I have been a patient here since before Dr. Arne started working alongside his Dad, George. From Patty running the office to Kerri my hygienist, plus both docs; impeccable service, maintenance, and management of my oral health - for 25+ years! Look no further for a lifelong dentist for yourself and your family, where you’ll hear all of the options and get to make the best choice as you incorporate their expertise and experience into your decisions about your only set of teeth ever!

Dr Gunderson and his team are very knowledgeable, professional and helpful. They are always positive and ready to solve any problem. My Wife & I do not admit this lightly, as we loved and personally knew our previous Dentist (Dr Meyers) who was a tremendous artist Dentist, but now retired. We definitely recommend Gunderson and His Staff. Thank You, LeRoy & Karon

Went in for a cleaning yesterday, it was time for x-rays, and Dr. Gunderson found two molars that were badly in need of a crown, one of them was from a former "budget" dentist who had done a poor job of a crown only three years ago. I'm grateful for all the staff at this office.

My Hygenist Carrie was awesome, as always. I am a dental phob, but she really cares about my comfort, going the extra mile to insure it.

Fern Liddell

I have very sensitive teeth and Dr Gundersen and my hygienist are very good at avoiding my sensitive spots and making the experience comfortable.

Tracie Drake

21:17 15 Dec 22

I have to have my teeth cleaned four times a year due to health issues that contribute to plaque build-up. I used to dread cleanings until I found Gundersen Dental Care. The dentist and hygenists are very knowledgeable, professional, and up to speed on the latest treatments. Kerry cleans my teeth, and you could not ask for a kinder, gentler hygenist! She is very professional and knowledgeable. I have a lot of recession, and she does everything she can to make me comfortable. The front office staff are pleasant and they go out of their way to work you into the schedule if you have an emergency. I highly recommend Gundersen Dental!

Christina Price

The staff is so incredible, friendly and knowledgeable. And Dr. Arne does impressive work and he’s so easy to work with. I have braces as an adult, which was a very hard choice to follow through on. I made the right choice going to Dr. Gundersen’s. It’s always a great experience for me at the dentist. And who can say that?!

Jennifer McInnis

Going to the dentist has never been “fun” for me and coming to a new city and selecting a new dentist just adds to the anxiety but I must say, this visit was stressfree and everyone was amazing. From working through the initial scheduling, the checkin, the procedures and the followup everything has been top notch. I have spent a career in the customer service delivery space and believe me when I say that there are a lot of places that could learn a thing or two from Gunderson Dental Care. I highly recommend them. Keep up the good work.
