“My name is Doctor Tim Clavin, my office is located Downtown Minneapolis in the medical arts building in the Nicollet Mall. I think dentistry has evolved, we were trained to tell our patients what they need and the patients would come to see us they have a wealth of knowledge available to them and they really tell us what they want. The kind of cosmetic dental procedures we perform is bemiring of teeth, cosmetic crowns, crowns that no longer have the metal substrate underneath them. We do a lot of things even with cosmetic dentures. We can provide teeth that are beautiful prosthetics or bemiring of teeth or simply brightening their smiles.
For me I view many of the patients as my friends, I mean, when they come in and I haven’t seen them for six months, four months or whatever, they are, I feel a friendship with them and I think patients can tell that.
People like to come to our office because we are small. We treat one person at a time and we listen to people, they tell us what they want and we help them. I the benefit of only seeing one person at time in my office is that patient actually gets time with the dentist. I know how thinks are in this world, the pressure on businesses and health care centers and in my office you actually get time with me and many patients love that.”

Some Pictures from my Family and Office

“Dental Photography, photography is very important.. I use it for many reasons, the primary reason is for patient education.” Dr. Tim Clavin
“I felt very comfortable with the Dental Photography he’s does a great job, he’s taken pictures of a variety of different areas of my mouth for different reasons, and issues he’s had to address.” Lenaya Peterson
“A second reason is quite obviously for documentation and submitting it to their third party insurances. By doing so we actually get a better return for the patient themselves using this. It’s been very helpful in todays climate, and its a service thats not always offered in other clinics.” Dr. Tim Clavin
“He let me know that whatever you need, we will make you comfortable and he did.” Lenaya Peterson
“I like it when patients see their teeth and take an interest in it. We start talking about it, and they value the dentistry we deliver here.” Dr. Tim Clavin

“I’ve been coming to Dr. Clavin for 7 years now. Dr. Clavin has done all variety of dental work for me he has done crowns, he has done cleanings, he has dealt with cavities, fillings. He is a very good dentist because of his manner. He’s kinda soft-spoken and he is very considerately caring about what he does, he takes his time he stops, he talks, he checks in to make sure that you’re doing ok and the work is what you want to do. What I like about him is the personal touch that he adds to the professional dentistry that he gives. Every-time he’s does something he makes sure that I’m feeling well with it, that its not painful, it makes me much more comfortable being here with him than somebody who you just pop in and they pull out or tooth or do something and kick you out the door. He’s got a very good kinda bedside manner for doing the work and making sure its equitable and working well. ” -Jonathan

“My name is Lenaya Peterson. I’ve been coming to Dr. Clavin for about a year now. Dr. Clavins done general teeth cleaning for me, accessed some problems I was having some pain in certain areas of my mouth and so Dr. Clavin helped fix those problems and directed me to some areas that I needed to get some services done also so that was helpful. Dr. Clavin’s staff they’re very friendly and I know he goes to conferences so he keeps up to date with what’s going on in the industry and as far as update technology. I felt very comfortable that he was on the cutting edge of what was going on in the industry. We attend the same church so we became friends and then it just seemed like a very natural process to start asking him to be our dentist for our entire family. I’m sure there are many like myself who have anxiety about seeing a dentist but those kind of issues are dealt with here. I just feel very comfortable in Dr. Clavin’s chair here.” Lenaya Peterson

“My name is Lee. I think I have been coming to Dr. Clavins office for almost 10 years. I’ve had a quite a few things done. I have periodontal issues there’ s a gap there between the enamel and the gum line where the root surface is exposed so I’ve had a lot of little cavities there but we’ve have a lot of other fun stuff we’ve done too. Dentistry has changed a lot since I was a little kid we didn’t get Novocain or anything like that, now its something else I’m sure, they just drilled on us. Its always been great. I’m always relaxed when I’m here, never in much pain at all. We’ve always had good success working together with the insurance companies and dealing with fixing up the teeth and keeping them in good shape. ” – Lee

“My name is Eric. My wife goes here. She recommended him and I had a great visit. It was great. They had the ultrasonic cleaning tool that was very nice. Its a big difference between the usual picks and axes they use.”

Eric is a patient at my experienced dental office located in the Twin Cities. If you are located in Minneapolis or St. Paul and would like to find out more about me please contact our office today.

When performing a smile makeover we take many things into consideration like skin tone, hair color, teeth shape, teeth width, gum tissue, facial appearance, and lips among other things. Nature doesn’t give us a customized smile but the innovations in cosmetic dentistry can.

When thinking about a smile makeover you can think about changing the color of your teeth, fixing missing teeth, creating a fuller smile, fixing alignment and spacing issues, and fixing chipped and cracked teeth.

If you would like to improve your smile contact Dr. Tim Clavin at his Minneapolis Cosmetic Dental Office today. We offer free consultations and can even show you what your new smile could potentially look like. We want to work with you so that you love your smile.
