Fantastic experience: I have always been very happy with Mendota Dental dental. Dr. Sawyer is great and the people that do your cleanings are also very nice as well. I live in Bloomington so I originally thought I would try to go to a dentist that was closer. I tried a couple of dentists in Edina and both of them charged more and we’re recommending treatments not covered by insurance . I went back to Dr. Sawyer and he said they weren’t necessary and I’ve just been very happy with their service there
