In 1972, Dr. Greg Swenson and Dr. Bud Murn saw a need for consistent, high quality, affordable dental care in their community. With their vision to put patients first, they formed one of the first group practices in Minnesota.
Our doctors and clinical staff are committed to delivering the highest quality of care to every patient. Each team member strives to make your experience at Park Dental the best dental experience youve ever had.
With dozens of convenient and locally owned locations throughout the Twin Cities and greater Minnesota, there are plenty of reasons to choose Park Dental. Our history of providing personalized, quality care is unrivaled in the Twin Cities, and we treat each patient as a valuable part of the Park Dental family.
Whether youve moved to a new area, are looking to change your dental provider or just need a second opinion, we have a qualified dentist close by to provide the care you need. There are many reasons our patients choose Park Dental. Here are the main reasons they keep coming back:
Park Dental has experienced doctors and team members who do whats right for our patients. Many of us have invested our entire careers at Park Dental. We look forward to a bright future caring for your dental needs.
Our rigorous credentialing program ensures that each doctor, dental hygienist and dental assistant is properly licensed. Our clinical excellence and quality assurance standards put our patients at ease so they can focus on getting to know their doctor and team members without worrying about the quality of care.
Park Dental doctors and team members stay up-to-date with the latest procedures and technology. Some teach at the University of Minnesota Dental School and other community and technical colleges. We also serve on dental advisory boards and participate in professional dental associations.
Whatever your dental needs, we provide the individualized care you need to enjoy a lifetime of oral health. Regular visits to your dentist are one of the best ways to prevent cavities and gum disease, and the American Dental Association recommends you see a dentist at least once a year. For optimal dental health, most of our patients visit every 6 months according to their personalized care plan.
We understand that todays dental care is better than yesterdays. Thats why we are always pursuing the latest and most effective dental technology. Our practices invest in state-of-the-art technology to ensure you will always get the best dental care available.
One benefit of our group practice is convenience and flexibility. Some family members can visit a location near home or school and a parent can choose a location near work. We make it easy for you to get the care you need, when and where you need it.
On your first visit, we ask you to complete an online new patient registration form. If youve seen a dentist in the past, we can help to facilitate the transfer of your dental records and radiographs (X-rays).
Park Dental accepts most dental insurance plans and has a wide range of payment options including cash, check, debit card and credit card. We also offer convenient payment options through Wells Fargo so you dont have to worry about how you are going to afford your treatment.
Park Dental was founded on the principle of making communities better through accessible dental care, and we remain committed to promoting the importance of dental health throughout our communities. Our core purpose is to improve peoples lives as a leader in oral health.
Participating in the community is part of who we are. Our involvement includes Give Kids a Smile, Minnesota Mission of Mercy, the American Heart Association, American Diabetes Association Tour de Cure, health fairs, community events, parades, neighborhood festivals, providing learning resources, volunteering, teaching about good dental hygiene at local schools and daycare centers, and much more.
Even after 45 years, we continue to work to refine our practices so youll receive the best dental care possible. Thats why individuals and families throughout the Twin Cities, greater Minnesota and western Wisconsin have trusted Park Dental with their care for the past five decades.
Every doctor and team member is fully credentialed and licensed (as the position requires), reviewed by peers and continually learning and improving. Our quality assurance standards build confidence with our patients so they can continue to trust our dental care and services.
As a dental group, we provide on-going opportunities for mentoring, constructive feedback and professional development at every level: doctors, dental hygienists, dental assistants, scheduling managers and practice managers. Every Park Dental doctor participates in our peer evaluation and mentoring program to help ensure each patient receives necessary and appropriate care. Mentoring is a positive experience at Park Dental because the focus is on learning and growing in our profession to benefit our patients.
We promote a culture of continuous improvement and learning. Park Dental doctors invest resources and time to provide continuing education for themselves and their teams. We customize our training and development programs so we can better meet the specific needs of our patients. Being a group practice allows us to pool our resources. For example, we are able to bring in local and national experts to conduct seminars and training for our doctors and team members.
Our commitment is to provide learning opportunities for professional and personal growth so that everyone acquires new skills that enhance our ability to meet patients needs. A high-quality continuing education program benefits our patients because the more we know, the better we can care for your needs.
Each doctor receives routine reviews by other Park Dental dentists. These reviews evaluate appropriateness of care and proper patient record documentation. Doctors and team members also receive one-on-one feedback as a part of our ongoing peer review and quality assurance processes.
Park Dentals partnership with specialty dental providers, such as The Dental Specialists, allows us to meet most dental needs you or your family may have throughout your lifetime. We provide all general dentistry services and refer patients to a specialists when advanced care is required.
Our close working relationship with these specialty doctors helps us to provide dental care that is seamless and consistent. Collaboration also provides educational opportunities and professional growth as we work together on behalf of our patients needs.
Our facilities are professionally designed and appointed to allow each location to promote clinical excellence and patient comfort. The environment of our practices is calm and professional, enhanced by natural light, color and art.
Park Dental supports and participates in The Dental Practice-Based Research Network (DPBRN) whose mission is To improve oral health by conducting dental practice-based research and by serving dental professionals through education and collegiality.
The Dental Practice-Based Research Network (DPBRN) is a consortium of participating practices and dental organizations committed to advancing knowledge of dental practice and ways to improve it. Essentially, it is practical science done about, in and for the benefit of real world daily clinical practice. DPBRNs major source of funding is the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), part of the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH).
When you visit a Park Dental location, you will receive quality care that is necessary and appropriate the right care for you. Our approach to patient-centered care is exemplified by our S-E-R-V-I-C-E:
Our approach to dental care begins with a thorough, comprehensive examination. We recommend a treatment plan to meet your individual needs and discuss how to approach that treatment, keeping you at the center of the decision-making process.
Our patients often request elective services like teeth whitening, veneers and composite (white) fillings. We work with you to produce the desired results because we want you to look good and feel good about your smile.
At every Park Dental location you will receive quality care from well-trained doctors and team members. Our quality assurance and peer review programs help ensure high standards of care are upheld. Our facilities and processes meet or exceed state and federal standards.
At Park Dental, doctors inspire each other every day. Doctors learn from those more experienced, and doctors who have practiced for years renew their passion for learning through interactions with newer doctors.
We get great results because our doctors and team members listen to their patients and encourage each other to contribute their unique perspective and abilities. We make decisions by asking one question: Whats best for the patient?
We believe the best value we can provide any patient is dental health for a lifetime. Were here for you when you need us. We provide our patients a full range of dental services, including emergency care, at convenient locations with extended hours.

I hadn't visited the dentist in 7 years but I finally made an appointment at Park Dental because my insurance covers it. I don't think anyone can say they enjoy going to the dentist, but they made my visit as enjoyable as possible. Brittani did a great job with my x-rays and cleaning. She was very thorough and gentle and explained everything to me along the way. Dr. Barsness was very nice as well. Overall I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Park Dental.

We've been seeing Dr. Mike for 10 years and he's a great dentist. Unfortunately, Park Dental has implemented poor policies that infringe on people's rights. I spoke with two women, one who answered the phone for the Hudson location and another who called me back from the Park Dental in St. Paul, and neither seemed to care much that we're switching dentists due to these ridiculous and useless policies. If you're looking for a dentist in Hudson that respects your freedoms, a simple Google search will yield three near the top of the list, and one of the three is NOT infringing on people's rights. Dr. Mike and Spark, you will be missed, but please consider who you're working for.

BEWARE OF BILLING INCOMPETENCY AND BILLING FRAUD! $2,730 for a cleaning and temporary filling! Is what Heather Loughney, receptionist manager is attempting to bill me for these 2 services but claims she has given me a $2,000 discount. My first visit quote I signed acknowledging the services will be $404. My second visit quote I signed acknowledging the services will be $266. Heather inaccurately denied accepting my Humana Plus discount plan she sells me their plan. Insurance company called the office now they do accept it. Heather reimburses me but increases the cost and refuses to honor the 2 acknowledgement agreement's I signed and are required by law. Each time I dispute her inaccurate billing and lack of showing me where a discount was applied the bill keeps going up. Heather and Lori Durand both are stating my charges are $2,730 without Insurance. Heather has added my refunds into the charges and doesn't understand what she has done, this is why the bill keeps increasing.

What an amazing group of folks here! Our whole family loves going here and have really great experiences. The entire staff is friendly and efficient. They've taken the time to answer any question we've had or even cheaper/better/smarter alternatives. We'd highly recommend them as your dental care team!!

Our family recently had a change to our dental insurance and we needed a new dentist. I called Park Dental in Hudson to make appointments for our whole family. The receptionist was rude. Told me that they have a very small office and it would be tough to accommodate our family. I asked if we could bring our family in groups and she said that would be tough. They couldn't get us in until January! I guess this dental office isn't interested in new customers. We will take our family somewhere else.

If I can put no stars I would. I now have to replace every crown they put on because the crowns were so bad. I had two other dentists review what he did and both were horrified. It caused so many problems with my teeth and gums that will cause me twice the money to fix now. This dentist put on the crowns and when I complained they hurt, he just ignored me. Said it would go away and then when it gets bad, he will tell you, you need a root canal. Bad dentistry! I didn't need a root canal, just a better dentist that has better crowns!

Great staff! Dr. Barsness is so friendly and makes sure you understand what is happening with your teeth. I also really appreciate the TV screens above the dental chairs to relax patients.

The dentists seem nice, however the communication and complete lack of trust I felt lost me as a costumer. I was frustrated by the miscommunication and lack of flexibility. I moved an entire schedule of meetings around to fit an appointment and called the day before to ask if I could be later. They even called the day of to ask where I was and I said on my way, to which they replied okay. However, upon arrival I was reprimanded for not being on time and told to reschedule. I explained that I had communicated this earlier and was told it would be fine. Nope. I was told I need to reschedule. Which with their lack of times and availability was not possible it seemed until another month down the line. The hygienist who rudely pointed out how upset she was by my lack of time commitment was asked by the receptionist how we could make this work. She replied with, "Well, if she was able to get here on time..." I had enough of her behavior and rudeness. Their lack of communication was not my fault. I moved everything around and called them twice to ask for clarification. Then they couldn't fit me in at all to make it work. At that point I left, no one deserves to be reprimanded and mistreated like that, especially when it is so obviously a lack of communication on their part. I immediately called another dentist in town, and they were able to make it work the very next day and I'm not even a member there yet. After, my past experience this felt like a blessing to have such a helpful understanding person. I'm not one to write reviews, but I don't want someone to put up with an event like this when there are better options out there. I wish I had looked at the reviews here first. I would not recommend this place for anyone.
