Austin Schild, DMD

Dr. Austin Schild is born and raised in Grand Haven, Michigan. He attended Michigan State University for his Bachelor’s degree in both Human Biology and Kinesiology.

Dr. Austin knows what it’s like to be a dental patient. His extensive dental work growing up has drawn his curiosity and love for dentistry. Having braces for almost 3 years, root canals, extractions, and fillings, he felt a sense of confidence once his teeth were perfected. He promised himself to do the same for his community one day. His positive attitude, humble demeanor, and social personality work together to provide excellent patient-driven care. Dr. Schild wants to make it his goal to shine a different light on what it means to “go to the dentist”.

Since beginning practice, Dr. Austin Schild has completed several continuing education courses keeping up to date on the latest research and technology to provide optimal care, including the Pankey Institute.

When not practicing dentistry, Dr. Austin enjoys spending time with his wife, Monica, and his goldendoodle, Sonny. They met in college at Michigan State.
