Get to know Dentist Dr. Stephanie Miner, who serves patients in Minnesota.
Specializing in family and cosmetic dentistry, Dr. Miner is a skilful dentist working at West Lakes Dentistry with offices in Mound and Chaska, Minnesota. She is honored to serve both communities by providing advanced dental care that is convenient and comfortable for patients.
The focus of her practice is comprehensive oral health and dental implant restorations. Continuously striving for excellence, she and her colleagues truly believe in the old adage that “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”
Throughout her academic career, Dr. Miner earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Microbiology at Arizona State University in 1996. She continued her education at the University of Minnesota School of Public Health and School of Dentistry, earning her Master of Public Health (MPH) degree in 2000 and her Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree in 2004. She began West Lakes Dentistry in Mound in 2011 and years later, in June of 2017, West Lakes Dentistry acquired its second practice in Chaska.
Dedicated to continuing education and lifelong learning in order to give her patients the best dental treatment, Dr. Miner remains an active member of the Minnesota Dental Association, the American Dental Association, the Academy of General Dentistry, the International Congress of Oral Implantologists, and the Spears Study Club.
A graduate of the Kois Center, she has completed hundreds of hours of advanced training in pediatric dentistry, dental implants, gum surgeries, and treatment of complex dental cases.
Dentistry, also known as Dental and Oral Medicine, is a branch of medicine that consists of the study, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases, disorders, and conditions of the oral cavity. Dentists diagnose and treat dental issues and help patients develop better oral hygiene regimens. They clean teeth, correct bite issues, perform surgeries and extractions, and perform other duties to ensure that the teeth and mouth are healthy.
Active in her community, Dr. Minner is involved with Give Kids a Smile and provides dental screenings through Head Start programs. She also established the Oral Disease Prevention Unit of the Minnesota Department of Health.
Outside of the office, she and her husband have three very fun and active children, and they spend most of their time in a hockey rink or on a soccer field. She also enjoys running, hiking, down-hill skiing, and traveling.
