The Dental Specialists

Diamond Top 1% Invisalign Provider 2022

The Dental Specialists is the Twin Cities’ only multi-specialty group dental practice. Their 20 convenient locations include clinics in Eden Prairie, Minnetonka and Chaska, and their 32 associates’ fields of expertise encompass orthodontics, dental implants, dentures, gum disease, facial fractures, wisdom teeth removal, root canal surgery, and every other type of care known to modern dentistry.

In short, if you have teeth – or if you haven’t got teeth, but would like to – then you only need The Dental Specialists.

Dr. Adam J. Sperl is one of The Dental Specialists’ five resident experts on orthodontics. He began taking interest in braces and clear aligners upon visiting his own orthodontist during middle school.

“I thought orthodontics was such a fascinating field of medicine,” said Dr. Sperl. “Not just in practice, but also for its results. Helping people become healthier and more confident seemed like the perfect career path. And I’m happy to say I was right!

“I partnered with The Dental Specialists for several reasons, chief among them being our group’s commitment to providing truly personalized care. I believe it is crucial to spend plenty of time with each of my new patients. I treat each newcomer to a complimentary hour-long exam complete with digital X-rays and a 3D intraoral scan, after which I answer any questions they might have about how they can achieve a perfect smile. 

“As a diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics, I enjoy nothing more than discussing the relative merits of braces, Invisalign and other orthodontic treatment options as I guide my patients toward selecting the best solutions for their unique needs.

“Over half of my patients currently opt for Invisalign. Children, teenagers and adults are equally excited to receive orthodontic care using a comfortable and virtually invisible appliance. Discreet Invisalign treatment also makes life far more pleasant, as the patient can remove them while they are brushing and flossing – not to mention enjoying foods like chips, popcorn and chewing gum.

“But for all of Invisalign’s benefits, there are still certain underbites, overbites and other malocclusions which are best corrected through traditional braces. Fortunately braces have come a long way since the admittedly awkward devices of the ‘50s and ‘60s, and an empathetic explanation of braces’ advantages is typically all it takes to put my patients at ease.

“I have dedicated my academic and professional career to orthodontics. But that is only one facet of dental medicine as a whole, which is why I so greatly value the support I receive from my peers at The Dental Specialists.

“True to its name, our group comprises the expertise of specialists in endodontics, oral surgery, orthodontics, pediatric care, periodontics and prosthodontics. Any one of those specialties requires a lifetime of study and practice to master. When I treat a patient whose dental health calls for specific expertise, my partnership with The Dental Specialists gives me peace of mind that the perfect referral is already available in a nearby Twin Cities clinic. And because our group adheres to a strict set of organizational standards, each of our patients benefits from seamless communication between all of the specialists their best oral care demands.

“Personalized care, state-of-the-art dentistry and a vast pool of shared expertise to rely on. No orthodontist could ask for anything more on their mission to help their patients!”
