What the record tells you
The Dental Specialists, the trading name of Dental Specialists of Minnesota, PLLC, is an NPI registry record for a dental organization at 1895 Plaza Dr, Suite 130 in Eagan, Minnesota 55122. CMS issued NPI 1740438076 on 28 August 2008, and the practice last updated its own entry on 28 October 2020. That was 5 years ago, so treat the phone number and the suite number as unconfirmed until someone answers.
It is registered under 2 dental taxonomy codes: Pediatric dentistry (1223P0221X), Periodontics (1223P0300X). That puts it in 2 categories on this site, led by periodontics. A practice that registers more than one category is telling CMS it does more than one kind of dental work at this address, which is why it has a page here rather than a row. The same registered name appears at 21 distinct addresses nationally. That is either a group practice or a name common enough that unrelated offices share it, so ask whether pricing is set locally or by a parent company. One other dental record shares the street address: Park Dental.
Eagan holds 39 registered dental practices inside the Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington, MN-WI area, which has 1,612 in total on the Minnesota side and ranks 1st in the state. 1 of the Eagan records also register periodontics, so this is one of only a handful of local options in that category. Across the metro the mix runs general dentistry 56.7%, dental clinic or center 24.8%, orthodontics 8.9%. The closest other registered practices are Park Dental (0 miles, Eagan), Metro Dentalcare (0 miles, Eagan) and Now Care Dental PC (0 miles, Eagan), with 2 more inside 0.5 miles.
On our figures a routine adult cleaning in Minnesota runs $110 to $160 cash and scaling and root planing $180 to $280 per quadrant, against a US average of $125. This practice's own prices are not in the registry and never will be: NPPES holds identifiers, not fees. Call (952) 926-2763 and ask for the cash price on code D1110, whether the exam and X-rays are included, and whether they run a membership plan if you have no insurance.

What to ask when you call
- The cash price for D1110, a routine adult cleaning, and whether the exam (D0120) and X-rays (D0274) are inside or outside that number.
- Whether you need scaling and root planing before a routine clean, and the per-quadrant price for D4341 or D4342 if so.
- Whether they run an in-house membership plan, and what it covers against what it costs a year.
- Whether they are taking new patients and how far out the next hygiene appointment is.
- The practice license, with your state dental board. An NPI is a billing identifier and proves nothing about licensing.
CMS NPPES NPI data file, August 2026, snapshot 10 August 2026. US federal public data (FOIA-disclosable, no charge). CMS NPI files. NPI registry records, status as reported by CMS in the August 2026 data dissemination file. NPPES is an identifier registry, not a license register: an NPI does not validate that a practice is licensed, accredited or currently open. Practices maintain their own NPPES entries. Every page shows the date the record was last updated; addresses and phone numbers are as self-reported and are not verified by us. This page describes a registry record. It is not a review, an endorsement or a check on The Dental Specialists.
Price figures are our own, last verified April 2026. State averages are our estimates compiled from FAIR Health regional cost data and CMS Medicare fee schedules; the ADA discontinued its national Survey of Dental Fees in 2023, so no national fee survey exists.
