  • Preventive Care - Protect your smile with regular cleanings and exams. We also treat dry mouth, bad breath, and gum disease to support your overall health.
  • Restorative Dentistry - Regain the function and appearance of your smile with our restorative treatments. We offer fillings, same-day crowns, bridges, and dentures to repair damage and replace missing teeth.
  • Cosmetic Dentistry - Enhance your smile's beauty with customized cosmetic treatments. Dr. Herbert offers veneers, whitening, Invisalign, and bonding to help you achieve your ideal smile.
  • Invisalign - Clear plastic aligners offer an easier way to straighten teeth than braces. You won't need to have wires tightened, and you'll make fewer visits to our office during treatment. Aligners typically work in less time than braces too.
  • Dental Implants - Complete your smile with implant-supported restorations. We'll collaborate with specialists for implant placement and provide lifelike crowns, bridges, or dentures.
  • Emergency Dental Care - Don't let dental emergencies ruin your day. We offer same-day appointments when possible to quickly address toothaches, injuries, or broken restorations.

Switched hygienists in coming to J&D Dental and it was the greatest dental experience I have ever had. Sarah is not only exceptional, but the care was impressive as well. The technology available is first class, and a simple cleaning procedure was a breeze. Dr. Herbert is beyond personable and great at her craft as well. Could not recommend J&D Dental more highly.

I happened to get a mailer from them right when I was considering trying a downtown dentist after a recent move, and I'm so glad I did. The hygienist was great, as was the dentist (Sarah), and their tech was even better than my last office (which was top notch). I highly recommend these folks!

Douglas Meisner

First and only dentists office I have ever been to, hoping to keep it that way. Staff is great. Service is excellent. So many people talk about how they hate going to the dentist, but with J & D Dental the experience is enjoyable. I tell my friends about my dentist office and they get jealous.

Teeth scraped, cleaned and polished by a terrific hygienist, periodontal check with out pain or bleeding, Dr Herbert checks my Invisaline progress and crown replacement issue and together we discuss and find a way to get them done before the end of the year - a win-win for everyone! I love the professionalism of Dr Jennifer Herbert, DDS and her amazing staff and their willingness to work with every patient's anxities and idiocinracies. Thank you for giving me back my smile.

I've been a patient here for 20+ years and have only ever had positive experiences. The ladies at the front desk are welcoming, the dental hygienists are kind and gentle, and Dr. Herbert and her assistants are excellent. My dental hygiene habits have fluctuated over the years and during the worst of times, I was treated with the same respect and care that I'm treated with now. I cannot recommend and thank Dr. Herbert and her amazing team enough.

I was in Minneapolis on business and needed some urgent dental work done. I contacted J & D and they were able to work me into the schedule. I chose them because of their five star rating and they certainly did not disappoint. The entire staff was amazing to work with and Dr. Herbert was incredible. If I lived in Minneapolis, this would be my Dentist without any question. Highly recommended!! Thanks Dr. Herbert and staff for taking such great care of me!!
