Dr. Tiffany Valencia

Dentists in Kalkaska aren’t exactly thick on the ground, so when you need routine cleanings or something more involved—like fillings or extractions—Dr. Tiffany Valencia covers the basics without frills. The office sits at 508 N Birch St, a quick turn off M-72 if you’re coming from Traverse City or Grayling. It’s the kind of place where you’d handle checkups, X-rays, or even a chipped tooth after an unfortunate encounter with a popcorn kernel. No specialty ads, no spa-like promises; just the standard dental work most people need at some point.

The stretch of Birch Street it’s on is quiet, mostly residential with a few small businesses mixed in—think auto shops and a diner that’s been around since the ‘80s. That low-key vibe might suit anyone who’d rather not deal with the hustle of bigger dental chains in nearby towns. And since Kalkaska’s not exactly a dental hub, having a general practice here means one less reason to drive 30 minutes for a crown or a wisdom tooth consultation. Parking’s never the main event in these parts, but the area’s laid out simply enough.

If you’re mapping it out, the directions are straightforward, and questions about appointments or procedures go to (231) 258-5399. No website deep dives required—just the essentials, same as the practice itself.
