- Dental ExaminationShow the world a bright and healthy smile when you visit our office for your dental services. If you are looking for dental exams or cleanings in Eagan, Minnesota, Bjerke Dental Family Dentistry is the answer you need. Under the leadership of Dr. Scott L. Bjerke, D.D.S., our staff provides a full range of services for patients of any age. From X-rays to fillings, we are proud to be your source for quality care.
- X-raysA key part of your regular checkup involves sitting for X-rays. By taking these pictures, we’ll be able to see hidden problems before you even know you have them. From cavities to bone loss, digital X-rays unveil a host of issues. Once we uncover these problems, we are able to offer a clear treatment plan.
- Teeth CleaningWhile we have been raised to believe that brushing and flossing is enough to keep your teeth healthy, there is so much more that needs to be done. For the best results for your oral health, we recommend scheduling an annual exam with us. This checkup allows us to cover every part of your mouth. We perform X-rays, dental cleanings, and other services to keep your teeth looking and feeling great.
- Fillings
- VeneersOver time, you may notice chips and cracks develop in your teeth. These issues can be caused by anything from chewing a hard piece of candy to receiving a blow to the face. For a minor repair like this, you may be the perfect candidate for veneers.
- CrownsTypically, this is just a part of aging. After a lifetime of chewing, it’s normal for your surface enamel to become worn. This allows the darker color of the underlying dentin to shine through or become exposed to the surface. Central pulp tissue them becomes calcified, and the surrounding dentinal tissue becomes sclerotic, which results in darker and opaque teeth. Recession of the gum also exposes the root surfaces, which are darker than the crowns of the teeth. These are the natural causes of darkening. Of course, some people become less motivated to clean their teeth, or may become physically incapacitated. This can cause their oral hygiene to suffer, allowing the accumulation of extrinsic staining.
- Bridges
- Root Canal TreatmentPlease call and schedule an evaluation to determine if a root canal is for you. Not all teeth that need this procedure will cause pain. If you have any of the following symptoms, you may need a root canal...
- DenturesWhether you lost a tooth due to an accident or extraction, you don’t have to worry about a gap affecting your smile. One of the most popular solutions is a fixed partial denture, also called a bridge. Bridges are made from gold, alloy, porcelain, or a combination of these three materials. After anchoring your bridge to surrounding teeth, we apply a false tooth and cement it into place.
- Dental ImplantsWith dental implants, you receive a substitute for your tooth root. This implant is surgically anchored into place at your jawbone. Due to the complex nature related to this procedure, you must have the right bone level and density, and you must not be prone to infection. Please note that following proper oral hygiene is essential to the success of this procedure.
- Oral SurgeryAt Bjerke Dental Family Dentistry, we offer oral surgery to treat any cause of your discomfort. For the right solution to your issue, turn to Dr. Scott L. Bjerke, D.D.S. and his team of professionals. Together, we specialize in a number of procedures to help you look great and feel healthy again.
- Tooth Extractions
- BracesQ: Should a cavity be filled in an 11-year-old boy’s baby tooth? The particular tooth in question is the baby tooth in one of the top eye-teeth spaces. The Orthodontist says fill it because it’s holding the space for the eye-tooth (…braces just came off and the teeth are now straight); however, the Dentist says pull it so that the eye-tooth can drop down quicker.
