As for his journey to becoming the exceptional dentist he is today, it began at Kansas State University, where he obtained his Bachelor of Science. Then, he pursued his Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Dentistry. In the years since, he has been given the Harry M. Klenda Award from the Kansas Dental Association, served as the President of the Topeka District Dental Society, and earned a fellowship in the American College of Dentists (a few of his many accomplishments).
Of course, what really sets Dr. Michel apart is his commitment to serving his community. In addition to providing each patient who walks through our doors with the top-tier dentistry that they deserve, he was an active member of the Historic Ward-Meade Pharmacy/MD & DDS project. He was also involved as a past Board Member at United Way of Greater Topeka and volunteers regularly at the Most Pure Heart of Mary Catholic Church!

I had an excellent experience at Dr. Michel Dentistry. From my very first phone call, the receptionist was incredibly helpful—she had all my documents sent over within minutes and even got me an appointment the next day! Jen, the hygienist, was amazing. She took the time to explain everything, which really helped ease my anxiety, and her work was top-notch from beginning to end. Dr. Michel was warm and welcoming, clearly explained my dental concerns, and provided affordable estimates along with a clear treatment plan. I've truly never been this happy to visit the dentist!

Frequently Asked Questions – Answered!
Are you looking for a new dentist near Rossville? Whether you want to get back on track with cleanings and checkups, have some restorative issues to have taken care of, or want to enhance your smile with cosmetic dentistry, we’ve got your back. Here are the answers to some of the most common questions we are asked at Michel Dental. If you don’t see the information that you’re looking for below, don’t hesitate to give us a call. We’d be happy to address your questions or concerns.
How do I get emergency dental care?
If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency, you should call 911. For any other dental emergency, you should see a dentist. Most hospital ERs and quick care clinics are not equipped to handle dental emergencies, so you are unlikely to get the treatment you need there. The best way to get in touch with us is to give us a call. This way, you can speak to a member of our staff to let them know what’s going on. They can give you further instructions and schedule you for a visit as soon as possible. Keep in mind that dental emergencies often indicate bigger dental issues, so they are a sign to get back into the practice of seeing your dentist for regular cleanings and checkups.
How do I find the best place to get dental work done?
The first step is to think about what exactly you are looking for and what’s important to you. Usually, it is some combination of welcoming your insurance, location, and credentials. You should also think about the types of services you want to utilize. For instance, if you are interested in cosmetic dentistry to enhance your smile, you should choose a dentist who offers this. Finally, you should get a feel for the practice and how they treat their patients. You can do this by checking out patient reviews and the doctor/staff bios on the dental practice’s website.
How much does a dental check-up & cleaning cost near Rossville?
A dental check-up and cleaning should begin with going over your health history and discussing any concerns that you have. It should also include a thorough exam completed by your dentist, a professional cleaning, X-rays, and an oral cancer screening. The cost can vary depending on geography and other factors, like your dental health. The average in markets across the United States is between $200 and $350. If you have dental insurance, these fees are usually covered by the insurance company.
What do you do if you can't afford a dentist?
Dentistry is all about prevention. It is affordable and offers a high value if you work with your dentist to prevent serious dental issues from occurring. One great tool that can make routine care more affordable is dental insurance. If you have access to it through your employer or by another means, this is something to take advantage of.
If dental insurance isn’t an option for you, you may want to choose a dentist who has an in-house membership plan. This allows patients to receive many of the benefits of dental insurance, like dental cleanings and discounts on treatments completed at the practice, for an annual fee.
Lastly, you could choose a dentist who accepts payments through third-party financing companies, like CareCredit. This way, you can split the cost of your treatment into manageable monthly installments with little to no interest.
