Skyway Dental Clinic
Fredrick Schilling, D.D.S. started Skyway Dental Clinic in 1982 and was joined in 2017 by Maggie Craven Thompson, D.D.S. Skyway Dental Clinic is a comprehensive and caring dental home for families and working professionals in and around downtown Minneapolis. Dr. Fred and Dr. Maggie are proud to be part of the large and bustling downtown community but their approach to dentistry features more personal touch.

Dr. Fred and Dr. Maggie believe spending focused, one-on-one time with our patients is important for fostering strong patient-provider relationships. We are committed to patient education and our goal is to empower each person who comes through the door to be active, informed participants in decisions regarding their dental health care.
Services
We avoid the chemicals used in the traditional developing process, so it is better for our environment. We have proudly incorporated the use of intra-oral cameras in our office. These tiny cameras are placed inside our patients' mouths to take a close up picture of the teeth and gums. This picture can then be displayed on the flat screen monitors in our treatment rooms and discussed with our patients.
We offer a variety of cleanings and gum treatments to fit all of our patients' needs. Some patients just need a standard cleaning, where others may require more extensive deep cleanings. Our Dental Hygienists are trained and equipped to treat most patients right in our office and rarely need to refer to a specialist.
Tooth-colored restorations, also known as composites, are silver-free, mercury-free and BPA-free fillings placed to restore your tooth's natural appearance. Composite restorations are perfect for fixing small to medium sized cavities, chips, and broken teeth. They are more durable, less invasive, and less temperature sensitive than standard silver fillings.
Topical anesthetic is applied with a cotton swab on the gums to reduce the discomfort of an injection and to ensure that our patients are as comfortable as possible when receiving local anesthetic. Local anesthetic is the numbing agent injected into a specific area of the mouth to prevent discomfort during dental procedures.
Missing teeth can make simple tasks like smiling and chewing seem intimidating. At Skyway Dental Clinic in Minneapolis, Dr. Fred Schilling or Dr. Maggie Craven Thompson and a dedicated team of experts can help restore your natural smile with support from a dental bridge. Call or book an appointment online today for more information on how a dental bridge can improve your smile, so you can look and feel your best.

Prompt and efficient as always. Fred's been my dentist for 40 years, and yes, that means he's old.

I am highly disappointed in the quality of service and the professionalism of the staff at Skyway Dental. My husband decided to start going there and the experience has been ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE and I truly do think they need to be reported to the Better Business Bureau. They try to upsell you on services and are not equipped to do even basic work. Dr Maggie Craven Thompson as well as Dr Fred Schilling as the worst dentists inThe Twin cities. My husband has been in pain for over a month now due to Dr Fred Shilling upselling him on a filling. He had had the silver fillings in the past, which Dr Maggie

This is so far the worst dentist I have seen in my entire life. I travelled and lived in 4 continents and I have never met a dentist with such poor customer service and lack of professionalism until I met Dr. Fred. His strategy focuses mainly on upselling you services that you don’t need or exaggerate minor/no issues to pressure you to go back and invest in their overpriced yet poor quality services. I have had different bad experiences with these guys, but the worst one is when Dr. Fred pressured me to restore 3 teeth that were healthy, just had silver filling (never caused any pain for the

I was in excruciating pain and needed one of my bottom molar tooth pulled. I called over 6 dentist and none had same day openings, as I was scrolling continuing my search this dentist came up. I called immediately and spoke to a woman who could hear how much pain I was in, she handed the phone to Doctor Schilling's. This angel of a man heard my cry, pain and suffering and gave me a same day appointment. I went in staff was excellent and so was he. I loved how much he was willing to help me out as well as educate me along the way. My extraction was quick without any pain. Thanks to all of the

It was my first time visiting this office and Dr. Fred was GREAT! He was very professional and sprinkle in some dental jokes during my cleaning. The ladies up front was very nice especially Shaina. I would recommend their office.

Dr Schilling and his team make me feel completely comfortable and at ease in thier office. I had the most detailed exam and cleaning I have ever had.
Even though I moved offices from downtown, I will still see Dr Shilling and his team for my dental care.

If you need just a cleaning to extensive work, Dr. Schilling is THE BEST dentist to see for your families needs. I am AFRAID of the dentist, I am NOT afraid of Dr. Fred Schilling and here is why: if you need special care, a shoulder to cry on, ( I cried today and which point he took over for a few minutes). I had a "bad" mouth, and he has taken such great care of mine, if I can do this, you can! He does provide Nitro and other ways to offer you that special care we all need. From kids to adults, he will never judge you but he will offer solutions and work with you. If I wanted to get
