Dr. Emily Conley
Cloquet's Choice for Gentle Care
Dr. Emily Conley has been creating beautiful, healthy smiles in the Northwoods for over 15 years. A graduate of the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry, she completed advanced training in cosmetic dentistry, CEREC same-day restorations, and oral surgery before returning to her hometown of Cloquet to open Wood City Dental.
Dr. Conley’s philosophy is simple: every patient deserves to feel genuinely heard, completely comfortable, and confident in their care. She takes time to listen, explain options in plain language, and ensure you leave every appointment with a smile — literally and figuratively.
When she’s not in the office, Dr. Conley is an active member of the Cloquet community, sponsoring youth sports teams and volunteering with local organizations. She lives here, shops here, and is proud to serve the neighbors she calls friends.
“"My goal isn't just to fix teeth — it's to build the kind of relationship where you trust me with your whole family's smile for life."”
