Apelgren Dental offers both cosmetic and traditional dentistry. Services at Apelgren include Invisalign, implants, bleaching, and more.
What about Apelgren are you particularly proud of?
Katee: Our reviews on Google say it all. We have the most 5-star reviews in Eagan. New patients walk in the door and say "I came because those reviews are amazing." Then they go and share their thoughts with family and friends. I think that's what sets us apart from other practices.
Jayce: Last year, we were nominated for the Emerging Leaders of the Year Award in Eagan. COVID hit us only six months after we opened and we were able to survive and thrive, so to recognize that was really great. We didn't win, but we thought it was a great accomplishment to get recognized together.
Why Eagan? What about the community brings you joy?
Katee: I grew up in the South Metro; Eagan is one of the bordering cities. We love the feeling of a small, close-knit community that is only a hop, skip, and a jump away from the lakes, shops, downtown, or other attractions of the big city. Eagan has beautiful trails, great connections, and it's growing all the time. There are so many perks that come along with its beauty.
Jayce: I'm from a very small town in the country. Even though Eagan is a city, it's spread out, it has nice parks, and it feels like you're in the countryside at times. Living in Eagan is being in city life but also makes me feel at home. Since moving to the area, we've gotten to know our staff and our patients. We've become really involved in the community and we love it.
How are you involved with the Eagan community?
Jayce: We're involved in lots of ways. We share a space with The Open Door Pantry; we run down there and take toothpaste or toothbrushes when they need it. We've donated over $12,000 worth of dental materials to Team Mutomo and Wellness for Africa. We also donate to Bags of Hope. A lot of these organizations are mentioned to us by our patients.
Katee: We also do Give Kids a Smile, going to local schools and other places to provide free dental care to kids in need. We give free oral education and have toothpaste and toothbrush giveaways. I look forward to going to the schools and around the community.

What is your New Year's Resolution?
Jayce: We have a seven-month-old. My resolution is to be the best parent, the best father, and the best role model that I can be.
Katee: Absolutely. As cliché as this is, another resolution is to start early with dental hygiene. Provide that education while they're young.
What New Year's Resolution should readers make to maintain healthy teeth?
Jayce: Floss! Oral healthcare is very important.
Katee: Come visit us. We're here and we'd love to meet you.
