Fenmore, Minnesota · General & restorative dentistry
Dentistry you
can actually
follow.
We chart the whole visit before we start it: which tooth, what we found, what it costs, what happens next. You leave with the plan, not just the bill.
Universal numbering · upper arch
We say "tooth 13", never "the one at the back"
New patient exam · 45 minutes

Four colours, everything we do.
Each family of treatment carries its own colour across this site, on your estimate, and on the chart we hand you. Blue is prevention, orange is repair, yellow is appearance, black is urgent.
Cleanings & exams
Forty-five minutes, twice a year, with the same hygienist each time so someone actually notices what changed.

A first appointment is a ride in the chair, a count of the teeth, and a sticker. We do not do anything else on day one.
Read more → RestorativeFillings & same-day crowns
Scanned, milled and fitted in one morning. No temporary crown, no second appointment two weeks later.
Read more → RestorativeImplants
One tooth or a full arch, planned on a 3D scan and a printed guide before anything is placed.
Read more → CosmeticWhitening & veneers
We show you the shade you will actually get, held against your own teeth, before you commit to anything.
Read more → UrgentSomething hurts
Call before 10 AM on a weekday and we will find you a chair the same day. Say what hurts; we will not make you explain twice.
Read more →How a visit runs
Four steps, in this order, every time.
Nothing gets done before it has been shown to you and priced. That is the whole method.
Map
A 3D scan and a full chart on your first visit. You watch the same screen we do, and the chart goes home with you.
Estimate
Every line priced by tooth, with your insurance already applied. If we are guessing at a number, we say so.
Treat
One appointment where the work allows it. Dr. Raghunathan narrates as she goes, so nothing is a surprise from under the bib.
Recheck
A short follow-up at no charge on anything we placed or filled. Bite feels off, you come back; we adjust it.
The dentist
Almost nobody is actually afraid of the drill. They are afraid of not knowing what is about to happen, or what it will cost when it is over. That is a fixable problem, and most of it is paperwork.
Dr. Priya Raghunathan, DDS
Owner · University of Minnesota, 2007 · Practising in Fenmore since 2009

What people mention afterwards.
Collected from post-visit notes and review sites. Names shortened at their request.
“I walked out with a printout that had the tooth numbers on it. My last dentist just told me I needed ‘some work’.”
“My son asked in the car when we could come back. He is seven. I did not know that was a thing that happened.”
“Cracked a molar on a Sunday night. Called at 8:04 Monday morning, was in the chair by eleven, home by noon.”
Chart notes
Plain answers, written down.
The questions we get asked most, answered properly once so we can hand you the link instead of rushing it at the end of an appointment.
What the numbers on your chart actually mean
Tooth 3, tooth 30, MOD, 4mm pocket. A short decoder for the sheet we hand you at the end of a cleaning.

Same-day crowns: what the mill does well, and what it doesn't
Milling a crown in ninety minutes is real. It is also not the right answer for every tooth, and here is when we say no.
