Minnetonka residents looking for dental care have two nearby options through West Lakes Dentistry: the Chaska office and the Mound office, both serving the west metro and Lake Minnetonka communities. Whether you’re near Ridgedale Center, commuting through the southwest suburbs, or heading west after work, either location gives you access to a full-service practice without the drive into the city.
The Kind of Dental Visit You’ve Been Looking For
West Lakes Dentistry focuses on making each visit feel organized and respectful from the first phone call through follow-up. That includes explaining what’s happening before treatment begins, giving you honest timelines and priorities, and not pushing care that isn’t urgent yet. For Minnetonka-area patients who want an office they can stay with long-term, that consistency matters.
The practice holds a 4.9 Google rating, and patient reviews on the website reflect what that experience actually looks like visit to visit.

Dental Concerns We Help With Regularly
Patients from Minnetonka most often reach out when something changes — pain starts interfering with sleep or eating, a tooth breaks unexpectedly, or they realize it’s been longer than they thought since their last cleaning. Other common concerns include:
- Sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweets
- Gum soreness or bleeding that won’t go away
- Stained or discolored teeth
- Interest in straightening teeth without traditional braces
- Missing teeth and questions about tooth replacement
- Old dental work that may need to be replaced
If dental anxiety is part of the picture, the practice offers sedation dentistry options that make it easier to get through a visit comfortably. You can discuss these options when you call or in advance of your appointment.
Services at West Lakes Dentistry
General care starts with preventive dentistry — professional cleanings, comprehensive exams, and personalized guidance for maintaining oral health between visits. For patients dealing with visible damage or functional problems, tooth repair and crowns restore structure and comfort. Cosmetic dentistry options include teeth whitening, veneers, and smile-improvement planning.
For patients who want to replace missing teeth, dental implants are available, including All-on-4 implant solutions for more comprehensive tooth loss. The practice also offers Invisalign clear aligner treatment for orthodontic concerns.
The offices use advanced dental technology including digital x-rays, intraoral cameras, and a digital scanner to support accurate diagnosis and clearer conversations about treatment options.
