Northland Smiles strives to meet the needs of the greater community by offering In-House services. Our friendly staff are willing to answer any questions you may have about our services. From cleaning to surgery, we provide all the services without having to refer you to another clinic. This is an advantage for two reasons. One, there is no scheduling or transferring your file to another clinic and no wait time at another clinic. Two, because we take just about all insurances, so does most of our in house specialty work, this means you don’t have to hunt for that one dentist that takes your insurance.
Another factor is that Northland Smiles takes insurances that many other dental offices do not. This includes government funded health plans. Some patients can find it difficult to find a dental office taking their insurance and find it necessary to drive 2 to 3 hours to find someone who will. We are closing that gap.
Northland Smiles has an in-house denture laboratory. Dentures and partials are also processed there and the denture laboratory technicians are available for consultation with doctors.
At Northland Smiles we strive to have as many dental services in house as possible. This allows us to accept your unique insurance and still be able to perform the work needed. Please see below if the service you require is offered.
- Cosmetic Dentistry – Take home and in house Bleaching
- Endodontics – Root Canal

“Providing Conflict Solutions for all Minnesotans”
Mediation is a conversation between two or more people who disagree, facilitated by one or more trained mediators. The conversation is informal and all participants are given time to talk about their concerns. Decision-making remains with the participants. Mediation is voluntary, confidential and it works.
Mediation is an alternative to going to court. Not all cases are appropriate for mediation. But most disputes can be settled using time tested mediation techniques that allow both parties to decide the outcome that works best for them collectively and individually.
We provide unbiased information, reviewed by medical experts, so our readers can make an informed decision on the next steps in their, or a loved one’s, drug rehabilitation journey. Our goal is to help individuals and loved ones by providing them with information and support on different addictions and recovery resources available to them. We are an informational website that connects addicts and their families with the help they need to put their lives together.
