Advanced Services

I became a dentist because it checks off the boxes for me: Being a dentist allows me to showcase excellence in my work; provide compassion, empathy and kindness in my relationships with patients; and build trust with them.  It’s a privilege to get the opportunity to meet people from all walks of life and to keep them smiling.  It’s a great honor that I take very seriously.

Outside of work, I’m a professional artist that works in oil, acrylic, ink and woodcut.  I enjoy large scale murals, landscapes and portraiture.  Watch out or I might paint your dog for you!  I am also a competitive swimmer and like outdoor adventures.  I ride a Triumph Scrambler motorcycle all summer and am lucky to be at Grand Avenue in Saint Paul because I enjoy eating, too much.  I have a daughter in college, a son who is a senior and the youngest boy is a sophomore at Stillwater High. 

The dental care you deserve is waiting for you at a nearby Park Dental.

I've lived all over the world and save one specialist, Christopher Browning is the best dentist I've been to. I recently moved from San Francisco and am not acclimating to MN.On top of that, I've never been to the type of dentist office you have,only to private practices and it felt frightening trying your offices.Dr. Browning gave me novocaine and I never felt the injection. The dose he used was perfect and wore off quickly. He is skilled, talented and on top of that, intelligent, personable, fast without sacrificing quality of care and plain adorable!! It was a wonderfully shocking experience.

I have made several recommendations to others concerning not only the dentist, but the prices for services.. He has taken care of my teeth, implants, for longer than twelve years. All experiences are great. I have not had any tooth pain for over twelve years. I would never go to a different dentist for implants or other related services. I trust him 100%.

Are doctors young rest, extremely compassionate, and went to her extraordinary effort to change schedules to provide for their creation and installation of my new crown. Dr. Browning was fantastic!

Dr. Browning is always so positive, whether it's directed to the patient, the assistant or himself - he's funny that way and that's just fine as I always have tensions when visiting the dentist. He's already apologized for all the past dentists who have not been anywhere near as nice.

I just didn't feel like he spent enough time with me and especially since I was a first time patient with him. He barely glanced at my teeth and I felt like he could've missed something. He didn't even introduce himself and it kind of disturb me that he thought I was returning patient. Don't they get familiar with their patient before they come in to see them?

The dentist didn't seem to spend time with me because I didn't have any major issues. Wanted to leave right away without without getting my questions answered. I had to stop him as he was leaving in order to get my second question answered. Seemed more concerned about getting to the next patient rather than focusing on me.

My experience at Park Dental was great. I thought the dental expertise was excellent as was Dr. Christopher Browning performing and practicing them.We got to talk about dental options and best dental procedure that could be applied to my particular needs. I have a more bio-technical background then maybe the average dental patient and interest in procedure and general equipment used at Park Dental and Dr. Christopher Browning was very good to answer some of my questions and enlighten me. Dr. Browning demonstrated an excellent knowledge of dentistry and years of experience; I know I was in good hands.I also found Dr. Christopher Browning to have a wonderful sense of humor in our post conversation and great interest in the future, development and study of dentistry that signifies a good doctor and dentist at work that I greatly appreciate.I further enjoyed the doctors and technicians working as a team communicating, sharing and supporting the best dental procedure and outcome for the patient. Education and teamwork are the best means to success in any endeavor; both employees and patients benefit from that and it was nice to see both at work at Park Dental.Thank You Park Dental

The dentist told me I had mild gingivitis then said "I need to tell you something's wrong, otherwise you'll think I didn't do anything" a couple times. He did not instill confidence. He may have been trying to be funny, but came across as arrogant and flippant, and lacking any actual concern for my well being. I will not see him again.

I have been a Park Dental patient for about 10 years. This was my first visit with Dr. Browning. The location is no longer convenient for me so I was honestly thinking about changing dental offices. Especially since previous visits had been fine' but not really exceptional. Dr. Browning brings really good energy. I had a problem with a recent filling and he answered all of my questions. He was extremely personable and outgoing which I appreciated. The combination of hygienist and dentist at this visit was the best I've seen since being a patient at park dental.

I was planning to have my dentist do the next steps with my implant, because I have known him for years and felt more comfortable. After my first visit with Dr. Browning I have decided I feel comfortable letting him compete the rest of the procedure.

It would be helpful during the long implant process if someone would tell me what to expect at the next appointment. For example, I arrived one day and had no idea they were putting in the abutment - I thought it would be a brief gum check as usual. That procedure is painful and I had no warning.
