About Vadnais Heights Family Dentistry in Vadnais Heights, MN

Welcome to Our Family-Owned Dental Practice

For over 35 years, we have proudly served the Northern and Eastern metro areas of Minneapolis and St. Paul, providing comprehensive dental services to our valued patients. Founded by the passionate duo, Dr. Lynnette Eliason and Dr. James Andrea, our practice is rooted in a deep commitment to family and community.

Dr. Eliason and Dr. Andrea met in dental school, and shortly after graduation, they combined their dreams and talents to establish our practice. Dr. Eliason brought her experience as a Dental Hygienist, while Dr. Andrea contributed his background in home building throughout the Northern and Northeastern suburbs. Together, they have created a warm, welcoming environment where patients of all ages can receive top-notch dental care.

In 2015, we welcomed Dr. Michael Determan to our team upon his graduation from the University of Minnesota. Dr. Determan shares our dedication to quality care and enjoys sports, home improvement projects, and travel. He and his fiancée are proud puppy parents, adding to the family atmosphere we cherish.

Most recently, in 2023, we were excited to welcome Dr. Juliane Winters to our practice. Before joining us, Dr. Winters spent six years in public health, treating patients at a county hospital in Des Moines, Iowa, and serving as an adjunct faculty member for the University of Iowa College of Dentistry. She is committed to providing quality, comprehensive oral health care to all patients, from children to adults. Dr. Winters strives to create a comfortable environment by educating her patients and explaining procedures in a way that fosters understanding. Staying up-to-date on the latest techniques through continuing education, she practices evidence-based dentistry and collaborates with patients to achieve their oral health goals.

Throughout her career, Dr. Winters has prioritized giving back to the community, serving on her local Mission of Mercy planning committee and presenting at the National Oral Health Conference. Outside of the clinic, she enjoys spending time with her husband and two young boys, along with their two four-legged companions. As a family, they love camping, hiking, exploring National Parks, and gardening.

Throughout the years, we have had the joy of watching our patients grow—from small children to adults who now bring their own families for care. In some families, we’ve had the privilege of caring for five generations. We are honored to serve patients who have relocated around the globe but continue to seek our quality care.

At our practice, we are not just dentists; we are your partners in health, dedicated to making every visit a positive experience. Thank you for trusting us with your dental care!
