No. You can pay extra for a blade replacement, and their prices are very reasonable, but they will not touch the serrations.

At least thus far, the best sharpener for teeth I have found is the Spyderco Sharpmaker.

Loaded leather shoelace, or polishing drum on a dremel. Works well.

I never gave that thought as I use the SharpMaker, but that sounds ingenious! I am guessing a leather shoelace works the same idea as a strop? Do you put any compound on it when you do this such as a Bark River polishing compound?

Yep, use it as a strop. Honestly, since I tried the dremel, I don't bother anymore with the shoelace. I use green rouge with either.
