Dr. Samuel Spraggins III, DDS
Passionate about his profession
"As a child, I accompanied my father to the dentist's office and was captivated
by all of the dental equipment. I was fascinated with the procedures my
dad's dentist performed and after working as a dental technician, I truly
developed a passion for dentistry. Over the years, I have learned that
being a good dentist means having a sense of responsibility to do what's
best for my patients. That's why I will listen to your concerns and come
up with a solution that fits your dental needs as quickly as possible.
I'll take as long as necessary to answer your questions and explain things
so you understand them. My goal is to give you the beautiful, healthy
smile that you are looking forward to getting."
DDS: University of Michigan School
of Dentistry, 1991
BA: Wayne State University, 1986
Always the Student
"My education didn't stop after dental school. Because as
long as there are new advances in dentistry, there are new benefits I
can share with my patients. I'll never stop learning."

Continuing Education: Dr. Spraggins takes over 20 hours

Maintaining strong ties to his community
"I am proud to be a member of the Grand Rapids community. It is very
rewarding to be able to use my dental skills to help local residents.
But I've also found other ways to server the community. I enjoy mentoring
high-school students and helping them overcome roadblocks to graduation.
And it gives me great satisfaction to coach my son's youth football team,
too. I hope that my efforts to help our community are adequate repayment
for everything that local residents have given to me over the years."

with his son;s youth football program.
