Patient Benefits

At the dental office of Dr. Jacob Ihle you will experience:

A Slower Pace

We are geared toward top-quality dental care, not high volume. We allow plenty of time for each visit, so we can do our job to the best of our ability. Our slower pace will make it easier for you to unwind and enjoy your time with us.

Optimal Continuity of Care

Keeping the number of patients we see per day at a reasonable level prevents staff burnout and we have been blessed with long-term employees. This means you will see the same familiar faces every time you visit us.

A Friendly, Caring Environment

We are sensitive to your physical and emotional comfort. In this office, we love what we do.

Flexible Scheduling

You have a lot of options for appointment times at our office and can be seen promptly in case of emergency.

Individualized Care

We don't have a cookie-cutter mentality. You will receive care that is exactly what YOU need because everyone isn't the same. We truly look at what's best for YOU and not what's easiest or most profitable for us.

Highly Trained Staff

The entire staff of the Otter Tail Dental office receives extensive continuing education. We typically complete several times more continuing education than is required by our licensing boards.

Dentists Trained at the Pankey Institute 

Each dentist trained at the Pankey Institute is one of a small, distinguished percentage of dentists who have invested in postgraduate training at the world's premier dental continuing education institute, The Pankey Institute for Advanced Dental Education. This program is instrumental to the development of skills that allow your dentist to solve the most complex dental problems.

The comprehensive examination you receive from a Pankey-trained dentist will be unlike any you have received before. We care about you as a unique individual and will help you understand every aspect of your oral health during your examinations. Hearing about your concerns, opinions, and needs will enable our dental team to help you achieve the results you desire.

A Collaborative Effort

Dr. Ihle is a member of a Pankey Affiliated Learning Group and several other dental study groups. These study groups allow us to continue learning together with other dentists, bring in nationally known experts to teach a small group, and draw on these dentists’ expertise when we're working on a challenging or unusual case.
