Rikki
Licensed Dental Hygienist
I earned my Bachelor's degree in dental hygiene in 2000 from the University of Minnesota. I love meeting new people and getting to know them and their families. Patient care is my top priority and I feel White Bear Smiles allows me to provide that care.
I live in Hugo with my husband Jake, our 2 kids Teagan and Talen, and our Russian tortoise, Hank. We are an active soccer family and enjoy being outside. Teagan and Talen both play for the Manitou FC. I enjoy traveling and exploring new places.
I can not speak more highly of this office. They are the entire package! The front desk is organized, kind, and helpful! The doctor has earned my trust with every cleaning and procedure. He is also very personable, knowledgeable, and very thorough. The assistants and hygienists feel like your best friends and are a joy to your day.
Another call out is billing can be so complicated. Does insurance cover this? What am I responsible for? Gosh, that's expensive, etc...BUT here, they do all the leg work for you and make it super clear and honor what they say. They also work with you if that's where you are at.
Lastly, they always make time for me if I need to get in and get something done. Scheduling is easy and accommodating. I recently was at another dental office for invisalign before they started offering it at White Bear Smiles, and they were going to complete a crown for me in 3 visits, where White Bear Smiles did it in 1 visit and also 2 weeks sooner.
Stop searching. This is the Dental Office you want!
