About Elm Creek Dental
Based on Main Street in Maple Grove, Minnesota, Elm Creek Dental is a dental practice serving the area. A dental implant replaces a missing tooth at the root, not just the crown — a small titanium post is placed in the jaw bone and, once it has integrated over a period of months, a replacement tooth is attached to it. It is generally the most durable option for a single missing tooth or several.
Clear aligners straighten teeth through a series of custom, removable trays, each worn for one to two weeks before moving to the next in the sequence. They suit mild to moderate crowding and spacing well, and are worn roughly twenty to twenty-two hours a day for treatment to stay on schedule.
Cosmetic dentistry covers treatment aimed primarily at appearance — whitening, veneers, bonding, and reshaping among the more common options — for patients who are less concerned with a problem that hurts than with how their smile looks day to day. The right combination depends on what specifically you would like to change.
Root canal treatment removes infected or inflamed tissue from inside a tooth, cleans and seals the space, and allows the natural tooth to be kept rather than extracted. Its reputation for being painful is largely outdated — carried out under local anaesthetic, it typically relieves pain rather than causing it.
Emergency dental care covers sudden problems that will not wait for a routine appointment — severe pain, a knocked-out or fractured tooth, swelling, or a lost filling that leaves a tooth exposed. Same-day or urgent appointments are the point of an emergency service, rather than the standard multi-week booking window.
A crown covers an entire damaged tooth — used when too much structure is missing for a filling to hold reliably, whether from a large fracture, extensive decay, or after root canal treatment. It restores both the shape and the biting strength of the tooth underneath.

Very professional.
They advertise they do emergency services and when I called they said they are booked out until January of 2027
The Elm Creek Dental is a comfortable and welcoming environment with friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful staff. 🌞Katie, a hygienist, does a wonderful job cleaning my teeth (special thank you)🥰. Thank you for a nice experience.👏
Dr. Carter and his team are fantastic! Our family has been with Elm Creek Dental for 15+ years and I can't imagine going anywhere else. Everything from routine cleanings, cosmetic work and serious dental emergencies handled with skill and compassion. If you have dental anxiety (I do) this is the place you want to be. I actually look forward to my dental visits, it feels like I'm catching up with friends when I'm there!
I’ve been going to Elm Creek Dental for 25 years. My daughter and many people I have referred here also go there. They’ve always been friendly and professional and they keep current on the latest procedures and treatments for their patients. Like any other service you find who does a great job, you keep going because of the way you’re treated. Thank you for helping me to take good care of my teeth, Dr. Carter and staff! 🦷
I've switched to this dentist! When it comes to anything medical I try never switching because it's important to know my doctors, but I had to switch due to the bad experience I had with my last dentist visits and for the better. Dr. Carter and his hygienist made me feel at home, showed me the before, during and after procedure. Developed a plan with me and listened. Actually, listened!!! They also provided the cost ahead of the procedure. As long as they are this way with me they will regularly see me. Great experience!
Dr. Carter is an "old school" dentist as he really cares about his patient's dental health, not the almighty dollar! If he can fix it conservatively as opposed to expensively, he will. I appreciated his willingness to listen to me and then to explain things clearly. I highly recommend him and his awesome staff! They treated me exceptionally well!
Dr. Carter and his team at Elm Creek Dental have gone over and beyond in helping my family with our dental crisis. My daughter had a tooth infection when her molar came in during winter break and because of Dr. Carter's quick response, we were able to resolve this issue on Christmas Eve. My crown came off and the following day Dr. Carter and his team squeezed me in between their busy schedule to ensure I can get my crown issue resolved quickly. Thank you Elm Creek Dental for your considerations and aid to our family. You have been truly amazing!
Dr. Carter and the staff are a great team. They do a very thorough job and they are very kind. They are very intelligent people who are very passionate about helping people. Their dentistry changed my life because not only do my teeth look great, I can actually eat without difficulty for a long time. I got kicked in the face by a horse a while back, and a lot of my teeth got damaged. Dr. Carter made it possible for me to get a temporary retainer with teeth attached to it, which saved my dignity and self-esteem. After doing a few bone graphs I got a bridge and a number of implants. I was impressed with his patience, intelligent, kindness and passion. Cynthia Swanson
