Thank you for the trust and confidence you have in our practice. Our team will always make sure that Valley Creek Family Dentistry is a place where you can expect the highest quality of dentistry in a friendly, comfortable, and most importantly, safe environment.  

At this time, it is well known that we are facing a virus that has made its way into Minnesota, the United States and around the world.  In this current environment it is important for each and every one of us to take extra precautions and responsibility to reduce risks of exposure. 

For 30 years Valley Creek Family Dentistry has always put quality, comfort, care and the safety of our patients, team and doctors first and foremost.  We have always followed Universal Precautions, which means we always assume that a  patient may be contagious.  With this in mind we have been closely following the recommendations and updates from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the World Health Organization (WHO) and the American Dental Association (ADA).  

​Valley Creek Family Dentistry utilizes and implements the most state-of-the-art sterilization techniques available which allows our team, doctors and patients to safely provide and receive the most advanced and safe dental experience anywhere.  By working as a team we can help prevent the spread of the Coronavirus while continuing to provide a dental experience in a comfortable, friendly and safe environment.  

​Above and beyond the current recommendations of these agencies, Valley Creek Family Dentistry  is taking additional precautions to further reduce the risk for exposure and contraction of the COVID-19 virus to our team, our doctors and our patients.   

We kindly request the following: Please CALL us, prior to your appointment if:
