Debra A. Chinonis, DDS
I grew up in the Flint area, completed my Bachelors of Science Degree at the University of Michigan-Flint and earned my Doctorate in Dental Surgery from the prestigious University of Michigan School of Dentistry, Ann Arbor in 1980. My original office opened in Flint in 1980 and I relocated to Grand Blanc in 1990. I love what I do and plan to continue practicing for many years. I am also fluent in American Sign Language.
I am the type of dentist that is dedicated to go the extra mile to make sure you and your family are comfortable and happy with your treatment. Every year I exceed the requirements for continuing education, well over 40 hours. Classes allow me to be current in all the latest technology and improvements regarding your dental treatment. I was also voted Best Dentist in Grand Blanc 2013 and 2014.
When I am not at the office, you may find me enjoying the lake or heading up north with my husband, Dennis. We have three grown children living in the Grand Blanc area. I am passionate about my family and my church, Assumption Greek Orthodox Church. Cooking, gardening, riding on our pontoon boat, snowmobiling and traveling are a few of my interests.
I am a member of: American Dental Association, Michigan Dental Association, Genesee District Dental Association, Past President of Genesee District Dental Association, Past Chairman of Peer Review, and Delta Sigma Delta Dental Fraternity.

Vicki, RDH
Hello, I’m Vicki, a Registered Dental Hygienist working with Dr. Chinonis in
a fabulous Cosmetic and Family Dental Practice. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Dr. Chinonis for 40 years.
I began as a dental assistant then continued into dental hygiene graduating in 1984 with honors from Mott
