Holistic dentistry is a comprehensive philosophy that considers the ways in which your oral health influences the health of the rest of your body. It is clear that your nutrition, sleep, and breathing habits can influence the mouth and the rest of the body. Rather than just treating your symptoms, our aim is to inform you about the cause of the problem, and offer treatment.
Our holistic model of care integrates traditional dental, biological, and natural treatment and education to promote total body wellness. Did you know that the proper development and maintaince of the oral cavity has been shown to lessen one's likelihood of diseases like high blood pressure, allergies, and sleep apnea?

Amazing dentist office!! I always feel like I am treated as a friend rather than simply as a customer, no matter who I interact with in their office. They are also very knowledgeable and will help you understand how you can achieve improved oral health naturally, without chemicals or pointless procedures. I don’t usually pick favorites, but La is the best!!

Dr. Yang is very thorough, professional and gentle. Her delicate hands are much appreciated and matches her bedside manner. I’m SOOO glad I found this dentist office. I’ve had a lot of dental work done throughout my life and the experience I’ve had at Sedation Implant Dental has by far been the best !

I have gone to this dentist for the past few years and was very happy with it ... until today. I usually see Dr. Russ who is wonderful and I have zero complaints about him. That said ... I will not go back after how poorly I was treated by Dr. Anderson today.
I first saw Dr. Anderson last week because I had a crown that was bothering me. He made it clear he felt my tooth should be pulled because the tooth had a root canal and he is very opposed to root canals. He feels the infection in a root canal never goes away. I understood and appreciate his viewpoints as a naturopath, but there was no visible

First, Dr. Russ Hagen is absolutely wonderful. He is personable, professional, and does an excellent job every time I have visited him.
Unfortunately, the clinic has done a very poor job of enforcing face masks. During my last visit, the receptionist was not wearing a mask. Worst of all, a doctor was walking around the hallway without a mask on.
This really deteriorates ones sense of safety when sitting in an enclosed office space with an open mouth for an extended period of time. With the amount of foot traffic these small areas get, it is very likely that patients are exposed to COVID-19 in

My daughter and I have been patients for 10 plus years and had been happy with service provided that was in our network. The office discontinued participation in our network earlier this year, and they did not provide notice of this change at time of scheduling or at appointments that they were no longer in our network and that we would have greater financial responsibility. I feel they should have let us know this prior to incurring additional service costs. Because of this, I would recommend that people treat elsewhere.

I lived in the Twin Cities for many years. In 2013, I moved to South Dakota, and this is how good Dr. Anderson is: I would take the Jefferson Lines bus from South Dakota to St. Paul and back just to be seen at Dr. Anderson's dental clinic.
I now live in Oregon, and traveling that far isn't really feasible, unless I were to win the lottery. I can't seem to find an ethical dentist here.
Bottom line is, I recommend Sedation & Implant Dentistry. If I still lived anywhere near St. Paul, I would continue my dental care there.

My wife went to a consultation appointment with Dr. Anderson and I went in and sat with her (she panics at the dentist). During the entire appointment Dr. Anderson would only talk to me, he wouldn't even look at my wife. When she went in for her first procedural appointment, Dr. Anderson didn't say a word to her, not 'hello' or anything. My wife tried to raise some of her concerns, but was quickly brushed aside. Then Dr. Anderson tried to start the procedure before her sedation kicked in. The whole reason we went to this clinic was because of the sedation. My wife panicked

I have been going to this clinic for over 10 years. I have always thought that Senior Dr. Anderson and Dr. Barry were great. I appreciate that they take more of a holistic approach to dental health. Recently I had a rather negative experience due to a temp dental assistant who literally had no idea what she was doing other than the cleaning part itself. My appointment was at least 20 minutes late to begin and then because she didn't understand the computer system or where any supplies were located a simple cleaning ended up taking forever. I was frustrated after dealing with her so by

As a dentophobe who had avoided the dentist for many years, I was terrified to see a dentist when I knew I absolutely had to. Everyone I interacted with on staff at Sedation & Implant Dentistry was so wonderful, accommodating, non judgmental and genuinely kind.
The receptionist who took my initial hysterical call recommended a hygienist based on my fears and preferences.
La, my hygienist was so calm, patient, supportive and gentle. She was incredible at communicating and checking in with me throughout the visit, letting me know what she was doing and making sure I was as comfortable as

I recently moved here from Chicago where I was seeing a mercury-free holistic dentist. She recommended this place. I was glad to see this was close to where I live and decided to give it a shot after reading good reviews on Google+. When I arrived, I had no trouble with parking because they have a lot in front. The outside of the building isn't very impressive, but the clinic itself is modern and lovely. My hygienist (I think her name was Lao? Ahh sorry about the spelling!) and she was sweet and gentle on my teeth. I saw Dr. Anderson and he was great. My appointment was relatively quick because

Despite moving away from the twin cities, I make a point to go to this dentist for a cleaning and check-up every time I go home for a visit. I've tried other hygienists and nobody is as thorough and gentle as Dr. Russ. And, Dr. Karl is knowledgeable and genuinely concerned about my overall health, not just my teeth and gums.

After waiting a half hour after my scheduled appointment, I went up and asked for my highly personal thermography pictures back. They couldn't even find them. I was so disappointed after sending over my x-rays, thermography and having spent a great deal of time answering their questions on- line and they were in no way prepared for my visit. My expectations were that they put together my file before my arrival and keep me up to date, if they are running late, via phone before I arrived or in person while I was sitting in the waiting room. Never saw the dentist.

I have gone to Sedation and Implant Dentistry now for two visits and I have had 4 amalgams removed and all I can say is Dr. Karl Anderson and his staff are amazing! They have been so patient with me and my difficulty having work done. That is dissipating now that I am no longer receiving amalgam fillings. I had at my worst point 16 teeth filled with Amalgam the last of which was put in my mouth in 2006. At that point it was so painful to go to the dentist. I thought that pain was normal and was told that by many dentists. I never knew any better because all I have ever had was amalgam restorations

I am shocked at the lack of professionalism I was met with at this office. Dr. Anderson is a competent dentist, but my service experience was FAR from superior.
I asked for a treatment plan TWICE but never received one. I didn't find out the cost of services or even how many fillings had been completed until 2 MONTHS after my last appt when I finally received my final invoice and still had to call for an itemized list of services.
When I complained to Dr. Anderson, I was met with indifference. He just asked, "What is it you WANT?" He offered to remove 1 disputed fee (of 2) and

I went to one dentist from the point I had teeth through my 20s. With changes in insurance and residence, it was no longer practical to go there anymore. I went through a prolonged period of no dentists/bad dentists until finally stumbling upon Sedation & Implant Dentistry a mere 3 miles from my front door.
I have been going here for several years now and have experienced everything from routine cleanings to crowns. They have fixed bad work performed by others and sent me to specialists when they couldn't handle a one off that needed help. Yes, I have horrible teeth. Thanks for

I'm a former patient there, I loved the staff, super friendly and fun! I had extensive work done, mostly crowns ect.. No implants, but! The crowns that were put on by an associate of dr Anderson's, always left a ride of old tooth showing, I even would get floss caught on it! I'd say something on my next visit and they always said " we'll keep an eye on it"! Well, now I've had FOUR CROWNS that cost over 5000 replaced!! And it's no cheaper now! And all the cerek or what ever crowns have had to be replaced as well. Just a heads up! If you get a crown, you shouldn

We don't have a holistic dentist in Rochester, MN but an hour drive to get rid of my mercury amalgam fillings under the care of someone who truly understands the impact of toxic materials is worth my time and money. There aren't that many dentists in the State of MN that are holistic, maybe 8, and the reason I chose Dr. Karl Anderson is because he is a member of the IAOMT, his website is easy to navigate, he has equipment to preserve as much tooth as possible and to protect patient and staff of mercury vapors, his prices are reasonable, he has a Masters in gum disease, and he's attuned
