About the practice
Dr. Tim and Dr. Fuller — two dentists, one address in Wyandotte, the same values they started with. Timothy D. Andres DDS PC is a privately owned, single-location practice, not a corporate chain or DSO. That means your care is always guided by your dentist, not a business model.
Founder · Owner · Dentist
Dr. Tim founded this practice 26 years ago and has been passionate about honest, patient-centered dentistry ever since. A proud University of Michigan alumnus — both undergraduate and dental school — he brings 32 years of experience to every patient he sees.
Outside the office, Dr. Tim is a devoted family man, father of four boys and a grandfather. You’ll find him enjoying lake life, perfecting his golf game, working on woodworking projects, cheering on the Wolverines, and soaking up every moment with his family.
Dentist
Dr. Fuller’s roots with our practice run deep — Dr. Tim has known Caleb since he was a youngster, through his father who was Dr. Tim’s pastor. A few years later, their families grew even closer when Dr. Tim’s sons played soccer with Caleb’s younger brother.
The two families have known each other for nearly 25 years, so when Dr. Fuller joined our team directly after serving his country as a dentist in the United States Navy, it felt like family coming home. He handles much of the oral surgery in our office, along with the full range of dental care.
Canton born and raised, Dr. Fuller came back home and brought two very special companions with him — Lady Bug and Bob, his beloved dogs who made the journey all the way from Guantanamo Bay. Come in and meet him — we promise there’s plenty more to discover!
The story
Dr. Tim bought the practice in January 2000 and never moved. Same address, same phone, same handful of people who keep things running. Two of our hygienists were already here when he arrived — both of them long-tenured, experienced professionals who have been with us for decades. They’ve cleaned a lot of teeth.
What grew the practice was never marketing. It was patients telling friends and family some version of “they will take care of you,” and meaning it. Today we see kids whose parents came here as kids. We see grandparents and grandchildren on the same morning. That’s the metric we actually care about.
Now Dr. Fuller has joined us. He served as a dentist in the United States Navy before coming here, but more importantly he’s someone Dr. Tim has known since Caleb was about fourteen, through their shared church. The point isn’t to grow. The point is to make sure the people and the philosophy that made you stay aren’t going anywhere.
We hear it more than you might think — someone calls us after receiving a large, overwhelming treatment plan from another office. They come in for a second opinion, we do our own exam and X-rays, and more often than not? They need far less work than they were told. The relief on their faces says it all. They stay with us, we take care of them, and they send their friends. That’s the practice we’ve built — and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
How we work
At our office, that means your doctor, our treatment coordinator, and our insurance coordinator are all working with you — not for you, not at you. You leave with a plan you understand and agreed to, not a treatment list someone else decided on for you.
What we believe
01
Every decision — from the moment you make your first appointment through every step of your dental care — runs through one question: does this take care of the patient? We keep extractions, root canals, periodontal care, and aligners in-house, and when a specialist is needed, we refer you to trusted providers we know and believe in.
02
We show you what we see — on the screen, on the x-ray — in plain language. No upsell. No clinical jargon used as a barrier. Dentistry works best when it’s a conversation. Dr. Tim believes the best treatment plan is one you understand, agree with, and feel good about — so we talk it through together until we get there.
03
Our team doesn’t leave — they retire. Two of our hygienists have been with Dr. Tim since the very beginning, and the faces you meet here tend to stay. As we grow, we bring on experienced professionals who share our values — so whether you’ve been coming for years or it’s your first visit, you’ll always feel at home.
Our promise
We stand behind the quality of our work and are committed to your long-term dental health. If you ever have a concern, we want to hear it — we’ll always take the time to listen, evaluate, and do right by you.
What we can promise is honesty, compassion, and care at every visit.
