My children have been going to Willow Creek Dental for the past two years, and our experience has been consistently excellent. We’re always greeted with a smile, the providers are thorough and professional, and the dental assistants are incredibly kind and patient. A special shout-out to Shara, who always goes above and beyond to make my children feel comfortable. She genuinely takes an interest in who they are and what they have going on, which truly makes a difference. We’re so grateful to have such a caring and reliable dental clinic for our family.

I went there for my routine cleaning and exam, and always a great experience! Reception so welcoming, hygienist very thorough and pleasant. I saw Dr. Grant today and she was very knowledgeable, professional, and her bedside manner was A1. I continue to go to Willow Creek for my dental care needs as they're the best at what they do! Highly recommend!

The staff are very friendly and willing to answer any questions. They aren't harsh about appointment times like some offices which is nice. They use modern techniques and machines to make the experience far more pleasant than others.

I’m deathly afraid of going to the dentist!!! Especially considering that I haven’t been to one in way over 10 years or more!!! The girls at willow creek are very kind and gentle!!! Best part of everything is that they actually talk to me while I’m at my appointment and that makes me feel important!!!

Just a typical visit to get my teeth cleaned and checked. I guess we put our trust in the person cleaning the teeth and the dentist checking them. They seem to be thorough about their job. I’ve always had good luck there.

About Willow Creek Dental
Willow Creek Dental is a general and family dental practice located on East 26th Street in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, serving patients throughout the Sioux Falls area. The practice is part of the CD Family Dentistry group, which includes sister locations across South Dakota and Minnesota. For patients exploring tooth replacement, Willow Creek Dental offers dental implant solutions, including All-on-4 and full-arch treatment, working in collaboration with an oral surgeon to replace missing teeth with restorations designed to function like natural teeth.
Beyond implants, the office provides a full range of family dental services, including dentures for patients who prefer a removable option, extractions, sedation dentistry for anxious or complex cases, and custom mouth guards for teeth grinding or sports protection. The practice also accepts most insurance plans and Medicaid and offers financing options, and it maintains emergency availability for patients experiencing dental pain outside of regular office hours. Patients considering implants can expect a team-based approach that combines the practice's general dentists with outside oral surgery support to plan and complete treatment.
About the Care Team
Dr. Christopher Dickes is the primary dentist at Willow Creek Dental. He graduated from Creighton University School of Dentistry in 2005 and began his career in service, spending four years as a dentist in the U.S. Navy aboard the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76) before his honorable discharge in 2009. He then practiced in the Dayton, Ohio area while his wife completed medical school, and two years later the couple returned to their home state of South Dakota, where he spent four years caring for patients in the state's correctional system and human services center.
That experience shaped the practice he built next. Willow Creek Dental provides checkups, cleanings, restorative care, and tooth replacement for patients of all ages, with sedation options for patients who feel anxious about treatment. Dr. Dickes also treats patients other offices often cannot, including care delivered in a hospital setting for those who struggle with conventional dental care. With the support of his family, staff, and dental health partners, the practice serves patients in Yankton, Sioux Falls, and the Huron area.
