Specialty dental care should be specialized for each patient. We're committed to working with your general dentist to ensure you receive the proper care for your unique needs. We're also committed to working directly with you. Whether your care requires one specialist or the collaboration of a team of specialists, we always make sure you understand your options and the benefits/risks of every procedure.

Our goal isn't to hurry up and treat you so we can get another patient in the chair. We're here to deliver the personalized specialty care that will provide a lasting positive impact on your oral health as well as your overall health. That means we take the time to make you comfortable, and we provide you with the information and follow-ups you need to make your treatment a success.

I didn't feel she wanted to provide the service. Her response implies she doesn't care because it was an inconvenience to have someone help. When you are literally pressing and pushing the bite pieces into his tiny mouth, why wouldn't he gag? Should of just saying, it's ok we'll do our best instead of talking about how my son wasn't able to listen. I stood there and didn't hear her give my son instructions so he knows what to do. My son was an inconvenience for her hygienist. "We'll he couldn't bite down himself for the X-ray and she (dental hygienist) had to help him hold the bites, so that shows he will be a difficult one to work with. That means we have to bring in another person and she doesn't have time for that."

Dr. Allen and her staff are great. We were referred to her by family whose kids she has treated for over a decade and we've now been seeing her for a few years with our 2 little ones as well. She is knowledgeable and personable and of course great with the kids. Both Dr. Allen and the hygienists we have seen are incredibly patient with kids that are nervous about being at the dentist and they are quick and efficient once the kids give them an opening. After having some less pleasant experiences elsewhere, I have a feeling we'll be patients of Dr. Allen's for several years.

We initially came to Dr. Allen several years ago because my child needed special treatment that our regular dentist could not provide. Even though we could have gone back to our regular dentist (which is a much shorter drive) we have continued to see Dr. Allen because she is very calm and caring and extremely knowledgeable. She explains things in a very easy to understand way.

Dr. Amanda Allen's dental practice is an outstanding place to bring your children. The whole office is designed with children in mind. My kids love the waiting room, and the post-appointment "prizes", and one even got to watch a movie on a screen mounted to the ceiling while having a tooth extracted! She was totally distracted and didn't even complain about the procedure! Dr. Allen and her team are very friendly and thorough, helpfully answering any questions I may have about my children's care.

Dr. Allen and her team are the best! I've been coming with my twins since they were 9 months. They love treating kids and it shows -- from the calm, kid-friendly waiting room to the knowledgeable and kind staff. Every aspect of the visit is designed with kids and parents in mind. I'm so glad that we started out with Dr. Allen. Trips to the dentist are actually fun for my kids!

Dr. Allen is phenomenal! I got emotional in her office because of the high quality of care her and her staff provided for my son. He had received terrible care at another office and was very scared to go back to a dentist. Dr. Allen was SO incredibly patient and kind to both my son and myself. The staff was gentle with him and he got a very large filling done with no trouble at all! You will not be disappointed going to this office! They are all wonderful!

I've been sending my three kids to Dr. Allen for two years now. She's great with kids, as are her staff. She's always friendly, knowledgeable and kind. My kids love seeing her and the staff at The Dental Specialists in Edina!

The Dental Specialists are AMAZING with kids. Everything from smaller chairs to sit in during the cleaning, televisions on the ceilings in the exam rooms for the kids to watch cartoons during the visit, toys, puzzles, and books in the waiting area, and an incredibly kid friendly staff make this a place I would recommend over and over again. Our daughter did not used to enjoy going to the dentist, with occasional outbursts during the exams. Since changing to Dr. Allen, we have had nothing but great experiences. They take the extra time to assure my kids are comfortable and understand what is going to happen when they pull out the different cleaning tools. I can't say enough good things. If you have kids and want a great experience at the dentist, this is your place!

Dr. Allen did such a great job with my first grader, who was anxious and squirmy. She and the staff were very patient with my child and accomplished what we needed to. Thank you!

Dr Allen is the absolute best! Especially during these uncertain times her team still makes it safe and fun. My daughter (preschooler) loved her cool fox face shield. The front office was really clean and the staff clearly cared about our safety.

Dr. Allen and her team are wonderful to work with! They are very professional and do a wonderful job explaining procedures to both children and adults. She made my daughter feel comfortable before her exam and fillings and I feel safe knowing how conscientious the office is with current precautions for COVID. Thank you all!
