Angell Family Dentistry

I haven’t been to the dentist in years (I didn’t have dental insurance during grad school, gulp) and I finally asked around for recommendations for a good place to go. My friend Rachel enthusiastically recommended Angell Family Dentistry, saying she’d never had a better dentist experience anywhere. So I booked my kids (ages 3, 3 and 10) for checkups.
Wow. I was BLOWN AWAY by how smoothly my 3-​year-​old twins’ (very first ever) visit was! The receptionist was incredibly kind and accommodating and helpful, and in addition to the space being clean and beautiful (love the TVs on the ceiling in every room!) the staff were absolutely pros at calming down toddlers. They explained everything they were going to do for my toddlers, showed them all the equipment, and somehow got them to sit still for a full cleaning. Amazing. No tears, no tantrums, no crying. I came in expecting the worst (toddlers are flighty, noisy, irrational creatures, after all) and couldn’t believe how well it went.
The boys both received two tokens to pick out prizes from the prize machine after their checkup, and they were delighted with their little bag that had a new toothbrush, a timer, and a rubber ducky from the dentist. I will definitely be returning for my kids’ dental care, and making an appointment for myself as well.
Updated to add that after coming back for my older son (10) I am blown away by how helpful their administrative staff are! An incredibly helpful woman at the front desk did the work of calling my insurance company, finding out exactly what was covered, and exactly what my out-​of-​pocket expenses would be. Amazing. I love that! Dealing with my insurance company is one of my least favorite things, and Angell’s staff handled it all for me much quicker and more easily than I ever could have myself.

Great dental office if you like being given the run-​around.
I scheduled an appointment and was told via voicemail that I would have to be waitlisted due to my insurance type, although the my insurance was stated incorrectly in the voicemail. I called the office to clear up the misunderstanding. The receptionist called my healthcare provider again to double-​check my insurance information. Shortly thereafter, I received two voicemails – the first reiterating that I would have to be waitlisted (again, listing the wrong insurance type), and the second stating that they would see me at my appointment. Confusing, right?
It’s not too far away, so I decided to just show up for the appointment so I could speak to someone in-​person (I didn’t need any more conflicting voicemails). When I got there, the receptionist brought up the waitlist again and said they wouldn’t be able to see me that day! I explained that the most recent voicemail I received confirmed the appointment, but she offered no apology for the confusion.
She was unable to produce any kind of waitlist policy on the spot. She offered to mail one to me and took my address, but to this day, I have received nothing. My address has not changed.
Egregious customer service. Scheduling a dentist appointment should never be this much of a headache.

I love both dentists! They’re a father/​son team and both doing great work! Shelly cleans my teeth and I just love her. I’ve had insurance issues and the office staff has been great in helping me work through it. They remodeled several years ago and they have the most comfortable chairs and TVs in everyroom. They have state of the art equipment as well. I never dread my appointments at Angell Family Dentistry! I have moved from the area, but continue to treat at the practice.

Wow, what a great find! I was looking for a dentist that did everything in the office (root canals, cleanings, fillings, etc. etc) and this is the place! People are über nice and knowledgeable… totally recommend this place… best dentist EVER!!!

The filling from my previous visit faded quickly so I went back to have it redone. David Angell handled the re-​do and I felt like I was in good hands. He was much more thorough than the previous doc, making sure my other teeth around the fix worked well mechanically, and aesthetically with the fixed tooth.
They didn’t charge me for the fix and stand by their work. Much much better. I’ll be going back for a simple cleaning soon, so we’ll see if they bombard me with more requests for x-​rays. :-)

This place rocks. I had gone to a dentist on Snelling Ave. for years, and then realized that my dentist was a giant asshole, and thought, why am I paying this guy? I went in search of a new dentist and found Angell Family Dentistry. This place is beautiful. They TV’s in every room, the staff is so nice, and they really make you feel comfortable.
They are very thorough, if they ever recommend a procedure they walk you through it, tell you exactly how much it will cost, and exactly what they will do. They even videos of how they will perform it. The prices are reasonable, and the whole place is very calm and inviting, unlike basically any other dentist. I definitely trust them, they are a great group!

This is my dentist’s office and I really like them. There is a father and son dentist team, and they just renovated their offices, complete with TVs above the exam chairs, so you can watch the Travel Channel instead of thinking about scraping on your teeth. They’re also very nice and friendly, and I don’t feel like they pressure you into unnecessary work. We have dental insurance that covers routine cleanings, etc. so I’m not really sure of their out-​of-​pocket prices.
