Dr. Oppenlander is inspired by the desire to help people achieve optimal health and provide them with the absolute best that dentistry has to offer.

He is a doctor of dental surgery and graduate of the University of Michigan. Over the years, Dr. Oppenlander has treated thousands of individuals, staying on the cutting edge of technology, and acquiring hundreds of hours of advanced training.

He brings his depth of experience and innate concern for overall health and comfort to each and every treatment.

Dr. Oppenlander presents a refreshingly unique and artistic approach to dentistry by combining beauty and strength in his restorations and the smiles he creates.

He is a member of AACD (American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry), AGD (American General Dentistry), ADA (American Dental Association), MDA (Michigan Dental Association), AAID (American Academy of Implant Dentistry), and KVDDS (Kalamazoo Valley District Dental Society).

Dr. Oppenlander also created Ope’s—a business and philosophy. Ope’s is about improving life... by providing the healthiest and best-tasting food possible. Every food item that Ope’s produces promotes optimum health for you, has a positive influence on our environment, and is created with the highest-quality organic ingredients without containing meat, lactose, or added fats (such as saturated or trans).

For the past 28 years, Dr. Oppenlander has studied nutrition, the implications of our dietary choices on the environment, and our food industry. From that research evolved a broader understanding of the enormous impact our food choices have on many aspects of life.

Also apparent is the need for healthier food options and more accessibility than what is currently available through fast food outlets, academic institutions, hospitals, and conventional retail outlets. So Ope’s was created to offer a new mode of quick-service restaurants, food options that we all deserve, and a new program to increase the awareness of the effect our choices have on our planet.

Ope’s creates food with a distinct philosophical base. Simply, we are committed to improving the health of our planet and the health of all life that inhabits it.
