Dr Cook and his associates have been my Dentist Team for over 30 years. Always the best most professional care and treatment. So much of your overall health starts with dental care. See the best dentist; you won't be sorry.

I had been jumping around for the past couple years looking for a new dentist when one of my co-workers mentioned Dr Cook. She had not even seen him yet, but was referred to him herself. From the initial phone call, the experience made me feel like I was an individual.not just a financial opportunity. Don't get me wrong, you have to pay for everything up front.

But they will submit for you. And you do get a credit on your account for what insurance will pay. For me it wasn't the financial issue of insurance, it is about individual treatment. After my initial booking, Dr. Cook himself even made a personal phone call to me welcoming me to the office. I have NEVER had that happen. I was amazed he took the time to do that.

The initial exam itself was about 2 hours long. Dr Cook did a face to face intake, took X-rays, checked my gums, used a laser for cracks, cleaned and polished my teeth, all the while explaining every move he made and why. Very impressive! I have yet to have any cosmetic dentistry done, but I have my appointments scheduled. And I have complete confidence in Dr Cook.

Dr. Cook has been our family dentist for about 25 years. We've never considered changing.

Chose Dr. Cook because of his reputation as a great dentist for those who are apprehensive about going to the dentist. I am incredibly impressed and totally at ease.

Dr Cook is very thorough and knowledgeable regarding dentistry. It is a pleasure to go and see him. Strange to say for dental work but the experience is relatively painless and actually enjoyable because he tells his patients so much helpful dental information. He really cares about his patient's dental issues.

I have been a patient of Smiles on France for many years because of the consistent quality of dentistry practiced by Dr. Cook. The staff is personable, professional and very knowledgable in their respective positions. Fortunately, the quality of care practiced has kept me out of dental trouble. I have also used Dr. Cook for a major upgrade to my aging teeth.

Now I have a smile I am proud of and will last for a very long time. At the beginning, I thought the cost of a new smile was more than I wanted to spend. In the end though, Dr. Cook made me think that my new smile was well worth the initial cost.

If you're looking for new dental care, look no further! I was instantly at ease the first time I went to Smiles at France. Initially I sought Dr. Cook out for cosmetic work (chipped front tooth) but after seeing his (and his whole team's) attention to detail and how much they care I've made Smiles at France my regular dentist. I really appreciate how Dr. Cook explains what he is doing and why as he works. Great environment. Smiles at France is truly a place that makes me smile (and makes my smile look better too!)

I have been a client for a few years now but today especially won me over. I needed to come in for pain and they knew what to do and were sensitive to my situation. Dr. Cook and his team are so confident, collaborative and supportive. I always feel cared for.

David Cook is an amazing dentist! Details matter and he'll explain them to you. Staff are communicative, caring and just as amazing! My husband got me to switch dentists early in our marriage and that was over 20 years ago. Our children go here too. Our insurance coverage for dental ebbs and flows-but we only go to Smiles@France. It's worth it. Now, during the Covid pandemic, we couldn't find a place to feel safer taking off our masks for cleaning and procedures.

I have been going to Smiles At France and had Dr. David Cook for a dentist for 13 years now and can whole heartedly state with good evidence that he is the best dentist I have ever seen. There isn't another dental practice out there with more cutting edge research implementation and meticulous attention to detail and client needs as this one. I have gone through having a dental implant procedure and multiple veneers added along with regular cleanings while being a client at Smiles At France, so I feel my experience has been thorough for a proper helpful review.

Dr. Cook knows his stuff. I love how knowledgeable he is on so many different areas and he really pays attention to detail and asks specific questions so he can do the absolute best for your oral health. He and his staff are so friendly and you just know they really love what they're doing. The only downside was my Health Insurance wasn't In-Network, so I guess check with who they work with. However, it may be worth it since Dr.

Cook is the first dentist I've seen that really explains how he's going to do something and why. He analyzes the long-term causes and effects, so I highly doubt you'll be in and out all the time like you could other places. Thanks Dr. Cook and staff for your help :

My front teeth have been wearing down over time, due to an underlying bite issue and apparently some clenching and grinding. I was minding my own business on a sunny Saturday afternoon, when suddenly I felt a small bit of something sharper than a raspberry seed from my smoothie in my mouth. I pulled it out and was horrified to find a piece of my front tooth.

I scampered home and began internet searching for cosmetic dentists in South Minneapolis. The first business on the list was Smiles at France. I looked at their website and was immediately certain that they were the sort of place you'd trust to fix your smile teeth based upon their before and after photos. Although it was after hours late Saturday, I called and left a voicemail asking for someone to call me early Monday if possible, as I was available Monday and desperate to fix my tooth.

Imagine my surprise when a friendly dentist, Dr. Cook, called me on Sunday--from home! He understood my distress, and instructed me to send him a cell phone photo of my tooth damage, and set up an appointment for me on Monday afternoon. Dr. Cook and his staff were very friendly and kind to me, and best of all, you wouldn't believe what Dr. Cook did for my tooth.

It looks so very good that I just can't tell now matter how closely or carefully I look? ANY difference between this tooth and my "real" teeth. Dr. Cook is a kind and generous man, and clearly loves what he does. I learned about my clenching and grinding from him and how it may be affecting my health, and what I can do about it. I left with a smile on my face and a really grateful feeling in my heart that I found Dr. Cook. I recommend him absolutely.
