She didn’t want a whole new smile, just one she didn’t have to think about. Whitening brought the shade up, and two veneers on her front teeth made everything blend together.

Feeling fine is the best time for a checkup. Early decay and gum disease usually don't hurt until they're advanced, and regular visits catch them while they're small.

Last October I walked into this office as its owner for the first time. I'd spent most of my life dreaming about practicing in Clayton.

One year in, I'm living that dream. I get to make people smile every day, and I'm blessed to do it.

To Dr. Telthorst, thank you for trusting me with over 25 years of your work. To the patients who stayed, and the new ones who took a chance on the new guy, thank you. To Bri, Skye, Kyleigh , Mariah, and Christina , you're the best team I could ask for. None of this happens without you.

Together we gave more than $50,000 in free dental care this year to veterans and women getting back on their feet. That number belongs to this team and to every patient who walks through our door.

A year ago I said let's get to work. We did. Year two starts now.

Two broken front teeth. Two crowns. One very different smile.                                                           ...

The scariest thing this October isn’t the candy. It’s your dental benefits quietly vanishing.

Most plans reset on January 1, and whatever you haven’t used disappears for good. If a crown or filling has been haunting your to-do list, now is the time.

We know dental insurance can be confusing. Here’s the breakdown.

We’re in network with Delta Dental PPO, MetLife, Cigna, Guardian, Sun Life, and most plans from Aetna, Humana, United Healthcare and Anthem BCBS. We’re also on the Connection Dental, GEHA, DHA and Zelis fee schedules, so your plan may be in network even if you don’t see it listed.

Not sure about yours? Call or text 314-725-2232 and we’ll check.
