Woodbury Dental Arts - Claims Status

(As of April 27, 2026)

In November 2023, the Minnesota Board of Dentistry temporarily suspended the dental license of Marko Kamel, who owned and operated Woodbury Dental Arts, based on a probable-cause determination his continued practice would present an imminent risk of serious harm to patients. Following the suspension of his license, Kamel concealed his ineligibility to practice and continued to collect tens of thousands of dollars in upfront fees from patients for services Kamel and the clinic failed to provide.

In March 2024, days before the Board of Dentistry imposed final discipline against Kamel’s license, Woodbury Dental Arts closed without providing notice to patients, abandoning hundreds of patients and leaving many with unfinished treatment for dental implant services. Woodbury Dental Arts failed to refund patients, leaving many in debt and worse off than if they had they never sought treatment in the first place. Woodbury Dental Arts also filed for bankruptcy in March 2024, leaving patients without a path to recover the substantial fees they paid.

In November 2025, the Minnesota Attorney General’s Office reached a settlement with the Chapter 7 Trustee for the Bankruptcy Estate of Woodbury Dental Arts.  The settlement enables harmed consumers to obtain refunds of the fees they paid in advance for dental services that were never provided.  The Attorney General’s Office set up a claims process for consumers to claim refunds.
