From tooth extractions and grafting to evaluations and emergency visits, we cover a broad range of dental care. Not everyone has dental insurance - and trips to the dental office can be expensive.
Maintaining good oral health begins with the preventative service we offer, such as teeth cleaning, VisiLite oral cancer screening, and sealants. It is recommended by both the American Dental Association and the Academy of General Dentistry that children be seen within 6 months of their first tooth or by 12 months of age.
Cosmetic tooth care such as teeth whitening and veneers not only enhances your oral appearance; they can also help protect your teeth. This is the ultimate in cosmetic dentistry. Invisalign are clear braces that will straighten teeth without the brackets and wires. The best part is that you take them out to eat and drink and no one knows you are straightening your teeth.
Replacing damaged or missing teeth has become a much easier and less painful process recently. Whether you are replacing a single tooth with a dental implant or are in need of a full set of dentures, we have the ability to meet your needs. We offer the entire implant experience in our office from treatment planning, to placing, and restoring the final teeth.

I have avoided my regular cleanings for years now. I am very anxious about going to the dentist. I finally faced my fears and worked with this clinic. Everyone there was pleasant and professional. I had to have some "catch up work" done and and it was handled with compassion. My experience was pleasent enough that I made my regular cleaning appointment, and will keep it. I highly recommend this office of professional, skilled and compassionate people.

Im currently doing my orthodontic treatment with Dr. Van Guilder. Christina and staff are all very friendly, personable, and know exactly what they’re doing. On top of the amazing staff and services provided, their prices are the best I’ve seen around! They’ve been so helpful every step of my journey! Absolutely recommend them.

I'm a brand new client at Dakota Family and both of my visits have been great! Staff are all very personable including all at the front desk, hygienist, and Dr. VanGuilder. They made a dental plan for my cracked tooth and broke down pricing very clearly and then fixed the problem quickly and professionally! Would definitely recommend them!

I have a very complicated dental treatment, where many dental experts would shy away from taking on my case if they had a choice to do so. I was blessed to become Dr. Van Guilder's patent four years ago and after consulting with her about taking on my dental cosmetic work she jumped at the challenge. Dr. Van Guilder is very knowledgeable at her dental craft on ever level and I am amazed at my dental transformation in the making.🙏

I have had such awful and painful experiences with dentists in the past that I have neglected going. Found this place by reading ratings and I am beyond happy! From the first phone call, I was thrilled by how nice and not judge they were. My first appt was a deep clean, and my second was preparing for implants. I felt absolutely NO pain, and coming here makes me actually excited to go to the dentist. So smart, caring, and knowledgeable. I’m the biggest baby ever when it comes to the dentist, and she and her staff have forever altered that opinion. 100% recommend!!

I had the best cleaning experience today All the girls are awesome and very kind. I got ideas how to keep my teeth cleaner and stronger. Thank you to the awesome hygienist who cleaned my teeth and for the girls behind the desk that were very kind. And don't forget the Amazing dentist that makes me very calm about going to the dentist.

I LOVE Dakota Family Dentistry! I moved here a couple of years ago and stumbled upon DFD from a Google search and I'm so glad I did. Everyone is so friendly and accommodating. I'm always impressed with my hygienist, Susanne. She is such a straight shooter and tells me exactly what I need to be doing differently- or what I'm doing right. And my teeth have never felt cleaner!

The first thing I noticed when I visited Dakota Family Dentistry for a root canal was how friendly the receptionists were. They both greeted me with a smile. I found the waiting room pleasant and inviting. I thought it was very thoughtful to have a bottle of mouthwash with small cups on the counter in the bathroom to use at my discretion. Stephanie, Dr. Christina’s Dental Assistant, offered me sun glasses to wear during my root canal which I was very grateful for because my eyes can be sensitive to the bright light. Dr. Christina is very dedicated to her work and her commitment to excellency

I went in for a general cleani g .I arrived with a mask on and all the staff just wore a surgical mask with no shields ! I asked where there shields were and I really didnt get a response . Than the dentist stated I needed a root canal and needed to be seen by a specialist in downtown St.Paul . I wanted a second opinion so i asked for my records to… be sent to a different dentist. I came in signed the realse forms to be sent . It took several calls and even the other dentist office called for them . After multiple attempts I was firm and said I need my records sent over and I will no longer
