Dr. Jeff Wichmann is a native of Apple Valley and a graduate of Apple Valley High School. He received a biology degree as well as his DDS degree from the University of Minnesota. He is CEREC trained, which allows him to provide his patients with dental restorations in one single visit, which usually would have taken two, or more. He is also Invisalign certified and certified in placing mini dental implants typically used to stabilize loose dentures.
I had a very efficient dental hygienist. She explained the procedure throughout the cleaning and listened to my concerns. Dentist expertly handled my minor tooth problem and are working on a solution. Digital x-rays have greatly improved films. Office keeps up with modern times. Mary

Did not have a good experience. Dentist was very passive aggressive and inconsiderate. My wife had a similar experience with the same dentist.

i am 16 years old, and previously terrified of going to the dentist. i used to go to hell on earth (also known as metro dentalcare) to get things done and they were very rough. outdated equipment, bad practices, the whole 9 yards. now, i don't even care about going anymore. valley oaks is such a nice place. the building feels cozy and not too sterile, all the staff are very nice, and the most important thing, they have new and up to date equipment. instead of using a scraper to clean teeth they have a super nice water pick kinda thing. procedures that would take HOURS at my last dentist now take half the time, or even less. cannot recommend this place more after a few visits pretty much all anxiety i have surrounding dentists is gone.

One of the best experiences I've had at a dental office - I have quite a bit of anxiety surrounding going to the dentist and Kristin & Dr. Wichmann put my mind at ease. Kristin walked me through everything she was doing, gave me confidence in my homecare and treatment plan, and never made me feel silly or embarassed. I really appreciated the kindess which the staff treats people with here. I will defnintely continue as a patient at Valley Oaks Dental.

I love this place! I get pretty nervous going to the dentist, but they are patient and make sure to adapt so I'm comfortable. Lezlie is amazing! And Dr. Navaro and Kelly are great too. In fact, everybody I encounter there is super friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend them.

Staff will answer all my questions and Dr. Wichmann is great. He really knows his stuff and love the fact I can get a crown literally made in the office while I wait a short time. (its called Cerec one-appointment crowns) Dental hygienists are very gentle as I have sensitive gums. This is a great place with qualified people.

I trust the dentists at Valley Oaks Dental, they do not recommend procedures based on their monetary gain. They truly look after their patients and provide high quality care. When our insurance changed and no longer put them in the new network, I found another plan. I feel fortunate to have them taking care of my smile!

Is there a 10 star rating? This place is not only gorgeous to visit, but the staff makes it shine even more! Dr. Wichmann and his team always make me feel so comfortable and so well taken care of.

Met Dr. Navarro for the first time yesterday. My first visit to Valley Oaks Dental. A nice clean and modern clinic office. Was beyond pleased! Was excited to learn this Clinic exists within the 21st century and that it has many modern on site options to meet their clientele needs. My situation is complex. Dr. Navarro took the time to look at everything, discussed the options and even humor my interest and perceptions. He was thorough, gentle and respectful! I'm glad I made the switch to this Clinic. I'm excited to see where my treatment plan goes.
