The history of our practice started back in the 1920s when Dr. A.H. Malerich, Sr. graduated from the University of Minnesota Dental School and started a dental practice on Mainstreet in Hopkins. It was on the second floor of the old 1st National Bank Building.
Years later, Dr. Malerichs son, A.H. Malerich, Jr. also became a dentist. He too graduated from the University of Minnesota. First he served in WWII as a dentist/oral surgeon, later he joined his fathers practice in Hopkins.
The Hopkins community continued togrow and business was good. In 1959, Dr. Malerich, Jr. began construction and built the building where our current practice now resides. Dr. Marlerich, Sr. died in 1967. Dr. Malerich,Jr. took on a series of associates, the last one being Dr. Alan Hatcher in 1979.
Dr. Hatcher purchased the practice in 1983 and Dr. Malerich, Jr. retired from dentistry in 1985. Dr. Hatcher brought in a partner in 2004, Dr. Kris Bomstad. Dr. Bomstad assumed full responsibility for the practice in 2009.
As they say, some things change and some things stay the same. From our beginning days back in the 1920s, this practice has always been a preventive based, family-oriented practice, with a small town feel. After all, Hopkins was a small town until the 1970s. We specialize in taking care of all our patients like they are our friends and family and hope to continue that principal, while keeping up to date with products, materials and techniques in dentistry.
Dr. Kris Bomstad grew up in Hutchinson, MN. He was a swimmer, enjoyed fishing, hunting and working on his grandparents farm. Dr. Bomstad received his undergraduate degree from St. Olaf College in Northfield, MN and his Doctorate of Dental Surgery from the University of Minnesota.
Dr. Bomstad has practiced Family & Cosmetic dentistry since 2000. He is also certified in Invisalign, Lumineers, CEREC and dental implants. Dr. Bomstad derives great satisfaction when he can help patients, who have a negative outlook about their oral health, feel good about themselves. Restoring a patients dentition can give them back confidence and self-esteem, changing their outlook on life.
In his spare time, Dr. Bomstad enjoys spending time with his wife, son and daughter. He spends most of his time watching his children participate in various activities, including baseball, swimming, gymnastics and choir concerts. Dr. Bomstad still enjoys the outdoors. You can find him fishing, hunting or water skiing any chance he gets. Make sure to ask him about his latest fish story, hes sure to have a good one!
With a warm smile and a friendly hello, our helpful and talented Bomstad Dental team will assure that you will be comfortable and well-taken care of in a relaxed environment. If you have questions, just ask and we will be eager to help you.

I visited them today after several years of not going due to some anxiety and discomfort in regards to going to the dentist. The hygienist was super friendly. She did a great job with my dental cleaning and helped to ease my anxiety and discomfort. She even educated me as to how to better take care of my teeth. I will definitely be coming back in the near future.

I've been going to this dentist office since 1999 and have always been very happy with them. They are always courteous, friendly, prompt, and do quality work. Yesterday Elizabeth performed a deep-root cleaning on one of my teeth. Knowing I was nervous about it, she went above and beyond to put me at ease. She was very gentle the whole time, did her best to comfort me/put me at ease, and did an extremely amazing job successfully cleaning the root. I can't say enough good things about the experience (well, for being at the dentist)! As always, Bomstad dentistry has added another A1 quality professional to their staff. Thanks Elizabeth!

Shaina greeted me pleasantly upon arrival and I had a great cleaning of my teeth by Elizabeth and a thorough exam by Dr. Bomstad. I look forward to future work to be done by Dr. Bomstad and his staff.

BEWARE I had a good initial visit and for a couple years other pleasant visits as well. After missing an appointment while I was at urgent care with my daughter I was still charged over $400. I had argued that I should not be charged and can not afford to pay for the same dental work twice. They were unwilling to work with me to some sort of compromise and are in the process of suing me.

There were able to make an appointment on the same week and schedule a follow up the next week. The staff were very accommodating and kind. They made sure that I understood what was going to happen and gave clear directions through the double face masks. I've already recommended them to a coworker
