    This place does not have the same feel anymore. I am glad they are so busy and have a lot of…read moreclients but it shows. 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.

    We've been coming here for my kids routine dental care. Dr. Adam is very approachable and the…read morestaffs are friendly and conversational. They are very good with kids and the hygienist are great at explaining what is going to happen to the kiddos. My daughter said, "This is her favorite dentist place because they let her pick out a prize!" Each child got to pick out a toothbrush and gets a travel size toothpaste and kids floss. Dr. Adam was great to answer any questions we have our struggles with teeth brushing tricks. My youngest was seen by Dr. Adam at 18 months because she wasn't very good with letting us brush her teeth and developed an infection but we got right in to get her some antibiotics. Highly recommend Hale Family Dental. My husband has switched over to Dr. Adam after his regular dentist retired.

    Yay! Can't explain enough how grateful I am for Adam and the amazing team at Hale dental…read more Was looking for a quick squeeze in for some tooth pain and I literally got in same day! They were so accommodating and I was able to get my cavity filled in the same appointment! Adam is great! I've had multiple dentists of the years and I truly think I've found my home. Incredibly kind, GENUINE and HONEST about what the best options are for you! Having this experience makes me realize how subpar any other offices I've been to has truly been. (Not meaning time poke but it's the truth - you don't know how blah your previous experiences are until you have an AMAZING one) I love out of state and truly think I'll make it back twice a year for visits of course but also for my bi annual dentist appointment! Thank you guys so darn much!
