Dakota Family Dentistry has a rich history and deep roots in the city of Huron, SD, and its community. Our dental clinic opened its doors in 1995 by Dr. Bruce Wintle. Dr. Wintle envisioned a dental office where the patients needs came first with a business model that included giving back to the community. Years later, when Dr. Jesse Fast took over the practice, he continued to follow these values and beliefs. To this day, our purpose and mission are centered around patient care.
Dakota Family Dentistrys philosophy is simple: we strive to help the families in the Huron community through dental disease control, prevention, restoration, and improved dental aesthetics. We are dedicated to the greater Huron community. In fact, many of our team members completed the exclusive Leadership Huron program, whose goal is to enhance the citys quality of life. Our team uses their talents to support patients and support various community organizations, clubs, churches, and other Huron, SD area projects.
Dr. Fast enjoys all different areas of dentistry, and this is why he chose general dentistry. This Huron dentist is a lifelong learner and places a high priority on continuing education. He attends many educational seminars a year to gain more knowledge and skills to better serve and treat his patients. In June 2015, Dr. Fast received his Fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry, which requires three years of membership, a minimum of 500 approved CE credits, pass a comprehensive written exam, apply for the award, and attend an AGD convention ceremony. Dr. Fast is currently working towards his Mastership in the Academy of General Dentistry.
When Dr. Fast is not at our Huron dental office, he enjoys spending time with his wife, Kara, their two boys, Noah and Isaac, and daughter, Lydia. His other interests are coaching his kids in basketball and soccer, hunting, his family farm, and being active in his church. He is very thankful for being able to practice dentistry in the wonderful Huron community.
Dr. Wintle has served as a delegate for the South Dakota Dental Association and was President of the South Dakota Academy of General Dentistry. He is the recipient of the Distinguished Service Award from both the Huron Area Center for Independence and the South Dakota Academy of General Dentistry. Dr. Wintle has also won Employer of the Year in Huron, the Annual Mayors Award of Excellence, and the South Dakota Great Smiles Award.
When Dr. Wintle is not at the Huron dental office, he enjoys spending his time on the family farm. His interest in farming and his passion for helping his community have kept him active in 4-H events since he was a young man. Dr. Wintle is married to his wife, Susan, and is the proud father of his two children, Clark and Carrie. Bruce enjoys spending time with his family and maintaining an active lifestyle with them.
We place great emphasis on the education, training, and continuing education of all staff members. Each member of our dental team brings their unique skills, talents, and credentials to best serve you and your familys dental needs.

Needed emergency dental care. The DFD team was very prompt, prioritized my situation even though I was a first time patient. I am optimistic that the work they performed will be helpful. Thanks to all of the team.

It was a quick check in. The front desk ladies were nice. I only waited just a couple minutes before I was called back. Cheryl was the person I was with today. She was very kind and patient with me. She explained everything that was she was going to do before she did it. She was gentle and overall a very nice lady. Dr. Fast was very nice as well. Over all a fantastic experience for someone who was terrified to go to the dentist.
