Dr. Charles F. Munk and Associates, Orthodontic Specialists in Clarkston has welcomed another member to their team. It is none other than Dr. Munk’s son, Dr. Charlie Munk.

“I am looking forward to working with my dad,” Dr. Charlie Munk said. “But probably I am most looking forward to coming back to Clarkston. I grew up in Clarkston, graduated from Clarkston High School and have lots of family and friends in the area. It will be good to give back to the community.”

Dr. Charlie Munk received his bachelor’s degree from Michigan State University before attending the University of Michigan Dental School. He did his year and a half residency at the University of Detroit Mercy.

“It just hit me one day that I wanted to go to dental school and I wanted to work with my dad,” Dr. Charlie Munk said.

His father couldn’t be happier with his son’s decision. Dr. Charles Munk has been a staple in the Clarkston Community for 30 years.

“I have raised a family here and have really enjoyed the community. The community has been very good to me. The people have been good to us and we have been good to them. Every year we get busier and busier,” Dr. Charles Munk said. “I am planning on continuing to practice for several more years.”

Dr. Munk and his office are very involved in charitable activity throughout the Clarkston area. Dr. Munk has been a big supporter of SCAMP, the Junior Optimist Club and the Make-A-Wish Foundation. He has also been particularly supportive of Clarkston Schools by contributing to the Clarkston Schools Instrumental Music Association and the new soccer field which was recently built.

However, Dr. Munk’s charitable work is not only in Clarkston. Dr. Munk recently traveled to Africa to help teach oral hygiene.

Dr. Munk has grown his practice as the Clarkston community has grown. He started off with just one assistant and is proud to say he now employs 12 assistants.

With the addition of Dr. Charlie Munk, the practice will have the best of both worlds. Dr. Charles Munk will help his son with his vast work experience and knowledge gathered over the years. On the other side of the coin, Dr. Charlie Munk brings knowledge of the new cutting edge technology available in orthodontics.

“It is going to be an excellent blend with him and I working together. He has a lot of knowledge and hands on experience working with some of these new technologies,” Dr. Charles Munk said. “It will be great to work with my son. We are all very excited about it.”

Dr. Charles Munk and Associates have already made great strides with new technology. One of the new technologies they use is Invisalign which is a revolutionary way to straighten teeth without braces. It uses a series of nearly undetectable aligners instead of brackets and wires.

This breakthrough alternative has been developed exclusively for adult and mature teen patients.

The doctor has also introduced Dolphin Imaging into his practice.

Dr. Charles Munk also has an office in Oxford. A warm and friendly atmosphere is provided in which to receive treatment. For patient convenience, evening and Saturday appointments are available. Dr. Munk and his associates will do their very best to work with patients with special scheduling needs.

“We are always available. We are flexible,” Dr. Charles Munk said.
