Blue Ridge Dental: Kemmitt, Gregory J. DDS

Dental care in Maple Grove’s northern stretches often means navigating a mix of chain clinics and smaller practices, but Blue Ridge Dental keeps its focus tight: general dentistry with the kind of routine services that anchor a neighborhood’s oral health. This isn’t the place for flashy cosmetic overhauls or experimental treatments—just the steady, predictable work of fillings, crowns, and preventative cleanings. This part of the metro thrives on practicality, and a practice that handles everything from pediatric checkups to denture adjustments fits right into that rhythm. No frills, just the basics done consistently.

The office sits at 13800 83rd Way N #100, a stretch of Maple Grove where the commercial strips give way to quieter professional suites. It’s the kind of address that’s easy to miss if you’re not looking for it—tucked into a plaza that also houses a tax preparer and a physical therapy clinic. The area doesn’t scream “dental hub,” but that’s part of its appeal: no tourist draw, no gimmicks, just a place where locals book their six-month cleanings and leave without fanfare. The surrounding blocks are pure suburban function—schools, strip malls, and the occasional coffee shop where you’d kill time before an appointment.

Running a dental practice here means catering to families who’ve lived in the same split-level for decades and young professionals who’ve just moved into the newer townhomes near Elm Creek Park Reserve. The needs are straightforward: a cracked molar fixed before the weekend, a teen’s wisdom teeth monitored, or a senior’s bridge relined. Questions about insurance or scheduling inevitably come up, so they list a direct line—(763) 424-2877—for anyone who’d rather skip the online forms. It’s the kind of detail that matters when you’re coordinating appointments between soccer practice and work meetings.

Maple Grove’s growth has stretched its borders, but this corner still feels like the suburb’s older, less polished self—a place where businesses don’t need to shout to be heard. If you’re heading there for the first time, the map pin drops you right at the suite number, no guesswork required. The building’s exterior won’t make an impression, and that’s fine. Around here, the point isn’t to stand out—it’s to be the place you don’t think twice about returning to.
