We've taken the time to put together a great team here at White Bear Smiles, and we'd love to introduce ourselves! Since we enjoy getting to know our patients so much, we thought we'd return the favor. Each member of our team is a professional through and through, but we also like to have fun. We love what we do, and we think it shows. So the next time you come by, be sure and say hi!

White Bear Smiles has been a great experience for the whole family. When I was a kid, I was terrified of the dentist. I am thrilled that my kids are having a very different experience! The staff has been great at working with my kids (4 and 7 years), and the dentist has been a positive experience for them. they get excited if they do well and are the "Patient of the Day" and they have fun with their prizes. My daughter had to have cavities filled and even that was simple and not traumatic for her!
We also recently had an out-of-town guest who was experiencing tooth pain. White Bear Smiles got him in and immediately took care of it. My husband and I have nothing but positive feedback for the entire family!
