Dr. Gary Plotz Jr and his wife Betsy have made Slayton their home since 2006 with their six children. Originally from Hutchinson, MN, Dr Plotz graduated with a degree in Neuroscience from Brown University and Doctorate of Dental Surgery from the University of MN.
Advanced certifications in Invisalign, Dental Implants and Full Mouth Rehabilitation has allowed Dr. Plotz to perform a variety of procedures in addition to the general dentistry services. Dr Plotz enjoys this variety in his practice as it allows him to comprehensively treat his patients.
Lydia Diekmann, Advanced Dental Therapist at Shetek Dental Care, graduated from Murray County Central in 2008. As a high school student and a patient at Shetek Dental Care, Lydia shadowed Dr. Plotz and instantly knew her passion in life was dentistry. After high school she attended SDSU in Brookings, SD majoring in Biology/Pre-Dental before continuing on to pursue a degree in Dental Therapy at the University of Minnesota Dental School.
After a year of working at Shetek Dental Care, Lydia received her Advanced Dental Therapy Certificate. As an advanced dental therapist, Lydia can diagnose treatment like Dr. Plotz. Her work focuses on restorative fillings, exams as well as pediatric care.
From routine dental exams, dental X-rays, dental cleanings, filling cavities, and minor dental surgery to more advanced procedures such as teeth whitening, dental implants, crowns, and other cosmetic and restorative dental procedures.

From the first phone call I was impressed with their kindness and willingness to help, and they listen! Something that was new to me. The whole staff, from the front desk to the back rooms, friendly, kind and always a smile. Previously, I'd had some not so great experiences with another dentist in another town, had lots of anxiety, but here I felt at ease and calm. DR Plotz was so good at listening and explaining the procedure that I'd be having done. I'm so glad I followed through on the recommendation!! I'm just sorry I hadn't done so sooner. I would 100% recommend Shetek Dental Care!!

Friendly attentive staff, some of the handoffs and shuttling to and fro seemed more fluffy than functional.
