Root canals are needed when a tooth becomes infected due to decay or injury.  If a tooth is infected and is not treated with a root canal the possibility of a more serious infection or loss of the tooth is certain.  At St. Louis Hills Dental, we do everything we can to put your mind at ease.  Root canals at out office are done using microscopes and the latest technolgy to achieve excellent results.

If you are experiencing any tooth symptoms involving swelling or a throbbing aching please let us know and we can schedule you for an evaluation and treatment.

To start with, we have the most comfortable equipment and procedures for your dental problems.  St. Louis Hills Dental Group believes that comfort is paramount to our patients. Our procedures also pass by quickly—you can have a new crown in about an hour.

We don’t use drills unless we absolutely have to, preferring micro air abrasion. We’re also liberal with our use of numbing gels and other analgesics. Most of our procedures don’t involve pain, but isn’t it comforting to know that you don’t even have to test us on that?

Beyond our equipment and procedures, we stand behind the work that we do.  We also strive to make our office as comfortable as possible. Our waiting room is a relaxed environment, and radio headsets and cable television are available if you want them.   It’s no coincidence that our patients love to see us!

Especially in this Information Age that we’re in, many people will research their problems on the Internet before they see a doctor or a dentist. This is actually a good practice, at least insofar as it gives them questions to ask the professional. The problem of it is that as the patient is not trained to diagnose a problem or consider a treatment plan, they can easily get themselves in a lot of trouble doing it.

Aside from misdiagnosing themselves, patients could also give themselves a lot of undue concern about their condition. For instance, they may lead themselves to believe that a tooth is going to have to be extracted when it really just needs a filling. We have the technology to handle most cases of tooth damage, and will only pull a tooth when it’s absolutely necessary.

Our state of the art tools and procedures provide the maximum comfort level and the shortest visit possible. If a crown is what you need, we have the “one visit crown,” the CEREC crown. We can have your custom crown made and placed in about an hour. Still, our dentists will take the time to discuss your concerns with you. Some dentists are all about production—getting you in and out—but not us.

Our office is designed for relaxation. We don’t believe that you should feel like you’re in an unfriendly environment while you’re here.

These are just a few of the things that make us different and more pleasant than any other dentist. 63109 area has a few dentists to choose from, so be sure you make the right choice.

At St. Louis Hills Dental Group we continue to prescribe antibiotics for our dental patients who have had joint replacement but we continue to monitor recommendations from the American Acadamy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS).  Patient health and comfort are always our priority

Proper maintenance of your teeth is important to prevent worse issues from arising.  It’s far better to go in for a routine dental hygiene appointment than delaying treatment and having more involved and costly procedures to deal with later.  While at many places, routine cleanings can be uncomfortable or inconvenient, the dental care professionals at St. Louis Hills Dental Group make it different in many ways.   We can get you in and out in minimal time, and with minimal discomfort.

As our patients will attest when your dental office is St. Louis Hills Dental Group you will enjoy going to the dentist!

Our dental health professionals here at St. Louis Hills Dental Group stay on top of the trends. We use the latest tools and techniques out there to make your visit the most pleasant you’ve ever had at a dental office. Our dentists, hygienists and assistants are constantly undergoing continuing education to provide you with the best dental practices in the profession.

Comfort is isn’t limited to our tools and techniques.  We don’t have a revolving door policy on our staff. The same people come in to work with us year after year, and we never use temporary employees.  This way, not only do we keep our staff up to date on dental procedures and techniques, but you get to see the same faces every time you come in.

Even going further than that, our office is the maximum in a comforting environment. Far from being a cold “facility,” our office is designed for comfort, in all cases, our goal here at St. Louis Hills Dental.

A friendly, casual atmosphere is essential to making sure that people feel comfortable. For many people, dental work is troubling enough as it is, and an impersonal, institutional environment isn’t going to help.  New patients may expect pain or discomfort, but it may surprise them to know that it doesn’t have to be the case. Opening the door to friendly faces and personable staff–a sad rarity at many businesses–will start a patient’s dental appointment off right.

At St. Louis Hills Dental Group our office is as inviting as possible.  From the landscape that greets patients as they climb out of their cars to the reception  room and dental exam rooms, a sense of home and comfort go a long way toward giving patients a surprising new perspective: Going to the dentist can actually be a pleasure!

Many south St. Louis Dentists tends to keep their relationships with their clients purely professional. While that may be okay for some people, we do things a little differently at our south St. Louis dentist office. We like to build actual personal relationships with our patients.

After all, if we’re going to be working together from here on to keep your teeth and gums in good shape, wouldn’t you rather be comfortable with us? Would you rather see someone who has become a friend, or a production-line dentist who really isn’t interested in you beyond the services you are paying him for?

The comfort of our clients isn’t just about what equipment, materials, and techniques we use. Granted, we do emphasize comfort on that level, but we don’t stop there. We want the overall experience to be the most pleasant dental visit you’ve ever had.

This philosophy extends into our reception area, the landscaping around the office…everything. Our patients actually like going to the dentist when they come to us. At St. Louis Hills Dental Group, we think that says something about how we’ve succeeded in our approach to your dental care.

As a team we all take pride in our dental experience and the years we have worked together.  I joined the team twenty three years ago,  some have been here more than thirty years.  We have all accomplished many goals together in our work and personal lives.

To keep our office running efficiently we start each day by reviewing our schedule and checking each patients individual wants and needs.  We also discuss what is expected of the team.

Once a month we all meet to discuss new materials, procedures, and any continuing education members of the team have experienced since the last meeting.  These meetings allow us to incorporate the latest technology for treatment that is needed and but comfortable for our patients.

So, I can assure you that we will all do out best to demonstrate to you, our patients, that this is a job worth doing and how much we enjoy doing it together.

Every dental office in St. Louis is held to the same standards of cleanliness and hygiene. There is a set criteria that we all have to meet in order to stay in business. The state of Missouri demands and enforces these standards, so there’s really not much to choose from in that qualification.

Now, you can bet that there are varying levels of skill in tools and techniques among the different St. Louis dental offices. Certainly, we compete with each other in this area, and St. Louis Hills Dental Group is certainly at the top of the pile. We like to keep the same staff, and not have to rely on temp agencies for this very reason. This leads into what we think really makes the difference—comfort.

All of our staff are kept up to date in the latest techniques and procedure innovations in dentistry. Naturally, this would be hard to maintain if we had a revolving door employee situation. This familiarity helps lend to the casual atmosphere of our office, which goes a long way to set our patients at ease. If you take that, along with our comfortable office environment and our selection of the gentlest tools and techniques, you can see how you might enjoy going to the dentist if you’re one of our patients.
