Washington's
closer than the city. About 25 minutes south.
About 25 minutes down Hwy 47 and I-44, in a quiet town called St. Clair, there's a full-service family dental practice — cleanings, crowns, implants, and emergency care under one roof. For plenty of Washington families, the short drive is worth it.
+ I-44
Washington has
good dentists.
But not this.
We're not going to pretend you should drive 25 minutes for a cleaning. You have plenty of good options closer to home for routine family dentistry, and we'd tell you to use them.
But for dental implants — especially full-arch, complex cases, or situations where a general dentist has told you "we'll need to refer you out" — the closest comparable implant experience is in St. Louis. An hour up I-44 in traffic.
Our practice is the exception. We've placed nearly 3,000 implants — an unusual volume for a general practice — and it's why we see patients from Washington, Union, Pacific, Sullivan, and beyond make the short drive to St. Clair instead of the long one to the city.
If you're considering implants: the drive is worth a consultation.
Three reasons,
mostly.
Dental implants, placed here.
Single-tooth, full-arch All-on-4, bone grafting, dentures on implants. All implant placement performed on-site — not referred out to St. Louis.
Full-arch All-on-4.
Replace every tooth on an arch with a fixed set anchored on four implants. Same-day temporary teeth. For Washington-area patients done with dentures, this is genuinely life-changing work.
Emergency care that gets you in.
When you can't get a same-day appointment with your regular Washington dentist, we often can. Small team, real people on the phone, emergency slots held daily.
The implant experience
you'd otherwise drive
to St. Louis for.
Our practice has placed nearly 3,000 dental implants — an unusual volume for a general dental office, and the kind of case experience you'd normally have to go into the city to find. Whatever your situation, chances are we've treated it before, many times over.
That depth of implant experience is rare outside specialty practices in major metros. St. Louis has it. St. Clair has it. For Washington patients, we're closer — and we work with you as part of a real practice that also handles your cleanings, crowns, and emergencies, not a once-a-year consult.
"I can't imagine going anywhere else. Everyone in the office rocks — I've been going here 20+ years."
