Jakubas Dental Clinic

Great service, great staff, great practice!
I had unusual pain in my gum over the weekend and even as a new patient, they got me in right away on Monday morning. From the office manager (Kathy), to the hygienist (Kara), to the doctor (Jenna Swenson), everyone was kind, patient, gentle and considerate. They even have little massagers in their chairs. Kathy was especially helpful getting me in right away and then helping me find a same-​day (!) referral to a root canal specialist (they do root canals, just not the kind that I needed). Highly recommend this wonderful practice!

They do an amazing job here! Relaxed environment, friendly staff, and great work. Highly recommend!

I just started going to Dr. Jakubas when I got dental insurance this year and I was easily won over. Most dentists do the same stuff as far as dentistry goes but the way the office runs can make the experience either enjoyable or a real pain. The Jakubas office has a lot of things going for it:
1) Friendly Staff — Dr. Jakubas, all the receptionists, and the dental hygienists are super friendly, easy-​going, and chatty in a way that makes the time go by quickly.
2) Thorough — The receptionists always explains what my insurance will cover along with my options for price breaks. She even helped me schedule my fillings so I would get the most coverage and not pay out-​of-​pocket.
3) Quality — I overheard Dr. Jakubas and a receptionist talking about some convention they went to about the newest dental equipment and based on the videos they show me on the computer and the tooth x-​rays that instantly come up on the screen, it seems to me they have the latest technology to make treatment easy and quick for patients.
4) Fun — The office makes me smile. They have a tooth-​shaped pillow that they stick under my head whenever I sit down in the chair. They also have mobiles hanging from the ceiling at the exact location I have to look while getting my teeth cleaned. So far I have enjoyed watching both tiny sailboats and little white birds (Jonathan Livingston Seagull anyone?) softly bob around in the sky. It’s mesmerizing.
Today I said I was cold and the hygienist even brought me a cozy blanket to warm me up. I was so snuggly with my blankie and tooth pillow that I took a little morning nap in the chair while they did a filling. Since my insurance kicked in, they have done a great job of getting my mouth in good shape again and it has been an incredibly pain-​free process.

I would never ever go to a different dentist. I have been seeing Dr. Joan for at least 8 – 10 years, as I hate going to the dentist and hate dental work (they make you super comfortable) and who doesn’t want the most gentle woman dentist in town. They patiently call me when I don’t show up for appts and cleanings… and they really spend the time when they make crowns.
The best dentist in Mpls. Go see Dr. Joan.

Joan is my favorite dentist ever! Her staff is super friendly and helpful. I didn’t really like it when they told me that Diet Coke isn’t good for my teeth, but I guess nagging is the repetition of unpalatable truths.
I even recommended Dr. Joan to my friend and she liked her and continues to go to her.
