I absolutely LOVED it! I was able to get in so fast, had everything I was concerned about taken care of and even more. Everyone was so friendly and I would highly recommend Dakota Dental Associates PC to everyone looking for dental services, which we will. We sell Medicare services, and we plan to recommend Dakota Dental to people, since they are taking on new clients.

My dental hygienist is the BEST!!! She is super friendly and easy to talk to. Laid back and so personable. Feel like I have known her forever, I am never anxious about my cleanings. She does a wonderful job!!!

Had such a great experience today! My hygienist Sherry and Dr.Cummings were incredibly gentle, thorough, and made me feel comfortable the entire appointment. I usually get nervous at the dentist, but they were so kind and reassuring along with Dr.Cummings answering all my questions. My teeth feel amazing, and I really appreciated how caring and patient they were. Highly recommend!

My 6 year old son had a very painful tooth. Dakota Dental Associates were able to fit us in right away that same morning. Everyone in the building was very friendly and professional. Everything was very clean and comfortable. We had very little wait times and everyone communicated with us very thoroughly and succinctly. The doctor we saw was thorough in her examination and listened to our concerns. A+

Dr Bothun and all of the staff at Dakota Dental are top notch! I have been going to Dr Bothun for several years and he is very knowledgeable, careful, and kind. He has done excellent work whether it has been veneers, crowns, bridges, fillings etc. it has all been done professionally and compassionately. The hygienists and assistants are also so wonderful at their jobs and make a person feel at ease. From the receptionist to the appointment/billing staff everything is explained and carried out in an exceptional manner! I highly recommend Dakota Dental.
