It's always a little nerve racking having to go to the dentist. I have to say everyone at Gundersen Dental are friendly and professional. My last visit was for a cleaning but one tooth was bothering me and Doctor Gundersen took extra time to work on it, amazing it's feeling better and he new exactly what needed to be done.

It’s been years since I went to the dentist. When I called in for an appointment the office staff was incredibly helpful and very nice. They do ask that if you are a new patient that you do a quick 30-45 minute new patient evaluation, and they were able to schedule that with-in just a couple of days from my first call. Everything was very easy and the staff is incredibly friendly. Looking forward to my cleaning even though I hate the scraping. Update: had my cleaning today.

Was absolutely fantastic. They were quick and focused. But still had some time to talk and explain what was going on. I felt like she had taken a vested interest in making sure I left with a great smile and that I was set k. The right path to better oral health. Can’t wait to head on back for my next cleaning thank you!!!!

I continue to be amazed at the excellence of care I experience every time I visit. I am a difficult patient as I have dental anxiety, sensitive teeth, and chronic pain. I was in a pain flareup, and I knew it was going to be a rough visit even just for a cleaning and xrays, but the doctor and his team have intentionally built trust with me, and I felt able to come to my appointment. They turned off the overhead lights to make me more comfortable, and didn't try to engage me in conversation as they normally would which was perfect, since I was able to just breathe and get through.

Two words to describe how they treat people with invisible issues: dignity and compassion. Gundersen dental is the reason I can smile with confidence. I have lost a lot of teeth due to prior poor dental hygiene and fear of treatment. But now I know I will get the care I need in a reasonable amount of time, for a reasonable cost, and that care will be excellent! I will continue to trust Gundersen Dental to partner with me for a healthy smile.

Thank you so much, Dr. Arne and staff!
