About Vadnais Heights Family Dentistry in Vadnais Heights, MN

We are a family-owned Dental Office providing comprehensive dental services for the past 35 years to our patients in the Northern and Eastern metro areas of Minneapolis and St Paul.

Our owners are Doctors Lynnette Eliason and James Andrea, who met in dental school, married, and opened their office shortly after graduation. Dr. Eliason had worked as a Dental Hygienist in Blaine while in school, and Dr. Andrea worked for a home builder throughout the Northern and Northeastern suburbs.

They have enjoyed watching their patients grow from small children into adults who have their own children. In some families, they have cared for five generations. They have also cared for families that have relocated to other countries yet continue to seek quality care in this country.

Dr. Eliason and Andrea love to travel. They have raised four children; two of whom work as Dental Hygienists at the clinic, and now have four grandchildren who they enjoy spending time with in their spare time.

Dr. Michael Determan joined our practice in 2015 upon graduation from the University of Minnesota. He enjoys sports, home improvement projects, and travel. He and his fiance have a puppy together.

Dr. Juliane Winters joined our team in 2023. Prior to joining Vadnais Heights Family Dentistry, Dr. Winters spent six years in public health, treating patients at a county hospital in Des Moines, Iowa and serving as an adjunct faculty for the University of Iowa College of Dentistry.

Dr. Winters enjoys treating all patients, from children to adults, and takes pride in providing quality, comprehensive oral health care to all. She strives to create a comfortable environment by educating patients on their oral health and explaining procedures in a way that fosters understanding. Dr. Winters stays up-to-date on the latest techniques and materials through continuing education courses and practices evidence-based dentistry. She will work with you to achieve your oral health goals and restore your healthy smile.

Dr. Winters prioritizes giving back to the community - throughout her career, she has served on her local Mission of Mercy planning committee and presented at the National Oral Health Conference. Outside the clinic, Dr. Winters enjoys spending time with her husband and two young boys, as well as their two four-legged companions. As a family, they enjoy camping, hiking, exploring National Parks, and gardening.
