Our Practice

WHY OUR PRACTICE IS CALLED “FOREVER SMILES” –

            Our main office was named “Contemporary Dental” – one day Dr. Knorr presented the idea of a name change to Forever Smiles for a very personal reason – and we all voted that this would be the right name for us.

For the Knorr family, 2014 was a year of incredible joy, followed by agonizing pain.  Their angel, Lauren Emily, was born, but only lived for six-and-a-half months before she returned to Heaven…They were crushed.

The community lifted them up and took care of them in a way that made them understand that relationships are the sole core of our practice.  They remember the love and support total strangers provided them while they worked through one of the lowest points in their lives.

Dr Knorr said:  Every day, we remind ourselves of that support, and the best way we can honor our community is to commit to showing that same level of comfort and care when they walk through our doors.

The dentistry we perform is necessary, and for us, it’s enjoyable to give back to our community in this way.  But, most importantly we have created an abundance of meaningful connections with countless members of our community that we will closely hold onto forever.

With every patient we treat, I am reminded of my little girl, who I cannot wait to hold again…someday.

We all voted and agreed that this would be the perfect name for our office.   That is why we are called Forever Smiles.

It is this same philosophy that was the basis of the decision to bring the Forever Smiles name to our Chanhassen location as well. 

We are a dental practice devoted to restoring and enhancing the natural beauty of your smile using conservative, state-of-the-art procedures that will result in beautiful, long lasting smiles!

High Standards

A standard of excellence in personalized dental care enables us to provide the quality dental services our patients deserve. We provide comprehensive treatment planning and use restorative and cosmetic dentistry to achieve your optimal dental health. Should a dental emergency occur, we make every effort to see and care for you as soon as possible.

Education & Prevention

As a practice, we are true believers that preventative care and education are the keys to optimal dental health. We strive to provide “dental health care” vs. “disease care”. That’s why we focus on thorough exams – checking the overall health of your teeth and gums, performing oral cancer exams, and taking x-rays when necessary. We also know that routine cleanings, flossing, sealants, and fluoride are all helpful in preventing dental disease. Not only are we focused on the beauty of your smile, we’re also concerned about your health. A review of your medical history can help us stay informed of your overall health, any new medications, and any illnesses that may impact your dental health.

Uncompromising Safety

Infection control in our office is also very important to us. To protect our patients and ourselves, we strictly maintain sterilization and cross contamination processes using standards recommended by the American Dental Association (ADA), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the Center for Disease Control (CDC).

Training & Expertise

As your dental health professionals, we want you to be confident knowing that we are a team of highly trained and skilled clinicians. We pride ourselves in providing the care you need to keep your smile healthy. To give you the best possible service and results, we are committed to continual education and learning. We attend dental lectures, meetings, and dental conventions to stay informed of new techniques, the latest products, and the newest equipment that a modern dental office can utilize to provide state-of-the-art dental care. Also, being members of various professional dental associations helps us to stay abreast of the changes and recommendations for our profession.

A Positive Experience

Building a foundation of trust by treating our patients as special individuals is vital to our success. We understand how uneasy some patients may feel about their dental visits, and how we can make a difference in providing a relaxing and positive experience. Our entire team is dedicated to providing you with excellent, personalized care and service to make your visits as comfortable and pleasant as possible.

We thank you for allowing us to take care of your dental needs and look forward to serving you.
