Richard L. Salmela D.D.S., P.A. cosmetic and family dentistry - Deephaven, MN…read more Hidden Treasure Hiking trails and bike paths that begin in the sway of sea grass along Lake Minnetonka's shoreline, cross over Minnetonka Boulevard where it curves past the front entrance of Dr. Salmela's Dental Office; and if you continue along this curve of road, you soon catch a sweeping glance of sailboats moving at top speed and buoyant private docks blissfully bouncing over waves. Endless sky and mirrored blue water as free and open as the day the receding glacier left it. How is it I discovered Dr. Salmela's somewhat nostalgic one-man Dental Office poised on the edge of this fair city of Deephaven; just a 10 minute bike ride to the private beach of Robinson's Bay? It's like finding hidden treasure. Dr. Salmela doesn't advertise. He doesn't have to. When I see him, he is smiling and asks how my aging parents are getting along in their senior living complex. He tells me that he visited the State Fair with his wife and kids and soon I am comfortably seated in his dental chair, feet up, enjoying efficient, individualized attention. I start each day with a steaming blast of espresso or Starbuck's featured dark roast. But this indulgence has left its ill effects upon my not-so-pearly whites, and try as I might I am unable to bleach out traces of the dark coffee blends. Following a dental exam and consultation, Dr. Salmela revs up his steely sonic flex cleaner brush, which gleams like the weaponry of a super-hero; shooting vapors of water with micro sonic vibrations undetected by the human eye. The results are stunning. I can feel the smoothness of my newly cleaned teeth. I have a fresh taste in my mouth, and I smile brightly as Wendy, the Dental Assistant holds up a hand mirror for my approval. Taking a detour before heading home; first stop is Starbuck's coffee, and then I follow a tranquil bit of road that wanders up a hill and down to the lake. I have been drawn to the Lake by the good people of Dr. Salmela's Dental practice, and return for the gentle, experienced dentistry and consistent results. Listening quietly as the water laps meditatively over the rocks that lie beneath the shallow waters of Lake Minnetonka, I take a gratifying sip of my Pumpkin Spice Latte. Thank you Dr. Salmela and Cheers, here's to finding hidden treasure!
