Metropolitan Endodontics

Metropolitan Endodontics is a dedicated endodontic clinic serving the Twin Cities Metropolitan area in Minnesota, with an office located in Eden Prairie. Founded by Dr. Eric Grutzner in 1991, the practice specializes exclusively in endodontic procedures, which involve the treatment of the tooth pulp and surrounding tissues, commonly known as root canal therapy. The clinic prides itself on providing the highest standard of professional care in a friendly and comfortable environment. They utilize advanced technology to ensure precise diagnoses and effective treatments. This includes state-of-the-art Cone Beam CT (CBCT) imaging, which offers highly accurate 3D radiographic images with minimal radiation, and digital X-rays that significantly reduce patient exposure compared to traditional film. Additionally, they employ specialized operating microscopes, like those from Global, which provide unparalleled magnification and illumination for intricate procedures, ensuring meticulous planning and ideal results. The GentleWave® Procedure is also offered for thorough cleaning of complex root canal systems. Metropolitan Endodontics' team consists of experienced endodontic specialists, including Dr. Eric Grutzner, Dr. Tyler Peterson, and Dr. Michael Mittelsteadt. They are specialist members of the American Association of Endodontists and are committed to continuous education to stay at the forefront of their field. Their patient-centered approach emphasizes clear communication and comprehensive examination to determine the most appropriate treatment plan. They offer online patient registration and provide detailed information about what to expect during a visit, including guidelines for office visits and necessary documentation. Beyond their clinical practice, the endodontists at Metropolitan Endodontics are involved in the dental community and community service. Dr. Grutzner has served as President of the Minnesota Association of Endodontics, lectured at the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry, and contributed to dental literature. Both Dr. Grutzner and Dr. Mittelsteadt have a strong commitment to community service, including donating services to the Union Gospel Mission of St. Paul, participating in Give Kids a Smile Day, and the Donated Dental Services Program.
