Dr. Kyle Edlund graduated with honors from the University of Minnesota Dental School in 1987 and went on to complete a year-long residency in the University's Advanced General Dentistry Education Program. In 1989 he began his private practice in Woodbury, Minnesota, a growing community east of St. Paul. While establishing his practice, he served as a part time clinical instructor at the University of Minnesota. He also treated home bound and nursing home patients for Dental Home Care and served on their Board of Directors for seven years.
Dr. Edlund completed the United States Dental Institute's two-year Orthodontic program in 1992. Today he and his associate, Dr. Mike Pelke and a staff of eighteen dental professionals have a flourishing practice where they provide everything from basic dental care to complex cosmetic dentistry. Dr. Edlund's goal is to provide state-of-the-art dental care in an atmosphere that is relaxing and reassuring. An avid fisherman, his other passion is sports. He and Dr. Pelke are the official dentists for the Minnesota Wild hockey team, the St. Paul Saints baseball team and the Minnesota Swarm lacrosse Team.
