Dr. Ross Olness

Dr. Olness’ father and mother were a mechanic and a teacher, so he learned by example and grew up with a passion for helping others and working with his hands. He knew he wanted to find a profession that would meld these two traits, and dentistry seemed to be a perfect fit. 

After earning his DDS from the University of Minnesota in 2007, Dr. Olness began practicing in Willmar in 2007. He finds it gratifying to help people achieve and maintain oral health, and he strives to ensure every patient feels comfortable in our office. Dr. Olness believes optimal dental wellness starts with patient-centered care. That is why he takes the time to make sure each patient understands their treatment and individual oral care needs. 

When he’s not in the office, Dr. Olness loves getting outdoors with his wife and three daughters. He loves camping, skiing, canoeing, biking, boating, and fishing with his family. Dr. Olness is a member of the following organizations:

  • American Dental Association
  • Minnesota Dental Association
  • West Central Dental Society
  • American Academy of General Dentistry
  • Minnesota Academy of General Dentistry
