Whether you're in for a routine checkup, restoring your smile, or thinking about Invisalign, Dr. Herbert takes the time to understand what matters most to you so you can make informed decisions about your care.

Who is Dr. Jennifer Herbert?

What can you expect from Dr. Herbert?

Dr. Herbert believes good dental care starts with listening.

She takes the time to understand what you're experiencing, what you'd like to change, and any concerns you have about treatment. When there are different options available, she'll help you understand them so you can be involved in deciding what makes sense for your smile.

She wants you to feel heard, informed, and well cared for throughout your time at J & D Dental.

Why is Dr. Herbert so experienced with Invisalign?

Invisalign treatment takes more than handing over a set of clear aligners. It takes careful planning to guide how your teeth move and how your bite comes together in the end.

Dr. Herbert is a faculty instructor with Molis Coaching, an Invisalign mentorship and education community where she helps train other dentists in clear aligner treatment. That role keeps her closely tied to the latest Invisalign techniques and research.

For patients considering Invisalign, that means your plan is being built by a dentist who not only treats patients herself but also teaches other dentists how to do it well.

Who is Dr. Herbert Outside of the Office?

When she's not at the practice, Dr. Herbert and her husband, Tony, spend their time boating and fishing on Minnesota's northern lakes. She loves spending time with their daughters, Abigail and Olivia, and their yellow lab, Howie.
