Northstar Family Dental

Northstar Family Dental in Polaris is fantabular! It’s like a state of the art dental office plus a spa. Alyssa, Samm, Dr. Brooke Buller, and Jamey are awesome and make the entire visit even better. Great personalities and very friendly. And you can’t be mad at a complimentary wax paraffin treatment for your hands while you’re there! #glorious #northstarfamilydental #dentaldivas

I absolutely hate going to the dentist. I don’t like one thing about it. And I feel like, in my past experience, the hygienist and dentist always make you feel like crap about your dental hygiene. Lot’s of judgment. Lot’s of shaming. I never used to walk away feeling really good about my dental experience… until I found this place.
What a breath of fresh air! The customer service is exquisite. The staff are so kind and friendly. There is not one ounce of judginess coming off of these people. Dr. Kulesa is fantastic. So very kind.
My experience at Northstar was hands down the BEST experience I’ve had at a dentist ever. I’m not quite sure I could say I’m dying to go to my next appointment, but I would certainly say I’m not dreading it like I would have in the past.

I just moved here from Chicago where I had been seeing my dentist, who I really loved, for the last 20 years. To say I was nervous about finding another dentist would be an understatement. I came across Northstar by happenstance when out of nowhere I got a toothache, and needed it looked at immediately. I selected Northstar because they had great reviews, and they were close to my house.
This might be a long review, because I have so many nice things to say.
To start with, they were very flexible with my schedule, and got me in immediately.
They were THE NICEST people! My husband was working late, and I had to bring my 15 month old son with me. They were beyond accommodating to us. Everyone was so sweet to him, and played with him while he was sitting in his stroller while I was in the chair. It obviously wasn’t their job to do that, but it helped a ton. They even put a kids show on the TV, brought him a balloon, and let him pick out a toy from a toy chest they have for children.
The office was very clean, and seemed like it was just recently built. Everything had that extra special touch. For example, they brought me a warm cloth to wipe my face off with, and it was like what you would get at the spa. It was toasty warm and I’m pretty sure they put some essential oils on it, because it smelled amazing.
The thing that is the most important to me when I see a dentist is that they are conservative, and not doing unnecessary work. They could have taken advantage of my situation, and told me any number of things were wrong. They thoroughly looked at my mouth, and took X-​rays, and reassured me that my teeth were fine (I was just clamping them down when I slept).
Oh and the icing on the cake… or cookie in this situation? They give you a cookie before you leave! How cool is that?
I will be going to Northstar from here on out, and will also bring my son here when he gets older. I’m definitely suggesting my husband goes there too.

Everyone on staff was great and caring, thank you for the best dental experience I’ve had to date.

Spectacular service and skill. I spent all of 2014 getting caught up on many years worth of overdue dental work. Cavity, crowns, whitening, invisilign. I love the entire staff, they are so sweet and amazing. The office feels more like going to a luxury spa than the dentist. They even gave me a starbucks card the ONE time my wait was more than 10 min.
My only negative is that between the time I first researched a dentist in my network (Sept 2013) to the time that I had my first appt (Nov 2013) they were no longer in my dental plan’s network. Nobody in the office notified me… for one full year. All that dental work later I discovered I was paying my percentage off of the retail price of the dental work and not the negotiated fee that I would have for someone in network. I think that was a pretty big miss on the staff’s part, they should have notified me and been completely transparent with the cost.
I really do love these wonderful ladies, but once my braces are done I will have to switch to a dentist in network :(

They could not be nicer. Took my daughter for a cleaning and it was the most enjoyable dentist experience we have ever had. Thank you for making it easy!

I can’t honestly say that I have ever been to a more progressive, friendly dental practice. We recently relocated to Columbus and thankfully we found Dr. Christine Kulesa. The whole staff was professional, while still caring and kind with all the explanations of procedures and my concerns.
Great Dental practice for the whole family!

Who loves going to the dentist?!? Not me. However, this place is great. I’ve been putting off going for a long time (years) because I’ve only ever had horribly painful experiences. I’m so glad I chose this office because my experiences here are nothing like what I remember. The office is clean & NEW (read; super clean with nice amenities). There’s coffee, water, snacks & a TV in the waiting room as well as a cute kids corner. My dental work went by smoothly & I’m very satisfied. Dr. Kulesa & staff have a very precise routine & they work amazing together. The end result is a flawless procedure from start to finish. Prices were spot on with all the competition (& remember you get what you pay for, so less isn’t always best, eh?). They took my insurance without a hitch. As an added bonus they have botox & juviderm! Want to take off a few years but be discreet about it? What’s less discreet than a dentists office? My mom got her whole face done. The doc did a good job easing her into it & she looks completely natural & amazing. Seriously. Also while I was talking to the doctor I mentioned my headaches & she pointed out that botox injections can help alleviate headaches. So my mom treated me to a couple injections in my neck & jaw. They were a little painful but I can’t wait to feel the results! So the gist of the review is this isn’t the old school dentist office you may be used to. This is young & fresh. The staff is all upbeat & they’re great at what they do. Highly recommend this place to anyone.

I ventured to try this dentist office because it was close to work. I’m glad I did. The people are awesome and the dentist is excellent. They have a strong service orientation, really care about the well being of their patients, and establish a great rapport. Most importantly, they do an outstanding job providing care. I really like it and highly recommend Northstar Family Dental.

This is the best dental office I’ve ever been to. Everyone is very nice and professional. On my first visit I was given a tour, which seemed very unusual but it made me think they wanted me to feel extremely comfortable and familiar with the office. The service is usually really fast. they do a good job of getting you in and out. One time I did have to sit and wait for maybe 20 – 25 minutes after my scheduled appointment time due to an appointment running over before mine, but the front desk staff apologized to me and I was given a $ 25 Target gift card. I’m not nervous about visiting the dentist but for people who are, this is a good place. The staff is very friendly and comforting. They turn the TV to whatever channel you want to watch while they work on your teeth. I’ve recommended a few people here and will definitely recommend more.
