Serenity Valley Family Dentistry Near Barnesville, MN
Barnesville is a close-knit Clay County community known for events like Potato Days and for neighbors who look out for one another. Families here have dental options close to home, and many still choose to make the trip into Fargo for something a little different. Serenity Valley Family Dentistry has served the Fargo-Moorhead region for over 20 years, and Barnesville patients are a welcome part of our practice.
What draws people is the combination of gentle, unhurried family dentistry and services that most general offices do not offer, including sleep apnea treatment, TMJ therapy, laser dentistry, and tongue-tie care. To see every community we serve, visit our areas we serve page, which includes nearby Moorhead and Dilworth. You can also read about cosmetic dentistry for Barnesville patients. The CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics publishes national dental visit data, if you are curious how often Americans see the dentist.
From a toddler’s first checkup to a grandparent’s denture questions, our Fargo practice cares for the whole household. Here is a quick look at what we offer.
Most dental problems are simpler to treat when they are caught early, which is why regular dental exams and cleanings sit at the center of our care. We also offer fluoride treatments, dental sealants, and custom mouthguards for athletes. Children and adults can see the dentist at the same office through our family dentistry services, and you can browse every option under preventive dentistry.
Thinking about changing something about your smile? We can walk you through Invisalign and Nuvola clear aligners, porcelain veneers, composite bonding, gum contouring, and professional whitening, then help you choose based on what you want and what fits your budget. Visit our Barnesville cosmetic dentistry page to learn more.
A cracked filling, a worn-down tooth, or a gap where a tooth used to be can be addressed with crowns, bridges, fillings, or dentures. We also treat gum disease and perform tooth extractions when a tooth cannot be saved. Our approach favors the least invasive fix that will last. Not sure whether a problem is urgent? Our emergency dentistry page can help you decide.
Several of our services are hard to find at a typical general dental office. Sleep apnea treatment with custom oral appliances is led by Dr. Rosenfeldt, a Diplomate of the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine (AADSM). We also provide TMJ and TMD therapy, laser snore therapy, and tongue-tie and frenectomy care for patients from infancy through adulthood. Barnesville patients are welcome to schedule any of them.
Barnesville has dental offices of its own, so patients who come to Fargo are typically after something particular, whether that is a longer conversation with the dentist, a quieter and gentler visit, or a treatment their local office does not provide. Appointments here are unhurried, options are explained before anything is recommended, and nobody is pressured into care. Learn about our practice, which has served the area since 2006.
Our office is fee-for-service. We submit claims to your insurance for you, but we are not part of any insurance network, and that freedom lets us recommend treatment based on your health rather than a plan’s rules. To make costs easier to plan, ask about our membership plan and financing, or read how insurance works here.
Dr. Shandra Rosenfeldt opened Serenity Valley Family Dentistry in 2006 after graduating from the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry. She has earned a Fellowship with the Academy of General Dentistry (FAGD) as well as Diplomate status with the AADSM. Dr. Ellyn Erickson practices alongside her as an associate dentist, which allows the office to offer more general dentistry appointments.

We look at the whole picture on purpose. Beyond cavities and gum health, we check for bite problems, jaw strain, and airway concerns, because those issues can shape your health long after you leave the chair.
