Why Choose River Bluff Dental
If you search for dentists in Minnesota, you will find that there are lots of doctors from which to choose. However, not all dentists are trained to provide general dentistry as well as cosmetic, reconstructive or neuromuscular dentistry services. At River Bluff Dental, we want to give you the tools you need to make an informed decision in your dentist selection process. When you see how Dr. Walter Palmer stacks up against the following criteria, we hope you will visit our office to see first-hand how our professional team can give you a spectacular smile.
We Have the Training and Experience
Cosmetic Dentists generally participate in numerous post graduate courses to increase their knowledge and further service options. Reviewing and verifying credentials, experience and professional affiliations will give you a window into the dentist’s knowledge base. Especially important is ongoing involvement in staying current on the latest dental technological trends.
Dr. Palmer has been a practicing dentist since 1987 and continues his studies in cosmetic and functional dentistry through post-graduate training from the world-renowned Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies. He is a well-respected member of the:
- American Dental Association
- American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry
- American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry
- Minnesota Dental Association
Training is one thing, but real-life experience is another. We encourage you to view our Before and After Gallery to see how we have helped past patients achieve winning smiles. We have extensive experience in helping patients of all ages correct problems with their teeth caused by genetics, tooth trauma or life habits, including:
- Misaligned teeth
- Cracked teeth

Our Technology is Top-Notch
At River Bluff Dental, we are proud to offer our patients state-of-the-art cosmetic dentistry technology to make our procedures more comfortable and effective. For example we can:
- Whiten teeth brighter and faster with ZOOM!2 technology
- Identify a patient’s optimal jaw position and ultimately reduce or eliminate the effects of temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ/TMD) using a TENS unit
- Provide gum recontouring that is comfortable and fast healing using a diode laser
- Allow patients to receive dental crowns in just one office visit using CEREC® 3 technology
Our Goal is Your Comfort
At River Bluff Dental, we understand that going to the dentist can make patients uneasy. Regardless of how qualified a cosmetic dentist is, if the patient does not feel comfortable with the professional team and the office setting, the experience will not be pleasant. We make it our priority to help our patients relax and place their full confidence in our abilities.
Whether you are visiting our office for a routine dental cleaning or undergoing a series of intense cosmetic dentistry procedures, we strive to make your visit as enjoyable as possible. Dr. Palmer puts patients at ease with his easygoing, professional chair side manner.
