Minot Smiles Dental Co., formerly known as Olson Family Dental, is a solo-practitioner dental practice in Minot, North Dakota, led by Dr. Megan Olson. The practice specializes in comprehensive, compassionate dentistry for patients of all ages, with a focus on individualized care and a calming, anxiety-friendly environment. Dr. Olson has been practicing dentistry in Minot since 2014 and built the practice around a single guiding principle: every patient deserves to feel genuinely cared for, not just treated. While the practice has a new name, patients can expect the same trusted doctor, dedicated team, and personalized care they have come to know over the years. Patients consistently choose Minot Smiles Dental Co. because of its relationship-focused approach, knowledgeable team, and the continuity of seeing the same trusted provider at every visit. For families and individuals throughout the Minot area seeking a dentist who prioritizes relationships over volume, Minot Smiles Dental Co. continues to be a trusted choice.
Dr. Megan Olson is the dentist and owner of Minot Smiles Dental Co., a practice with three generations of dental heritage in Minot. Her grandfather practiced dentistry in Mohall for over 40 years, and her father has practiced in Minot since 1979. Dr. Olson herself returned to her hometown in 2014 after completing dental school, carrying forward a family tradition of community-rooted, relationship-driven care. She is an active member of the American Dental Association (ADA) and the North Dakota Dental Association, and currently serves as Treasurer of the Minot Dental Society. Outside the office, she is involved in Kiwanis International, Young Professionals, and the Minot Ambassadors.


Minot Smiles Dental Co. provides routine exams, professional cleanings, and personalized oral health education designed to keep patients healthy between visits. Preventive care is the foundation of Dr. Olson’s practice philosophy, focused on catching small problems early before they become costly ones.

For patients dealing with missing teeth, Minot Smiles Dental Co. offers dental implants as a permanent, natural-looking restorative solution. Dr. Olson evaluates each patient’s bone structure and oral health before developing a detailed implant treatment plan.

Restorative dentistry at Minot Smiles Dental Co. rebuilds the strength, function, and appearance of teeth affected by decay, damage, or wear. Dr. Olson offers conservative solutions including composite fillings, crowns, bridges, and dentures to preserve natural teeth wherever possible.

Dr. Olson places tooth-colored composite fillings that restore decayed or damaged teeth to full function while blending naturally with the surrounding smile. Every filling is placed with precision and finished to match the patient’s natural tooth color and bite.

A dental crown is a custom-crafted covering that encases the entire tooth surface, restoring its original shape, size, and strength. Dr. Olson recommends crowns when a tooth is significantly cracked, decayed, or weakened and ensures every crown is fitted for long-term comfort.

Root canal treatment preserves a natural tooth by removing infected or damaged pulp from the root, eliminating the source of pain without requiring extraction. Dr. Olson approaches endodontic treatment with care and patience to make the experience as comfortable as possible.

Dr. Olson provides evaluation and treatment for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, which affect the jaw joints and muscles responsible for chewing and speaking. Each patient receives an individualized management plan aimed at relieving jaw pain, headaches, and related discomfort.

At Minot Smiles Dental Co., dentistry is personal. Dr. Megan Olson is the only provider patients will ever see, so every relationship is built on consistency and trust that deepens over time. The practice is intentionally structured to feel different from high-volume dental offices, with an unhurried pace and a team that genuinely knows each patient by name.

The environment at Minot Smiles Dental Co. is quiet, clean, and free of the rushed atmosphere common in larger practices. Patients who have previously avoided dental care due to anxiety frequently describe it as the first office where they felt genuinely comfortable.

Before recommending any treatment, Dr. Olson conducts a thorough assessment, asks detailed questions, and ensures patients fully understand their options. Her approach reflects a belief passed down through three generations of family dentistry: that listening is just as important as treating.

Whether a patient needs a single filling or a multi-step restorative plan, Dr. Olson evaluates the full picture before making any recommendation. No two care plans at Minot Smiles Dental Co. look alike because no two patients are alike.

Dr. Olson grew up in Minot, chose to return after dental school, and has remained actively involved through organizations like Kiwanis International and the Minot Ambassadors. The practice reflects that commitment: locally owned, community-minded, and built for the long term.
