Ude Jenna B DDS

Dental care belongs on James Street. Ude Jenna B DDS keeps the tradition alive in a neighborhood where brick storefronts line quiet sidewalks and pickup trucks idle outside hardware stores. Routine cleanings, fillings, and emergency repairs happen here without fanfare, the way Brainerd residents prefer—practical, unhurried, and within walking distance of the post office and courthouse square.

You’ll find the office at 402 James St, Brainerd, MN 56401, tucked between a barber and a tax preparer. Crowns, bridges, and root canals are handled in the same building where neighbors have scheduled appointments for decades. The street itself feels like a timeline: old-growth elms shade the pavement, and the occasional train whistle from the nearby tracks reminds everyone how small the city still feels.

They handle everything from pediatric checkups to dentures, so families often book back-to-back slots. When it’s time to schedule, dial (218) 829-4243 and ask for the next available chair. The receptionist keeps a paper calendar that’s been used since the nineties, so don’t expect instant online confirmations—just a friendly voice and a pencil mark.

For directions, pull up the map on your phone before you turn onto James Street; cell service can get spotty near the river. The block hums with the kind of quiet industry that defines Brainerd—where people still stop to chat on the sidewalk and the dentist’s office is just another reliable stop on the daily circuit.
