very compassionate. She explained everything she was doing and made me feel completely comfortable. I look forward to my next appointment! My smile is already brighter thanks to her!
