Comprehensive Dental Care for the Whole Family

Family dentistry has proudly served our community for over 60 years, with family care at the heart of everything we do. We understand that each family member has unique dental needs, so we personalize every visit to ensure your experience is comfortable, efficient, and tailored to you. Whether your child is here for their very first checkup or you’re managing complex restorative needs later in life, we’re here to support your journey toward a healthier smile. At Family Smile Centers in St. Charles County, you’ll also find early morning hours and a wide range of services under one roof, making it easier than ever to prioritize your family’s oral health.

Preventive Care That Lasts a Lifetime

Preventive dentistry helps you maintain lifelong oral health by stopping problems before they start. Routine visits let us catch issues early—when treatment is easier and less costly. Using advanced digital X-rays and screenings, we create personalized care plans to protect your smile.

Our preventive services include:

  • Comprehensive exams
  • Professional cleanings
  • Digital X-rays (2D & 3D)
  • Oral cancer screenings
  • Fluoride treatments
  • Dental sealants for kids and teens

Periodontal & Gum Health Support

Gum health is just as important as healthy teeth. Periodontal disease is one of the most common oral health issues, and it can lead to serious consequences if left untreated. At Family Smile Centers, we actively screen for signs of gum disease at every visit. We believe in proactive treatment. By addressing symptoms like bleeding gums, inflammation, or gum recession early, we can protect the supporting structures of your teeth and help prevent tooth loss and systemic health issues linked to periodontal disease.

Our approach to gum care is both preventative and therapeutic, depending on your needs.

  • Scaling and root planing (deep cleanings)
  • Antibacterial rinses and localized medicaments
  • Periodontal maintenance appointments for ongoing care
  • Patient education on brushing and flossing techniques

Pediatric Dental Care

A child’s first experiences at the dentist set the tone for their lifelong attitude toward oral health. That’s why we make pediatric dentistry a priority. We create a warm, encouraging environment to help kids feel comfortable and confident during their visits. Our team explains each step of the process in child-friendly terms and encourages parents to participate in the experience. By making dental visits positive and educational, we help children develop healthy habits from an early age.

We offer a full range of preventive and early-intervention treatments for children of all ages.

  • First dental exams and introductory cleanings
  • Fluoride treatments to prevent cavities
  • Dental sealants to protect back teeth
  • Gentle tooth-colored fillings for minor cavities
  • Oral hygiene education tailored to kids and parents

Tooth-Colored Fillings & Routine Restorations

Even with excellent home care, cavities can happen. When they do, our team uses composite resin (tooth-colored) fillings to restore the tooth without affecting your smile’s appearance. These strong, durable fillings blend seamlessly with your natural tooth color. In addition to fillings, we provide conservative restorative options such as inlays and onlays for patients who need more support than a filling can offer but less than a crown. Our goal is to preserve your natural tooth structure whenever possible.

Emergency Dental Care

Dental emergencies can strike when you least expect them. Whether your child falls on the playground or you’re having sudden tooth pain, we’re here to help. At Family Smile Centers in St. Charles County, we reserve time in our schedule for urgent dental issues so that you can be seen quickly, often on the same day. Our team treats emergencies with urgency and compassion, helping you understand your options and delivering prompt, effective care.

We treat a wide range of urgent dental concerns in-office.

  • Severe toothaches or sensitivity
  • Chipped, cracked, or broken teeth
  • Knocked-out (avulsed) teeth
  • Abscesses, swelling, or infections
  • Lost or damaged fillings, crowns, or bridges

If you’re experiencing a dental emergency, please call us immediately so we can assist you.

Root Canals and Extractions, When Needed

While we always strive to save natural teeth, there are times when more advanced treatment is necessary. If decay or infection reaches the tooth’s inner nerve, a root canal may be needed to relieve pain and preserve the tooth. In cases where a tooth cannot be saved—due to trauma, damage, or crowding—our team provides gentle extractions. We use advanced imaging and sedation options (when appropriate) to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.

A Family-Friendly Experience, Every Time

Your time is valuable, so we’ve made our office efficient, convenient, and welcoming. With flexible scheduling and a full range of services under one roof, families get the care they need without extra hassle. Our team takes the time to listen, educate, and personalize your care—so every visit feels comfortable and stress-free.
