Lumineers and veneers are cosmetic dentistry options that can help restore your teeth for a beautiful smile.
Did you know that approximately 50% of adults are self-conscious about their teeth? That’s right, more than half the US adult population is relieved that we have to wear face masks because they cover up their teeth.
Best Dentists in St. Louis. Really a great dental experience. I have used this office for regular dental care, cavities, crowns, and cosmetic dentistry. Teeth look great.
Response from the owner:Christopher we apologize for the belated response. We are very pleased to hear you have a great dental experience with our office! Thank you for your kind words. We look forward to seeing you at your next dental appointment!
Dr. Behl!
I cannot recommend Dr. Maris Behl enough. If you have dental anxiety, she is truly the kind of dentist you hope to find. If teeth could be wrapped in pillows and protected by flying unicorns, Dr. Behl would somehow make it happen.
I have significant anxiety around dental procedures and have needed deeper sedation for dental work in the past. From the beginning, Dr. Behl took the time to listen to my concerns and made me feel genuinely heard rather than dismissed or rushed. She created such a sense of trust and safety that I was eventually able to have my dental work done with only nitrous instead of full sedation, which is something I honestly didn’t think I would be comfortable doing.
During my crown placement, she explained what she was doing throughout the procedure, which made an enormous difference in keeping me calm. She also took the time to address a filling that had been bothering me for what felt like forever — and she actually fixed the problem.
What stands out most about Dr. Behl is how safe I feel in her care. She is compassionate, patient, communicative, and incredibly attentive to how her patients are feeling. For someone with dental anxiety, that combination is invaluable.
Finding a dentist I trust this much has completely changed my experience with dental care. I am incredibly grateful to Dr. Behl and would recommend her without hesitation, especially to anyone who has dental anxiety or has struggled to feel comfortable receiving dental treatment.
Response from the owner:Thank you for such incredibly kind words! We’ll be sure to pass this along to Dr. Behl. We’re pretty sure the flying unicorns are going to be the part she remembers most! 🦄💙 We’re so glad our team could help make your experience a more comfortable one.
Dr Thoms and his team are phenomenal. No question, the absolute best possible option for my child when he needed work done while sleeping (age based). While this option is not inexpensive, this set up of have anesthesiology in-house allowed us to get his mouth healthy when a traditional pediatric dentist could/would not. I am a parent that asks a lot of questions on behalf of my toddler’s care and at no point did I feel judged for this, nor was I rushed during my evaluation process during the consultation. Although the procedure is not one I would like to repeat for my child, my husband and I were both so pleased with how well Dr. Thoms communicated and how he clearly cared for our son’s wellbeing (both physical and emotional during a less than comfortable visit). Cannot recommend the back of house team more highly.
My one detraction is the FOH staff (not everyone) were not nearly as pleasant. I would like to communicate that while their day-to-day is very routine for them, being in that office as a parent is very scary for some people in their office and a little bit of kindness goes along way. I do recall, having a very pleasant conversation with Rebecca, but otherwise everyone else was on the apathetic side, in my personal opinion. That said you’ll notice that I still am leaving a five star review because the dental staff really just knocked out of the park, but as a parent I want to encourage you to look past any rudeness you may experience over email or on the phone because Dr. Thom’s is really that excellent.
Response from the owner:Thank you for taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback. We’re grateful to hear that our team provided compassionate, attentive care and took the time to answer your questions throughout the process. We also appreciate your comments regarding your experience with our front office team and will certainly share your feedback. Your kind words mean so much to us!
Everybody wants a perfect smile, and thanks to veneers and lumineers, everyone can have one. Lumineers and veneers are cosmetic dentistry options that can help restore your teeth for a beautiful smile. Below is how you can upgrade your smile with veneers or lumineers.
What Are Veneers?
Veneers are cosmetic porcelain coatings for your teeth. They’re white, spotless, and shiny like your standard Hollywood teeth. Veneers can cover up cosmetic issues like stains, chips, and cracks for a better smile.
To get veneers, your dentist will first have to conduct checks on your teeth to determine whether you qualify for veneers. If your teeth aren’t strong enough, you might have to settle for dental crowns instead.
Benefits of Veneers
Veneers can do wonders for your not-so-perfect teeth. Here are a few benefits of veneers.
They look natural– It’s hard to tell veneers from natural teeth unless you look real close. Veneers look and feel natural and are a great way of upgrading your smile without using artificial teeth.
They don’t stain– Unlike natural teeth, veneers don’t stain with improper dental hygiene. However, you must still take good care of them, or they may stain slightly after five years.
Boost your confidence– Veneers can cover up any cracks, discolorization, or chips. This can be a great confidence boost and improve your quality of life.
What Are Lumineers?
Lumineers are a specific veneer brand that is cheaper, thinner, and easier to apply than ordinary veneers. Lumineers serve the same purpose as veneers and cover any teeth deformities that may ruin your smile.
Benefits of Lumineers
Cost-Effective – Lumineers are more affordable than standard veneers. So they’re a great option if you’re strapped for cash and need to upgrade your smile.
Fast Application – A quick and simple dental procedure will have you with a beautiful new smile in no more than an hour. That means you don’t have to worry about any lengthy or excruciating procedure, characteristic of most dental works.
Reversible – If, for whatever reason, you don’t like your lumineers, you can have your dentist remove them in an instant. You can then consider ordinary veneers or other dental alternatives.
