OUTSTANDING, PERSONALIZED DENTAL CARE Near You

We love what we do, and that’s improving your smile! For trusted general dentistry in Edina, MN, our team is here to support your oral health at every stage.

Comprehensive Exams

We work hard to create a comfortable and stress-free experience for you and your family. We will do what it takes to help every patient understand his or her symptoms and treatment options in a relaxed office setting in Edina.

Your general dental visit will begin with a thorough dental examination, which may include a full mouth X-ray. Dr. Marwa will examine the health of your teeth and underlying jaw structure to ensure everything looks in order. During the dental examination, a Mint Dental hygienist will examine each tooth for cavities, plaque, and other damage using a small pick and mirror.

Professional Dental Cleanings

The second part of your dental visit will consist of a complete dental cleaning conducted by one of our professional dental hygienists. Even the most thorough hygiene-dedicated patients, who brush and floss regularly, will not always achieve the same results as a deep cleaning from one of our dental hygienists.

We recommend adults brush their teeth three times per day and floss once daily. However, the reality is that the average person brushes twice per day and rarely flosses. Therefore, attending your bi-annual visit is very important to your dental health.

Dr. Marwa and her team of professional dental hygienists are committed to providing our guests with outstanding and personalized oral health care tailored to your unique dental needs.

Preventative Dental Care

Preventative dental care begins with the cooperative effort between patient and dentist to prevent the development, progression, and recurrence of dental diseases and conditions.

Preventive dental care is the best defense for some of the most common dental problems. However, even with the most thorough dental hygiene regimen, some dental issues cannot be avoided. During your routine dental examination, your dentist or hygienist may recommend fluoride treatments and X-rays to stay on top of your oral health.

Frequently Asked Questions About General Dentistry

General dentistry covers the routine and preventive care that keeps your teeth and gums healthy for life, comprehensive exams, professional cleanings, digital X-rays, oral cancer screenings, dental fillings, root canal treatment, and TMJ therapy. It also includes patient education on brushing, flossing, and diet. At Mint Dental in Edina, MN, general dentistry serves as the foundation for every other treatment we provide.

The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends a dental exam and professional cleaning every six months for most adults. Patients with a history of gum disease, diabetes, or a high cavity risk may need visits every three to four months. If it has been more than a year since your last visit, our team is accepting new patients and can walk you through a comfortable catch-up appointment.

The cost of a routine cleaning and exam depends on what’s included, bitewing X-rays, fluoride treatment, and the type of cleaning (standard prophylaxis versus a deeper cleaning) all affect the final fee. With most dental PPO plans, preventive visits are typically covered at or near 100%. For patients without insurance, Mint Dental offers straightforward pricing and flexible payment options, contact our Edina office for a personalized estimate before your visit.

Yes, modern digital dental X-rays are considered very safe. A single bitewing X-ray delivers about 0.005 mSv of radiation, which is roughly equivalent to one day of natural background radiation you’d receive just going about daily life (ADA / FDA data). Digital sensors used at Mint Dental cut radiation exposure by up to 80% compared with traditional film. We only take X-rays when clinically necessary, following ADA and FDA guidelines.

General dentistry focuses on the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of oral health issues for a specific age group, usually adults. Family dentistry offers the same core services but treats patients of all ages under one roof, from toddlers through grandparents. Mint Dental provides both, so parents and children can be seen in the same visit at our Edina office.

Certain symptoms may indicate a problem that shouldn’t wait for a routine checkup, including persistent tooth pain, swollen or bleeding gums, sensitivity to hot or cold that lasts more than a few days, a chipped or loose tooth, a sore that won’t heal, or a bad taste that won’t go away. These can be early signs of decay, infection, or gum disease. If you’re experiencing any of these, schedule a visit with our Edina team as soon as possible.

Most dental PPO plans cover preventive care, cleanings, exams, and routine X-rays, at the highest tier, and basic services like dental fillings at a reduced share after your deductible. Coverage varies by plan and carrier. Mint Dental is in-network with several major insurance providers and offers flexible payment options for patients without coverage. Call our office and we’ll verify your benefits before your appointment.
