Preventive Dentistry

Prevention is the foundation of everything we do. We provide dental exams and cleanings, fluoride treatments, dental sealants, and custom mouthguards to help our patients stay ahead of problems before they develop. Bringing children in early builds habits that protect their smiles for life, and keeping up with adult care helps catch issues before they become costly.

Cosmetic Dentistry

If you have been thinking about improving your smile, we offer Invisalign and clear aligners, porcelain veneers, composite bonding, and gum contouring. Our cosmetic treatments are tailored to your goals and your budget, and we take time to walk through your options so you feel confident in whatever direction you choose.

Restorative Dentistry

When teeth need more than maintenance, our restorative services are here to help. We treat damaged and missing teeth with crowns, bridges, fillings, dentures, and gum disease treatment. Our focus is always on the most conservative solution that protects your oral health over time.

Specialty Services

This is where Serenity Valley stands apart from most dental practices in the region. Dr. Rosenfeldt holds Diplomate status with the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine (AADSM), one of the most advanced credentials available in dental sleep medicine. She dedicates the majority of her clinical days to sleep apnea treatment, TMJ and TMD therapy, laser snore therapy, and tongue-tie and frenectomy care. These are specialty services that most general dental offices simply do not offer, and patients regularly travel significant distances to access them here.

Meet the Providers Behind Your Care

Dr. Shandra Rosenfeldt founded Serenity Valley Family Dentistry in 2006 and has built it into a practice known for its holistic, airway-focused philosophy. Her sister, Dr. Erickson serves as an associate dentist, extending the practice’s capacity to see more patients and offer more general dentistry appointments. Together, their team brings warmth, clinical depth, and a genuine commitment to connecting with each person who walks through the door. You will not feel like a number here.

4
Review Your Options
Dr. Rosenfeldt walks you through every option with pros, cons, and timing — no pressure, ever.
When you arrive, our team takes time to understand your concerns, your history, and what you are hoping to get out of your care. New patients go through a comprehensive exam that includes X-rays and photos of the full mouth, and in many cases, facial and bite assessments as well. This broader view helps us identify not just immediate dental concerns, but also any airway, TMJ, or wear patterns that could affect your health down the road.

Here is what a first visit typically includes:

  • Comprehensive exam: A full review of teeth, gums, bite, and oral tissues
  • Digital X-rays and photos: Captured for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning
  • Doctor consultation: A conversation about your findings, your goals, and your options
  • Insurance and financing review: Our team walks through your coverage and any financial arrangements before treatment begins
  • Personalized care plan: Built around your health needs, not a preset checklist

Every step of the process is designed to give you clarity and confidence. We want you to leave your first appointment knowing exactly where your oral health stands and what your next steps are, with no surprises. You can find additional information about what to expect by reviewing our patient information page.
