Fantastic hygienist & Dr. Tervola knows his stuff. I left hoping to find the same care closer to home but after a few tries I am going back. Hard to find both a good dentist and a good hygienist under the same roof!

Note billing: They have sent me a bill for all of the work, although they clearly have not received all of the insurance payments. Therefore, the bill is $300 higher than what my insurance company expects me to pay. If you go here, compare closely with your insurance's Explanation of Benefits prior to sending a check. The work they did was fine, although while they fixed everything that showed up clearly on x-rays, I still have pain in two teeth they never bothered to touch. They also did not clearly discuss which teeth needed work with me prior to doing the work, at which point I might have had the chance to note that what they planned to do did not include two of the teeth that were bothering me.

They were not unkind. However, they were not particularly friendly with me, either. I felt only sort-of welcome, and not particularly cared about as a person. Not planning to go back.

Dr. Tervola is such a good dentist that even though my family moved to Florida, we still come back to Minnesota to have him take care of our dental health. He is knowledgeable, thorough, and sensitive. I would recommend him to anyone looking for excellent care.
