Your oral health and happiness with your smile is his primary concern. Dr. Jensens down-to-earth personality and strong ethical character ensures you will have an amazing experience.
While out of the office, when not taking continuing education courses that will help him earn a fellowship with the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry and Academy of General Dentistry, Dr. Jensen enjoys spending time with his family. Whether it be trips to the zoo, hikes in the woods or playtime at the park Dr. Jensen likes to find fun activities that his whole family can enjoy. Dr. Jensen also enjoys photography, cycling, cooking, and skiing.
Dr. Jensen graduated from University of Nevada Las Vegas School of Dental Medicine where he received training in all aspects of general dentistry including tooth-colored restorations, crowns and veneers, infection and disease control, and tooth replacement. He sought out additional training in performing root canals, implants and cosmetic dentistry beyond the requirements for graduation. Following graduation, Dr. Jensen practiced in Great Falls, Montana where he treated many of the underserved in the area.
Dr. Jensen is always looking for ways to improve the treatment and experience his patients receive. As a result, he continues to take continuing education courses in cosmetic dentistry, implant dentistry and sedation dentistry. Dr. Russ Jensen tries to complete 200 hours of continuing education every year.
Two of my favorite shopping experiences involve Costco and Amazon. What separates these retailers from others are their membership perks. Being a Costco member allows you to get discounts on all types of food and household items. Amazon Prime members enjoy 2-day shipping and a variety of other digital media programs. Memberships for these retailers provide certain benefits that would otherwise cost extra or not be available.
When I opened my dental practice I wanted to bring this membership concept to dentistry. At the end of 2014, it was reported that 205 million or 64 percent of the US population has dental insurance. This means that there are still 115 million people without dental insurance! This is a staggering number and I do not want the lack of dental insurance to keep people from receiving dental care.
It is not uncommon for patients who are new to our office, that has taken a break from the dentist for a while, to say the lack of dental insurance was the reason behind their hiatus. Looking for a solution to this problem Maple Grove Dentistry developed our own In-Office Membership plan.
In addition to routine care, should our members need any dental work the membership plan provides discounts on dental services that allow you to save money. If you end up with a toothache in between your scheduled hygiene visits you can schedule an exam at no additional cost.
