I love this Dental Clinic! Everyone here is very friendly, nice & Patient with me. They take the time to listen to my questions and answer them with great detail. Excellent location, very clean facilities, and have a large separate bathroom for privacy as well.

I'm in the beginning process of getting my Dental Implants. Between Dr. Christina Van Guilder and her wonderful staff they truly make it a very rewarding experience everytime. The overall kindness I have received makes it a very relaxing experience. Plus the overall sense of humor from the staff, you can tell that they're a pretty close team. I'm so extremely happy that I went with this office for my Dental Implants Procedure. I will most definitely be recommending this office to my friends and family.

I came to Dakota Family Dentistry after my childhood dentist retired. It was difficult going to a new office but my experience has been wonderful. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming and they clearly enjoy what they do in a great environment. My hygienist Stephanie is pretty cool too!

I've been going to Dakota Family Dentistry for about five years now. All of the dental hygienists have been very friendly and polite. I especially value the service I get with Dr. Van Guilder! Even the people that work in their billing department were extremely helpful (even more so than my dental insurance contacts). They are real people who take the time to help you figure out what you need, and they have the professionalism to make sure the first answer is the right answer.

Absolutely phenomenal service! Everyone was very friendly, knowledgeable and made me feel part of their family. From the front desk staff, to Laurie the dental assistant and Stephanie the hygienist to Dr. Christina Van Guilder, I was treated with respect. They also took care to explain step by step what was happening and offering gentle recommendations for my at home dental care. They were honest and I left with my teeth looking and feeling great.
I highly recommend and will continue to use them as dentist. I also want to add how I appreciate them not treating me negatively for using a Groupon for my first visit. Thank you for your professionalism
