Grand Ave Dental has been so nice and easy to work with. The staff is great. Dr. Stead was kind, professional, and knowledgeable about my teeth and any questions I had. If you're in St. Paul or the surrounding area, you're doing your teeth a disservice by not going to Grand Ave Dental.

Today I had my first appointment with Grand Avenue Dental: a great experience! Dr. Stead, her assistant Ying, and Robin at the front desk were all friendly and helpful. I especially appreciated Dr. Stead's approach to dentistry: competent, thorough and focused on what's best for the patient. I look forward to my next visit.

They have always been respectful, caring, friendly, knowledgeable and professional. This last visit was over the top though and deserves a shout out. I had some intense tooth pain over the weekend and they got me in right away. I was referred to a root canal specialist, they made the appointment for me and even gave me a follow up call after that appointment.

Very clean and homey inside. Most friendly staff I have ever encountered. I have not been to the dentist in a few yrs and I worried about the shame and grief I usually receive from dentist offices. There was absolutely no judgement here, I almost tear up thinking about it. They checked in with me often and made me feel very safe and comfortable. There is a bit of a wait for appointments but it is definitely worth it for me! Thank you to everyone that made this such a good experience.

Great place. Great people. It's nice to not hate going to the dentist. 🙂

Absolute Best Dental Experience I’ve Ever Had I cannot recommend Dr. Mulligan and Grand Ave Dental highly enough. Dr. Mulligan is, without question, the best dentist I’ve had in my life. From the moment you walk in, everything feels professional, calm, and thoughtfully done. The office itself is beautiful — a charming, historic home converted into a modern dental practice. That detail really resonated with me, as I grew up in an old house nearby, and it gives the place a warm, personal feel you just don’t get in typical clinics. I came to Grand Ave Dental after losing confidence in my previous practice, where multiple dentists retired back-to-back and hygienists constantly turned over. Here, the difference is immediate. Dr. Mulligan and the entire staff are exceptionally knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely caring. You’re treated like a person, not a time slot. One thing that truly stood out was my experience having a filling done with nitrous oxide. They use a newer, high-tech delivery system with a small, lightweight nosepiece instead of the bulky mask you usually see. It’s silent, unobtrusive, and far more comfortable — easily the best nitrous experience I’ve ever had. They also offer Botox for TMJ, which I’ve done here and can honestly say it works wonders. If you clench or grind your teeth — especially from stress — this alone is a game changer. Lastly, I was really impressed to learn that they stand behind their work by warranting fillings, even if one were to fail more than once. That kind of confidence and accountability says everything. If you’re looking for exceptional dental care with a personal touch, advanced technology, and a team that truly cares, this is the place.

I had my first appointment at Grand Avenue Dental today and was very pleased. I wanted to find a new dental clinic that was within our insurance network and close to our home, and was very pleased with the warm welcome and professionalism of Dr.Stead and the staff there. My dental issues and treatment plan were discussed at length with me, and not once did I feel the appointment was rushed. It's always anxiety-provoking to switch to a new clinic, but I feel like I have made the right choice.

Highly recommend Grand Avenue Dental. Every single interaction was pleasant and professional, with all staff members showing the utmost care. Best dental office hands-down.
