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...

Ted Schwerzler

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.

Shelli Place

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.

Jennifer Heger

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 can I do if I feel anxious about my dental visit?

Let us know about your concerns when you schedule your appointment. We offer several comfort options to help you relax, such as noise-canceling headphones, soft blankets, and pillows. For more severe anxiety, you can choose from sedation options like laughing gas or oral sedation. Our team will ensure your experience is calm and tailored to your needs.

What sedation options are available to help with dental anxiety?

We offer two effective options for relieving dental anxiety: laughing gas and oral sedation. Laughing gas is a mild sedative that helps you relax during the procedure, and its effects wear off quickly. Oral sedation provides a deeper level of relaxation and requires you to arrange a ride home afterward. Dr. Herbert will discuss the best option based on your anxiety level and treatment needs.

How does the team make sure I feel comfortable during treatment?

Dr. Herbert and her team prioritize your comfort by offering personalized care and calming amenities. You can enjoy a comfortable care room equipped with soft blankets and noise-canceling headphones. We also use modern dental technology like digital imaging to ensure quick, comfortable procedures. If you ever feel uneasy, we encourage open communication so we can make adjustments right away.
