I’ve been going here for 3 or 4 years. I used to hate going to the dentist after my experiences as a teenager. O’Kane & Monssen staff make you feel so comfortable. It sounds cheesy but I actually look forward to my appointment every 6 months. My dentist is hilarious and I love catching up with my hygienist. We moved farther away but I still drive an hour to come to this office because they are THAT good!

I was truly impressed by the level of professionalism and care at O`Kane & Monssen Family Dentistry. From the moment I walked in, the entire team made me feel welcomed, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. The office is extremely well run, clean, organized, and has a very calming atmosphere. Dr. Monssen is hands down the top dentist in Minnesota. His attention to detail, knowledge, and ability to explain everything clearly immediately stood out. You can tell he truly cares about his patients and takes pride in his work. The level of professionalism and quality of care exceeded every expectation I had. The staff was equally amazing, friendly, efficient, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. It’s rare to find a dental practice that combines such high-level expertise with a personal and welcoming experience. I would highly recommend O`Kane & Monssen Family Dentistry to anyone looking for exceptional dental care. Easily a 10/10 experience.

Dr. Monssen and everyone in his office really go out of their way to make each patient feel comfortable and well taken care of. They helped me solve several complicated dental issues with true concern and care, and always strive to minimize any potential pain, both physically in my mouth and financially in my wallet as much as possible. You really feel like they see and care about each individual as if they are a friend or family member. From the dentists to the hygienists to the assistants to the front office staff and billing folks they are all very caring, helpful and friendly. I recommend them highly.

Brian and his assistant Stacy expertly prepared and fit two crowns. I feared the crown prep(grinding down two teeth to posts, but the appoint was virtually pain-free and the crowns are a perfect fit with no bumps! I highly recommend O’Kane Monnsen!!
