Patient Testimonials

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!

I cracked a tooth while traveling and called White Bear Smiles for an appointment as soon as I returned. Unfortunately, I needed to have the tooth removed, and decided to go ahead with an implant to replace it. Before this experience, I had only received routine preventative care there, which was always excellent. 

Just yesterday, I had the final installation of my new tooth, and it fits perfectly! It feels completely normal - honestly, I wouldn't even know it was an implant. 

If you're considering a new dentist, I highly recommend White Bear Smiles. My experiences there have been consistently first-rate, and it's clear that the staff genuinely enjoys their work, which makes all the difference.

Best dental office I've ever been to. Staff is incredibly nice. Facilities are state of the art.

My experience with White Bear Smiles is outstanding every time I have an appointment or needed care. They go out of their way to make my visit positive and are professional in every way. They are the best regardless of who I am dealing with in the organization and strive to be the best they can.

Beautiful space and calming environment with exceptionally compassionate, gentle, and knowledgeable hygienists and doctors.

I was looking for a dentist where we could go together as our family grows. They are all personable people. They want to get to know you. They want to make your experience great. In fact, they tailor to you to make sure you're comfortable. Right now, it's just my husband and me, but I have no doubt it'll be a great place for our future kiddos too, someday. 

- Emily R

Highly recommend! My 6-year-old daughter needed 2 fillings done. They made her feel so comfortable and told her all the steps along the way. I was so amazed with how my daughter handled it. My daughter said she can't wait to go back to the dentist! Highly recommend for kiddos and adults!!!

I had recently broken my front tooth which needed an expedited repair before I traveled overseas for some public appearances. I was seen right away, as a new patient , and got checkup and cleaning done at the same time. So kind, thoughtful, careful and thorough. I really appreciated the care, and am glad to now call White Bear Smiles my place for dental work.

My entire family goes to White Bear Smiles and we couldn't be happier with them. I have an 8-year-old with autism and for years he struggled with the dentist, even pediatric dentists that "specialize" with kids with ASD. The hygienists and doctors at WBS made him feel comfortable almost immediately and took their time with him. It was his first time he ever finished an exam with no tears or screaming. We can now go in and do a general cleaning with no issues and no added time. They are truly amazing.

Amazing dental hygienists, and a great dentist! I needed a wisdom tooth removal and multiple fillings. The staff worked well together and it was completely painless. Definitely cured my dental anxiety! 

- Dan

Everyone you encounter at White Bear Smiles is so friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. They do quality work and make people feel comfortable. We recently switched our family from a bigger dental environment and my kids LOVED their first visit at White Bear Smiles. They said they never want to go back to the other dental office. Thanks for making the dentist a not so scary place for our family!

 

I have been coming here for years and they are so amazing with my kids too. I got my children's appointments mixed up and they still were able to fit us in that day. Best place to go for your dental needs! 

- Chrissy

From walking in, to hygienist, to dentist, you're taken care of and walked through each step with compassion and expertise. If you're looking to make a switch, look no further. Thank you, WB Smiles, for keeping me comfortable and cared for each and every visit.

White Bear Smiles has been taking care of my family for 25 years! They provide top quality professional service along with state-of-the-art tools and equipment. Their technicians are gentle yet thorough and Drs. Anderson and Swift are the best in their profession! 

- Vicki S

I recently had a dental procedure performed by Dr. Swift at WBS and was absolutely blown away. The professional demeaner Dr. Swift conveys is further backed up by her skill and talent in the field of dentistry. Her ability combined with the choregraphed manner of both her and her dental assistant has convinced me that I have found my new dental practice.

From the time I got there to the time I left nothing but friendly staff. It was a routine check up but they found a cavity. They were able to fix it in the same visit instead of me booking a separate appointment. Much appreciated!!

Everyone at White Bear Smiles is fantastic!  Both dentists really know their stuff, so you can't go wrong seeing either Dr. Swift or Dr Anderson, and everyone on staff, from the front desk to the folks that actually work on teeth, are always so kind, and so helpful.

They also have an excellent membership program available for people that don't have dental insurance, so it's easy to get your teeth taken care of without breaking the bank! 

I can not speak more highly of this office. They are the entire package! The front desk is organized, kind, and helpful! The doctor has earned my trust with every cleaning and procedure. He is also very personable, knowledgeable, and very thorough. The assistants and hygienists feel like your best friends and are a joy to your day.

Another call out is billing can be so complicated. Does insurance cover this? What am I responsible for? Gosh, that's expensive, etc...BUT here, they do all the leg work for you and make it super clear and honor what they say. They also work with you if that's where you are at.

Lastly, they always make time for me if I need to get in and get something done. Scheduling is easy and accommodating. I recently was at another dental office for invisalign before they started offering it at White Bear Smiles, and they were going to complete a crown for me in 3 visits, where White Bear Smiles did it in 1 visit and also 2 weeks sooner.

Stop searching. This is the Dental Office you want!

Alisha D.

Amazing doctors, amazing staff! As someone without dental insurance they have a great program to keep up on regular visits without breaking the bank. Not a pressure practice. Comfortable, clean and modern environment. 10/10 would recommend!

White Bear Smiles is wonderful! Very friendly, knowledgeable, and amazing staff. I was nervous as it's been awhile, but they put me at east right away and took excellent care of my son and I. I couldn't recommend them more! Go THERE and take care of yourself! :)

Dr's Anderson and Swift are Great!  I've been at WHITE BEAR SMILES for about 20 - some years, along with my kids, who as adults now continue to get their dental care at WB Smiles.   LOVE THEM and all of their Great Staff!!!

I just talked to my Dad about his appointment today, since I was unable to accompany him, and he said it went great! He is so impressed with Dr. Anderson and the staff, including Jenny today & Dana last time, as well as the front desk and everyone he encounters at White Bear Smiles. He is so happy that we moved him to your wonderful dental clinic. He said he didn't really trust the people that worked on his teeth before, but has total trust in Dr. Anderson and staff.

Thanks for taking such good care of my Dad!

-Sherry P.

I hadn't been to the Dentist for several years after a couple of bad experiences. My wife convinced me to give White Bear Smiles a try , after being a lifelong patient and having nothing but the best things to say. I'm so glad I did! The whole staff is welcoming and a pleasure to interact with. My wife and I drive all the way from Prior Lake and it is totally worth it! I can't imagine a better dentist experience.

I went in for the first time today for a cleaning and a check up. The facility is very comfortable , and everyone was so nice and I was very impressed with all the high-tech equipment. I went with their Membership Program because it's a great deal and I felt very well taken care of.

I highly recommend White Bear Smiles. Since I became a patient at White Bear Smiles several years ago, I have a much better understanding of my oral health. Dr Swift and Dr Anderson genuinely care for their patients. They take the time to thoroughly explain your situation, answer questions, and deliver high-quality care. The White Bear Smiles staff are always friendly and accommodating - I enjoy catching up with them at each visit. the clinic itself is beautiful, modern, and very inviting.

This office is very impressive. Their work is of the utmost quality, and it is clear that they are about their patients. It is impressive how they have invested in the latest technology, and use it to work diligently and quickly. I'd recommend this dentist to anyone.

-John F.

I've been going to White Bear Smiles for more than 10 years now, and I've never had a bad experience there! The staff is professional, friendly and the doctors are both wonderful! I highly recommend this clinic if you are looking for a great dentist in the White Bear area!

White Bear Smiles is Great! Dr Swift is awesome and the rest of the staff is professional and really nice! The office is nicely updated and very modern. I can't say enough good things about this place!

"Love the competency and organization of this office. They do an impeccable job with letting you know of any costs prior to procedures being done. The dental staff does a wonderful, gentle job on cleanings and Dr. Anderson is a dentist to be trusted."

"We have been to many dentists over the years and Dr. Anderson has by far been the best of them. Everything is so different, from the staff to the equipment. My husband had a cavity filled and even that process was better than other dentists. We actually look forward to going to the dentist now. I would recommend this office to anyone, in fact we do! I've told all my friends to switch."

"I would like to thank you and your staff for the exceptional service and treatment I received during the process of getting my new “choppers”. From my first visit for an estimate, to extraction, temporary denture, final denture and fitting, your honesty and caring were superb. I feel you are a great dentist, but also you have selected a staff to your own high standards. Thank you to all. Sincerely,"

"Our daughter, was in for her first dental check-up right after her third birthday. She was very excited to go see the dentist and to have her teeth tickled. :) Thanks to your staff, she had a great time and was not afraid at all. They did a fantastic job explaining what was happening and letting her touch the instruments. It makes it easier for us as parents, as well as those working on them, to have our children enjoy doctor visits and we just wanted to say thank you and keep up the good work!"

"I was impressed with my first visit with Dr. Paul. Everything was explained clearly, with different options for me to consider. No pressure on what I should do. The follow-up treatment was excellent, and his team were all very friendly and professional. I would definitely recommend White Bear Smiles."

"I broke a capped tooth and was able to get in that day and have it taken care of. This was very important to me because I was leaving on a trip 2 days later."

"Having been a client of Dr. Anderson for two years, I declare his care to detail and that of his staff to be extraordinary. He replaced a denture which had been a problem and did a fine job. His service is reflected in the beautiful facility that he has created and maintains. Each patient is accepted almost as a family member and is so treated."

"I was in need of emergency care and was taken care of immediately. The staff is always most helpful and pleasant and Dr. Anderson took care of my needs right away. I know that I can always count on this office to do the right thing. I am most grateful."

"Dr. Anderson and his staff go above and beyond my expectations. In fact I felt rested after my cat nap in the chair and went to a very productive afternoon feeling no after effects. Truly, I’m always inspired after a visit, because you all project such an upbeat, happy to be here attitude!"

"I look forward to visiting Dr. Anderson and his staff because they are the best and friendliest in their field. Thank you for making something I hate to do or go to a nice experience."

"Since coming to live in the area from England, I can have nothing but praise for Dr. Anderson and his colleagues. Every effort is made to make one feel comfortable whilst they do the necessary, and they have made me a lot less nervous about dental visits."

"Dr. Anderson and his team provide customer service which exceeds expectations everytime. I have been a patient for more than 20 years and every visit has been pleasant, efficient and completely comfortable. What strikes me most is the team’s dedication to their patients’ experience. Even when injecting pain killer, Dr. Anderson numbs the injection site and then massages the medication in. I remember receiving painful novocaine injections in the past, but I’ve never had one from Dr. Anderson. During each step of any procedure, the staff explains what to expect and checks in with you along the way to make sure you’re doing OK. For one long procedure I was offered a movie menu, but they finished before the movie was done. When I returned for the follow up, my movie was cued up to the precise spot where I’d left it. Who pays that kind of attention to detail? Dr. Paul Anderson, that’s who! He pays the same kind of attention to your dental health. I have sent many friends and family members over the years and they have become Dr. Anderson fans as well. Trust him. You’ll be healthier and happier when it’s time to see your dentist."
 

"Just had an emergency and everyone I came in contact with was exceptionally helpful/ Patty, Kathy and Laura were very patient and helpful. Dr. Anderson’s calm manner put me at ease and he was able to take care of the issue for me even though I am sure his schedule was already full. Thank you everyone at White Bear Smiles!"

"After hearing so many of my friends talking about White Bear Smiles, I thought I would give Dr. Anderson’s office a call for my next dental cleaning. I recently had that cleaning and now I know why so many of my neighbors and friends recommend White Bear Smiles. Dr. Anderson and his staff went far beyond my expectations. Dr. Anderson was very thorough with my exam and explained to me some of my dental issues I have in words I could understand. With money being what it is these days, he also explained what needed to be fixed right away and what treatment could wait. I appreciated knowing ahead of time the costs and what my insurance would pay. Dr. Anderson’s hygienist and assistant took the time to show me better ways to brush and floss my teeth, which now I do everyday! Thank you White Bear Smiles for giving me a new dental home!!"

"Dr. Anderson’s office is the best. He is approachable, kind, and excellent with his work. I’d especially recommend him (and his team) to anyone who has had previous negative experiences at the dentist."

"My 2 girls (5 & 8) and I had our eanings last week. The girls actually love going to the dentist because of Dr. Anderson and his great dental hygienists and staff. They are always on time and thorough. They are great with kids. Dr. Anderson is a fantastic dentist. We look forward to our visits."

"I was very impressed with the professionalism, of Dr. Anderson and his staff. They were clear with dental instructions and information. The office was clean and organized. The equipment was updated with the latest dental technology. I look forward to returning in six months for my next checkup."

"I wanted to send a big **THANK YOU** for seeing our daughter so quickly last month when her front tooth got knocked. And I truly appreciate your consideration, Dr. Anderson, with our dental insurance conversion hassles. It is because of people like you all, that this is such a fantastic community!
Thank you again,"

"We want to thank you so very much for the care you gave to our son. We appreciate that you came in on your day off and your daughter's birthday to help us. It was especially your willingness to come right in that really impressed us. Many would consider this a part of the job, but the way you handled it puts you above and beyond the rest.
You were highly recommended to us and we truly know the reasons why!!! Your extra efforts have made a difference in our lives. Thank you for the great care that you have given our family."

"Just want to let you know how pleased I am with the work you have done with my teeth. I feel so much better about my smile.
Also, I love the atmosphere of your office and the personal level on which you operate.
It's the trust you can build with a dentist and staff like yourselves that will keep me coming back for years!"

"Thank you for the beautiful job you did on my front teeth. I feel like smiling all the time.
You do great work."

"It is with heart felt thanks that I extend this greeting and wish you Christmas blessings. I have received such wonderful care over the years. You are gentle, assured, skillful, non-judgmental and skillful! Your “bedside manner” couldn't be improved upon. You are the best! Thank you for keeping me together and providing me with such wonderful care. Merry Christmas!"

"I had to send this, just to tell you how much I appreciate what a wonderful dentist you really are. I'm very happy with my teeth, and my smile! And your good care!
Thank you,"

"Thanks to all of you for the wonderful care you have given me and my family. It's not just the beautiful work you all do but the many special touches that make going to the dentist a true pleasure! See you in September!"

"I just want to thank you for your patience and understanding with me in all my visits to you so far. Although I am still very anxious about coming to the dentist, I am pleased with the results of your work. I am able to eat pain-free for the first time in many years. I really appreciate your explaining what you are doing and taking such gentle care with me. Thanks also to all your staff. They are all very caring and make me feel more comfortable while I'm there. Keep up the good work.
Sincerely,"
