Dr. Orvis Johnson, DDSAs an imported Norwegian from Minnesota, Dr. Johnson admits most ethnic groups are sensitized, leaving only dentists and Norwegians (i.e. Ole and Lena) to be the butt of jokes. He even has an album and wall of jokes patients have brought to him. "If you can't laugh at yourself, who can you laugh at?" His undergraduate was Concordia College, Moorhead, Minnesota which was followed by the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry. Dr. Johnson's early education at Concordia College was centered around becoming a Lutheran Minister. The Vietnam War changed those plans, which eventually led to his graduation from the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry. He quips, "I yet preach, but today rather from the pulpit, it's chairside--preaching about brushing and flossing". I challenge you to read my chapter on Disease and Disease Control. Dr. Johnson has a passion for dentistry, yet finds time to train dogs, hunt, fish, trap, wildflower garden, and even chase the little white ball on a golf course. As an amateur photographer, Dr. Orvis is never without a camera to "record the moment", which his buddies admit is sometimes not always a good thing. Dr. Orvis' two adult children are now blessed with their own children, Parker and Liam. "Which I guess makes me a grandpa". Dr. Johnson's son, Justin (Sarah Kirchoff), lives in Fond du Lac, and he manages Corporate Enterprise Truck Division. Daughter, Dr. Annika (John) Simon follows in her dad's footsteps, practicing dentistry in St. Paul. (Gee, I wonder who Dr. Orvis has for a dentist?) "My plan is to live forever, and so far everything is going great" is but one of Dr. J's philosophical quips. (If you want more quips, just ask him.) The future of dentistry is bright. Yearly, new techniques, new materials and new equipment allow me to "look good", do my best, and it creates an environment whereby I can empower our patients to be the best-they-can-be: healthy, disease free, with no costly investment due to neglect. For each patient, my long range goals is for them to keep their teeth AT LEAST until they are 85 years old. "We welcome new patients". |

“I have a long lasting relationship with my dentist, Dr. Orvis Johnson. He has taken care of my dental health since I was in my 20's and continues to do so with the utmost of care and kindness. My three children are patients of Dr. Johnson as well, and I highly recommend him to anyone who asks about who to go to for their dental needs.
Dr. Orvis Johnson maintains his high standards each and every day and extends his vast knowledge of dental health to all of his patients. He continues to expand his own knowledge on a daily basis, keeping up to date with new technologies and techniques.
I recommend with great confidence, Dr. Orvis Johnson and his highly trained staff. They provide the best care anywhere and are available anytime to answer questions, provide guidance, and assist in helping you maintain your dental health.”-Susan Fiebig
“Dr. Johnson's primary focus is prevention. We have been his patients for close to 30 years, and all during that time he has stressed processes and procedures that keep our teeth and gums healthy.
He and his highly professional staff always treat us with respect, and work to ensure that we receive the best care possible.”-Howard and Sherry Freiberg
“We have been patients of Dr. Johnson for less than a year, and though we are closer to age 80 than 70, he has already been successful in educating us, and instilling NEW habits for us regarding our dental care.”
-Ralph and Patricia Rosenthal
“My name is Mary Showers. I am 82 years old and I have been a patient of Dr. Orvis Johnson for 14 years. I have seen dentists all my life, but Dr. Johnson seems to be the one who is able to keep my 82 year old teeth strong, clean, and healthy. I have all my own teeth-no dentures or false teeth. He is always so patient, kind, reassuring, gentle and knowledgeable. He keeps me smiling!”
-Mary Showers
“I started with Dr. Johnson 30 years ago. I hated the thought of going to the dentist before that, he saved me from false teeth. Best dentist ever!”
-Barb
“Dr. Johnson and his staff are extremely knowledgeable in their profession. Dr. Johnson not only "shows" you what your "bad habits" are doing, but educates you to reform those habits into "new" and "productive" habits.”
