Literally everyone who helped us with extremely kind and courteous, from the beginning to the end. I came in for a biopsy on a growth my regular hygienist found on my gum, and I was pretty nervous about the whole thing. Dr. Katherine Smith was amazing, and made me feel comfortable right away! Like I said, the whole team, everyone we ran into at the clinic was extremely nice and very helpful.

My wife and baby girl came with me, and everyone was so nice them and made it fun for our baby, too! I would absolutely without a doubt recommend Twin Cities Periodontics. If I ever need to see a periodontist again, I would 1000% go to see Dr. Smith and the team again! Thank you so much Dr. Smith and Twin Cities Periodontics!

After seeing Dr. Nicolas Lowe, I left the office feeling like it was Christmas and my birthday all rolled into one! I had lost a front tooth crown 3 months prior while wintering in Florida leaving a gaping hole, and my Minnesota dentist preferred I worked with one of her Periodontists here. After wearing a very uncomfortable device my 'emergency Florida Dentist' gave me for 3 full months, I walked out of my Minnesota appointment with Dr. Lowe with the dental implant done, and he used my previous crown as the replacement!

It looks amazing! No more uncomfortable device needed. I just have to be careful to not chew or bite on this tooth while the bone graft takes hold. Thank you SO much, Dr. Lowe! I never even hoped it would look so good in just one day!

I always appreciate the care I get at Twin Cities Periodontics. Dr Malek is kind and so very skilled. He thought through my procedure and changed the plan so it saved me a substantial amount of money. His staff is excellent. I had no pain the day after. I highly recommend this group of dentists.

I've been going to TCP since 1996 when my dentist Dr. Russell (now retired) recommended Dr. Gaspard (RIP). I've been seeing Dr. Lowe regularly and have found him to be an excellent doctor. He is highly trained, explains everything in an understandable way and does great work. I highly recommend him especially for complicated dentistry healthcare.

I have been putting off gum grafting surgery for 10+ years. Dr. Skinner and his staff put me at ease and made me very comfortable. Dr. Skinner made sure I was comfortable throughout the experience- checking in for questions and ensuring pain and anxiety were managed. So far recovery is much better than I had anticipated.

Dr. Lowe is a very caring periodontist. He is very patient and good at explaining the treatment plans. He did two bone graphing surgery on my gum and the experience was satisfactory both times. When he told me that my treatment plan has changed, he told me that he would give me discount for my next/final surgery for teeth implants because the second bone graph did fulfill its promise. I really appreciate that. Overall Dr. Lowe is a excellent periodontist and I highly recommend him to anyone who needs periodontal treatment.

I absolutely loved my visit here after being referred by my dentist for gum recession. Every single person was kind, the periodontist explained my options incredibly well and I never felt rushed. Highly recommended!

The staff was very responsive to an urgent request, corresponding with my dental office and scheduling me the next day. Dr Lowe was informative and comprehensive with explaining the issues, options and implementing a procedure that day. Very positive experience overall.

Dr. Lareau was awesome. So kind and friendly, and so knowledgeable! He asked questions I'd never been asked by a dentist before, and the answers all related back to not only my dental health, but my health in general, which was so helpful. Plus, since I'm terrified of any sort of dentist, his demeanor, as well as that of his staff, put me at ease. I recommend him highly, along with the rest of the staff!

I had a very positive experience in spite of my not taking care of my teeth as I should have. Karen was extremely patient with me and motivated me to do better. She did a great job. See you in a year.

I recently had to get a tooth extracted and replaced with an implant. I was super nervous and stumbled upon this place after wanting a second opinion. Dr. Malek and everyone here is amazing! They made this experience stress and pain free. They were able to extract my tooth and place the implant in the same day, and each appointment there after went very smooth. If you are in need of a dental implant you must come here!

I can't say enough great things about Twin City Periodontics. Dr Malek is highly skilled and amazing. After discovering an abscesses tooth that required extraction, he worked well into after hours to ensure I was cared for. He understood my situation and made special accommodations for my care. I'm grateful for his compassion, perfection, and dedication in service to his clients. I highly recommend TCPerio, Dr. Malek and the friendly helpful team!

Dental hygienists are really good. With a minimum of pain, my teeth are really clean. The next day I noticed my nasal passages and throat were clearer. Over the last couple of years there has been no further gym erosion. What more could you expect.

I always get the best care. Dr. Malek does an excellent job and he always makes sure I'm comfortable. His care is pain free. And he respectfully listens to all my questions and gives me very well- considered answers. I highly recommend Dr. Malek, his dental assistant Laurie, and all the support staff at Twin Cities Periodontics.

Dr. Smith and her staff are amazing! I felt very comfortable and well taken care of during my two surgeries and with all the post op appts. Karen is a very skilled and kind hygienist- my teeth looked great when I left the office! OMT, the front desk staff is excellent and will bend over backwards to assist in any way.

I am having my first dental implant, and am close to the end of the process. My experience overall has been EXCEPTIONAL! I had watched several videos on the procedure and was very nervous in the beginning. When it comes to dental work I am so fearful. My anxiety was actually causing me to 2nd guess if I had made the right decision. But Dr. Smith has been absolutely AMAZING!

She explained the procedure in such detail which was very comforting. I adore her and her staff. Adrianna, Kathy and the other staff members are such a joy! They are so comforting, professional and very courteous. Due to this amazing experience, I am ready to prepare for 2 more implants. And I especially appreciate all of their efforts and safety protocols in keeping patients safe during Covid. I highly recommend Twin Cities Periodontist, especially Dr. Katherine Smith!

It's not like I really enjoy having this work done but if I do, I won't go anywhere else but to Dr Lowe. He and his staff are kind, caring, and very good at what they do. His "chair side manner" is one of kindness and he makes me relaxed when he is working on my tooth. The entire office is professional and fun!

I have had my two gum grafting surgeries at TC Periodontist and I am grateful for all of the friendly care I received throughout the experience. This is coming from someone with much anxiety surrounding mouth/dental care. Dr. Skinner did an excellent job & is very personable. I recommend Twin Cities Periodontist 100%!

I saw Dr Lowe one year ago for gum grafting on my 6 lower front teeth. Dr Lowe was professional, caring, and thorough. The procedure went smoothly. Dr Lowe and his assistant ensured my comfort the entire time. The results: one year later my dentist has a difficult time seeing where the grafting was. It's invisible to the average person. I no longer have sensitivity. I higher recommend Dr Lowe and his office at Twin Cities Periodontics.
