Dr. Jalissa Kruckman was born and raised in Glencoe, Minnesota, and graduated from Glencoe-Silver Lake High School. She attended The College of Saint Benedict for her undergraduate degree in Biology.

Dr. Kruckman prides herself in providing excellent dental care for the entire family, working with children and older patients alike, and continually learning the most up to date technological advancements, and furthering her education. You are more than a patient to me. You are a person who deserves the best care and a compassionate hand from diagnosis to treatment. Staying current with all the new changes and developments in the field is very important to me as a dentist. Doing so allows me to provide the best care available for my patients. I take a variety of continuing education classes each year so that I can offer only incomparable treatments to my patients.
I am continually blown away by the ever-changing and advancing dental techniques and technology in my field, and I am proud to be able to share with my patients the benefits of my continuing education.

She has also been actively involved with the American Student Dental Association as well as events such as Give Kids a Smile Day and Special Smiles.
I am thrilled to be a family dentist for a community and practicing in an office where I can provide dentistry for the whole family. I take the time to listen to my patients, lay out treatment options to meet each persons needs, and provide care with a strong attention to detail. Like Dr. Kruckman, I see the immense value in continuing education and being able to provide the most up to date care for you and your family.

Very quiet, calm and professional atmosphere. I had a procedure done today. It was a positive experience. Leaving this office after many years as a patient there. I bought their in house insurance plan. I was told by one of their employees that the plan dates were not as set in stone as with traditional insurance plans. I showed up for a procedure this morning and was told my plan had expired 12 days ago. Even though I tried to explain what I had been told. Very disappointed. But there's plenty of good dental offices out there.

They are not very clear about billing up front. I was charged $95 to get a retainer removed and my husband was charged $95 plus an additional $46 after the fact. Seems inconsistent to pay different amounts for the same service and different than the quoted amount.

I've been a patient of Dr. Kruckman (Jalissa) since she opened her office in Waconia several years ago. I've always trusted her for my own teeth and any work that needed to be done. Recently, my daughter needed some cosmetic type work done on her front/side teeth. Jalissa was extremely thorough in explaining the options and making sure not only that my wife and I were comfortable with the outcome, but also that my teenage daughter understood the process. Jalissa made sure the color, texture and everything about the veneers was an exact match, and the final result was absolutely amazing and my daughter is all smiles. A big THANK YOU to Dr. Kruckman and her staff! Well done!

I have now had the pleasure of having the Kruckman team handle my dental needs for several years now. Their entire staff is always friendly, efficient and professional. I am like most people in that I don't look forward to going to the dentist. But I am aware that my dental health is important to my overall health, and because of that I choose the Kruckman Family Dentistry.

Losing a crown before Christmas and New Years is never fun. Luckily I was able to come in the next day at an early appointment and now all is well. Once again the professionals at Kruckman FamIly Dentistry came through. I would recommend Kruckman Family Dentistry to all!

I hadn't been to a dentist in a while, too long to be honest, and I needed some work. They saw me for an initial exam a couple of weeks ago and were able to schedule me quickly, so that I could maximize my benefits, which was important to me. I was able to have one new cavity, multiple filling replacements, and a crown yesterday, and it really couldn't have gone any smoother. The crown was made in-house, while Dr. Sawyer completed the other work, and I was in and out in two hours. Really nice office, great doctor and staff, and excellent treatment.
