About Us

Interlachen Dental Associates has been a staple in the Edina community since 1987. We’re a privately owned, family-focused practice that cares for patients of all ages—from toddlers to great-grandparents.

We hold ourselves to high clinical standards, but we also value the human side of dentistry. Compassion, communication, flexibility, and laughter (especially in sterilization!) are what makes us a strong team.

We offer a broad range of care—from routine services, preventive care, to Invisalign, surgical implants, laser therapy, Dysport/fillers, digital scanning, and more. You’ll work alongside two experienced dentists who value their hygiene team and are committed to collaborative, personalized, and compassionate care.

Our office is continually growing, and with that growth comes ongoing investment in our team. We aim to create a workplace that is comfortable and one you look forward to coming into.

If you're looking for an office where you'll feel supported, appreciated, and inspired—and where exceptional patient care is our shared passion—we might be the perfect fit.
