Dr. Tran came off her maternity leave to deal with my dental emergency. Once she diagnosed my problem she offered to come back later that day to fix it. She and her dental tech could not have been more kind and professional.

Normally I feel great about visiting a new establishment if one person smiles, greats me and listens to my issues. I'd say that each Desk Administrator, the Dental Assistant and Dentist were pleasant and professional throughout my visit. I'll be returning for future work. :-)

Dr. Renee Taylor, DDS

Dr. Taylor earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree in 1991. She grew up in St. Cloud, Minnesota in a family of 8. She graduated from Cathedral High School. After high school, she attended the University of Minnesota earning her Bachelor of Science degree followed by the Doctor of Dental Surgery degree, from the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry.

Dr. Taylor has a great sense of humor, but is very attentive and precise when it comes to her dentistry work. She is a skilled, knowledgeable and experienced dentist, and is very detail oriented. Whether fabricating beautiful, flawless crowns or veneers for a patient or treating an infected, painful tooth, she takes great care in every situation. She especially enjoys the esthetic and implant aspect of dentistry and this is evident by the brilliant, flawless results seen in her patients. The needs of her patient’s will always be foremost for Dr. Taylor. She is especially patient with patients who are not comfortable with dental treatment.

Participating in martial arts for over 20 years, Dr. Taylor is a 5th degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do which she earned from DeWitt Martial Arts in Brainerd Minnesota. Outside of the dental office, Dr. Taylor enjoys running with her dog, cooking and especially traveling and spending time with her husband and three grown children.

Dr. Diem Tran, DDS

Dr. Tran earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree in 2016 from the University of Minnesota. Originally from Da Nang, Vietnam, she moved to the United States in 2006, earning a Bachelor of Science degree while majoring in chemistry at Georgia State University. She is a member of the American Dental Association, Academy of General Dentistry, Minnesota Dental Association, Spear Education, Dental Practice Mastery, and Implant Pathway.

Dr. Tran has a bubbly, charismatic personality that is infectious to be around. Her passions in dentistry are constantly evolving, as she is continuously immersing herself in a variety of top-notch continuing education courses that allow her to confidently offer a variety of services for her patients. Recently, Dr. Tran has devoted her time to studying implant placement, orthodontics, as well as tongue tie and lip tie procedures in infants and young children. Growing up in Vietnam, Dr. Tran recalls her own traumatic dental experiences as a child - including tooth extractions on the side of the road! Recounting her own dental experiences, Dr. Tran has a greater understanding for those that experience dental anxiety, and as a result, an improved sense of empathy and compassion for her patients. Dr. Tran takes great pride in the meticulous, comprehensive nature in which she approaches each case, with quality and patient satisfaction being of utmost importance; and although she loves the clinical aspects of the dental profession, Dr. Tran’s greatest joy results from developing lasting relationships with her patients and interacting with them on a daily basis.

In her free time, Dr. Tran enjoys hiking, biking, traveling, and reading a good book. Most of all she values family time with her husband Caleb and their daughters Luca and Minka.

Dr. Caleb Lunning, DDS

Dr. Lunning grew up in Zimmerman, Minnesota. From there, he attended St. Olaf College, majoring in biology while also playing basketball there - and oddly enough, basketball lead him into the field of dentistry. An unfortunate in-game elbow to the face of his teammate caused Dr. Lunning to narrow his focus within the medical field towards dentistry, and he has been incredibly happy with that decision ever since! For Dr. Lunning, the rewarding aspect of dentistry comes from empowering patients to laugh and smile with confidence through healthy and beautiful restorations. Although Dr. Lunning especially enjoys the challenges and variations that surgery brings forth, he is continuing to pursue other continuing education opportunities both on his own and with Dr. Tran.

In his free time, Dr. Lunning enjoys staying active through outdoor activities such as fishing, hunting, hiking, while also dedicating time to his family. He is a big Minnesota sports fan, and especially loves watching the Vikings! Dr. Lunning also enjoys taking his motorcycle out, although Dr. Tran is hard to convince to join him on those excursions. As cooking has grown into one of his interests, he enjoys testing new recipes, and he invites patients to share their favorite dishes at their appointments
