Mpls.St.Paul Magazine asked Twin Cities dentists to nominate other dentists they consider to be exceptional in the field - peers they would consult themselves if they were in need of a specialized dental professional. After they received nominations, they then grouped candidates into specialties and evaluated numerous factors. A few of these factors include (but are not limited to) peer recognition, professional achievement, and disciplinary history. Dental professionals who had the highest score from each grouping were invited to serve on a blue-ribbon panel to evaluate the other candidates.
At the end of the process, Mpls.St.Paul selected the 2020 Top Dentists, choosing only the dentists who'd acquired the highest point totals from the surveys, research, and blue-ribbon panel review. The final list contains approximately 10% of active dentists in the 10-county metro area.

rescheduled my partner multiple times right before appointments and when an appointment finally came they called and said the insurance wasn't compatible- the insurance details were sent from day one mind you. Not sure how you can support customers with this type of treatment with first time customers.

Best dentist HANDS DOWN. I had some bad infections and cavities and needed emergency surgery. Everywhere else like Aspen wastes your time and tries to charge you up the a** for a Bunch of stuff you don't need. I was able to get In within 3 days! On top of that, my teeth were so bad I had to split the procedure between two days. They got me back in within two days and he didn't charge me for two appointments even though I took his time. I will be back and I'll be recommending to everyone! Seriously the most professional as well as hardworking office I've been too.

Greenway Dental is a top notch practice that delivers excellent customer service and genuinely cares about its patients. Jo did an excellent job in my teeth cleaning and offered creative suggestions of ways to improve between visits. Dr. LaChance was very personable and knowledgeable. I'm grateful to have found this practice and will be continuing my care with this excellent staff.

For an office that claims to be supportive of anxiety, the older front desk woman sent me into a panic attack. Discussing finances and treatment in front of other patients in a condescending tone after having made an error in scheduling my appointment is not how one should treat any patient, let alone ones with mental health issues. Incredibly disappointed. Go elsewhere.

The hygienist was wonderful! She explained everything that was happening and even the results of what she found upon initial examination. The dentist was also great. My made me feel informed and empowered to best understand my teeth. I was also able to schedule an initial appointment easily online, was seen in a timely manner, and the clinic is beautiful!

I felt so at ease my entire appointment! I hadn't been to the dentist for a cleaning in quite a few years, and I felt no judgement whatsoever. They're also very transparent about cost of care. You can tell the staff really cares. The best experience I've ever had at a dentist!

Greenway dental is without a doubt the best experience I've ever had with a dentist. Not only is everyone so friendly, but they are on top of their health practices, the building itself is so nice and clean, I just simply couldn't think of a single bad thing or a thing that I would change. They are just so awesome and Dr. LaChance has literally changed my life with the work he's done for me. I'd give more stars if possible, 5 isn't enough for this place!!!
