A group of Stillwater dentists looking to make a lasting impression on your smile.

Dr. Rosalie Perpich

Offering comfort throughout your visit.

“My job is to give you my professional opinion and enough information for you to make a comfortable decision. A decision that works for you, your goals, and your family.”


Dr. Perpich spent six years in the Minnesota National Guard as a medic before becoming a dentist and opening her practice in 2002. Today, she enjoys working with older adults in her satellite office at Boutwells Landing. Dr. Perpich continues her pursuit for excellence in dentistry through ongoing training to bring you faster, better, and more effective solutions.

Putting you at ease while listening to your concerns.

“I like to find common interests with people and find that listening to patient concerns and past experiences helps provide a safe place. Making people smile goes a long way toward building trust, and we smile a lot here!”


Dr. Carlson traveled with her parents on short mission trips to Africa, where she shadowed the dentist and discovered her calling. Today, she loves working with children and anxious patients to create positive dental experiences from a young age. Dr. Carlson goes above and beyond to put patients at ease, listen to their concerns, and develop treatment into the best care options.
