Swanson Thekla K DDS

Dentists in Burnsville tend to cluster near the medical corridors, where traffic thins out after rush hour and the sidewalks feel less crowded. Swanson Thekla K DDS keeps an office inside the Nicollet Avenue complex at 14050 Nicollet Ave #100, a spot that’s easy to miss if you’re speeding past the stoplights. The building itself sits just off the main drag, tucked between a pharmacy and a physical-therapy suite, so the vibe stays low-key even when the parking lot fills up.

Routine cleanings, fillings, and crown work make up most of the schedule, though the practice also handles extractions and basic cosmetic touch-ups. Patients who need root canals or periodontal scaling can book appointments without a referral, which cuts down on the back-and-forth between clinics. The front desk answers questions at (952) 435-4102, and the same line handles last-minute rescheduling if a filling decides to misbehave on a Tuesday afternoon.

After the appointment, it’s a short drive to the Burnsville Parkway trails or the nearby Target run that always turns into a full shopping trip. For directions, pull up the map before you hit the road—Nicollet Avenue throws enough curves that even locals second-guess the turn. If you forget the number, the clinic’s name is still listed in the old phone-book section at the library.
