Philosophy of CareThe team at Dental Wellness believe in the importance of preventative care. We focus on keeping patients in good oral health so that they can live a full, healthy, and enjoyable life that is free from oral pain. This starts by educating our patients on what they can do to stay healthy at home. In our family dentist office we recommend that patients eat a healthy diet that consists of green leafy vegetables, lean protein, nuts, dairy products, and crunchy fruits and veggies. Eating these foods along with drinking water can help to keep teeth healthy and make them stronger. By simultaneously reducing sugar intake, patients can also reduce their risk of cavities.
It is also important to brush and floss throughout the day. Instead of waiting for bedtime to brush teeth, carry a small toothbrush and use it after meals and snacks. This makes it possible to remove sugar and bacteria from the teeth and gums before it has the opportunity to turn into acid that can attack the teeth. This preventative step can greatly reduce a persons risk of getting a cavity or gum disease. We understand the importance of taking these steps at home and will spend the time necessary to educate and inform patients so that they can stay healthy overall. Education, after all, is essential for living a long and healthy life.
Understanding the importance of these regular dental exams, the staff at Dental Wellness work to make each patient extremely comfortable. This includes being welcoming and kind while performing dental treatments in a way that is painless and relaxing. Patients visit our dentist office because they trust us to do just that take care of their teeth and gums, gently. The majority of our patients are local and come from the greater Sioux Falls area, we also see patients that are looking for gentle dental care.
Seniors, on the other hand, often struggle with gum disease and oral infections. As people age, their teeth can become weaker and infected more easily. Bone loss is incredibly common with seniors and by conducting regular dental exams, the team at Dental Wellness can help seniors to have strong teeth and reduce the risk of them falling out. Since over seventy percent of U.S. adults suffer from tooth loss, preventative care is important.
Q: Are baby teeth really that important to my child?A: Primary, or baby, teeth are important for many reasons. Not only do they help children speak clearly and chew naturally, they also aid in forming a path that permanent teeth can follow when they are ready to come in.
Q: What should I do if my child has a toothache?A: First, rinse the irritated area with warm salt water and place a cold compress on the face if it is swollen. Give the child acetaminophen for any pain, rather than placing aspirin on the teeth or gums. Finally, see a dentist as soon as possible.
Q: How do dental sealants work?A: Sealants work by filling in the crevasses on the chewing surfaces of the teeth. This shuts out food particles that could get caught in the teeth, causing cavities. The application is fast and comfortable and can effectively protect teeth for many years.
Q: How do I know if my child is getting enough fluoride?A: Have your family dentist evaluate the fluoride level of your childs primary source of drinking water. If your child is not getting enough fluoride internally through water (especially if the fluoride level is deficient or if your child drinks bottled water without fluoride), then we may prescribe fluoride supplements.
Q: What can I do to protect my teeth during sporting events?A: Soft plastic mouthguards can be used to protect teeth, lips, cheeks and gums from sport related injuries. A custom-fitted mouthguard will protect your teeth from injuries and even provide protection from severe injuries to the head.
Q: How safe are dental X-rays?A: There is very little risk in dental X-rays. Family dentists are especially careful to limit the amount of radiation to which you and your family are exposed. Lead aprons and high-speed film are used to ensure safety and minimize the amount of radiation. Digital x-rays provide an even greater level of protection by using up to 90 percent less radiation.

My first encounter with Dr Anderson was back in 2013 when him and his wife came in on an early Saturday morning to provide me with some emergency dental Work. They were amazing. I live in Chamberlain so hard to have them as my primary dentists because of the drive so I haven't see them since 2013. I recently have began using them again because their customer service and bedside manner is truly the best. The staff is so great to work with. Sarah worked the most with me the last visit along with Dr Anderson and I absolutely loved the care I received. They provide an amazing workplace. I hate dental work but the staff at Dental Wellness makes it so much more tolerable. All the way down to the scheduling staff. They all work very hard to accommodate you the best they can. I will be using Dental Wellness from here on out even though I have to drive two hours. Definately worth the drive. Thank you so much for your wonderful care!

I was considering dental implants for awhile...then I was referred to Dental Wellness by someone I will not disclose (Another professional) so I went in for a consult. I was greeted with a professional, kind, caring and courteous team which was headed up by Doctor Deveren Anderson who laid out a detailed plan for me at a cost matched by no one else in SF. Even thought I am not completely done...I am very satisfied with the out come of every aspect of my procedures!

Having recently moved to Sioux Falls from the Palm Springs California area, I was put into the position to find a Dentist locally. Luckily for me there was Dental Wellness a block from where I was living. Because I lost a front filling it had to be addressed immediately and they came to my rescue. I was in within 5 days of contacting them and the service was the best I have ever had. First, they had a cancelation for cleaning by Molly and I was able to get that one as it is only 2 min to walk there. Then because of another change in their schedule, I was able to stay and have my front tooth fixed by Dr. Bates assisted by Marissa. Thank you for a great visit. So appreciative of Cynthia and Lisa getting me in. I love the beautiful job you did on my front tooth. My teeth feel so nice and clean once again. I definitely would recommend this Dental office.

2/3 of the appointments made with this office were rescheduled on their part. First was the extraction then was the seating. They booked appointments on the assumption that the lab work would be back in time and of course it wasn't. In the single appointment the office kept as scheduled they made me feel uncomfortable as the assistant made a comment on how they only hire women in the office. Family friendly???

Just had my first visit at Dental Wellness. I can tell I'm gonna love it here! It's not easy finding a new dentist that you can trust. The people are friendly! I loved the hygienist who explained things very thoroughly and the dentist was knowledgeable and straightforward with my treatment. When I arrived the receptionist was fun and friendly and everyone, including the gal who gave me the treatment plan cost, was awesome and informative. I don't think I have ever said this before but I am actually excited to go back to the dentist!

Dr. Anderson and his team are amazing. They know who you are by your 2nd visit.. they make you feel comfortable, like you're just hanging with friends, which makes the appt, regardless of what you're getting done, 100x better. Everyone is so extremely nice to patients, however what stood out to me was how nice and positive they are to each other... thankful for them! I recommend them always!
