Services
We recognize that all our patients are unique and deserve to receive dental care that reflects their individual needs. Our experienced and talented dental team is committed to working with you and your family to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding dental experience every time you visit our practice.
My greatest passion in dentistry is to help my patients keep their teeth for life. Whether I'm helping them prevent future dental problems or solving their current ones, I get great satisfaction from seeing them leave our office with a smile. My original interest in becoming a dentist came at an early age after seeing the excellent treatment my father did in his work.
Being a full-time practicing dentist has meant everything to me, even more now that my son Paul has joined the practice. I make sure my patients' needs are completely met by being available 24/7 and going the extra mile for each and every one of them. I have covered emergencies on every public holiday over the decades.
Quality dentistry is all about the patient, and at Mendes Family Dentistry, P.A., that's what we strive to provide: quality, patient-focused dental care. We believe in treating our patients as we would our own families, with excellent patient care, respect for our patients' needs and time, and a genuine concern for our patients' health and well-being.
Our practice is committed to providing you and your family with safe, gentle, high-quality dental care. We understand that you or your child may feel anxious about visiting the dentist. We are sensitive to your needs, and it is our goal to make you feel comfortable visiting our practice while providing the best care possible.

Dr. Paul is absolutely exceptional and the best dentist that I have ever had! I can't stand numbing shots for anything and Dr. Paul has given me several new crowns and replaced a very old crown that had broken (and the pain was truly minimal even with no numbing shot!) with the utmost ease, gentleness and thoroughness -- his hands are truly magical!
I cannot recommend Dr. Paul enough -- I am delighted that he is my dentist (and only hope that he doesn't get too busy so that I can still see him!)

My wife has been a patient with Dr. Paul for a couple of years. She has had a hard time thru the years with other dentists and Dr. Paul has been a Godsend. He has been gentle and reassuring. He fixed her front teeth and my wife has gained her confidence back. Thank you, Dr. Paul, we will recommend you!!

I just went in on12/29/2020 & THEY WERE AMAZING! I am 22 and was uninsured for years. I finally got disconnected from my mom & got my own insurance this year, and I got through to Mendes. They did my first cleaning I’ve had in years. The nurse Micha was so funny and made me enjoy my cleaning. She asked me all types of questions about my travels. She put me at ease. Then I saw Dr.Charles and he was the best, most kind hearted dentist I’ve ever seen in my life. Many dentists have been mean to me, especially with MN state insurance. He explained how I’m only cleaning 60% of the tooth if I don’t

I recently switched back to Mendes after being away from them for 15 years. I wish I hadn’t waited so long to return. Charles Mendes is an outstanding dentist and the entire staff makes you feel like you’re part of the family! The same receptionist is still there from 15 years ago! Great dentist and I would highly recommend.

I'm so happy that I switched over to this dentist this year! It's a little far of a drive for me but totally worth it. I found this dentistry by word of mouth and decided to try it after looking at the reviews. I'm so glad that I did. The staff were so nice and helpful and the dental hygienist was great. I have a permanent retainer on my bottom teeth from having braces so there's always plaque build up and she got it all, my teeth are so clean!!

I have been going to this dental office for over 30 years. I still see Dr. Charles Mendes for routine checkups, but I have also had work done by his son Dr. Paul Mendes. Both dentists are amazing! They communicate clearly and make sure you completely understand each procedure. I just had a root canal and I was dreading it, but Dr. Paul put me at… ease and checked to see how I was doing throughout the procedure. He told me it would take about 1-1/2 hours, but it only took 1 hour! I was so pleased with the result. I highly recommend these dentists.

This family practice is nothing short of amazing. The entire staff are friendly and welcoming from the moment I made the appointment. I appreciate the diversity amongst the staff. The office manager Sharron is very inviting and kind. My hygienist was Mayka, punctual and sociable. Dr. Charles is a pleasant man. He took the time to explain all my options and the pro and cons of each to be sure I had a full understanding. I had an enjoyable experience with this team.

Dr. Charles Mendes has been my dentist for many years and I have always appreciated his good work. This year his son, Dr. Paul, did a excellent job putting in a permanent tooth for me. Sharon, Lee, Barb. Nancy who just retired, and the rest of the staff have always been professional, friendly and helpful.

I wouldn't go anywhere else for a crown. Dr. Mendez numbed the area well, talked me through the procedure, and was able to sculpt the crown right in the office. All in a single office visit. The crown feels great in my mouth. They even told me that I did a good job, which is funny cause all I did was sit there, but it made me feel good. I am so grateful. Well done.

Over the years I've had a fair amount of dental work done by various dentist. MFD leads the pack by a good margin. They're highly skilled, courteous, efficient, flexible, and take the time to explain what they're doing and why. They work with you to insure that you receive the best dental care possible.
