General Dentistry in St. Louis Park, MN
Your Partner in Lifelong Oral Health
General dentistry is the foundation of your oral care — it’s about more than just cleanings. At Creekside Dental, our approach combines proactive prevention, early detection, and patient education to help you maintain a healthy, confident smile at every stage of life.
Whether you're bringing in your child for their first checkup or you're managing long-term dental concerns, our team is here to provide experienced, attentive care backed by modern technology.

Preventive Care and Routine Maintenance
Preventive dentistry plays a critical role in avoiding costly, invasive treatments later on. At your routine visits, our team performs thorough evaluations to ensure your teeth, gums, and bite are all functioning as they should.
Our preventive services include:
- Dental Cleanings: Regular cleanings remove plaque and tartar that daily brushing can’t.
- Fluoride Treatment: Strengthens enamel to help prevent cavities, especially in younger patients or those with a high risk of decay.
- Dental Sealants: Applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth to prevent food and bacteria from settling in grooves.
If you’re enrolled in our Membership Plan, your preventive visits are fully covered — making it easier to stay on top of your oral health, even without insurance.

Personalized Family Dental Care
Our team sees patients of all ages and focuses on making every visit comfortable, informative, and judgment-free. We take the time to explain your oral health status and provide recommendations tailored to your needs.
Our general dentistry services include:
- Children’s Dentistry: Positive early experiences with the dentist help set the tone for a lifetime of good habits.
- Tooth-Colored Fillings: We use composite materials that blend naturally with your teeth and offer long-lasting results.
- Oral Cancer Screening: A fast, non-invasive part of your regular exam to check for early signs of disease.
- Sedation Dentistry: For patients with dental anxiety or special healthcare needs, helping you receive care in a calm, stress-free environment.

Advanced Diagnostics and Technology
Dental Technology is a major part of how we deliver high-quality care. At Creekside Dental, we’ve invested in advanced tools that improve precision, speed, and comfort — both during diagnosis and treatment.
- Digital X-Rays: Offer detailed imaging with significantly less radiation than traditional x-rays.
- Intra-Oral Cameras & Digital Impressions: Real-time visuals help you see exactly what we see.
- Laser Dentistry: Used in soft tissue procedures for greater comfort and faster healing times.
These tools are part of our commitment to making dentistry more transparent, efficient, and comfortable for every patient.

Emergency and Urgent Dental Care
Unexpected dental problems can be painful and stressful. We offer same-day appointments when possible and are equipped to handle a wide range of urgent needs, including:
- Emergency Exams: For severe pain, swelling, trauma, or broken restorations.
- Tooth Extractions: Simple and surgical extractions performed with care.
- Wisdom Teeth Removal: Evaluation and removal of third molars to prevent complications.
For urgent care needs, we always recommend calling the office directly at (952) 938-2740 to speak with our team.

Specialized Solutions for Complex Issues
Sometimes, oral health challenges go beyond routine care. Our general dentistry services also address more specialized conditions, such as:
- TMJ Disorders: We evaluate jaw alignment and provide treatment for chronic pain, clicking, or clenching.
- Sleep Apnea: Custom oral appliances offer an alternative to CPAP machines for qualifying patients.
- Mouthguards: We fabricate guards to protect your teeth from nighttime grinding or sports-related injuries.
We’ll work with you to build a custom treatment plan and, when needed, refer to trusted local specialists to ensure seamless care.
