All the hygienists are gentle, friendly (specially Kasey ) and always do an excellent job cleaning my teeth. The office is modern, welcoming, and beautifully designed, with the latest dental equipment that makes every visit smooth and comfortable. They even have a play area for children, which makes it a perfect place for families. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone looking for quality dental care.

Fantastic experience: I love getting my teeth cleaned here. I feel welcomed by the whole staff. They’re all friendly and professional!

Fantastic experience: Northern Lights is an amazing local business. My wife has always hated going to the dentist and has had bad experiences in the past. Even she likes going to Northern Lights. The staff is so kind and they don’t rush the cleaning appointments. Always leave with my teeth feeling great.

Fantastic experience: My hygienist is great! They are always timely and have been easy to get appointments scheduled. I have been going there the last couple years and all of my interactions have been wonderful.

Fantastic experience: Great Experience! I needed a filling(s) replaced in a front tooth. I didn't have a dentist in Fargo. I did an internet search and found Northern Lights Dental with 493 5 star reviews. Incredible. I called them and they were able to get me in the same day. Dr. Courtney Fixed my front tooth. She did a fantastic Job and it was very affordable. Everyone I met there were very nice. I will always go back to Northern Lights Dental. Do yourself a favor and call them you'll be glad you did.

Fantastic experience: Can't recommend these guys enough! I've had two cleanings and one filling - all three were excellent! Kasey is super friendly to talk to, very knowledgeable as a hygienist, and the way she educates you on tooth hygiene is almost motivation to keep the pearls clean . Dr. Courtney helped ease my nerves during my filling (I don't like needles), and the whole thing ended up being a breeze! Super satisfied with my experience!

Fantastic experience: An Absolutely Outstanding, Anxiety-Free Experience! I have to give a huge shout-out to Patel & Taylor for service that was truly above and beyond. Dealing with a dental emergency is stressful enough, but when my son broke both of his front teeth in half, our anxiety was through the roof. From the moment we walked in, the team made us feel welcomed and cared for in their pristine office. Taylor was phenomenal—incredibly professional and informative, taking the time to explain everything so clearly that it completely bridged the gap in our understanding and eased our fears. Dr. Patel was just as wonderful and, like Taylor, seemed to genuinely care about our well-being. For someone who struggles with dentophobia and is on the autism spectrum, a calm, understanding environment is everything. This was, hands down, the best experience I have ever had at a dentist's office—a wild thing to say, but it's the absolute truth! Thank you for being so genuinely amazing.

Fantastic experience: I started having tooth pain and called this dental office and they were able to get me in the next day. My dental hygienist was Cody and my dentist was Dr. Courtney. Dr. Courtney has such a gentle and reassuring approach. Her and Cody both took the time to explain everything clearly, making sure I was comfortable and well-informed about the procedure. It’s clear that they really care about their patients. I couldn’t have been in better care and I’m so grateful to have found this office.

Fantastic experience: Best dental office I have ever been to. Everyone is very nice, and take care of you. Feel very comfortable and relaxed. Highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: Courtney Gieseke, DDS and Cody are the best duo I have ever had work on my teeth. 11/10

Fantastic experience: Staff is top notch, facility is top notch, and I never absolutely hate being there.... And in my opinion, when it comes to dentistry, not hating your dentist is 5 star worthy.

Fantastic experience: They are awesome. Got me in. I was in pain. I will always go there

Fantastic experience: Great! A patient for many years, 5 out 5 stars for all my visits and work with Northern Light Dental.

Fantastic experience: I love Northern Lights Dental! Everyone is friendly and sociable. They treat our whole family and work hard to make the environment kid-friendly and welcoming.

Most definitely my favorite dental clinic!

Hygienist was friendly and did a great job cleaning my teeth, nice experience Colby was very knowledgeable for a young lady, its not scary going to dentist they are gentle and go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience today at Northern Lights Dental, Carly was my hygienist and she was great! Very friendly and informative, will definitely be returning.

Fantastic experience: Very nice dental practice! Up to date equipment and constantly concerned about my comfort! I would recommend to everyone!!

Fantastic experience: Pleasantly surprised with Northern lights Dental. First time being a patient there. Front receptionist’s were all smiles and very friendly. They were very organized and professional with good humor to go along with the process. Teeth cleaning with the hygienist was top notch. Very professional, friendly and concerned to my comforts throughout the process. Dentist and dentist assistant reviewed my X-rays, were very detailed with me to some of there concerns. Then proceeded with building and installing a crown. The process again was professional and speedy. All done within a couple hours. The next day I have no pain, no weird feeling with the crown! Thanks Northern lights Dental!

Fantastic experience: The staff is amazing!! This was my first visit and I’ll definitely be making this my regular dentist office. I just moved here and everyone here was so welcoming and kind and genuinely showed interest in getting to know every individual patient. Couldn’t ask for better!

Fantastic experience: The hygienist who cleaned my teeth was wonderful and Dr. Courtney is an amazing dentist. Such a great experience! I switched to this place because they took my son’s dental insurance and we had such a good experience, I decided to make the switch as well. Also, a little perk, they have TVs for you to watch in each room while you are in the dental chair so it’s a very relaxing experience. 10 out of 10 recommend!!!

Fantastic experience: Celeste, Michelle and Dr. Patel are professional, kind and wonderful. I attribute my near perfect dental health to their guidance. I have seen Celeste for 25 years and always look forward to our appointments. There is no dental office that I would rather go to. I do think they should consider prizes for best teeth and most charming patient but I understand there are more pressing matters that require their attention. 10/10 Dental office

Fantastic experience: Can't recommend this place enough. Two thumbs up The staff is kind, helpful, and non judgemental. The dentists are incredibly knowledgeable and best of all, not pushy!

Fantastic experience: So glad I found Northern Lights. Both Dr. Patel and Dr. Courtney are amazing (haven't worked with Dr. Schmaltz). Everyone, including hygienists and staff, is very friendly and welcoming. The facilities are top-notch. You can watch TV or listen to music while you're in the chair. As someone who has a lot of anxiety about going to the dentist and who avoided dental care for a long time because of that, the folks at Northern Lights are always able to put me at ease. Highly recommend to anyone. Thanks for taking care of my smile, Northern Lights!

Fantastic experience: Always an easy experience from appointment scheduling, treatments, coordination with Ortho. Never had a long wait or unpleasant experience. Everyone is easy going and nice.

Fantastic experience: This is for dean Mark Alvarez! He genuinely cares about students and their success.

Fantastic experience: I am someone who is extremely anxious about going to the dentist (haven’t been in 3 years and before that 15yrs) and Kasey made it a great experience.

Fantastic experience: I have been a patient of Dr. Chris Schmaltz and Dr. Neha Patel for seven years. My six month cleaning and exam today was great, the staff are incredible, as always. The newly remodeled and enlarged office looks AWESOME.

Fantastic experience: I was in for my cleaning appointment at Northern Lights Dental 2 days ago and like always loved everything about my visit. The girls in reception were very pleasant and had me checked in before I made it to the desk. Dani showed me around your newly renovated space, everything looks amazing. I saw Kobey for my cleaning. I cannot give this young lady enough praise. Last June when I was in she was so quiet and shy as she was newly out of school. Just one year later she is a confident, knowledgeable professional who is talkative and outgoing. She was very attentive to make sure I was comfortable frequently while cleaning my teeth. I had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Courtney, she is such a sweet and caring lady. Thank you Northern Lights for another positive visit. Missed seeing Michelle again this visit, but hopefully will see her in December.

Fantastic experience: Very professional group setting,they are the kindest people I had the pleasure of meeting with. From doctor to receptionist and x ray technition, would highly recommend this dentist, as a number one, on my choice of dental practices in Fargo.

Fantastic experience: I was having an area that was extremely sensitive to hot and cold but couldn’t identify the exact tooth. Dr. Schmaltz identified the problem and he got it taken care of. Also, he did a beautiful job on my front teeth they had quite a bit of stain on the lingual side and changed the looks of the two front teeth. Very happy!!! Staff is always pleasant and virtually pain free!!! Thank you! I would recommend Northern Lights Dental to anyone looking to change dentists. Deb Clark, Berkshire Hathaway
