Areas We Serve Near Aberdeen, SD

For many families and individuals living across northeastern South Dakota and southern North Dakota, getting to a dentist means driving past a practice that only offers the basics to find one that actually offers everything they need. When your community does not have access to Invisalign, oral appliance therapy for sleep apnea, same-day crowns, or perio laser therapy, the trip to Aberdeen is worth it. The question is whether the practice you drive to treats you like a long-distance patient or like a neighbor.

At Smile Solutions, Dr. Amy Scepaniak and Dr. Aleaha Fettig Ledeboer have been welcoming patients from across the region since 2009. As the only locally owned, non-chain dental practice in Aberdeen, we build long-term relationships with every patient we see, whether they live down the street or make the drive from Mobridge, Webster, Gettysburg, Oakes, or Ellendale. We accept Delta Dental, see VA patients, and offer CareCredit and Cherry financing because we know that for patients traveling from a distance, every part of the experience matters.

Why Patients From Across the Region Choose Us

Rural dental access is a real challenge across the Great Plains. Many smaller communities have limited provider options, and when a specialized service is needed, like oral appliance therapy for sleep apnea or Invisalign for teens, patients often have to look outside their immediate area. According to the Rural Health Information Hub, rural residents face significant barriers to dental care access, including fewer providers and longer travel distances to specialty services. Smile Solutions was built to address exactly that gap for the communities around Aberdeen.

We offer a full range of services under one roof, which means patients driving in from out of town can accomplish more in a single visit. From same-day CAD-CAM crowns and Invisalign to perio laser therapy, dental implants, and oral appliance therapy for sleep apnea, we are equipped to treat a wide range of needs without sending patients elsewhere for referrals. Dr. Scepaniak is a member of the American Sleep and Breathing Academy, and Dr. Ledeboer is a member of the American Academy of Clear Aligners, bringing focused expertise to two of our most sought-after services.

Communities We Serve

We regularly see patients from a broad area across northeastern South Dakota and into North Dakota. Whether your community has no dentist at all or simply does not offer the specialty care you need, our office in Aberdeen is accessible and ready to take on new patients from any of the following areas.

• Mobridge, SD: Patients from Mobridge make the roughly two-hour drive for sleep dentistry, cosmetic care, and comprehensive treatment they cannot find closer to home. Visit our dentist in Mobridge, SD page to learn more.
• Webster, SD: Webster residents have access to general care locally, but for Invisalign, oral appliance therapy, or same-day crowns, our office is a natural choice. Learn more on our dentist in Webster, SD page.
• Gettysburg, SD: Gettysburg sits about an hour from Aberdeen, and patients from Potter County regularly make that trip for cosmetic and restorative work. See our dentist in Gettysburg, SD page for details.
• Oakes, ND: Patients from Oakes and Dickey County cross the border for specialty services, sleep apnea treatment, and family dentistry at a practice that treats them with the same care as local patients. Visit our dentist near Oakes, ND page.
• Ellendale, ND: Ellendale is roughly 90 minutes from our office, and patients from Dickey County have been making that drive because Aberdeen offers the dental specialty access their area lacks. Our dentist near Ellendale, ND page covers everything you need to know before your first visit.

If your community is not listed here, that does not mean we cannot help. We see patients from throughout the region and are happy to work around scheduling needs for those traveling from farther away.

What to Expect When You Visit From Out of Town

We understand that driving 45 minutes to two hours for a dental appointment is a real commitment, and we do everything we can to make it worthwhile. For new patients traveling from a distance, we try to consolidate as much as possible into each visit, from a full exam and cleaning to any follow-up treatment planning, so you are not making multiple trips for routine steps. Our team is used to coordinating with out-of-area patients, and we will walk you through what to expect before you ever leave home.

Our office is located in Aberdeen at 416 Lamont Street S, and we see patients Monday through Thursday. We accept Delta Dental insurance and work with VA patients, and we offer CareCredit and Cherry financing for patients who want to spread out the cost of treatment. Same-day crowns through our CAD-CAM technology mean that many restorations can be completed in a single appointment, which is especially valuable for patients who have made a long drive to see us.
