We have been going to S.L.F.D. for just about as long as they've been open. I am a registered Dental assistant (retired/inactive now *would gladly come out to work here) and have YEARS of assisting experiences with Drs/DDS. And some of those I wouldn't send my enemies to. I had one particular DDS that I worked for, practically just out of assisting college, who was/is the same who SLFD reminds me of. What I am saying is truthful not biased. SPLFD do phenomenal work and are the most professional, courteous team that we have had the pleasure to be patients for. They actually care about their patients, with the DDS going above and beyond special care for those patients with injection anxieties. (I just happen to be one, thanks to childhood dental treatment trama...and yes I ended up in the field) We gladly recommend Spirit Lake Family Dental to everyone.

I've been with Spirit Lake Dental since they opened. My two boys have only ever had them as their dentist and it's never been a fight to get them to go. I've only ever had the best treatment while visiting their office.

Everyone there is really nice and friendly but I got some fillings done and they fell out not even a year later. They even said I take good care of my teeth so it's honestly kind of upsetting

New patient service was great. Local to me and they do everything needed in-house, however they are above the national average for charges on basic services like cleanings and fillings, which results in insurance often times refusing to agree to charges up front. Their front desk asks for a $20 co-pay saying that it will cover anything that insurance does not... They do bill insurance, but say that they do it only as a service for their customers (never heard that one from any other dentist). My insurance has always paid up front and if anything was not routine, billed me for the deductible and extras, but they still pay the dentist and I've NEVER had a co-pay or deductible for things like routine cleanings or even basic fillings (we pay for 'platinum' level dental insurance). Needless to say we went back to our old dentist even though we have a 60 mile round-trip.
