Are you a dentist, dental hygienist, or dental assistant practicing in Michigan? Maintaining your Michigan dental license and complying with state regulations is essential to your dental career and ability to serve patients. The Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) and the Michigan Board of Dentistry regulate dental licenses, ensuring all dental professionals meet high standards of care and professional conduct.
At The Callahan Law Firm, we provide dedicated legal representation and guidance for dental professionals throughout Michigan. Whether you are applying for your dental license, renewing, responding to a Michigan dental board investigation, or facing license suspension or disciplinary action, our attorneys understand the complexities of dental licensing law and will help protect your professional reputation and license to practice.
Michigan Dental License Requirements & Renewal for Dentists, Hygienists, and Dental Assistants
In Michigan, obtaining and maintaining a valid dental license requires compliance with state-specific education, examination, and continuing education requirements. Dentists, dental hygienists, and dental assistants must be properly licensed by LARA to legally provide dental care in Michigan. Common licensing issues dental professionals encounter include:
-
Initial Michigan dental license application and approval
-
Renewal and reinstatement of lapsed or suspended licenses
-
Challenges with license eligibility or qualification verification
-
Meeting continuing education requirements for license renewal
-
Addressing license restrictions or modifications
Our experienced Michigan dental license attorneys assist dental professionals in navigating the licensing process efficiently, ensuring compliance with all state laws and avoiding costly delays or denials.
Defense Against Michigan Board of Dentistry Investigations & Disciplinary Actions
If you are under investigation by the Michigan Board of Dentistry or facing an administrative complaint, it’s crucial to respond promptly and correctly. Complaints often arise from patient grievances, employer reports, or regulatory audits involving issues like negligence, incompetence, improper record keeping, or violations of dental practice laws. Our legal team provides comprehensive defense for dentists, dental hygienists, and dental assistants facing:
-
Michigan Board of Dentistry investigations and inquiries
-
Administrative complaints and license disciplinary hearings
-
License suspension, revocation, or restrictions
-
Assistance gathering documentation, including personnel files and expert testimony

Negotiations to resolve complaints with minimal impact on your license
Having skilled legal representation during board investigations and disciplinary processes helps protect your Michigan dental license and professional future.
