Everyone there is great. Had an accident at work and needed a ton of dental work. They took care of…read moreeverything and exceeded my expectations. I hate dentists. The doctor was very nice and told me exactly what they were going to do and when. Even the surgeon they referred me too was great.

This used to be my dentist for years, but never had any real issues with cavities or major work…read more When had a cracked tooth earlier this year was in extreme pain they got me to agree to a procedure that they told me was covered by my insurance and provided no alternative course of action so i agreed. Afterward when leaving they tried to stick me with a bill of well over 1k. So they lied about my insurance covering it, provided no good faith estimate if they wouldnt be covering it, and no alternative course of action for a costly procedure. Nomatter the excuse they might have of being rushed during emergency dental work or whatever excuse they may have, to me it seems like they are far too willing to take advantage of someone in a delicate position to cash in. If they would have not lied or double checked insurance, given a good faith estimate, or pretended that the most expensive option wasnt the only option i would likely still be a customer. Have lost all respect for this dental office and will not be returning, and disputing the remaining half of the outrageous bill. Beware, before allowing these folks to do anything! Just because they say it doesnt make it true and you might want to get a 2nd opinion. After reading some other reviews im upset to have even trusted these people to perform on me at all.

Ya know, I've been through a lot with this dentistry. Cavities, root canal, cleanings, sickness in…read morethe middle of first attempt of the root canal. What they are: kind. I'm not even saying that because I love going to the dentist, because I certainly don't look forward to the dentist. I leave this place feeling taken care of and caught up with. The dentists and all the staff do a great job writing down and remembering details about me that they know how to pick right back up after. Lining up cleanings 6 months apart while in college is hard but when I come back, even after almost a year and a half like I did today, I went in and they made it easy for me. My teeth are clean and healthy, I left with a new toothbrush, flossers and toothpaste- so I'm set til next time. I normally see Dr.Phillips but when she's gone I also love to see Johnson. Friendly staff here!

I went to Tonka Smiles for a cleaning and exam back in 10/2025. They are in network with the…read moreHealthPartners dental insurance I had at the time and offer nitrous. As someone who prefers female dentists, I love that the staff is all women. :) The team - Dr. Phillips, Julie, RDH, Kara, RDA, and the front desk staff - are friendly and thorough. The main reason this rating is 4 rather than 5 stars is that I felt they recommended work I didn't really need, specifically a crown. Dr. Philips recommended a crown on my bottom right molar where I had a root canal in 11/2017. I'm 8 years out from the procedure and neither the endodontist who did the root canal nor the 3 general dentists I saw between 2018-25 said I needed one. Though she said it's common practice to place a crown after a root canal to avoid the tooth from breaking, I'm reluctant to undergo a procedure on a tooth that has caused zero issues for 8 years. At first I thought she found something other dentists missed but later realized that 4 other dentists (endodontist followed by 3 general dentists) would have said something sooner if I really needed a crown. Other than the root canal, there was no abnormal findings clinically or on the x-ray that convinced me to follow Dr. Phillips' recommendation that I get a crown. Now, if I had a cavity, I would get that filled right away to avoid further decay. But when none of my previous dentists over the past 8 years told me I need a crown and I'm not having pain in that tooth, why create work when none is needed? She also recommended fixing a small chip on one of my front teeth and Invisalign from my bottom teeth, though both were cosmetic so I declined. By comparison, my previous dentist of 5 years NEVER recommended any of the above work. To her credit, Dr. Phillips wasn't pushy about getting the work done. When I asked if it's likely I'd lose the tooth over the next few months if I don't get a crown, she couldn't say. I know it's not always possible to predict medical/dental outcomes but her not knowing told me that I didn't have to make a decision right away and I'd likely be fine without the crown. If the recommendation for a crown was made because I had pain and/or a fracture/other abnormal pathology was found, I'd be more on board getting it, especially if I had been going to the practice for years and didn't need dental work beyond cleanings until now. But as a first time patient to the practice, having a procedure recommended for a tooth that hasn't caused pain or other issues for 8 years makes me question whether I truly need the crown or it's financially motivated. I moved back to my home state in late March so I cancelled the cleaning previously scheduled for April. If I were to see them again (as I want to move back to MN in a few years) and they recommended any dental work beyond bi-annual cleanings, I'd get a second opinion before agreeing to anything. However, I'd more likely find another dental practice that is more conservative in their recommendations, similar to the dentist I previously saw prior to moving to MN.
