Chris and Brian Burseth are wonderful dentists. So customer focused and they bring such a sense of comfort when they are working on your teeth. They are extremely gentle with all patients, especially children. They are thorough and I love the fact that they do not talk you into work that is not necessary. My family owes their healthy smiles to them and I highly recommend them!

My family and I have been coming to this practice for over 15 years. Dr. Burseth is absolutely amazing. The prices are very fair and the atmosphere is relaxing. About a year ago, this office fell out of network and I tried two other dental offices. I had such bad experiences in comparison that I have now returned to Dr. Burseth and will stay regardless of my insurance situation. I would highly recommend this practice.
