Fiant Dental

Two dentists are published on the Fiant Dental website, both listed as Fiant Dental general practitioners. Jay Ranfranz, DDS holds a Bachelor of Arts from St. John's University and a Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of Minnesota, and is listed as a Certified Invisalign Provider. Memberships published are the Academy of General Dentistry, American Dental Association, Minnesota Dental Association, Minneapolis District Dental Society and Spear Study Club. The site lists one award: Minnesota Women's Press "Best Dental Office" as voted by readers; no year is published for it. Jacob Wolf, DDS holds a Bachelor of Science from North Dakota State University and a Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of Minnesota, and the page says he graduated from the University of Minnesota in 2022 and has gained experience in both public and private dental health, from rural clinics to urban centers. His published memberships are the American Dental Association, Minnesota Dental Association, Minneapolis District Dental Society and Spear Study Club. The practice explains its name: "Fiant" is defined by the founding dentist as "to make new each time," and the motto is "Dentistry for the Joyful." The footer states "Over 5,000 Joyful Smiles." For care outside the office, Fiant Dental publishes a referral network of area specialists covering endodontics, orthodontics, oral surgery, pedodontics, periodontics, prosthodontics, snoring and sleep apnea, and TMJ, and says it coordinates the referral, treatment and follow-up communications with those providers. Questions about a specific dentist or referral should go to the office at (612) 827-7400.

Fiant Dental is a general dental office at 3225 Lyndale Ave. South, Minneapolis, MN 55408, in the Uptown area. The site describes it as a state of the art dental office and says the practice "provides complete dental care for people of all walks of life," for smiles of all ages "from pre-schoolers to old-schoolers." The published services list covers: Cosmetic — Invisalign (straightening teeth with clear aligners) and teeth whitening (at-home treatments to brighten your smile). Preventative — cleanings and exams, and sealants (tooth colored material to seal the grooves of molar teeth in children). Restorative — composite fillings (tooth colored fillings for cavities) and crowns and bridges (porcelain crowns for full coverage performance). Prosthodontics — dentures and partial dentures to replace missing teeth with a removable option. Oral surgery — extractions, removal of teeth that can't be restored. Endodontics — root canals, removal of infections that have reached the nerve of the tooth. Implants — placement of crowns on implants placed by the practice's implant specialists. Periodontics — scaling and root planing, and periodontal maintenance. Pediatric care — dental treatment for children 3 and older. Emergency care — treatment of emergent dental pain or discomfort. The site lists emergency care as a service but does not publish same-day or after-hours availability, so call the office to ask. For people unsure what they need, the page says "Contact us for a complimentary consultation" to be introduced to the office and have questions answered. The phone number is (612) 827-7400. No prices, rates or fees for any service are published on the website.

Lists Denton, Uptown, Minneapolis, Palo Alto, and University as a location. Names Minnesota and North Dakota as a service area. Areas beyond these are not published.

Fiant Dental does not publish any prices, price list, rates, fees or cost estimates on its website — there is no published cost for cleanings, fillings, crowns, Invisalign, whitening or any other service, so a quote or estimate must come from the office directly at (612) 827-7400. On insurance, the site says "Fiant Dental accepts a broad range of dental insurance plans" and that the practice is "familiar with hundreds of plans and will be happy to verify your coverage." It also states that Fiant Dental files electronic benefit pre-determinations and benefit claims on the patient's behalf. The plans the site names as ones it has worked with are: Delta Dental Premiere, Health Partners, Cigna, Aetna and Guardian. The page adds: "If you do not see your insurance listed, feel free to call us and see if we are in network." The site does not state that the practice is in network with any specific carrier, so network status and coverage should be verified by calling. For payment, the financing page lists cash, check, and credit and debit cards including American Express, Discover, MasterCard and Visa. The practice also offers a 90-day no interest payment plan and 24-, 36- and 48-month low-interest payment plans through CareCredit, described as a financing program designed for healthcare expenses and suited to co-payments, deductibles, and treatment not covered by a dental insurance plan. A CareCredit application is linked from the forms page. No interest rates, monthly payment amounts or approval terms are published.

To book an appointment with Fiant Dental, call the office at (612) 827-7400 during published hours; the website does not offer an online booking or scheduling tool. Appointments can be discussed by phone, and the services page invites people who are unsure of their needs to contact the practice for a complimentary consultation, an introduction to the office and answers to questions. On the first appointment, the site says: "We're going to ask you lots of questions at your first appointment. Then we're going to listen. We want to get to know you and establish a thorough record of your health. Then we'll work to establish a custom program of oral health to last you a lifetime." The published list of services a patient may receive at a first appointment is: review of medical and dental health history; oral cancer screen; temporomandibular joint evaluation; orthodontic evaluation; periodontal evaluation; radiographs (x-rays); intra-oral camera survey; prophylactic cleaning; review of smile esthetics; dental exam and treatment plan; fluoride and oral hygiene instruction for kids under 15; and determining a regular check-up interval. The website says these are services a patient "may receive" and does not promise which will apply to any individual visit. It does not publish an appointment length, a wait time, a new-patient exam price, or a cancellation policy. The practice does not publish availability, so open times must be confirmed by phone.

Fiant Dental is located at 3225 Lyndale Avenue South, Minneapolis, MN 55408 — the site labels this the Uptown address. The contact page says "Finding Fiant Dental is really easy, but call if you get lost." Office phone is 612-827-7400 and the fax is 612-823-8252. The email address published on the contact page is info@fiantdental.com. Published office hours are: Monday 7:00 am to 6:00 pm, Tuesday 7:00 am to 6:00 pm, Wednesday 7:00 am to 6:00 pm, Thursday 7:00 am to 5:00 pm, Friday 7:00 am to 2:00 pm, Saturday closed, Sunday closed. The same hours appear on the home page. To book an appointment or schedule a visit, the site directs people to call the office; there is no online self-scheduling or booking calendar published on the website. The practice serves the Minneapolis area from this single location; the website does not list any other office, branch or additional areas served, and it does not publish a service area radius or a list of suburbs covered. There is an online patient registration link and printable forms under Patient Information, but registration is not the same as booking a time slot. The website does not publish walk-in policy, parking details, or after-hours contact instructions. Anyone needing a specific appointment time, a same-day visit, or confirmation of current hours should call 612-827-7400 during the open hours listed above.

Fiant Dental publishes new patient paperwork on its Fiant Forms page under Patient Information. The page says patients can fill out an online registration through a link, or print, fill out and bring the files to the first appointment. The online registration is hosted at intakeq.com/new/bssunu. The downloadable PDFs published on the site are: a registration form, a medical and dental health form, a Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) document, and a notice of privacy practices. For anyone transferring from another dental office, the page asks patients to bring their previous dental records and radiographs (x-rays), or to have the records mailed to Fiant Dental by giving the previous office the practice's record transfer request; a transfer of dental records form is published as a PDF. A CareCredit application is also linked for people interested in the 90-day no-interest financing option. The forms page does not publish a deadline for returning paperwork, a fee for records transfer, or an appointment booking function — completing registration does not schedule a visit. To schedule, contact the office by phone at (612) 827-7400. The office is at 3225 Lyndale Ave. South, Minneapolis, MN 55408, and the published email address is info@fiantdental.com.
