NILES, Mich. -- Cass Family Clinic's Board of Directors celebrated the opening of its new Niles dental facility with a ribbon cutting and employee reception on Monday.

Clinic officials say the 4,500-square-foot department is now open in the west wing of the Niles facility at 1951 Oak St.

The dental facility which moved from its former location on Grant Street, features 12 treatment rooms and provides a full spectrum of dental services, including hygiene exams, prophy, debridement, sealants, scale and root planning, fillings, extractions, dentures, crowns, root canals, space maintainers, and night guards.

“We’re proud to expand our Niles clinic footprint, now offering a fully integrated and unified healthcare experience under one roof,” said Joe Gavan, CEO of Cass Family Clinic. “Bringing a dental center into our Niles clinic helps streamline our services to better care for local residents and patients."

Officials add the new dental department also includes a dedicated special needs treatment room and wheelchair-accessible equipment.

With this expansion, staff has increased to 27.

University of Michigan dental students will also receive hands-on experience through a residency rotation program at Cass Family Clinic’s Niles and Cassopolis locations.
