Love the philosophy of Dr. Malterud as he saves tooth structure. My teen daughter had a great experience and hoping in future her decay issues are reversed with ozone he uses. He knows newest technology and is a great dentist!! read more

Dr. Malterud and his exemplary staff are nothing short of outstanding. I've been to his office twice now, and have been thoroughly impressed by the unique blend of professionalism and amiability there. He is a progressive leader in his field, and I feel highly fortunate to work with him. Everyone in his office fully communicated each stage of the dental process, including, but not limited to: scheduling, payment, insurance claims, treatment, and strategies for personal care between visits. They displayed a genuine concern for my long-term oral health, and took the time to educate me about a multitude of options available for top-tier care that fit my individual needs. Dr. Malterud has earned my trust and loyalty. read more

Mark is a phenomenal dentist and one of the best in the twin cities. After several attempts at finding a great dentist a friend recommended Mark to me. I have issues with getting numbed properly if I have a need to get a cavity drilled, etc..., and Mark executed it perfectly. My exams were always very thorough. Mark also understands many other complex issues like TMJ which can be very a complicated issue to deal with. Many dentists say they understand these issues but I'm not sure they do. I can say Mark fixed my issue with clenching that I thought was unfixable. The staff is also great. The lady that cleaned my teeth is a pro. I moved out of Saint Paul and could no longer visit him, but I felt like I owed him a review. It's been hard to find another dentist at his level. read more

Dr Mark and his staff have been nothing but wonderful! I moved to the area two and a half years ago and was recommended to him by a friend. I had not been to a dentist in over two years, so I was hesitant. I was greeted warmly and filled out some quick paperwork. The hygienist, Liz, put me right at ease and it felt like I had known her for years! After a quick cleaning, Dr Mark came in for my final assessment. Everyone in the office was friendly, professional and efficient. For the last two years, I have been advocating for and going to Dr Mark. He fit me for an NTI after some severe jaw pain and headaches. I work odd hours and he stayed until 730 pm to make sure I got the device I needed. He takes pride in his work and is phenomenal. Dr Mark and his staff have nothing but my highest recommendation. read more

Dr. Mark has cared for our family for twenty years. He is always cheerful, informed and painless!! Recently I had a dental emergency 48 hours before a 10 hour plane trip. I needed my first root canal and was terrified but needlessly. The pain relief from the actual procedure was amazing-I was on my way and have had no further trouble. Liz, Mindy and Betty are all equally awesome!! read more

Dr. Mark Malterud and staff are amazing. In my past I've had terrible dental work as a child (on Medicaid) and some poor to adequate dental work over the years from other dentists, so I still had anxiety regarding possible dental work pain. Dr. Mark is the best dentist I have seen and I've been seeing him now for more than 15+ years, so my teeth are now in great shape. Liz is just wonderful. (Who knew getting your dental hygiene services could be such a joy?) When you call the office after hours, the answering message even provides Dr. Mark's mobile number in the event of a dental emergency. I once had such an emergency so I know that this process actually works, as Dr. Mark and Colleen both met me at the office on a day when the office was typically closed to deal with a dental emergency that could not wait until Monday morning. On one occasion Dr. Mark referred me to an endodontist for some specialized care, but everything else has been handled in house. Dr. Mark uses newer technologies (less pain - yea!) and a more conservative approach, rather than overly aggressive approaches that damage underlying natural tooth structures. His services also helped he get rid of bothersome headaches that plagued me for years due to nighttime tooth grinding, by switching to an NTI splint, rather than the big mouth guards I would take out in my sleep and be fearful my dog would find. Dr. Mark & Liz are also great with children, as our daughter had her first (and all subsequent) dental vists at this office (so she hasn't developed the dental work anxiety I developed from inadequate care). read more

I went to Dr. Malterud and he said he could help my complex dental situation with ozone etc. Well in two months, he discharged me without cause. His office is so disorganized, never could find my records I gave him, and gave me poor dental advice. He referred me to an endodontist that did not get my infection out but yet charged me $1100 for nothing. Dr. Malterud was always out of town, didn't want to bother with my care, and then discharged me because his office got too busy and my case was too complicated. If he was honest in the first place, I would have never gone to him. I would not recommend.. read more

While I didn't have many initial complaints with how I was treated in the office I received a dismissal as a patient, out of the blue, months after I went to him. No real explanation and I suspect he may have even meant this for someone else who might have caused him problems? Anyway, I certainly won't go back to a dentist who treats patients this way. No courtesy at all. Truthfully its a very expensive office that won't give estimates for procedures until you go in for it. Kind of suspicious overall if you ask me. read more

No More Headaches because of the Best Dentist Ever! Dr. Mark is a wonderful combination of intelligence and warmth. He patiently explained everything to me. His office has the latest equipment--yet he costs less than my former dentist! He was able to figure out how to get rid of the headaches I have had for years. Turns out I clench at night. He made me a kind of night-guard for my teeth (a "splint") that I wear when sleeping. The result--I wake up headache-free for the first time in years. It is amazing how much better-rested I feel now. I recommend him highly. read more

We were in a situation where our dental insurance was about to run out in one week.we needed quick care yet desired an IAOMT dentist who cares about patients and had good technologies (ozonated water and laser for cleaning/bacteria and 3d low-radiation x-rays, etc. ) Dr.Malterud's receptionist Colleen made numerous calls (sometimes from home ! ) to and for us before we made the 4 hour journey to see him. Rachel was kind enough to try to find somewhere closer for us to go, but they were willing to work on a Thursday for us as a favor. (their normal day off.) We felt so great about their services before we even left town, that we knew we found the right dentist...a true professional operation through and through. Boy were we right ! When we arrived, Rachel immediately took my 4 year old to the toy room to show her the toys and to free me up do do electronic "paperwork" with the very efficient Colleen. Wednesday was game plan day...for the work to be done Thursday. Mindy, the assistant did a really cool 3d x-ray to see what they were working with. they can see the teeth from all angles and take readings to best treat each problem. Dr. Malterud was unlike any Dentist I've ever seen in that he was very friendly, caring, professional, and explained exactly what was going on in words i could understand, and showed visual proof via x-ray. I've been to many dentists and none of them noticed or even mentioned calculus on the backside of my teeth that were affecting my gum health.i was shown proof on the X-ray. He talked to us about multiple things such as toothpastes, our question of drinking distilled water versus tap, how to minimize the effect of drinks on teeth, and the use of fluoride. He was very knowledgeable about EVERYTHiNG. We came up with our game plan for the work to be done the next day.We started at 8 am. I was no easy case, I had two broken teeth so he did two extractions and a root canal. He flawlessy numbed me with some anesthetics, and was thoughtful enough to give me a long-acting one to get over the pain curve. I was in the chair awhile, awake and alert, as he was working his magic. he kept me informed the whole time of what was going on. Midway through he noticed some decay on a tooth with a metal amalgam and I gave the thumbs up to fix it while he had me numbed and easy access. I now happily have less mercury in my mouth. Treating this at a later date would have costed more. He was very cost-conscious that way, which is rare in these days. While all this was going on I was just so impressed with how he wanted to get everything just right for a better outcome.His assistant Mindy was at the ready and offered me breaks,etc. Dr. Malterud was very meticulous and I felt ZERO pain. I didn't know this at the time but my wife went on a walk with our 4 year old , after Colleen suggested a nice route. Talk about above and beyond. When they were done everything looked great and my problems of immediate need were addressed. we looked at an after X-ray of the abscess and the filling work was perfection, and the abscess was all but gone after his laser and ozonated water did their thing. We talked about work for the future for when I had insurance again. To our amazement, Colleen was kind enough to submit our claim to my insurance for us.. Yet again going above and beyond. She even offered my wife a ride somewhere before work if we needed it. Wow! They really went out of their way for us, seeing us the same week we sent them an email, on their usual day off. They helped us, people in need, and we are extremely grateful and hope their business succeeds beyond their wildest expectations, because they truly are top-notch.While I was being counseled by Dr.Malterud I noticed he does a lot of charity work for the needy and I really respect that as well. As it turned out later, I had ZERO after-pain also ! After some filling work , drilling, extractions, and a root canal, I needed ZERO pain meds other than one round of aleve as an inti-inflammatory. I was even called on Saturday so they could see how I was doing! I found my long term dentist. I wll drive four hours one-way for it, because I am convinced I won't find better care. If you are looking for a dentist, you can't find a more minimally invasive one with all the technologies , skills, knowledge, and respect that you will get from Dr.Malterud and his staff. Just go there...you will not regret it! read more
