Dr. Don Blakeslee, his beautiful wife and two talented daughters, have called Fridley their home since 1981. When not in the office, you can find him tending to his burgeoning garden, trekking the world with his DSLR camera, molding pottery clay, sharpening his sailing abilities, camping in Minnesota wilderness and maintaining his fitness with yoga.
Home-grown talent. Ever since graduating from the University of Minnesota, Dr. Blakeslee has committed to providing the best care for his patients. From his kind smile, gentle demeanor and focus on understanding your needs, you know he has your best interest at heart.
Dedicated to service. Not only can you find him in the Blaine office, youll find him volunteering throughout the Twin Cities. Every month, Dr. Blakeslee donates his dental skills to Sharing and Caring Hands in Minneapolis. Another way he has given back is through the Give Kids a Smile program since 2003. A free program held every year to help families and children unable to afford basic dental care.
If it's been years or just 6 months, our hygiene team treat you as family. No lectures, no shaming or an eye roll. We think of ourselves more as a coach, cheerleader and motivator. Let us think about teeth 24/7 so you can come just for routine visits.
It's why old clothes don't fit as well, an old denture set can become worn and ill-fitting. There are new affordable advanced dental techniques rejuvenating mouths without any teeth. Consider the options when it comes to dentures.
When youre at University Ave Dental, youll feel like part of a family. We greet everyone who walks through our doors with a warm welcome.

I have been a dental hygienist since 1989, graduated from University of Minnesota Duluth. I have enjoyed working with the staff at Blakeslee Dental since 1998. While making each patients experience unique to their needs, I find it rewarding to help them achieve a higher level of health.
I graduated from the University of North Dakota (go Sioux) in 1992 with a degree in political science, spanish and psychology. My intention at that time was to go onto dental school. After deciding instead to pursue a career in dental hygiene, I enrolled at Normandale Community College. I have been a registered dental hygienist since 1996 and have been with Blakeslee Dental for the past 9 years. I wish I would have found them earlier!!
