Services
Dental Cleanings
Our professional dental cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup to maintain optimal oral health. Using advanced techniques, we ensure thorough cleaning while prioritizing patient comfort. Regular cleanings help prevent gum disease and maintain fresh breath, complemented by personalized home care recommendations.
Dental Implants
We offer durable dental implants as permanent solutions for missing teeth. Our implant process includes comprehensive planning with 3D imaging to ensure precise placement. Implants restore chewing function and preserve jawbone structure while providing natural-looking aesthetics.
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment straightens teeth discreetly using custom clear aligners. We create personalized treatment plans with digital simulations to show expected results. The removable aligners allow normal eating and cleaning while gradually achieving proper tooth alignment.
Root Canals
Our root canal procedures relieve dental pain and save damaged teeth. Using modern techniques and precise imaging, we remove infected tissue while preserving tooth structure. Post-treatment restoration ensures long-term tooth functionality and strength.
Children's Dentistry
We specialize in making dental visits positive experiences for children. Our preventive care includes fluoride treatments and sealants to protect young smiles. Our team uses age-appropriate communication to educate kids about oral hygiene in a comfortable environment.

My boys were so nervous to go to the dentist for the first time. The staff was so friendly and kind. They greeted us by name, showed the boys all the cleaning tools so they would be comfortable and talked them through the whole process. They had such a great experience and we highly recommend them!

I and my entire family were patients there for seven years. Recently I noticed that they had been trying to overcharge me for more than what my insurance covered. It almost seemed like insurance fraud. When I finally gave them the explanation of benefits they said they made a mistake and wouldn't charge me the difference between what insurance covered and what they were billing. They had done this numerous times and every time I caught them they apologized and said it was just a mistake.
I truly believe they were just trying to squeeze more money out of me but my explanation of benefits proved what I really owed them. The very last straw was when they wouldn't waive a $75 cancellation fee because my daughter was sick and canceled on the same day. It's pretty unfortunate that they would lose an entire Family's business over $75. I will never go back there and I would encourage everyone never to go to the dentist. They are just out for the money. The office manager who does the bills there is extremely rude and condescending as well.

As always, Saint Charles Family Dentistry did a wonderful job with both myself and my sons 6 month cleaning. We have been going to the clinic for over 10 years! The receptionists are very kind and friendly. The technicians made myself and my son feel very safe while getting our teeth cleaned during a pandemic and the doctors are exceptional as always. Highly recommend!

Everyone at St. Charles Family Dentistry are professional and polite. They were very conscious of cleanliness and protection during the pandemic. I have not had a bad experience and my daughter and I have been patients for more than a decade.

We have been patients since 1984 and while staff changes have taken place, the innovations in technology and quality of care has always been very excellent. Our daughters now have their own families and some of them have continued with St. Charles Family Dentistry.

AWESOME Experience. I learned so much today. The entire staff provided service above and beyond my expectations. They maintained safety COVID guidelines, provided great service, answered all my questions thoroughly. The moment I walked in the door, the environment was bright, clean and pleasant. The front desk staff was helpful and courtesy. The X-Ray Technician (Lashes) was patient and gentle. The hygienist knew her stuff and provided great options for maintaining good oral health. The DENTIST! PHENOMENAL! That is a lot of brain in that small frame! Truly a great experience. Highly recommend the team at St. Charles Family Dentistry. You really feel like family!
