I brought my almost 4-year-old son in for a check-up, expecting a repeat of my experience at HealthPartners Dental a year earlier, which consisted of a few rides up and down in the chair and a quick inspection of his teeth. To my surprise, the hygienist at West River Dental (Quyen, I believe) set right to work becoming his friend and actually cleaning his teeth. I thought to myself "Oh, my, this wont end well..." because my son does not like pain, holding his mouth open, following instructions, or even sitting still, for that matter. I dont know exactly what magic powers she possessed, but he sat still and did (mostly) as she asked while she actually removed tartar from his teeth and did a thorough inspection. Its a true testament to her gentleness in actually cleaning teeth, and her knack with kids! Dr. Skadron was super nice and hit it off with my son as well. This was my first experience at West River Dental, but I can see why people come here, and why the reviews are so positive! 2014 Follow-up: Im now a patient here myself, and my son (now 5) came back for another cleaning and checkup which went just as well though this time it was with another hygienist, Pat. She did a super job with him as well! What really floored me was that they swooshed us in as we arrived: no waiting in the lobby at all! As a Dad - thats priceless! In all my dental visits, thats never happened to me before.

West River Dental Care is an amazing place! I wish I have found this place earlier. I have been visiting this office for a year and half and my experience is great. Dr. Michael Skadron did a wonderful job on fixing my teeth for teeth straightening. We have gone through the ClearCorrect. It is clear aligners to straighten teeth without braces. With his wonderful skill, now I have a beatiful smile and I m very happy with it. Also, he is very friendly and nice Dr. He gave me free teeth whitening kit. I also had cleaning with Quyen. She clean my teeth very well and gently. Normally, after a teeth cleaning session, I feel sore gums. With Quyen, not at all! There is no paint or sore. Everytime, she clean my teeth, I almost fall in sleep because how gentle she did. Over all, I had a good experience with West River Dental Care and I would highly recommend this office if you like a friendly and good skill Dr.

I havent been to the dentist in quite some time as I was afraid of having any work done; which I knew I needed. However, over the weekend I broke my tooth in half. So, I was forced to go. After searching for a dentist in the area, I found West River Dental Care with so many positive reviews and they were able to get me in right away! I was so nervous, but everyone was extremely nice and really put me at ease. Dr. Skadron was GREAT and made me feel relaxed during the whole procedure! I even had to get a Novocain shot and it was PAINLESS! So happy! I left with a whole tooth and it actually looks better than before I broke it! I highly recommend Dr. Skadron and his wonderful staff and look forward to returning for all my dental needs!

Do not recommend. They have simply over charged me. I have asked Jennifer to send me itemized bill so I can inquiry the charge with my insurance. However, she did not send it for me. I have called again after about a week and asked Laura to send me itemized bill and she send me one finally. I have contacted my dental insurance and found that they have over charged me about $80 for a simple filling procedure. Asking for the refund is just another inconvenient task. Dr. Skodron also did not communicate with the patient about what he is planning to do. He only asked to open the mouth. However, it is a good practice to warn the patient about the time that he is planning to inject the numbing shot.

Meredith: My anxiety about dental work was fueled by years of complications & incompetence. Then I was referred to Dr. Skadron. He has been compassionate and professional-with absolutely no discomfort during the procedures! The staff are personable and kind-with great positive attitudes. His high technology means you get your crown in one visit- and he is very patient getting it to fit perfectly. (And Ive had several!!) Having diabetis still makes me prone to infections, so knowing I have a "personal and caring" dentist means the world to me...and he knows when to refer out to specialists!

I had a lovely first visit at West River Dental today! They slipped me in the morning after I called (which means a lot because I had called three other offices before them who didnt have any appointments for three more months!) The front office staff were super friendly and helpful, my cleaning by Quynh was thorough and gentle, and Dr. Skadron was super kind and talked me through a crown that Ill need to replace a deep filling. Thanks for a great experience!

Excellent, pain-free dental care delivered by some of the nicest people you will ever meet. I love getting my teeth cleaned by Pat while reclining on comfy chair that also provides a massage! Dr. Skadron and his team are always on the cutting edge, continually implementing new learning, technologies and procedures to make sure my teeth and mouth are healthy. I cant imagine going anywhere else for dental care and I live in Apple Valley!

My family and I have been under Dr. Skadrons care for 30 years. Michael and his staff are all highly skilled professionals who excel in both treatment and prevention. West River Dental offers state of the art dental medicine in a warm and friendly setting. I highly recommend Dr. Skadron and WRD regardless of where you live in the metro.

My teeth are now perfectly straight thanks to Dr.Skadron.Im 52 years old and my teeth had drifted into a tangled mess until Michael straightened them out for me.Using a high tech system of clear plastic trays my teeth moved into position like clockwork and nobody ever knew I was wearing them.I couldnt be happier with the result.

My whole family loves Dr. Skadron and his staff. He is easily the best dentist I have seen, and Ive seen many over the years. My 9 year old daughter actually gets excited for her cleaning appointments and my dentalphobic husband is to the point where he does not mind going - big progress. Thanks West River Dental!
