All About Dentistry: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Dr. Elmi Elmi Is the best. Always remembers my family and I and ask how we’re doing.
Fantastic experience: The staff is friendly and professional. I needed an appointment and was able to get on the calendar quickly. Dr. Elmi was very personable and took the time to assist me with my issue patiently.
Fantastic experience: It went good everyone was friendly and everything
Positive experience: Everyone is very nice but sometimes seems a bit confusing with lots of activity in back. Treatment of the patient is outstanding.
Fantastic experience: Always a friendly and professional experience!
Fantastic experience: Great! We bring our whole family here and have always gotten excellent service.
Fantastic experience: I have been going to all about dentistry for awhile and they are the best at what they do and all employees are friendly and respectful I strongly recommend anyone who needs dental work done I wouldn't go anywhere else except for them you would absolutely love it there
Fantastic experience: they really friendly and understands what you need and the work they done is perfect they deserve more than 5 star thnks you guys
Fantastic experience: I had such a wonderful experience at All About Dentistry Family & Emergency! I brought my auntie in for her appointment, and the entire team was so friendly and welcoming from the moment we walked in. Dr. Elmi was amazing he was very kind, patient, and professional. He made my auntie feel comfortable, respected, and truly cared for. He took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure she felt at ease throughout the visit. The service was truly 10 out of 10. It’s not always easy to find a dental office where your loved ones feel safe and supported, but this place exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend All About Dentistry to anyone looking for a professional, caring, and friendly dental team. Thank you again, Dr. Elmi, for taking such great care of my auntie!
Negative experience: Very good in some area's. Slow in getting fitted for top denture's only.
Fantastic experience: Great experience everyone was nice, respectful
Fantastic experience: Going to a dentist for me was never fun, so other than regular brushing, my teeth were neglected. I had a rear upper molar, that probably could’ve had a root canal a year ago, fracture on me, and became very painful over the weekend. I contacted the Saint Paul location on Monday , as it was closer to me. They were able to set a time for me on Tuesday at 11 AM. After my exam, it became apparent that we wouldn’t be able to save the tooth. They were able to accommodate my tooth removal on the same day at their Burnsville location. The extraction process was brutal, but it was performed with professional care and empathy. I was without dental insurance and they were able to work with the limited coverage that I had, without it being an issue.
Fantastic experience: I called this place randomly looking for a new dentist office since we moved and now that I moved away from the area I still drive 25 minutes to come see them.. From the services to the staff I LOVE IT HERE . The owners are amazing and have some great prices for the whole year. They also have an indoor playground for the kids 10/10 experience everytime I go & they actually care about your teeth and do follow up calls.
Fantastic experience: Perfect every stage of dealing with All About Dentistry. The Somalis who worked on me understood English fluently, which was a plus. I heard some Somalis working with a Somali client and it seemed to go well.
Positive experience: The staff is always kind and professional. But I only gave 4 stars because during a procedure (bridge w/crown) I had to be numbed several. several times which was uncomfortable and painful. The process of installing the temporary crown wasn’t bad however. I do trust these guys wholeheartedly and would recommend. My son goes to the Burnsville location due to insurance and I’m very happy with their services.
Fantastic experience: The people there are all so nice and it’s always a good experience!! Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: The staff is so professional and kind at All About Dentistry! Thank you for being a great asset to our West St Paul community!
Fantastic experience: I had the best experience here! Everyone was so kind and fun to talk to. The exam was thorough and they explained everything to me that they were doing in depth. They made sure I was comfortable and answered all of my questions. I would definitely recommend this place.
Fantastic experience: Staff is always really friendly. My dental services are always performed very efficiently and with a great bedside manner.

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience. The staff was friendly and welcoming and the dentist took the time to explain everything clearly, which really put me at ease. The office was clean and well organized, and the appointment ran on time. I felt comfortable and well cared for throughout my visit and would definitely recommend this office to others.
Fantastic experience: Front office ladies are so nice and willing to help in any way they can. All of the back office staff is so kind sociable making you feel comfortable. I come with a bundle of kids and they are always more than willing to socialize with them chat with them even if I'm their patient or one of my children or other patient they're willing to talk to everybody who is in the room during the cleaning. The hygienist to the doctors are seamless in their care. Bonus there's a little indoor jungle gym for kiddos to climb in to get their wiggles out while waiting. Highly recommend 10 out of 10.

Fantastic experience: You are never just a number at All About Dentistry — Dr. Elmi and the entire team truly care about their patients. Every visit leaves me feeling more confident about my smile. The team is welcoming, professional, and attentive, creating a comfortable and positive experience from start to finish. I’ve received a crown, cavity treatments, x-rays, and cleanings here, and the quality of care has been exceptional every time. I highly recommend All About Dentistry to anyone seeking outstanding dental care and a team that genuinely values their patients. Thank you, All About Dentistry, for creating such a positive and caring dental experience!
Fantastic experience: I’ve seen a few dentists over the years, and All About Dentistry has been the best experience I’ve had. I’ve been in twice now, and each time they were friendly, quick to get me in, and made everything feel easy (at the dentist!). While I was in the chair, everyone was really kind, super considerate, and explained what was happening as they went. I’d never had a crown before, so I really appreciated the time they took to walk me through it The doctor and her team are wonderful people who genuinely care about their patients. From both a service and human perspective (i.e., charity work before hours for people in need), they’re one of the best in the Twin Cities. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: They are so friendly and helpful! I took my two and a half year old to get her teeth polished and the technician knew how to work with my daughter so she was not terrified and we got all of her teeth polished. I would definitely recommend this dentist's office to anyone I come across it
Fantastic experience: They are absolutely amazing. I switched from my old dentist office to this one because I disliked how my previous one would take too long to book an appointment, wait in the lobby for your appointment and overall customer service was poor. But here oh boy I hadn't realize how fast a dentist appointment could be! The people here are amazing and are so kind and wonderful. They actually speak to me as if I'm a human and communicate well with their clients. I would 100% recommend you come here. I never make Google reviews but this place really is great, so 5 stars!
Fantastic experience: My experience was amazing they treat you with so much care 10/10✨✨
Fantastic experience: Very friendly people Nice and clean place
Negative experience: Going to dentist with them couldn’t be any better. The staff are very kind and welcoming. Very attentive and helpful in any way. The doctor was amazing. Did her job very professionally. I am very happy and can’t think of any other places to go but here.

Fantastic experience: If I could give more than five stars, I totally would! My Five-year-old has extreme fear of the dentist! And they made him feel so comfortable and happy he opened his mouth so wide for them! The assistant and the main dentist Were so kind and understanding! I myself have always had a fear of the dentist in this place really changed my mind and gave me hope! They also have a place for the kids in the waiting room how extra and amazing! If you can get an appointment here, I highly recommend it! This is my first time ever leave a review for a dentist and I couldn’t wait to get home to write this!! Thank you guys for all of your help! The referrals, the advice, the kindness all of it!!!
Fantastic experience: The environment is very comfortable and warm The staff are very approachable, nice and kind. A dental assistant named Cindy is the best. I really appreciate the calming conversation. Great experience.
Fantastic experience: Great staff from check in, to the dental hygienist cleaning, and to They are the best dental team. The hygienist all are so wonderful with making sure my 11 years old is comfortable.
Fantastic experience: This is the best dentistry I've been to. They're very kind and gentle when working on all of my dental needs. I have had a facial cavity worked on today and I am extremely impressed with how near perfect the result had came out. They did a great job of numbing prior and distracting beforehand and during the needle injection. They're teeth cleaning and polishing was also quick and accommodating to my cares and concerns. I would recommend them to any family or friend and I give them a solid 10 out of 10.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been looking for a good dentist and I found this place, After not being in to see the dentist for a minute because of my anxiety and bad experiences. Just walking in Made me nervous but the staff at the front desk changed it for me. They greeted me and helped me in with everything I needed. The wait time can’t complain everyone was very polite and very caring. Want to thank one of the assistance “Sherie ,she went out of her way and helped me and explained and answered all my questions with kindness. The Dentist doctor can’t remember his name but he took the time and explained everything I was needing done. I DEFINITELY recommend this dentist office especially if it’s your first time.

Fantastic experience: The best dentistry ever. Patients leave with not only brighter smiles but also a sense of confidence that lasts long after their appointments.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love the staff, the Denyists and everyone at the front desk!! They are professional
Fantastic experience: it was good dental work done right for me, friendly and caring stuff they were.
Fantastic experience: Best dental experience I have ever had. The environment is calm. The people are kind and welcoming. I loved the videos of the beautiful scenery. The music was soothing. I was able to meditate. I never thought I could feel so comfortable at the dentist. It is very helpful to have calm places to go to. These people are amazing. Out of 10 I give them a 10++. I highly recommend this dental place. ❤️☀️Thank you for your service.
Fantastic experience: I had a dental emergency and was fortunate to be scheduled for the very next day. Upon arrival, I was warmly greeted by a friendly and professional front desk team who made the check-in process smooth and efficient. The clinic itself is modern, clean, and has a calming, welcoming atmosphere. The dental assistant along with the dentist ensured I was comfortable throughout the whole process. The tooth extraction was understandably nerve-racking, I felt well-cared-for, and at ease. As someone who typically dreads dental visits, I never thought I’d say this—but I’m genuinely looking forward to my next appointment. The entire team was exceptional. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone seeking dental care!
Positive experience: This time was much better since the last time because was not painful , and the time waiting was really short I’m glad with the service , thank you
Fantastic experience: Everyone is so nice! Elote did such a good job on my teeth! 5 stars
Fantastic experience: The staff is friendly. And they were very gentle and attentive during my procedure.
Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough good things about this dental office! From the moment I walked in, the staff was welcoming, professional, and attentive. The office is spotless, modern, and very comfortable – it definitely helps ease any nerves about going to the dentist.
Fantastic experience: I went to all about dentistry because there was a short wait time, and they accepted my medical assistance insurance. Following an appointment for a standard cleaning, I have been nothing but impressed. The staff took care of navigating insurance approval for extra services I needed to protect my teeth from night grinding. They have kept me updated every step of the way, and they have good hours that are accessible for most work schedules. All the employees I have met are professional and kind and make you feel welcome, even if you haven't been to the dentist in a while. Sure, it's a bit of a drive for me, but with the quality of care I have received so far, I won't be changing dentists anytime soon.
Fantastic experience: Great dentist I seriously love this dentist office they are so nice and caring first dentist office I have ever felt safe going to honestly the best people that actually know how to treat you like a human being and this place is definitely my primary dentist for ever
Fantastic experience: I had to do an emergency walk in because my wisdom tooth is hurting and i needed a referral. Receptionist were nice, assistant and doctor were nice. They got all the fancy gadgets and gizmos. Thank you very much, also parking is tight. Update i keep coming here and they keep doing an awesome job. Filling soon but I'm not nervous.
Negative experience: The front desk was very friendly, yet the lady who did the floss on my teeth didn’t a horrible job. Not happy with their service.
Fantastic experience: Yesterday was my first time going and I was very impressed. Everyone was so welcoming and engaging as soon as my son and I walked in. The play and waiting area on top of everything else was amazing. This dentistry is awesome.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic staff that were genuinely helpful. Recommend to anyone who needs a dentist!
Fantastic experience: I really had a great dental experience here! My children/family comes to this clinic. The clinic is very family oriented, and just nice people. Front desk always smiling and greeted me with a smile, that made me feel very welcomed.
Fantastic experience: I went here to the office in WSP and I don't like dentists, but after getting a couple teeth pulled.I got comfortable after a bit and you will too, the staff there a the best and the Dentist will explain everything they are doing when they are doing it they also have a payment plan which helped me so much. Elsie Taylor
Fantastic experience: Dr Hidayo Elmi and her staff are amazing. So very caring and professional. I was impressed with the degree of care that I received. I would recommend Dr. Hidayo to anyone seeking a caring, very smart and aware dentist. Her staff will also take very good care of you!Thank you Dr Hidayo Elmi!
Fantastic experience: I've been looking for a dentist for 9 months because my insurance is through the government no dentists are accepting those types of people. Luckily I was able to find all about dentistry located in West St Paul, from what I gather this is a family dentistry, the customer service was phenomenal, The staff was truly amazing and the best part is if you are in emergency need of a dentist show up on Monday mornings be the first in line at 8:00 a.m. they take the first three people in line on an emergency basis regardless of your insurance. Yes that's right they will not discriminate against you and turn you away because you have government insurance. I did have to wait approximately 4 hours but I was able to get my wife and daughter seen the same day. And this wonderful playground built inside makes it that much easier if you are waiting with children. I was also served a cup of complimentary coffee while I waited.
Fantastic experience: Thank you for always taking care of my Dads needs and always being so nice to him and always being Flexible with his appointments.
Fantastic experience: All 3 doctors at this clinic have worked on my teeth and made me feel exceptionally great each time. I’ve been coming here since they opened a few years back. I have to shoutout to the new dentist on site, Dr.Fong who worked really well with my anxiety and helped me manage any pain. He explained thoroughly his steps each time which helped as well. Love love this team! My only feedback for improvement is that since the patient network has grown tremendously, I think the schedule needs to be managed a little more strategically so that the dentists don’t seem like they’re scrambling between each patient. From a patient POV, it can seem like they’re rushing and don’t have enough time to give the attention to details for each person. The care I have received has been great but I can imagine it can be frustrating or nerve wracking for patients that need more time and explanation from the dentists.
Fantastic experience: Went in for gum pain, wait wasn’t that long. Staff were nice and informative and I left happy. Best dentist to go to run don’t walk
Fantastic experience: Have you had bad past experiences at the dentist?, do you put off the dentist out of fear of judgement? Look no further All About dentistry will restore your faith in dentistry. I went years avoiding the dentist for all the above reasons. Totally lacking in proper oral hygiene. My first appointment I was met with smiles, kindness, understanding and 0 judgement. I never imagined I would enjoy going to the dentist. Fast forward 3 years and I feel so much more confident in my smile and since I was given non judgemental encouragement and support I have much improved how I take care of my oral hygiene. Thank you to all the staff at All About Dentistry who have given me my confidence back!
Fantastic experience: This is the best dentist in the twin cities. Truly a great place to go with your teeth problems. The kindest people! Not your average dentist!!
