Serenity Valley Family Dentistry Serving Barnesville, MN
It is common to feel that your smile is fine but could be better. Maybe a front tooth is chipped, whitening has stopped making a difference, or crooked teeth make you hesitate in photos. Cosmetic dentistry exists for moments like these, and the right plan can be simpler than you expect.
At Serenity Valley Family Dentistry in Fargo, cosmetic work is planned by dentists who also look after the health side of your mouth. Dr. Shandra Rosenfeldt, a University of Minnesota School of Dentistry graduate and Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry (FAGD), leads the practice, supported by associate dentist Dr. Ellyn Erickson.

Here are the main ways we can change the look of a smile. Each suits different concerns, and many patients combine two or more.
Invisalign and Nuvola both straighten teeth with a series of clear, removable trays. Because they come out for meals and brushing, daily life stays close to normal. During your consultation we can explain how the two systems differ and which fits your bite and timeline. Read more about Invisalign and clear aligners.
A veneer is a thin porcelain covering placed on the front of a tooth. It can hide chips, close small gaps, and cover stubborn discoloration, and a well-made one blends in with the teeth around it. We will tell you plainly whether porcelain veneers make sense or whether a simpler option would do the job.
With bonding, tooth-colored resin is applied and shaped right on your tooth to rebuild a chip or narrow a gap. It is a gentle option that is often finished in one appointment, which makes composite bonding a practical first step for smaller concerns.
If your teeth look short because gum tissue sits low or unevenly, the gumline may be the real concern. Gum contouring sculpts the tissue for a more balanced look, and healing is usually quick.
Our rule is simple: your mouth has to be healthy before it is made prettier. That means checking your gums, bite, and existing dental work first, and only then talking through cosmetic changes. You will hear what we recommend, why, and what we think you can skip. Learn more about us.
Cosmetic treatment is often not covered much by insurance, which is why we talk about cost before you commit. Our practice is fee-for-service, so we submit claims for you but are not in any insurance network. Ask about our membership plan and financing to see what could make treatment easier to budget.
Our team also looks at how your bite and jaw will affect a cosmetic result, an advantage of having sleep and TMJ care available under the same roof.
Your consultation is a conversation, not a sales pitch. Here is what it usually involves:
You are welcome to leave with your notes and decide when you are ready. For help preparing, see our patient information page.
