I've been going to Apple Valley Dental Care for the past four years, and my experience has been…read moreconsistently excellent. The office is always clean, well-organized, and very welcoming, which makes every visit comfortable.The quality of care is outstanding. Dr. Levine and Dr. Bakken are both great professional, knowledgeable, and they take the time to explain everything clearly. The hygienists also do an amazing job; they are gentle, thorough, and make sure you feel well taken care of during each visit.Overall, from the office environment to the level of care and attention to detail, this place truly stands out. I highly recommend Apple Valley Dental Care to anyone looking for reliable and high-quality dental care.

I switched dentists because my last retired and I have extreme anxiety when it comes to dentists so I was not looking forward to finding a new one and trying to get comfortable again. I'm very glad I found Dr. Kinney and her team though. They've all been so sweet and made me feel so comfortable. One of my last appointments, my husband was running late so I had to bring our 1 year old son with because there was no way I was missing my appointment that I had, had for 2 months. Well, the front desk ladies immediately took him and brought him to hangout with them while I got started with my appointment. I seriously couldn't thank them all enough. If you're in need of a new dentist, I highly recommend this group of ladies!

Second time come back keep try to sell stuff like saying I need a crown when really filling will do the work. Third time come back to get cavity done she schedule for cleaning instead. I feel like the dentist will only be nice if she can make money out of you. Previous dentist was great sadly he retired! I would not recommend this place . The only reason why they still in business because of great hygienist. Oh by the way thank you for sending me a bill for 50$ miss appointment when I told you advance that I'm not coming in as you schedule me for a cleaning when I ask for a filling. Extremely bad business and unethical practices !

I've been a patient for 25 years and their staff performance has gone downhill…read more Pros: They don't try to do unnecessary work The dentist seems highly skilled, gentle and keeps up with new technology/treatments Free ample parking Cons: The last time I went for a cleaning/checkup the office staff was somewhat disorganized and slow. First of all I had to wait quite awhile to be seen and that used to be pretty rare. They couldn't find my dental and health records including meds I take and they had them. I had seen another dentist 6 months earlier who had sent over their records and Schara Dentistry wanted me to contact the other dentist to get gum measurements so I was all ready to do that (to my surprise) and right before I walked out the door they found them. They also told me I was going to have to pay out of pocket for the cleaning because my insurance only covered the 2 cleanings I had during the year (which is fine) but they were going to let me leave without paying until I mentioned it and then they insisted that I pay immediately. The person who checked me out was very slow and wasted a lot of time and didn't communicate with me so I was just standing there waiting and waiting, wondering what was going on. The new hygienist made me hold the suction hose through the whole cleaning which I've never had to do at any dentist before. They normally just hook it over the edge of your mouth and let it hang -- it was odd. Aside from the standard lecture that I don't brush properly she was fine.

I cannot say enough good things about Schara Dentistry! I had the same dentist for 25 years- and…read moreafter he retired I had a couple bad experiences and stopped going to the dentist completely. By the time I was referred to Dr. Schara, I was in bad shape (and learned that I don't handle tooth pain very well). From the first time I saw him, and every time since, both him and his entire staff has been wonderful- even though I am sure I am not the easiest patient to deal with. They have always managed to calm my nerves and keep me distracted from "the task at hand." I have never once encountered an unpleasant person in either office. Ashley and Deb both go above and beyond when I'm in the chair and Carmen is super helpful when it comes to questions and appointment scheduling. Truly- I thank you all from the bottom of my heart!

I was looking for a new dentist and I called because one of my friends had said they were great but…read morethe receptionist was SO rude on the phone! She pretty much turned me away and said the doctor isn't taking new clients and will only take patients if they are family! I would stay away from this office since the receptionist thinks she can make decisions without asking the dentist first. Very disappointing to be treated so rudely and talked to so poorly!

Without a doubt, I highly recommend St Paul Dental Center!…read more I was a lucky (or unlucky) person to not have two adult teeth come in and at the ripe age of 27 one baby tooth decided it was time to go. My regular dentist pulled my tooth and recommended I go to Dr. Lingle for my implant. From my initial consultation appointment, I was highly impressed and I knew I was in good hands. The staff is very professional and they explain the entire process thoroughly and they don't let you walk out of the office until your confident and understand everything. They explained the implant procedure process, the timeline, the billing, how they would work with my regular dentist throughout the process, and schedule my appointment immediately, I was amazed! Shortly after, I had my implant done. It was a very quick and painless procedure where Dr. Lingle explained everything he was doing and made sure I was okay the entire time. As we wrapped up and I was about to head home, he gave me the office phone number, his cell phone number, and home phone number in case I had questions or any issues. Luckily, I never had to call to him because everything went perfectly. The worst part about this process was that my insurance company told me they covered my implant and afterwards they said they didn't. After talking with three employees at my insurance company and not getting anywhere, I spoke with Dr. Lingle's office and they took immediate action and had an answer to me within 24 hours. I was so impressed by how they helped me that it helped my frustrations with my insurance company not helping. After some healing time, I visited for my final appointment and I healed up perfectly and was ready for the next step in my process. Even though my insurance won't cover in the future, I will be returning for my 2nd implant when the time comes. I know that when I'm at St Paul Dental Center I am in great hands and I'm confident in the work that they do. I would recommend them to anyone. PS- The free parking is nice too!​

On my…read moresecond visit, I was told that my insurance was considered out of network BUT that they had MANY patients with my insurance and they would work to get most of my visit covered (it was just a routine cleaning and X-rays). the hygienist was lovely and very kind and sympathetic. I had to wait in the chair for a very long time after the cleaning to speak with the doctor (so long I had to make calls to cancel things and make alternate arrangements for my kids). When the dentist finally came in, she started a conversation about the high costs of running a dental practice?!? (We had only met one time before this). She then seemed shocked when she presented her very elaborate plan to me and I responded with "yes, lets please start with the most urgent and space treatment out because cost is a very serious concern and barrier". she then sent her hygienist in to ask me if I wanted veneers!!!!!! months later, a $500 bill arrived..... that did not at all match any of the estimates and promises I had been given for a simple cleaning and xrays. now that I am here looking through other reviews, I see that this is something other patients have experienced as well. truly unfortunate since it is a nice office with a great premise.
