Lake Dental

Lake Dental is a prominent dental clinic located at 2200 London Rd, Duluth, MN 55812, committed to providing a wide range of dental services to the Northland community. The practice is led by Dr. Robert LaCosse, who is notable for being the first general dentist north of Minneapolis to achieve full accreditation from the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) over 23 years ago. This accreditation signifies a high level of skill, dedication to patients, and a commitment to ongoing education and excellence in cosmetic dentistry, an honor held by only about 300 members worldwide within the AACD. Dr. LaCosse also holds a prestigious Fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry and an invitation-only Fellowship in the International Academy of Dental Facial Esthetics, making him the only dentist in the Midwest to hold all these honors simultaneously. Lake Dental was founded "from the ground up" with the philosophy that patients deserve access to the best possible dental care, focusing on extraordinary kindness, concern for overall well-being, and a dedication to the art and science of exceptional dentistry. The clinic offers a comprehensive suite of services, including general care (cleanings, fillings, root canals, oral surgery), cosmetic dentistry (whitening, veneers, smile design), reconstructive dentistry (implants, crowns, dentures), and specialized treatments like IV sedation for anxious patients, Six Month Smiles™ orthodontics, sleep apnea solutions, and TMJ/TMD diagnosis and treatment. They pride themselves on being able to perform most procedures in-house, minimizing the need for external referrals. Patients consistently praise Lake Dental for its skilled and compassionate staff, comfortable and modern office environment, and patient-centric approach. The clinic is equipped with leading-edge dental technology and offers amenities such as views of Lake Superior, personal entertainment with television and headphones, and complimentary beverages to enhance the patient experience. They also offer flexible financial options, including working with various insurance plans and providing a savings plan for those without insurance, as well as financing through CareCredit®. Lake Dental has a strong focus on patient education and prevention, aiming to build trust and provide the highest level of care for families at every stage of life.
