I was an early adopter of digital imaging, radiation-free cavity detection, needle and drill-free laser dentistry, minimally invasive dentistry and mouth guards that help improve performance and protect against concussions. My focus on technology has allowed me to give patients the opportunity to experience dentistry not offered at most traditional practices.
I run my practice with a close eye on what is new and upcoming in dental technology. Ive never been one to just follow what the industry as a whole is doing, which has lead me to be an early-adopter of advances in dentistry. I strongly believe that technology allows me to provide better care to my patients, so I strive to make investments to ensure I am providing the most advanced treatments available.
In 2015, I became the first dentist in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area to bring the Solea laser into my practice. Unlike some of the other lasers available on the market, the Solea laser is the first FDA-approved laser for use in both hard and soft tissue. This technology has enabled me to perform 90% of my procedures without Novocaine and or a drill.
I was also an early investor in technology that would allow for radiation-free cavity detection. Not only has this saved my patients from countless doses of unnecessary radiation, but it has also increased my ability to detect problems at an earlier stage. I recently acquired a digital scanner that will allow me to scan and store digital records of my patients mouths. My ability to use precise recorded data to detect changes between visits will only further improve the quality of care I am able to provide.

Great dentistry, I had a cracked tooth for over half a year ignored three times by my Dentist and McDowell identified the issue and fixed it immediately after my consultation - also had teeth whitening and I'm very happy with the results.

I was impressed with my care at Wayzata Dental and would highly recommend Dr. McDowell. He was able to make time for me in his schedule right away when I had an unexpected problem arise, and took care if it quickly and painlessly.

Five stars for Dr. McDowell and his awesome assistant, hygienist and front desk staff. What a great crew! They take the time to listen and to explain. Dr. McDowell replaced one of my old fillings with his laser and without using any novocaine or drill! I was comfortable the whole time and I didn't have any sensitivity when he was using the laser. Oh and when you get your teeth cleaned you also have the option to have your teeth whitened at the end.
