Third Coast Dental Group

At Third Coast Dental Group, we specialize in CEREC one-day crowns, tooth-colored bonding, implant restorations, and hygiene laser treatment. From tooth-colored fillings to porcelain veneers, our dentists are well versed in a variety of cosmetic treatments. They also perform many preventive and restorative procedures and can -- when it best serves the patient’s oral health -- refer certain cases to a network of outside specialists. Dr. Walt Franke and Dr. Chelsea Guzzo are members in good standing of the American Dental Association, the Michigan Dental Association, and the Resort District Dental Association. In addition, our doctors and staff take numerous continuing education classes in a variety of subjects in dentistry, which helps to keep us up to date with the latest and greatest technology in the field! Our dental office has a rich history as the oldest one that is still active in Benzie County. The office was started by Dr. Pate in the 1930s, and was subsequently taken over by Dr. Manz in the 1980s, before Dr. Bieszka ran it in the late '80s and early 1990s. As a husband and wife duo, the Dr. Walt and Dr. Jana Franke bought the downtown Frankfort practice in 1994 and relocated it to a new facility in 1996 at the top of the hill. Dr. Chelsea Guzzo joined the practice in 2016, and in 2018 we became Third Coast Dental Group. Dr. Jana retired from clinical dentistry in 2020, but remains deeply involved with the practice. Dr. Walt and Dr. Chelsea continue the great tradition of providing outstanding dental care and patient service in Frankfort. With a family atmosphere, highly educated and extensively trained employees, and the latest in dental technology, the goal at Third Coast Dental Group is to give our patients the ideal smiles they ask for and deserve.
