This place is lovely and the doctor is knowledgable and friendly. I give 4 stars only because it was not at all explained to me what to expect at my first appointment. i have been a new patient before and i have never experienced anything like this. No cleaning, but i spent 2 hours getting scanned by state-of-the-art machines and wowed by the thorough attention to detail of the doctor. she swings a big tv in my face with a 3D full color model they made of my teeth and points out all the parts she recommends i fix and yeah my mouth looked hecka gnarly on the big screen! immediately after they shove a super nice parting gift in my hands and pass me off to the closers. Fast talking women with amazing teeth encouraged and i have to say pressured me to prepay for everything and book the appointments right then. i did! even as i recognized the business model they adapted from the time share industry. In the end I wanna keep going and i will get that crown eventually but i dont really approve of that tactic.

I have had wonderful experiences visiting this dental office. I love the windows, situated just so that you can look out at the clouds passing by while you have your teeth cleaned. Every hygienist I’ve had has been kind and proficient. And the front staff is so welcoming!

Entire staff is friendly and helpful. They are quick and efficient and professional. I love the reminders prior to the appointment because we are all human and forget things. Always leave having learned something new about my teeth, mouth or habits. And also reminded each time of what to maintain in order to keep these puppies healthy!

Absolutely the best dentist in MN. I've got to them for general dental care (which is always the best service) as well as Invisalign and getting a routine down for whitening my teeth the most efficiently (at home) in preparation for my wedding. 10/10 could not recommend this place enough!!
