Looking for dental care in a family-oriented office? Your
Arnold family dentists at JL Dental provide what patients of all ages need in a
caring setting.
From routine to complex dental care, few dentists can
provide the caring, skilled dental services available from JL Dental. Husband/wife team of Drs. Jonathan and Laura
Mears understands the needs of children through senior adults. In fact, they
are parents themselves and want only the best for their family and others in
the Arnold, MO area.
What can JL Dental do for your
children?
Beginning at age 3, the Arnold family dentists like to see children for a quick get-acquainted exam. As
kids get older, the dentists add x-rays and cleanings to assess oral
development, prevent cavities and keep teeth sparkling clean through all stages
of child and adolescent development. These exam appointments provide time
patient-teaching on oral hygiene habits, nutrition and other topics important
for young teeth and gums.
Are orthodontics necessary for proper bite, aesthetics and
long-term dental health? The Mears offer traditional braces and ClearCorrect
for great new smiles--from mild/moderate misalignment problems to the most
complex correction issues. In addition,
in-office fluoride treatments and plastic sealants, applied to deeply
grooved back molars, protect young teeth from cavities.
What can JL Dental do for
adults and seniors?
All patients require 6-month cleanings and check-ups to keep
gums healthy and to prevent extensive restorations and tooth loss. The dentists
perform simple, painless oral cancer screenings on every patient at each
check-up. They also perform periodontal probing to measure gum pocket depth, a
very accurate indicator of gum disease.
If restorative care becomes necessary, JL Dental delivers
the latest in dental implant technology, metal-free, tooth-colored fillings,
crowns, bridgework and dentures. While extractions are sometimes necessary, the
Mears do all they can to preserve natural teeth as the best foundation for a
healthy smile. TMJ dysfunction, a common adult problem associated
with the jaw joint, receives careful evaluation and recommendations.
Comfortable root canal therapy preserves failing teeth by removing infected
pulp, sealing the inner tooth chambers and capping the tooth with a
custom-made, lifelike crown.
Additionally, the Arnold family dentists deliver a range of
cosmetic dental services such as:
l professional
teeth whitening to brighten yellow, dull teeth
l composite
resin bonding to fill in chips, cracks and gaps
l porcelain
veneers to cover heavy discolorations and larger defects with fine dental
ceramic
Your aesthetic wishes are considered and planned for in a
comprehensive treatment plan that combines cosmetic services as needed for a
great look that increases self-confidence. Dr. Jonathan Mears and Dr. Laura
Mears give the best care individualized for optimal results and long-term oral
and systemic health, too.
