Since then I have had to go back in here and there for this and that. Everyone is always very nice. On Friday, I had a horrible tooth ache and feared they would not be able to squeeze me in on such short notice, but they did. The only thing that almost prevented me from trying this Dentist out was the fact that they do not offer nitrous-oxide. (laughing gas) But I quickly learned that if the Dentist is good at what he/she does, no nitrous is needed for comfort. I probably couldn't be more comfortable even with Nitrous. I've been to a lot of Dentists throughout my life but I will never go to any other Dentist as long as he still practices and I still live in Minnesota!

Disappointing Experience - Lack of Transparency and Accountability in Poor Handling of Young…read moreChild's Dental Visit I brought my 3.5-year-old in for a very specific concern: visible decay on his two top front teeth. When I booked the appointment, I clearly explained why we were coming in. It was even noted in their records. Yet after the exam, the doctor (who is also the owner) told me they don't treat decay on those specific teeth in children this young. This was incredibly frustrating. If that's their policy, I should have been informed before the appointment--not after I'd arranged childcare for my other children, brought my son in, and paid for a visit that was ultimately unhelpful. Had I known, I would've gone straight to a pediatric dentist and saved time, money, and stress. Now I will have to pay again for an exam as dentist offices don't transfer exams. What was even more confusing, is that I had to get a pediatric referral for my 1.5 year old for an injury at the same time I made the appointment for my 3.5 year old meaning we were already discussing pediatric dentistry and what they do and do not treat. When I spoke with the office manager, I received a series of shifting, contradictory explanations: * First, she claimed they maybe they didn't know why we were coming in (despite the notes that were checked after). The notes themselves were not thorough or true to my clear concerns. * Then she suggested it might have been due to my child's temperament--though he was calm, cooperative, and sat still the entire time (I even have videos because I was so proud of him). * Finally, after consulting the Dr who is also the owner, she said he simply doesn't treat decay in those teeth in 3.5-year-olds--which raises the question of why they accepted the appointment in the first place. While they did offer a vague apology "for any potential miscommunication" and referred us elsewhere, it felt like a deflection of responsibility rather than a genuine effort to acknowledge or resolve the issue. There was no accountability, no meaningful apology, and no attempt to make things right beyond the bare minimum. This experience was deeply disappointing. We were hoping to find a trusted holistic dental office for our entire family--but this showed a lack of transparency, integrity, and patient care. I would not recommend this practice, especially for families with young children. Ask very specific questions upfront--because they won't volunteer the information you need. We won't be back.

I went to Tonka Smiles for a cleaning and exam back in 10/2025. They are in network with the…read moreHealthPartners dental insurance I had at the time and offer nitrous. As someone who prefers female dentists, I love that the staff is all women. :) The team - Dr. Phillips, Julie, RDH, Kara, RDA, and the front desk staff - are friendly and thorough. The main reason this rating is 4 rather than 5 stars is that I felt they recommended work I didn't really need, specifically a crown. Dr. Philips recommended a crown on my bottom right molar where I had a root canal in 11/2017. I'm 8 years out from the procedure and neither the endodontist who did the root canal nor the 3 general dentists I saw between 2018-25 said I needed one. Though she said it's common practice to place a crown after a root canal to avoid the tooth from breaking, I'm reluctant to undergo a procedure on a tooth that has caused zero issues for 8 years. At first I thought she found something other dentists missed but later realized that 4 other dentists (endodontist followed by 3 general dentists) would have said something sooner if I really needed a crown. Other than the root canal, there was no abnormal findings clinically or on the x-ray that convinced me to follow Dr. Phillips' recommendation that I get a crown. Now, if I had a cavity, I would get that filled right away to avoid further decay. But when none of my previous dentists over the past 8 years told me I need a crown and I'm not having pain in that tooth, why create work when none is needed? She also recommended fixing a small chip on one of my front teeth and Invisalign from my bottom teeth, though both were cosmetic so I declined. By comparison, my previous dentist of 5 years NEVER recommended any of the above work. To her credit, Dr. Phillips wasn't pushy about getting the work done. When I asked if it's likely I'd lose the tooth over the next few months if I don't get a crown, she couldn't say. I know it's not always possible to predict medical/dental outcomes but her not knowing told me that I didn't have to make a decision right away and I'd likely be fine without the crown. If the recommendation for a crown was made because I had pain and/or a fracture/other abnormal pathology was found, I'd be more on board getting it, especially if I had been going to the practice for years and didn't need dental work beyond cleanings until now. But as a first time patient to the practice, having a procedure recommended for a tooth that hasn't caused pain or other issues for 8 years makes me question whether I truly need the crown or it's financially motivated. I moved back to my home state in late March so I cancelled the cleaning previously scheduled for April. If I were to see them again (as I want to move back to MN in a few years) and they recommended any dental work beyond bi-annual cleanings, I'd get a second opinion before agreeing to anything. However, I'd more likely find another dental practice that is more conservative in their recommendations, similar to the dentist I previously saw prior to moving to MN.

She's thorough, but also non-judgmental when you're home care isn't perfect. I'm always comfortable in her chair.

I go to the Minnetonka office, but there is also a Maple Grove office if that is more convenient. The dental hygienists I've had clean my teeth have all been skilled and are really good at accommodating the patients to be sure the experience is as comfortable as possible. One thing I really appreciate about the people I have worked with here (and from chatting with other patients) is that they aren't preachy or judgey about your teeth. I feel your thoughts, you haven't been in to a dental office in years and you're intimidated or maybe even embarrassed. Don't worry! Even if you haven't been to the dentist in years, go in and they'll get you started on caring for your teeth without all the lectures and shaming. Give them a try, I think you'll like them.

Over the years I have had routine cleanings, dental work, and ongoing care here, and I have always been treated professionally and respectfully.

No office is perfect, and I cannot speak to other people's experiences, but based on my own decade-plus experience, I trust this practice and the staff here. I think that is worth sharing as well.
