Forever Smiles Arlington — Family Dental Care for Kids and Adults
Friendly, judgment-free dental care for the whole family, right here in Sibley County. We welcome patients with CareCredit®, Proceed Finance, and Cherry Finance, and our team takes extra time with little ones, first-timers, and anyone who feels nervous about the dentist.

Arlington Dental Office — Address, Hours & Contact
Our Arlington dental clinic is conveniently located in downtown Arlington, MN 55307. We welcome new and existing patients from across Sibley County. Call us or stop in anytime.
If you are a new patient to our office, you will need to fill out our new patient forms when you arrive at our office. Printing them, filling them out, and bringing them with you will allow us to attend to your dental needs more quickly than completing them on your arrival. Along with the forms, you’ll have to bring a photo ID, insurance or MA card, and medication list. Thank you, and please call our office if you have any questions at all.

Arlington Patient Testimonials
Our patients’ stories are the best advertisement we have. These video testimonials were recorded by real Arlington patients — no scripts, no actors, no incentives.
Linda
Dental implant and crown
“I’ve been a patient of Dr. Knorr’s since he started his practice in Arlington. I’ve stuck with him and the group just because they’re great people.
Keith
Chrome denture
“I was having a lot of issues with my teeth—a lot of pain. At Forever Smiles, we got a game plan moving forward. I don’t have pain anymore and haven’t had dental pain in a long, long time.”
Richard
New Teeth in One Day
“I get a lot of compliments from people who knew I had bad teeth, and they say, ‘Man, your teeth look great!’ Dr. Knorr’s a great guy, and they make you feel comfortable here!”
Haven’t Seen a Dentist in a While? You’re Welcome Here
We understand dental anxiety, and we never judge. Tell us about past experiences, and we’ll build a visit around your comfort, with breaks whenever you need them.

Meet Your Care Team & Take the Next Step
Our team is here to listen, guide, and care for you — whether it’s been years since your last visit or you’re ready for a fresh start. At Forever Smiles, you’ll be treated with respect.
Your Questions About Dental Care in Arlington
Clear, simple answers to common questions about our dental services.
We recommend bringing your child in by their first birthday, or within six months of their first tooth coming in. Early visits are short and gentle. We count teeth, check for early signs of decay, and share simple tips for brushing and healthy habits at home. Starting early helps your child feel comfortable at the dentist for life.
es. Let us know about your child’s needs when you call, and we’ll plan the visit around them. That can mean a quieter appointment time, a chance to meet the team and see the room first, extra time, breaks whenever needed, and a parent staying close the whole visit
Never. Many of our patients haven’t been to a dentist in a long time, often because of a bad experience or worry about what we’ll find. We understand dental anxiety. We listen first, we never judge, and we focus on your comfort. We’ll explain what we see, answer your questions, and make a plan together, one step at a time. You don’t have to fix everything at once. Read about how we help anxious patients.
Sedation dentistry is available only at our Glencoe office, about 15 miles (around 25 minutes) from Arlington. In Arlington, we focus on gentle care and comfort, with breaks whenever you need them [confirm other comfort options, e.g. nitrous, headphones, blankets]. If you think you may need sedation, ask us, and we’ll coordinate your care with our Glencoe team. Learn about sedation dentistry.
Yes. Our Arlington office provides dentures and single-tooth implants. If you’re missing several teeth or have been told you need to remove all your teeth, we believe in saving natural teeth whenever predictably possible. For full-arch implants and Teeth in a Day, our Glencoe team offers a full evaluation and second opinion.
Yes. If you have a toothache, a broken tooth, or swelling, call us at (507) 964-2748 as early in the day as you can. We’ll do our best to see you the same day.
Our Arlington office welcomes patients with CareCredit®, Proceed Finance, and Cherry Finance. Before treatment, our coordinators check what your plan covers and explain any costs up front, so there are no surprises. If you’re not sure what your coverage includes, call us at (507) 964-2748, and we’ll help you find out.
