The practice is led by Dr. Quintarias Lester, widely known as "Dr. Q," who is celebrated by patients as "The Joyful Dentist" due to his positive demeanor and dedication to patient well-being. Dr. Q, originally from Warner Robins, Georgia, pursued his dental education at Meharry Medical College School of Dentistry and completed an Advanced Education in General Dentistry residency at the University of Tennessee. He is committed to continuous learning, regularly taking continuing education courses in endodontics, clear aligner therapy, surgery, and dental implants, and is a certified Invisalign provider. Hilltop Dental offers a comprehensive range of dental services designed to meet the diverse needs of families in Maplewood and the surrounding areas, including Falcon Heights and St. Paul. Their services include routine checkups and cleanings, restorative treatments like fillings, crowns, and bridges, as well as advanced procedures such as root canal therapy and dental implants. They also provide cosmetic dentistry options like porcelain veneers and teeth whitening, and specialized care including periodontal (gum) disease therapy, TMJ/TMD treatment, and tooth extractions. For patients with dental anxiety, Hilltop Dental offers sedation dentistry, specifically nitrous oxide, and fosters a supportive and comfortable environment. The clinic emphasizes building long-lasting relationships with patients and providing tailored care. Notably, Hilltop Dental is highlighted as one of the few Black-owned dental offices in the Twin Cities, aiming to be a source of refuge and understanding for marginalized patients. The office itself is designed to feel welcoming and cozy, resembling a house rather than a traditional clinic, making patients feel at ease from the moment they arrive. They offer an in-house dental savings plan and accept various dental insurances to make care more accessible.

First let me start with the wonderful receptionists! They were kind and so very helpful to me. I had made an appointment to a different location on accident but she made it happen for me to be seen. Second, the dentist was amazing! He squeezed me in and was very polite and professional. His team was also very nice and friendly. I can tell they love their job and are able to have fun while still maintaining professionalism.

I truly felt at home. Not to mention how much the dentist cared about my dental health. You don’t find this anywhere anymore. Thank you so much Hilltop team!!

Dr. Q is hands down my favorite dentist I've ever had! All of the staff at Hilltop Dental are very nice, knowledgeable, skilled, and helpful! It's a very relaxing and inviting dental clinic, and it is completely unlike any dental clinic I have seen before. The waiting area has a fun cozy atmosphere, which is especially great for anyone that has anxiety! With every visit I have had with Dr Q, he has discussed options and recommendations with me when work was necessary, and he has always made a point to ask me if I had any questions at the end of the visit.

I feel Dr. Q genuinely cares and listens, and he's never made me feel rushed. I also like that he doesn't try to add more dental work than necessary! Some dentists I've had in the past I have felt were a bit too over eager to treat, but that hasn't been a worry for me at all with Dr.

Q, his recommendations are solid. TL;DR, I highly recommend Dr Q and his entire wonderful team at Hilltop Dental. If you're looking for an amazing dentist and dental staff to match, you should check this place out!

I’ve had the pleasure of being cared for by Dr. Q for the past few years and let me tell you, he is by far the best dentist that I’ve ever encountered! I’ve not always been a huge fan of dental offices; however, Dr. Q makes sure his patients are comfortable and helps to ease any fears they may have. He’s very patient and cares about each individual’s needs.

Dr. Q is extremely informative and he will always tell you the dental plan that he recommends for the best oral health! I look forward to visiting again to complete more dental work! Thanks again, Dr. Q!

My teeth cleaning appointment went smoothly at Hilltop Dental. First time service with Ciera. She was very thorough in making sure their records were up to date and inquired about any issues I was currently having before starting the cleaning process. I was very impressed with the way Ciera cleaned my teeth, gentle but really thorough.

Quintarias Lester DDS completed my check up finding no issues. Ciera then created my next appointment. Great day for me.
