    Meet The Doctor and Staff

    Paul VanRaaphorst, DDS, MS, PC

    After graduating in 1983 from The University of Michigan, Dr. VanRaaphorst practiced general dentistry for four years, in Petoskey and in Saginaw.  He then returned to The U of M to earn a masters degree in Periodontology.   Since 1991, Dr. VanRaaphorst has been serving patients in the greater Rochester area .  To keep current with the latest methods, he typically attends seven to ten continuing education seminars per year. 

    Dr. VanRaaphorst is the past president of The Russell B. Bunting Periodontal Study Club. He is also a member of the American Dental Association, the Michigan Dental Association, and is the current secretary/treasurer of the Michigan Periodontal Association.  He has helped form a  local inter-disciplinary study club with several of the area's prominent dentists.  He and his staff also host a Hygiene Study Club to promote continuing education for local hygienists.

    Dr. VanRaaphorst lives in the Rochester area along with his wife and two teenage children.  During his time away from the office, Dr. VanRaaphorst can be found on either his mountain bike or his road bike. Travel and time with his family rounds out his busy schedule.
