Our 9 year old needed a permanent molar extracted. Dr Tanabe was fantastic with her during the consultation. He realized she wanted to know what to expect so he explained everything in terms she was able to understand and didn’t make it seem scary. He calmed her nerves and was extremely patient with her. On the day of her procedure her nurse was amazing. She was kind, upbeat, and just what my daughter needed. I highly recommend Dr Tanabe and staff.

Staff is kind and efficient. Dentist Tonaka was very thorough in his explanation of condition and possible outcomes based on treatment decision. Researched possible problems due to existing osteoporosis treatments. Communicated with primary physician to discuss treatment. Was able to set up appointment within hours of visit.

My 6 year old son needed an urgent molar extraction. We were referred over to Valley Oral and they squeezed us in for a quick consultation and Dr. Tanabe literally popped in the room in-between scheduled procedures to see us. He and his staff were amazing. They were so good with my son, they explained to him what to expect in a way that he understood. They spoke directly to him and made him feel very comfortable. They put him at ease and he was fearless through his procedure because of it. A+++ to this establishment and their staff!

I had a dental abscess and called in an early Monday morning dental emergency. They were incredibly efficient and got me in right away. They drained the abscess, extracted the problematic tooth, and sent me on my way in under an hour. The entire process was smooth and professional. The staff was kind and attentive, and Dr. Petersen was excellent.

Surgery was easy and quick, got all 4 wisdom teeth removed. Surgeon was super nice and overall great experience! Everyone there is very kind and makes sure you're comfortable. I was very nervous but I was out like a light before they even started 😂 One of the nurses though talks super fast so pay close attention! 😅 Definitely recommend!!!

About Valley Oral & Facial Surgery
Valley Oral & Facial Surgery serves patients in Grand Forks, Bismarck, and West Fargo, North Dakota, offering a full scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery. This includes dental implant placement along with bone grafting and sinus lift procedures that are often needed to prepare the jaw for implants. The practice also treats wisdom teeth removal, tooth extractions, facial trauma, facial pain, and TMJ disorders, and performs corrective jaw surgery.
For patients considering dental implants, the practice describes implants as a long term tooth replacement option that looks and feels natural, helps prevent the bone loss that can change facial structure over time, and does not require cutting down healthy adjacent teeth as a bridge would. After an implant consultation, patients meet with a treatment coordinator to review the treatment plan and costs, and the office works to submit information to insurance and outline payment options. With three convenient locations, the team aims to walk patients through every step of the process and follow up after surgery to check on recovery.
