Dr. Swanson started her professional career in Northwest Edina over 25 years ago. In 2005 she was privileged to purchase her current solo practice from Dr. Art Swanstrom, who came from a three generation dental family legacy. Since then, she enjoys continuing the care of these patients and feels privileged that so many of her previous patients have joined her here.
I am thoroughly enjoying getting to know the patients and helping them in any way that I can. I have been fortunate to work in the dental industry for over 15 years and hold a degree in Business Management with a minor in Human Resources. When not at the office I love spending time with my husband and three children. I also enjoy boating, walking and reading but most of all watching my children participating in their many activities.
I am a graduate of the University of Minnesota Dental Hygiene Program and have found my career to be very fulfilling. Building relationships with the patients and seeing improved results in their oral health has always been my goal.
I am happy to be reunited with Dr. Swanson after working together for 18 years, plus reconnecting with patients has been rewarding. Working alongside Dr. Swansons team of skilled professionals makes each day satisfying as we provide individual treatment to each patient.
Im a well-rounded assistant of 20+ years. My experiences range from geriatric, prosthodontics, oral surgery and of course, general dentistry. Getting to know patients and helping each of them achieve a healthy smile are my daily goals.
I graduated from Normandale Community College while dual enrolled at Metropolitan State University and received my A.S. and B.S. in dental hygiene. I was born and raised in Minnesota. Winter is my favorite season. Educating and helping my patients become healthier is my passion and goal as a hygienist. I have three cats, Barbara, Jazz, and Twix that keep me company. When I am not working, I enjoy sewing and watching movies.
I am so blessed to be working with the Swanson Dental Team. Dentistry is such a rewarding career and I have been in the dental industry for 25 years. It has been so much fun getting to know all of our patients. I started my education at Normandale Community College. Most of my dental knowledge is self-taught. I started my dental career working in a dental lab and eventually became one of the owners. After 18 years of dental lab experience I decided to pursue a career working in a dental office.
I enjoy gardening in containers in the Spring and Summer, Summer boating and Fall campfires. I also enjoy cooking and baking, especially when I get to try new recipes. I love spending time with my family that live in Minnesota and Grandchildren that live in Nebraska.
Originally a Rochester, MN native, I made the move to the metro area for a much needed change of scenery. The transition from one great dental office to another amazing one has been easy. I am enjoying the passion that Dr. Swanson has about patient care. I have been in dental administration since 2015.
My greatest love is cooking and being a self-proclaimed foodie. Im hoping to create a cookbook in the near future! There are so many restaurants up here that I have an opportunity to try so many types of food that I havent had the chance to enjoy yet. I love going on walks and exploring nature. Since Im new here I have a lot of opportunity to be in awe of what the cities has to offer.
Im brand new to Dr. Swansons clinic. I wish I had found her sooner! She and her entire staff are some of the friendliest and most helpful people you are likely to find in a clinical setting. Respectful, good listeners, efficient, fair pricing, and thorough.
We view each patient as a unique individual, and tailor each treatment to your specific needs. As part of our commitment to providing close, personalized attention to every patient, we want to encourage patient communication. Please know that weare here to provide outstanding patient care, and that we value the trust you have placed in each of us as your partners in your oral health.

Dr. Swanson always knows what needs to be done and will propose several methods to arrive at the desired result. She takes the time to discuss the options with you and help you decide what's best for you. And her staff is all top-notch!

I've been going to Dr. Swanson for 9 years & today my daughters saw her for the first time. Wish I would have made the switch years ago. The dental hygienists were so compassionate & patient w/ my girls whom have a lot of anxiety around the dentist. Dr. Swanson took her time to explain what she was doing, what she found during the exam & what they can do to improve their oral hygiene. If you are looking for a dentist I highly recommend Dr. Swanson & her team.

I started going to Dr. Swanson because they were available when other dentist were not. Her office is really good at setting up appointments and getting emergency appointments set up too if you lose a filling.

Normal dentist, does good with cavities and ensuring your teeth are good to go. Would highly recommend their office adds TVs so patients can see X-rays and photos easier and they rotate patient seating. Seems like anytime I'm talking to the dentist/hygienist, or am looking at the X-rays, I have to turn by head at least 120 degrees to the side.
