Since 1948, Gentling Dental Care has been earning the
community's trust. Our longevity is due to the fact that we treat each
patient with the same care, quality and dedication
that our own family members would receive.
Gentling Dental was established by Dr. Phil Gentling who practiced from
1948-1986. In 1972, our office moved from the now Associated Bank
Building in downtown Rochester, Minnesota to its present location at
2210 North Broadway in Rochester. Dr. Kirk Gentling, son
of Phil Gentling, joined his father in practice in 1970 and retired in
2008.
Our patients can expect from us:
-
The highest degree of professional skill and ability.
-
A dedication to your oral healthcare.
-
A minimization of costly reconstructive work through proper preventive care.
-
Maximum effort to make your visits as comfortable as possible.
-
The right treatment at the right time.
-
Reasonable fees for the services provided.
