    The people here have been nothing but helpful and honest with me. My current situation is, I am…read moregetting a root canal and crown done by two different places. Dealing with two different companies for any reason can be a frustrating experience however, the people Twin Cities Endodontics have been very helpful with my busy work schedule and exceptionally accommodating to my situation. I have to say that I have hated going to the dentist since I was a kid, but my experience with these guys has actually restored the appreciation, comfortability, trust that I was lacking. So with that said, I would recommend this place to anyone in need of dental work "root canal" especially, to give these guys a try.

    Where do dentists get their root canals? Dr. Zucker and team!! I send my patients ALL the way to…read moreSt. Paul (I practice in Minneapolis) or Eagan, promising them, I'd drive to Iowa for a good root canal, so when my time came to need one, Dr. Zucker is who I called. Believe me, root canals aren't easy! Imagine snaking a .6mm clogged drain, upside down, looking through a mirror. Not to mention people are terrified of getting root canals, but the horror stories you hear are of the toothache that made you need one, not the actual procedure. Yes, we dentists are creepily noisy, it's hard holding your mouth open, etc, but the procedure was completely painless and afterwards, I had some nice hot coffee, and later some ice water, forgetting that I no longer had to contort my tongue to cover up my previously painful tooth! I smiled and said a silent thank you to Dr. Zucker and team!! Now I'm shouting it out on Yelp.

They no longer know who you are or have the same staff who care as much as the previous did. The drama between staff or unprofessionalism to clients is one of the many reasons I no longer come here. The dentists are always nice but often client education is lacking simply because they do not have the time. How unfortunate.

    5 yrs in as an out of pocket patient, Dr Jenna Swensen tossed me like trash from an appt booked 2…read moreweeks ago. tldr; don't go to Dr Swensen at Minnehaha Falls Family Dental for a prosthesis. I have a public speaking event in 2 days, as Swensen and her staff know. I'm already embarrassed. Context: 10/22, after 10 yrs of perfect fit & eating w it in, the 'flipper' my old dentist made broke. When it did, Minnehaha Falls Family Dental staff kindly booked me asap. A hygenist molded me for a new one. I bought 2, because unless you're 6, missing a front tooth ain't cute. Anyway, either the molds were off or the lab was off. None of them fit right. The initial attempt to fit 1 took around an hour. It was frustrating. I mentioned that my previous one hadn't needed adjustment, which might have started turning things sour, sorry to say. But it was an honest observation. Finally I said I'd wear it a while and see how it settled. It didn't. I had to go back for increasingly tense attempts to make it fit, which it was ultimately impossible to do, and then we started over, which meant another mold experience which, if you have a sensitive gag reflex, is an embarrassing, drooling, uncomfortable, messy experience. It also for me anyway leaves my jaws aching. The Dr did the 2nd mold herself, and it was a better fit, but still required extensive mods. These were done over 2 more office visits. This still puzzles me, as they all were cast directly from 3D molds of my mouth. How can they require actual hours of grinding down? It was a prolonged, unpleasant experience, and by the end I felt uncomfortable tension, as though I was being difficult on purpose. Due to that, and money issues, I didn't schedule to fit the 'backup' until the one I paid for shattered in my mouth 4/17. To make the appt I paid for the backup (they hadn't pursued me, perhaps to be kind after all the hassle) and thought I was also booking a cleaning. This time, no MN Nice for how it feels to have a gap in your smile. I was booked 2 weeks out. At the office, I learned there would be no cleaning. That was fine. The assistant offered me one later today, but I couldn't make it. I was polite. They were polite. Things seemed ok. It wasn't. I asked the Dr about fixing the old flippers, she said sure, depending how they broke. She asked how it had broken, I said while taking a bite. Her tone sounded a bit annoyed to me when she 'it's just for aesthetics', and I told her my previous one wasn't, and I couldn't get why this one wasn't built so a person can eat with friends. She began speaking softly in partial sentences w the assistant, in abbreviations. She put the new flipper in and it fit the same as the other: Ok on the sides. Too big on top and in front. She took a quick stab at grinding it, then suddenly left the room. All those hours in Dr Swensen's chair came to my mind. Hers too, I guess. She came back , and with a small laugh, told her assistant to get me a referral "only" (ie, she wasn't doing this) and a refund. The laugh really got me. I got up fast and asked about fixing any of the flippers for temporary use for my speaking event. She handed me the boxes of broken and ill fitting prosthetics, said "the referral would do..." and trailed off. It hit me she was refusing to even assist in a temporary fix, and that I would most likely be facing the room with my tooth still punched out. I saw to her, I was beneath her help. I tore off the bib and went right to the desk. There was a refund. There was no referral.

    I have to start this review by saying that I had the good fortune to not be here for me, but rather…read moremy husband. Hubbie had put off dealing with a painful tooth for over a year. Why? Idk. Occasionally I'd casually ask him when he was planning to make an appointment. Not nagging, just curiosity. It's his mouth and pain tolerance level, not mine. Every once and a while we'd be enjoying dinner on the couch watching a show and he'd do this sudden sharp inhale and I knew he'd hit his tooth again. He scheduled plenty of car maintenance appointments during the year plus that his tooth was hurting, but not a dentist appointment. Cis men. *shakes head* ANYWAY, I guess it finally got to a point where he could put it off no longer and he got a dental appointment and they told him- rather predictably after putting it off so long- that he required a root canal, and they referred him here. I've never been the lucky recipient of a root canal, so I wasn't sure if he was going to be okay to drive after the appointment. He was confident he would go straight to work afterwards. I wasn't so sure. I drove him to the location and he checked in; the front desk staff seemed friendly. They had free chapstick and squares of chocolate (Ghirardelli!), which I totally snagged a couple of, despite not being the patient, LOL. I found it funny they had chocolate there... maybe as a "Look what you'll get to enjoy again once your mouth is fixed..." Haha! We didn't have to wait long before his name was called and he went back. I didn't know how long the procedure would be, but I'd brought my journal and a book to pass the time. (Honestly, it was a bit annoying they didn't supply me/us a little more information ahead of time.) They also had an absolutely MASSIVE flatscreen in the lobby playing some version of Iron Chef (again with the food at the oral surgeon! Such cruelty... lol). The lobby itself was posh AF. Like, a little TOO nice, y'know? Like they must be making bank. This wasn't some family dentist office where they have the cute little corner with LEGOs and an old VHS player CRT TV for the kiddos. Oh well, aha. That said, my hubbie only shelled out $250 (after insurance- who knows how much the insurance paid) for the procedure, which he was grateful for. (Unfortunately, the temporary crown and custom crown were not so affordable, but that was at another separate office.) My hubbie seems to have also been one of the lucky ones with no adverse effects. He required only a couple doses of ibuprofen post-procedure and reported repeatedly and frequently how wonderful it was to not be in pain while eating anymore. XD Maybe next time he'll go in sooner... though honestly here's hoping for no "next time" at all!

    The service was good and staff was courteous. Felt the cost and service rendered breakdown for a…read moreroot canal I had performed was horribly outlined. Wasn't told I would incur additional charges and in voices prior to initial procedure. Was told the additional service was required but was never told the additional cost would occur until after initial service.
