Maintain Healthy Teeth

Maintaining a healthy smile starts with prevention. Our team uses advanced techniques to detect and treat issues before they become major problems. Your options include:

Thorough Cleanings - Your hygienist will gently remove plaque and tartar buildup. They clean areas you may miss at home. This leaves your teeth feeling fresh and helps prevent tooth decay and gum issues.
Comprehensive Exams - We perform detailed exams to catch problems early. Our team checks for cavities, gum infections, and dental damage. You will also receive an oral cancer screening for added peace of mind.
Dry Mouth or Bad Breath Solutions - Dr. Herbert can also help with common concerns like dry mouth and bad breath. We provide tailored solutions, such as special rinses and lifestyle tips, to address these issues and keep your mouth fresh.

Find Solutions to Your Needs

Our targeted treatments and customized solutions restore and protect your smile. We address issues efficiently and help prevent further complications. Your dentist can also provide:

Gum Disease Treatment - If your gums show signs of infection, we take action. Treatments may include scaling, root planing, or antibiotics to restore your gum health. Follow-up visits can prevent further issues.
Custom Mouthguards - Protect your smile with a custom mouthguard. Whether you play sports or grind your teeth, our tailored fit provides better protection and comfort compared to store-bought options.

Your checkup is more than just a cleaning. It's a chance to discuss your oral health and any goals you have for your smile. With our personalized approach to general dentistry in Minneapolis, we will keep your mouth healthy and fresh.

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...

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.

Raven Wolf

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 needed a crown for the first time in my life and these folks took what is objectively an awful experience and made it easy and as comfortable as it could be. Getting a crown isn't a very great experience but they did amazingly. Very helplful and reassuring, and they know their stuff. They got...

Zach Halliwell

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!!

What is general dentistry and why is it important?

General dentistry serves as the foundation for your overall oral health through preventive care and routine maintenance. A general dentist, like Dr. Herbert, acts as your primary dental care provider, coordinating all aspects of your oral health needs. She performs regular checkups, cleanings, and basic dental procedures that prevent minor issues from becoming major problems. This proactive approach helps maintain your oral health while saving time and money in the long run.

How does oral health connect to my overall health?

Your mouth serves as a window to your body's general health, with strong connections to various systemic conditions. Poor oral health has been linked to heart disease, diabetes, respiratory infections, and other serious health issues. Bacteria from untreated gum disease can enter your bloodstream and affect other parts of your body. Regular dental care helps maintain not just your oral health, but contributes to your overall physical well-being.

What services fall under general dentistry?

General dentistry encompasses a wide range of preventive and restorative treatments beyond just cleanings. This includes diagnostic services like X-rays and oral cancer screenings, restorative procedures such as fillings and crowns, and preventive treatments like fluoride applications and sealants. Your general dentist also provides guidance on proper home care techniques and lifestyle factors affecting oral health.
