Dr. Johnson and staff are very welcoming and kind. I had a filling done recently and they made sure I was kept comfortable and aware of what was happening. There are many good reasons why most of my coworkers go to Saving Smiles Dentistry as well!

The best dental office I've had the pleasure to go to. They don't make you feel guilty or judge you if you have any tooth issues or if you don't floss quite as much as you should. They kindly educate on how to keep your teeth healthy. The prices are very reasonable. The dental assistants are SO friendly and Dr. Johnson is friendly, thorough, and a great dentist overall. I will always recommend this dentist to anyone who needs one. Lifelong dental anxiety is now non-existant. Thank you!

I absolutely hate going to the dentist. It’s one of my biggest stressors in life. However I was completely blown away by the upbeat and happy atmosphere that Saving Smiles Dentistry omits. From the moment you walk in everyone is showing positive energy. They knew I was nervous and my dental hygienist Allie was amazing at distracting me. I have been lax on keeping up on my dental work and instead of belittling me or scolding me both Allie and Dr. Johnson were supportive and gave me ideas of at home care. They gave me some ideas of different things that I could do to improve my oral care however I didn’t feel like they were trying to shove expensive procedures down my throat. Every question/concern was address throughly. As for the actual exam and cleaning. Wow Allie did such an amazing job my teeth look fantastic and there wasn’t any pain. I’ve had hygienists that blame me for being in pain during a cleaning because I don’t floss enough. She did such a nice job and was so considerate of my sensitive areas. I could go on and on. I recommend them 100% I won’t go anywhere else from now on.

Dr. Johnson and dental hygienist Riley are wonderful! This was my first visit, after switching from another dental clinic. I'm thrilled to say that Saving Smiles is my new dental clinic! I highly recommend checking them out.

I actually sort of enjoy going to the dentist because my hygienist is so nice and she always remembers little facts about me and we have good conversation! Everyone is very friendly and Dr. Johnson is very good.

Saving Smiles Dentistry is wonderful. Everyone is very welcoming and easy to work with. Riley was my dental hygienist, and she was above and beyond. She is very caring and conscientious in all aspects of her job, which made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. Since I’m getting married in the next month, I was also offered to have complimentary molds done at my apt., and I will receive a free custom-fit whitening mouthguard! Needless to say, I am very satisfied with my experience at Saving Smiles Dentistry!

Best dentist experience I’ve ever had. I actually look forward to getting my teeth cleaned by Carrie just because she’s so nice! 10/10 would recommend.

I have been going to Saving Smiles for many years! Before Saving Smiles, they were known as Fargo Family Dentistry with Dr. Colbert. The service did not change at all! The staff is very friendly and want to provide you and your family with the best service. Definitely recommend.

I had my first appointment at Saving Smiles Dentistry today. Everyone was very friendly and made me feel comfortable. I felt like I was more than just a patient; I was treated as a unique individual. I would highly recommend Saving Smiles Dentistry to everyone I know.

Great experience at Saving Smiles. All my questions were answered. The staff is very professional and friendly. This has been only my second time here but I feel they know who I am - not just a patient.

Myriah Kern

I can't say enough great things about Saving Smiles Dentistry - from their receptionists to the hygienists - everyone is fantastic. To be honest, when I first came to Saving Smiles, I had a pretty solid fear of the dentist. The team there has helped me get my dental health back where it needs to be and I am so very thankful to have them be part of my health team!

Aaron Larson

Best Dentist in Fargo, hands down. Dr. Johnson is great at what he does and gets to know his patients. The staff and Hygienists are wonderful and helpful with anything you need.

I LOVE Saving Smiles Dentistry!!! The staff is extremely inviting, friendly, and accommodating. The appointments are quick, easy, and (relatively) painless. Dr. Johnson and his staff really care about their patients, and I would recommend Saving Smiles to anyone!!

Dr. Johnson and his staff are friendly, professional and caring. They squeezed me in when I had a broken tooth. My new treatment plan and my options, including financial, were clearly articulated to me by Kelly and Dr. Johnson.

Amanda Reinert

19:17 12 Feb 19

I love saving smiles for my family dentistry. My husband and I have had some bad dental experiences in the past, and we both fell in love with saving smiles 3 years ago when we decided to give another dentist a try. Since falling in love with a place I can trust, I have gone forward with taking better care of my teeth, more frequent cleanings, to braces for myself at age 34! To getting an implant, to getting a crown done. I trust saving smiles for it all AND I love how they communicate the cost with me right up front!.

My hygienist Sarah is always very thorough and gentle on my visits. Always on time and I never have to wait. This is very important for people who have to go back to work that day. I'd recommend their services anytime.

Nicole Duncomb

16:48 17 Jan 19

new customer and they got me in right away. Sara was amazing and listen to my teeth issues.. She made me feel at ease as I have bad anxiety when it comes to working on my teeth.

Friendly and courteous team that work well together. Was able to get in and get great results. Will be returning.

Debbie Ann

I love Carrie, the dental hygienist - she makes the entire experience worth it for me. She treats me just like a patient who is coming in to have my teeth cleaned but she is genuine, kind, and sees me as a person understanding that what's going on in my life just as much affects my ability to care for my teeth as my physical and emotional health do! I love this place because of her!

Devin Smith

17:10 20 Dec 18

I had my first appointment at Saving Smiles today and was very pleased with my experience! Dr. Johnson fixed my retainer and Kelly assisted him. They were very friendly and professional. The receptionists at the front desk were welcoming and helpful. I will definitely be back for future visits!

Matt Shappell

The staff at Saving Smiles Dentistry was extremely friendly and helpful! They were able to see me on short notice. I will recommend Saving Smiles Dentistry to all my friends.

I am a terrible dental patient. Over the last 50 years of dentistry I have had several extremely painful experiences. The care and thoughtfulness of the staff has helped me get over past problems. Dr. Johnson is very professional and understanding of my past bad experiences elsewhere. At this point in my life Dr. Johnson and his wonderful staff, is the only dentist I want to go to.

I have been coming to this office for 5 years and really love the staff and dentist- when he retired and Dr Johnson took over I was hoping it would still be the best dental office and staff I have ever had and I am happy to say that it is still the best dentist and staff I have ever been too! Everything gets explained, as well as the cost before, as I don't have dental insurance. The work done by the dentist and staff is reasonablely priced for those without insurance and they have a discount plan as well to help even more. I am always comfortable and pain free and the quality of the work is excellent! I highly recommend this dentist and his staff!

Tyler Pool

16:00 07 Nov 18

This is a really good place. They talk to you and try to get to know you. You don't feel like just another set of teeth coming in. Excellent staff. Professional

Dr. Johnson and team do a great job with little kids! My son had to get a cavity filled which is never any fun. The staff at Saving Smiles explained the whole process to him, let him see the tools, and were exceptionally patient getting him comfortable with what was going to happen. They did the best job possible with a not-so-fun situation.

Nathan J

16:21 10 Sep 18

Love them! They always do great work, they’re super helpful with insurance questions and billing, and are very friendly. I recommend them to everyone who asks!

Christina McDaniel

18:38 04 Sep 18

This was my first visit to Saving Smiles. Everyone was really friendly & helpful. They made my dental visit as comfortable as could be. They listened to what I was saying & asked questions to clarify something then explained what they could do. Even when I needed an Oral Surgeon they recommended one & called & made the appointment for me. I will continue to come here.

Molly McBride

22:17 17 Jul 18

I was with Dr.Colbert, a close family friend my whole life... When Dr.Johnson and his staff came in I was hesitant. But I couldn’t have asked for better people! Every single person is so friendly and helpful! Gwen*(sp?) was so helpful and calmed me down greatly! I have anxiety and she probably could tell I was getting anxious while I was checking my heart rate randomly. But she was awesome and I can’t thank her enough for everything! Dr. Johnson worked quick and was so gentle during the procedure. Thank you everyone! I can’t wait to go back and keep working to get my perfect smile back!

They were friendly.. They gave mints and pens and even ChapStick... Best thing it was free. No cavities for me but can't say the same for who was next to me. 🤣

Dylan Nord

Had no problem. Nice and clean office, and professional job. Teeth came out of there better than ever. I will be going back, and recommend this place to others.

Elizabeth Eisert

15:22 04 Apr 18

Friendly staff and a warm, inviting atmosphere. The staff get to know you by name. They are very gentle with kids too. It's a great dentist for the whole family!

Kelsey Holland

Great first visit at Dr. Johnson's office. I have been to a few different dental offices in the FM area and I haven't met anyone that made me feel as comfortable and that his priority was truly to provide the best dental care at an affordable cost to his patients. His office staff is friendly and approachable too with questions that I had. I'm so glad that he is our family dentist now! I highly recommend Dr. Johnson to my family and friends!!!

Michelle Haarsager

I was having major pain over the weekend and needed to get in yesterday ASAP. I called a few places and some were booked, some didn't take my insurance, and one didn't take new patients. I have heard nothing but good but Dr. Johnson so I went on google and got the number to call. I called over and the lady was very helpful got me in, asked if I had any questions, etc. I knew from the start that it was going to be a good choice that I had made to go see Dr. Johnson. Everyone was so friendly at the receptionist desk, Kelly who did my x-rays and was with me in the back room was amazing. Dr. Johnson came in, said what needed to be done so I'm taking care of that today and then will be seeing after for my check up that I have next week. After all the years of going to the dentist this was the best experience even though it was only one day, I'm going to start going here from now on.

Arthur Larson

I have been going to Saving Smiles for a few years now and it is always a great experience. They will greet you by name the second you walk in the door and even after month of not seeing them they still know what is going on in your life. they are very quick and do a great job on any procedure. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a new dentist.

Suan Hanson

15:52 30 Aug 17

Great Front Office service, excellent hygienist and Dr. Johnson's honest approach to dentistry. They are super helpful and excellent with young children. They don't try to "up sell" you with unnecessary work. Superb all around.

Katie Mikkelsen

22:06 23 Jul 17

I've been going to Saving Smiles Dentistry for a little over 2 years now. They have always show the utmost care to me as a patient and a person. Dr. Johnson helped me by getting ready for my wedding and setting me up with a pair of bleaching trays. He also took the most time and care setting my crown and making sure everything fit and looked great. His staff over and over again has made me feel comfortable and relaxed. I am confident recommending Dr. Johnson and his team to everyone!

jessi larson

13:44 24 May 17

I absolutely recommend Saving Smiles Dentistry. The staff is so polite and nice and I'm always greeted with a "good morning Jessi!". Carrie has been my dental hygienist for years and she's fantastic! Dr. Johnson is also wonderful and keeps the office up to speed with new technology which makes the patient experience much better than in the past. Thank you team SSD!

Robert Nundahl

My dental care is in very good hands with Dr. Johnson and Staff. From their upcoming appointment reminder call, their explaining the cost of the procedure, the actual procedure and their follow up call, everything has been terrific. Very friendly staff who make you feel at ease. Thank you Dr. Johnson and everyone!

J and M Miller

01:40 28 Apr 17

Dr. Johnson has been our family dentist ever since Dr. Ugland retired. From the moment you arrive at Dr. Johnson’s office, you feel as though you are the most important person there. They make sure you’re comfortable and take time to explain what to expect. While the Doctor always seems to get the credit, in this case deservedly so. I feel the supporting staff needs some recognition. Besides being an excellent dentist, he has surrounded himself with some of the best people in the business. Not only is he my dentist, I consider him as a friend.

Brandi Nash

16:54 18 Apr 17

Savings Smiles has a great team. They did an excellent job during the process of my latest root canal and crown placement. Very good communication & excellent follow up post procedures! They are all very friendly and professional. I definitely would recommend them as a great dental team who cares about their patients!

Littlest Pet Shop Vids

My name is Joni Minor, not Littlest Pet Shop vids! My daughter got a hold of my phone and changed my name... 😬. Anyway...This place is fantastic. Having moved to Fargo four years ago, I had no idea how I was going to find a quality dentist. Because I didn't have dental insurance at the time, I found Saving Smiles online and saw that they offered a payment plan that worked for me. Not only did they provide me with a payment option I was able to manage, they provided excellent service and care. I brought my daughter here recently for a check-up and after her appointment, she told me she LOVED the dentist, and didn't even mind having to go back to get her cavities filled. Today I asked her if she still loved the dentist after having her fillings, and she said YES! Everyone is so friendly and it was so cute hearing Dr. Johnson (while I was in the waiting room), tell my daughter, "You did a great job!!!" I would recommend Saving Smiles to anyone. Now I have to make an appointment for a cleaning myself!
