Dental Examination
We provide excellent preventive care, including exams, cleanings, and digital x-rays. Early detection of dental problems is essential to gain optimal oral health. The American Dental Association recommends that you follow a schedule of twice-yearly cleanings and exams.
X-rays
Oral Cancer Screening
Regular screenings can help ensure the detection of any potential cancers. Drs. Laura Collier and Amy Stark Â recommend having an oral cancer screening at least once a year. During your screening, they will examine your mouth, throat, lips, gums, and tongue to check for any abnormalities. Let us know about any unusual symptoms you have experienced, including...

Teeth Cleaning
In addition to professional dental cleanings, good dental hygiene comes from habits at home. Drs. Laura Collier and Amy Stark recommend that you brush your teeth at least twice a day and floss once a day. This helps prevent tooth decay, periodontal disease, and other oral health issues.
Fluoride Treatment
We offer fluoride treatments to help you prevent tooth decay. At Excelsior Family Dental, we offer fluoride treatments to patients of all ages to help safeguard the development of primary and permanent teeth.
Dental Sealants
Sealants are an effective way of preventing tooth decay and cavities on your molars. Cavities are frequent on molars due to the natural grooves in the teeth. People of all ages can benefit from sealants. It can protect permanent molars in children to help them develop in a healthy manner, and adults can benefit from them in their day-to-day life.

Resin Composite
Bonding is an ideal option if you need a solution that is both cosmetic and restorative. Bonding entails placing composite resin material on the surface of a damaged tooth and hardening it with ultraviolet light to restore both form and function to the tooth. Since the resin is enamel-colored and moldable before hardening, our dentist in Excelsior will ensure it looks natural.
Veneers
If youâ€™re looking for a custom cosmetic dental solution made just for your needs, porcelain veneers may be the right option for you. Veneers are thin, durable shells that are custom made from molds of your teeth that are the same color as tooth enamel. The shells are then bonded onto the front of your tooth for a natural look and fit that immediately improves your smile.
Crowns
Over time, teeth begin to weaken. This leaves them more susceptible to problems such as decay, cracks or discoloration. A dental crown can renew the appearance and function of a tooth.
Bridges
A dental bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth. With this type of restoration, one or more neighboring teeth may be crowned and used to anchor the replacement.
Restorative Dentistry
Restorative dentistry restores the strength and beauty of your smile. Whenever possible, we will preserve your natural teeth. When needed, we can also provide tooth replacement options that are both functional and beautiful.

Root Canal Treatment
Also, dental crowns are often used in conjunction with root canal therapy, dental implants or as an anchor for a bridge.

Deep Cleaning
The most common treatment for gum disease is called deep cleaning, scaling, or root planing. Scaling and root planing involve removing plaque and tartar from below the gumline. Our hygienist can perform this gentle and effective removal of tartar, calculus, and infected tissue.

Dentures
Dental implants may be paired with replacement crowns for full tooth replacement. They may also be used to anchor dentures. Drs. Laura Collier and Amy Stark will recommend your teeth replacement plan based on your individual needs and preferences.

Dental Implants
Dental implants are a safe, durable replacement for missing teeth. Dental implants function and appear like natural teeth. Excelsior Family Dental is committed to ensuring your optimal comfort and quality care. We use the latest techniques to ensure efficient, stress-free treatment.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery

Orthodontics
A diastema is a large gap between teeth. A diastema can result from an unusually thick or tight frenum that attaches close to the teeth. Frenectomy, combined with orthodontics, can correct this problem.
Invisalign Orthodontics
InvisalignÂ® is a set of clear removable aligners that are worn over the teeth. These aligners can be removed to allow you to eat, brush, and floss normally. InvisalignÂ® is a non-invasive, aesthetic solution for straightening teeth that is comfortable and easy to use. If your teeth are crowded, gapped, or misaligned, InvisalignÂ® can give you a healthier, more beautiful smile.
Braces
Most comprehensive orthodontic treatment will involve the use of braces or aligners. In either case, both appliances cause minor movements of your teeth to correct misalignment. This ensures both a straight smile and an even bite.

Teeth Whitening
If your teeth have become stained, dull, or discolored over time, teeth whitening may be a good option for you. One of the first things people notice about you is your smile, and you always want to make a good first impression.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Dr. Collier understands the apprehension that some children and adults have and is able to help them relax and have fun in the process. Her patients love her gentle, compassionate manner and are always made to feel comfortable and appreciated. She studied Biology at St. Olaf College and graduated from the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry in 2002. She also completed a Postgraduate Program in Cosmetic Dentistry at the University of Minnesota in 2008. She is a member of the Minnesota Dental Association, Minneapolis District Dental Society, American Dental Association, the Twin Cities Periodontics Study Club, and the Spear Study Club. She enjoys spending time with her husband, two children, and two dogs, along with running, and quiet time reading.
General Dentistry
We recommend scheduling your periodontal maintenance visits and your general dentistry visits on an alternating schedule. This ensures you are receiving the proper care and treatments for your oral health needs in a timely, consistent manner.
