Lakewood Dental: Katie Yoder, D.D.S.

Rochester’s northwest side has quietly added another option for routine dental care. Lakewood Dental: Katie Yoder, D.D.S. operates from a suite inside the low-slung plaza at 4131 26th St NW, a short drive from the industrial park and the neighborhood’s small retail cluster. They handle everything from twice-yearly cleanings and digital X-rays to fillings, crowns, and basic periodontal work without sending patients across town. The practice also keeps a few slots open each week for urgent issues—chipped teeth or sudden sensitivity—that can’t wait for the next available appointment.

Most visits start with a call to (507) 282-8082; the front desk can usually schedule within a day or two for established patients. New patients are asked to arrive ten minutes early to complete paperwork, so the actual chair time stays focused on the exam or procedure. When it’s time to leave, a quick check of the map confirms the easiest route back to Highway 52 or the residential streets of northwest Rochester, where the hum of the clinic fades into the sound of sprinklers on summer lawns.
