Pediatric Dentistry in Saint Paul, MN

Your Child Deserves a Healthy, Strong Smile

At MCMID We Provide the Dental Care They Need To Succeed!

Comprehensive pediatric dental care can set your child up for a lifetime of optimal oral health. Our family dentists understand that our younger patients have unique needs and concerns in the dentist’s chair. We are committed to providing stress-free, compassionate, and effective pediatric dental care.

As a biological practice, we treat dental problems holistically and with minimally invasive treatments. When providing pediatric dental care, we:

• Retain as much of your child’s natural and healthy tooth structure as possible
• Use gentle and comfortable treatments
• Emphasize the importance of daily at-home dental care
• Create a long-term dental and orthodontic plan for pediatric patients
• Teach young patients how all of the components of their smiles work together and affect whole body health

One important tool in our pediatric dentistry toolbox is laser dentistry. We use laser treatment to treat periodontal disease, prepare teeth for fillings and root canals, and to improve aesthetics. Because lasers are quiet and comfortable, they are ideal for young patients who may feel nervous in the dentist’s chair. We also utilize state-of-the-art Ozone Therapy to sterilize teeth, and low-radiation digital X-rays to keep your kiddos safe.

Crowns, veneers, and a bridge

It’s hard to believe that something so small could change my life in such a big way. I have been pain free with out drugs or surgery for years now. My teeth have been saved from more damage because I don’t grind them any more.

Veneers and crowns

This patient presented with 12 year old composite veneers. He disliked both the color and lack of vitality of his veneers. He had worn the veneers thin, so we replaced them with newer veneers and some crowns.

Very opaque crowns and extremely dark roots under the crowns from previous root canal therapies brought this patient to our office. We replaced the 3 front crowns and lightened the roots of the teeth with whitening. Not all of the darkness is gone but we achieved a noticeable improvement.

Full mouth treatment plan

This patient presented with rampant decay on the lower jaw and worn veneers on the upper jaw along with many fractured back teeth. She also didn’t like the shortness of her teeth and closed smile. A full mouth treatment plan including crowns, veneers, and a number of root canals and tooth build-ups created a very harmonious smile.

A fall brought this patient to our office to fix fractured crowns. We restored the 2 front teeth with long-term provisional crowns in a single appointment so she could heal and enjoy her smile again until we treated a number of other teeth that were in need of restorations. We then converted her crowns to Porcelain again.

Veneers that were recently bonded by her previous dentist kept popping off, so this patient requested that we redo all 6 front teeth to get more solid teeth. We also did a smile lift by removing some excess gum tissue and rounding the corners of the teeth to achieve a nicer, more feminine smile.

This patient presented with chief concerns of short teeth and a gummy smile, so we placed 6 veneers after lifting the gums back to expose more root. This created a more harmonious smile.
