First Visit

First visit? We've got you.

Based on your child's age, we'll gently look at their smile and oral development, do a thorough cleaning, share easy tips for healthy habits, and answer every question you bring.

  • New patient forms — fill them out online before you arrive and skip the clipboard.
  • Insurance cards — we'll help verify coverage and walk through what's included.
  • A big smile — we love seeing it, and we'll send you home with an even bigger one.
When to start: the AAPD recommends a first dental visit by your child's first birthday, or when the first tooth arrives.

Meet the Dentist

Hi, I'm Dr. Matt.

Board-certified pediatric dentist and owner of Maple Grove Pediatric Dentistry.

“As a general dentist, I noticed most adults with dental fears could trace them to a bad childhood experience. That's when my career goal became giving kids the positive visits I wished every patient had.”

Dr. Matt grew up in Iowa, studied at Iowa State University, and earned his dental degree at the University of Iowa. He completed his pediatric dentistry residency at NYU Langone Health as chief resident, then practiced in Scottsdale, Arizona before moving home to Minnesota with his wife, Gina. Their daughter, Savanna, was officially the practice's very first patient.
