Services
Bassett Creek Dental offers a wide range of family dental services in our convenient Twin Cities office located in Golden Valley. Dentists are available for general and family dentistry, pediatric dental services, cosmetic dental services, endodontics, and oral surgery. Step into our warm, welcoming office, relax with the beverage of your choice, and enjoy dentistry as it was meant to be.
Preventive Dentistry is our goal for every patient. It involves daily care, good nutrition, periodic examinations and cleanings that maintain good dental health. Ongoing periodontal exams are part of every visit. A dental sealant is a thin plastic film painted on the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars to prevent cavities on these surfaces.
Professional teeth cleaning or prophylaxis from a dental hygienist at Bassett Creek Dental doesn't just keep your pearly whites white. It can also help to prevent cavities and gum disease. It's an important part of your oral hygiene routine, along with daily at-home brushing and flossing. Professional cleaning removes plaque, that sticky residue that contributes to cavities and gum disease, and helps keep your teeth and gums healthy.
A fluoride treatment from your dentist helps protect your teeth from decay. Fluoride, when administered topically, can help repair teeth in the very early stages of decay. It is a preventative treatment recommended by the American Dental Association for patients with a history of tooth decay or other health problems that may lead to cavities.

I have super high anxiety with going to the dentist! Bassett Creek was referred to from family If they take your insurance, then you have found your new dentist group. These folks are top notch in patience, kindness, compassion, etc. They are like family to each other and treat you like more than a patient. You can tell they genuinely enjoy what they do, even though it's the last place most people want to be! After my first visit I even got a thank you card in the mail from the dentist I saw! Cannot recommend them enough! THANK YOU BASSETT CREEK TEAM!

Know that some dental hygienists may be unvaccinated, and the clinic has no employee vaccine mandate. I had mostly good experiences here over the years, but stopped going because I don't want an anti-vaxer sticking their hands in my mouth, and I believe all medical and dental providers should require their staff be vaccinated. The front desk said, "most are, " but cited privacy laws.
The hygienist they scheduled me with was pretty self-righteous about her right to not disclose her vaccine status and mouthed off about how I could catch COVID from someone who is vaccinated. I canceled the appointment on the spot.

This is the best dentist office I've ever been to. They made me comfortable and my doc informed me very well during my procedures. I have a fear of dentists but Bassett Creek Dental really made me comfortable. I'm so happy to have finally found a place to stick to and get all of my mouth work done. Thank you so much

I'd been going to Bassett Creek Dental for 30+ years. My husband's family happened to go there as well so at one point I had something like ten family members who used them. When my husband lost his job due to COVID-19 and we went on state insurance, Bassett Creek refused to see our family. After so many years of dedication it felt like such a slap in the face.
In retrospect it did start to go downhill when Dr Tsuchiya left. (He always took great care in making sure to examine my night guard, sand it down, make sure it fit properly. Dr Wesley never had any interest in it.) We have since found a welcoming, competent and diverse practice, so I guess they did us a favor when they slammed the door in our faces during a very difficult time.

I am so glad I went to Bassett Creek Dental! I was incredibly nervous going into my appointment due to the length of time since my last dentist appointment (at a different clinic) and because of the current pandemic. My dental hygienist, Laura, was incredibly kind, professional, thorough, and informative. She explained the reasoning behind flossing in more detail than anyone has told me before, and even demonstrated using a mirror so I could observe and be more effective in my flossing at home.

Our family has been going to Basset Creek Dental for years, and have found their dentists, hygienists and dental assistants to be consistently kind and high-quality. We miss the outstanding Dr. Tsuchiya and hygienist Tami, who've both retired, but continue on with the equally great Dr. Bruning and her team. You'd be hard-pressed to find better or more convenient dental care in the west metro.

I had an accident which left me with two very chipped front teeth. The entire team at Bassett Creek Dental did an AMAZING job of helping restore my smile and were kind, understanding, and patient through out the entire process. They listen to their patients and prioritize their needs first while doing high quality work. I Highly recommend their services!

These guys are awesome! I went in last week for an urgent matter and I cannot say enough great things about my experience. Everyone was so kind and thoughtful in their interactions with me even though I was nervous and a little afraid. I felt that the whole process, from scheduling to the procedure to payment at the end, was fully explained and clear to me.
It took me years to work up the courage to go to the dentist and thanks to the entire staff at Bassett Creek I already feel ready to go back! Thank you Bassett Creek Dental for making my experience a positive one!
