Dr. Mark does a wonderful job and he is kind and thorough!

I’ve seen Dr. Rachel twice, once for a filling and once for a cleaning. She takes time to explain, listen, and do the dental work. The old filling (from a previous dentist) was giving me problems with the bite and food getting stuck and it eventually cracked. The new filling is much better. Also, the minimally invasive approach seems great. Maybe it’s just smart marketing (who wants maximally invasive dentistry?) but it seems like it’s a good thing to not be overly aggressive in treatment.

This is a first rate operation- from the moment you step into the reception area to the moment you leave. I feel very heard, very well cared for, and very understood. There are no wrong questions. Dr. Rachel is fantastic… leaves no stone unturned.

it’s one of the best well-oiled machines I’ve seen in a long time. but yet not a machine because there’s so much personality and personability involved all the time from everybody I’ve interacted with over the last 8 years ago into this place. oh sure there’s a lot of the same things that happen that you see at any dentist office. but we’re talking a level of professionalism that is the highest you seek as a customer.

I wound up breaking a filling, was new to Minnesota, and wasn’t in a position to get recommendations. My wife had done some research on dentists for herself literally 3 weeks before this happened to me. She found that Drs. Mark and Rachel Malterud did not use mercury fillings and had ozone dentistry options, both of which I would need.

I called the office, explained my dire situation and they got me in the next day. Dr. Rachel was professional, welcoming, and the staff equally so. After a detailed assessment of the damage, we decided that an ozone procedure would be required to save the tooth.

It’s been a month and that tooth is doing great. I had an issue with the tooth behind it shifting and creating an issue. The team got me in and quickly took care of that problem as well. I am beyond happy that she saved me from a root canal twice. I typically avoid writing reviews, but needed to in this case. These are dentists you can trust and I would highly recommend them to anyone in need.
Gratefully,

If you are at all anxious about dental work, give Dr. Mark a shot. (Oops; hope the “shot” didn’t trigger something. Insert wink here.) I researched and went a little crazy actually booking several consultations with different dentists and specialists, finally settling on this office, even though I live in Hudson.

He is able to prescribe something to help calm you, if necessary. But to my amazement, I have actually gotten through a couple of appointments without needing it. Something about his demeanor. He is warm and honest, also a bit funny, and he talks just enough to put you at ease but not so much you want to scream.

And being a person who always strives to be on time, I so appreciate the organization and efficiency of this office.

I’ve been a patient at the Malterud’s dental office for over 20 years. I always get a warm welcome from the friendly team. Liz is the best hygienist I’ve been to and lovely Dr. Rachel does an excellent job, as well! I am so glad that my adult children have only had minimally invasive dentistry from Dr. Mark their whole lives. What a difference it makes for the long term health of your teeth! This team is the best!!

Dr. Mark Malterud is wonderful! We sought out his care as a second opinion for my daughter. What I like most is that he is conservative in his care and very thoughtful in his treatment plans. No hasty, rushed decisions. He is kind, caring and highly skilled. Definitely recommend and I’m so glad we found him!

I delayed going for my cleaning & when it did get scheduled I was still a bit anxious. But from my arrival at the door greeted by Betty’s smile & thermometer,until I walked out, the experience was so positive. Infection control protocols were of highest standards and I felt safe during the whole visit. It was good to see Mark & now Rachel! Of course there is no hygienist better than Liz. In addition to her experience & exceptional skills , she is authentic in her concern for her clients’ dental health as well as on a personal level. Would not go to another dental group !

Dr Malterud is very concerned to always do the right thing, I completely trust he has my best interests in mind. I have never been to a better, more knowledgeable dentist than Dr Malterud. I would highly recommend him.

Mark is the absolute best. I recommend him and his team to everyone. No matter where I live in the world, our family will always use his services. Worth traveling the world over for. Thanks Mark!

I suffered from migraine headaches for 25 years. Medical doctors prescribed twenty-three different drugs, physical therapy and biofeedback, and nothing helped.

The headaches would last from 3days to thirteen days. I found information about the NTI splint on the internet.

After working with Dr. Malterud for a couple of weeks to get the right fit for my NTI, the results are great. I’may still get a headache but only for a few hours and not severe.

The NTI has made my life with headaches almost pain free.

To Whom it May Concern:

This is my own personal testimonial to the effectiveness and wonderful relief Dr. Mark Malterud’s NTI device provides for me. Injured at a young age in sibling child play, my jaw clicked and was painful for many years before finally being diagnosed with TMJ. My first device was literally a hockey puck guard, which was the most God-awful thing!! It did little to relieve my facial pain and actually made my headaches and clenching worse. I quit wearing it.

After changing to Dr. Mark’s Dentistry office in the mid 90’s he told me of this device due to witnessing my painful muscle spasms. His device really interested me due to the size, very small – fits on my two front teeth and also eliminated my clenching altogether!! I no longer have the headaches, facial muscle, jaw and teeth pains and I’m actually a happier person all around!! It has helped my teeth out by not requiring redoing of fillings. I’m not grinding my teeth down anymore either!! People see me smiling all the time and I believe my life is much more pleasant due to this device. It’s worth every penny to me plus some!! I will always wear it at night to bed, it’s the best!!

I have suffered from TMJ, a clicking in the joint of my jaw, since childhood. As a result, I’ve even had my jaw dislocate a few times in my life, simply by yawning. As I grew older, I found myself clenching my teeth, especially during times of stress. Eventually, this clenching intensified into grinding in my sleep. This resulted in the wearing away of my teeth.

This is when I sought out the help of Dr. Malterud. At that time, he fitted me with a night splint that prevented me from grinding my teeth down any further. After a few years, Dr, Malterud introduced me to information regarding new technology in splints that he felt would not only keep my teeth from grinding together, but would also relieve the clenching and resulting tension in my jaw and neck.

In July 2002 he fitted me with an NTI. The result has been a relaxation in my jaw that I have never experienced before. I know that the NTI is correcting the position of my jaw because of the reduction of the Click in my jaw. I also have a noted decrease of the tension in my neck muscles and experience fewer headaches.

The results have been so powerful, that I can’t imagine ever sleeping with out my NTI in place. In times of stress I will pop in my NTI and feel the results in minutes. I could not be happier with the outcome of the use of this device.

If you suffer from teeth clenching or grinding, tension headaches or TMJ, I highly recommend trying the NTI device. You could be smiling too.

It is truly a reason to smile.

I can’t thank you enough for recommending the NTI splint that you fitted me with about 3 years ago.

I had suffered severe headaches for better than 10 years, and from the first night I wore the splint have not suffered from one headache. I didn’t realize that I was clenching my teeth while asleep, which in turn, caused brutal headaches.

My daughter who suffered from chronic headaches was also fitted with an NTI splint and her relief was as dramatic and successful as mine.

I would strongly urge anyone who suffers from chronic headaches to be fitted with an NTI splint, and I would be happy to discuss my experience with anyone who would like to call me (phone numbers available on request).

The NTI splint has actually changed my life and was like a miracle in treating the cause of my headaches.

Gratefully yours

It’s hard to believe that something so small could change my life in such a big way. I have been pain free with out drugs or surgery for years now. My teeth have been saved from more damage because I don’t grind them any more. All I do is click the NTI into place before bed and I’m done. No effort involved. I’ve saved hundred’s in the process. I bit thru 2 of the bite guards that were designed to save my teeth. They were very expensive and didn’t do anything to prevent the pain. The NTI looked so small and I was very skeptical. It only took a week for me to be convinced that this was the answer for me. I simply can’t imagine going back to taking Advil every day for pain.

I have suffered from migraine headaches for over twenty years. I’ve tried everything from “migraine” scented candles to medications that cost $500.00 a box. I’ve tried chiropractic adjustments, reflexology and massage therapy.

One day in October, my life changed forever. I was fitted with an NTI. My jaw got relief and rest. My migraines stopped. The pain that took a mother from her children, a wife from her husband, and kept a woman from enjoying her life for hours and days at a time is gone. I can sleep better and have more energy now. I’ve lost weight now that I’m not too tired to exercise during the day.

I’m thankful for my NTI, the dentists, doctors and technicians who developed it, and especially for Dr. Malterud and his staff for their empathy, concern and care.

I’m free from pain.

Dear Mark

Thanks for asking my impression about the experience I had and continue to have using the NTI device. As you well know, I’ve been using it for several years now. You recommended it while examining my teeth and finding evidence of grinding during sleep. This was accompanied by some dental pain after some cavity work you’ve done.

We also discussed my headaches which all along I attributed to fatigue and stress. After your recommendation, although not particularly enthused, I followed your advice and used the NTI.

Although I never carried a particular diagnosis of migraine headaches or chronic headaches, I found a remarkable difference in their frequency once I used the NTI. The facial pain that many times accompanied my mornings after a stressful day at work went away. It remains present only when I forget to use the NTI!

As a personal observation, I found the NTI remarkably helpful for my sleep. I truly sleep better when I use it and find that I am more rested the next day.

I would be happy to participate in any data collection or the design of a study in order to assist other patients in finding the benefits of the NTI device. As you well know, I have no personal financial investment in this device and so I have no other motives of promoting it aside from what was stated above.

I hope you found this information helpful. Please let me know if I can be of any other assistance. Have a blessed Thanksgiving.
