- Teeth CleaningTooth cleaning is an essential dental hygiene that involves removing of dental plaque by scaling and planing the tooth. Dentists recommend having our teeth cleaned twice a year (every six months) for adequate oral hygiene. More frequent visits to the dentist may be advised for those with serious dental problems. Here are the 5 benefits…
- Fluoride TreatmentFor children, Dr. Serafimov will check if the teeth are healthy and growing in proper alignment. He may recommend fluoride treatment and dental sealants for added cavity protection. It is recommended that you bring your baby to the dentist once he or she turns one or as soon as the first tooth appears.
- Dental SealantsDr. Serafimov stresses the importance of preventive care and regular dental appointments to healthy teeth and gums. We offer professional teeth cleaning, gum analysis, bite evaluation, oral cancer screening, digital X-rays for safe and accurate diagnosis, and cavity prevention with dental sealants and fluoride treatments.
- FillingsTooth-colored fillings are also mercury-free. Some patients prefer white fillings to silver amalgam fillings because they are concerned about the possible harmful effects of mercury vapor on the body and the environment. Mercury can also stain your teeth and gums. Other patients have metal allergies, making silver amalgam fillings unsuitable.
- VeneersPorcelain veneers are thin shells of ceramic that are cemented to the front of the tooth. Veneers can change a tooth’s size, shape, and appearance, and can be used on multiple teeth. Veneers are recommended to correct problems like large chips and fractures, severe discoloration, spotted teeth, wide gaps, and other surface flaws.
- CrownsCrowns are tooth-colored coverings that encase the visible portion of the tooth. Dental crown procedure is often used to repair severely damaged teeth. If the tooth is too weak to support fillings, inlays, and onlays, crowns are the go-to restorations. Your dentist in St. Paul may recommend crowns to...
- BridgesI have been missing a tooth near the front of my mouth for several years and it is something that I am constantly aware of and extremely self-conscious about. With my wedding coming up I really wanted to so something about it. I went in for a consultation and we decided that a fixed bridge was the right option in my case. The procedure went really smooth and the result is amazing! I absolutely love my new smile-and just in time for my wedding too.
- Dental BondingVeneers are thin ceramic shells that are bonded to the tooth’s surface. Cosmetic bonding is a similar procedure that uses resin instead of ceramic to cover the front of the tooth. Both procedures are designed to hide flaws like teeth stains, gapped teeth, chips, fractures, and misshapen teeth. Porcelain is more durable and stain-resistant than resin, so it is used to correct major imperfections. Cosmetic bonding is non-invasive, more affordable, and ideal for small flaws.
- Restorative DentistryCrowns and bridges are common restorations used in dentistry. The goal of restorative dentistry, and thus the goal of your dentist near St Paul, is to replace missing or damaged teeth and improve your smile’s appearance. Restorations fill gaps left by missing teeth and prevent your remaining teeth from moving out of position. Replacing lost teeth also restores facial support and prevents the “sunken-in” appearance.
- Root Canal TreatmentInside each tooth is the dental pulp, a mass of tissues that contain blood vessels and nerves. This bundle is normally shielded from the elements by the dentin and enamel. However, when bacteria from a cavity penetrate the dentin and infect the pulp, swelling and irritation occurs because of root canal infection. The nerves are squeezed, so you feel excruciating root canal pain when you eat or drink. If untreated, an infection can spread to nearby teeth, sometimes even causing abscesses, cysts and tumors.
- Deep CleaningMost adults have some form of gum disease. It begins when plaque accumulates beneath and around the gum line. Bacteria irritate the soft tissues and cause swelling and bleeding, especially when you brush and floss. If not treated, the gums start to pull away from the teeth. Eventually, the teeth loosen and fall out. Dr. Serafimov offers non-surgical deep cleaning (root planing and scaling) to scrape away tartar above and below the gum line.
- DenturesDentures are appliances that replace missing teeth. Dentures have come a long way from the bulky, fake-looking devices of years past. Modern dentures from your Twin Cities dentist at Serafimov Dental Cosmetic and Family Dentistry are comfortable and incredibly lifelike. Our custom dentures can also be designed to create a more youthful appearance.

- Oral SurgeryYour dentist in St. Paul always aims to preserve your natural teeth. However, oral surgery or tooth extraction may be the only way to restore your mouth’s health in some cases. Extraction is recommended if root canal cannot save a decayed tooth. Extraction may also be required for impacted wisdom teeth, braces preparation and denture placement.
- Tooth ExtractionsGetting dentures requires more than one trip to the dentist at Serafimov Dental cosmetic dentistry. Dentures can be placed right after tooth extraction (immediate) or after the gums have healed (conventional). For conventional dentures, impressions of your mouth are taken and used as casts to serve as a model for the permanent denture. You will “try on” the denture to make sure it fits comfortably. Once ready, your dentures dentist will fit the appliance and make adjustments.
- BracesFor healthy teeth that could use a little makeover, porcelain veneers in Twin Cities are the perfect solution. Porcelain veneers are like false fingernails for your teeth. These thin ceramic shells are bonded to the tooth’s surface to hide everything from tobacco stains to bad chips and cracks. Veneer can transform the size, shape and appearance of each tooth, and create a more uniform smile. Veneers can also fix gaps between teeth without using braces.
