“From the coffee in the waiting area through educating you on how to handle insurance claims, Bassett Creek Dental does everything well. The hygienists and assistants are friendly and capable and the Minneapolis dentists I see is wonderful! She is positive and reassuring with children, making my anxious daughter feel very comfortable about getting cavities filled. She crowned my tooth flawlessly and was even willing to take a late night call when I accidentally pulled the temporary out of my mouth! I would recommend Bassett Creek Dental – especially Dr. Bruning – to anyone.”
