“I have a fear of dentists and Dr. Smith made my experience wonderful.  She is sweet, her employees are nice and this office is well organized.”

“I heard about Dentistry With TLC from a family friend.  I was very surprised to find that getting braces here would take half the time and cost half the price of my orthodontist.  I like that everyone here makes me feel at home.  They answered all my questions and were friendly and speedy.”

“I think Dentistry With TLC is a great place to go.  I’ve received excellent care here from the doctors and the staff.  I’m glad I chose to call them after hearing their advertisement on the radio.”

“Now that I have an oral appliance I no longer snore, I sleep through the night and I feel more alert during the day.  I feel like a cloud has been lifted and I have more stamina all day long.  My oral appliance was worth the cost because it changed my whole life.  I can’t imagine going back to the way I felt before I had it.  All the people at Dentistry With TLC are so kind.  They made me feel like I had known them forever.  Thank you Dr. Smith for making my life better!”

“My oral appliance gives me full, restful nights of sleep which increases my energy for the day.  Before I got an oral appliance I used a CPAP every night for 5 years and I was unhappy every night when I put it on.  I lacked free movement because the air hose kept me tethered and it made fluttering noises that would wake my wife when the air would escape from the mask.  The tightness of the headgear made the bridge of my nose sore, left strap marks on my cheeks and made indentions on my forehead.  When the power went off I had no air.  The CPAP also made my nose and throat dry and airport screening was an ordeal.  Now that I use an oral appliance I don’t have any more facial marks, dry mouth, and pain from the tight mask or noise to wake my wife.  I love being free to move and turn over.  Dr. Smith and the staff at Dentistry With TLC encouraged me to call if I had questions.  I have the sense that they really want their patients to have a better quality of life.”

“My oral appliance has changed my life.  Since I started using my oral appliance just one month ago my energy level has returned, my snoring has stopped and it has given me my life back!  I no longer fall asleep anymore during the day.  I used a CPAP before I got my appliance and I hated it!  If you suffer with sleep apnea, I recommend trying an oral appliance; it may change your life.  To Dr. Smith and the friendly staff at Dentistry With TLC, thank you.  You guys rock!”

“Dentistry With TLC is unique.  The people here are glad to resolve any problems!  I saw Dr. Smith on a television interview talking about oral appliances.  I used a CPAP – ugh!  The CPAP was too cumbersome and impossible for a stomach sleeper.  Dr. Smith made me an oral appliance and it is easy to travel with, easy to use and I no longer snore!  My entire life has had great improvement.  I’ve had a great experience at Dentistry With TLC.  It’s so easy!”

“I like my oral appliance and I think it’s worth every penny.  I used to use a CPAP and I disliked always having to put water in it and dealing with the hose.  It also made traveling difficult.  Now that Dr. Smith made me an oral appliance I don’t need my CPAP anymore and I sleep better.  I’m glad I read about the oral appliance in the paper.”

“If you don’t like your CPAP, get an oral appliance.  It’s worth the cost!  I feel more rested and I’ve had a great experience with Dr. Smith at Dentistry With TLC.  I did not like sleeping with a mask on my face.  Every time I would turn over it would slide off my face and wake me up.  I’m so happy to have an oral appliance and no longer have anything on my face while I sleep.”

Katherine T., Brighton, IL

“I think of my oral appliance as being the cost of a vacation, but having more benefits.  It’s very comfortable and took me no time at all to adjust to using it.  When I used to use a CPAP it was uncomfortable because it put too much air pressure in my throat and I would choke when I opened my mouth.  Now that I have an oral appliance I fall asleep quickly, I’m comfortable and I rarely snore.  My husband no longer complains that it sounds like I’m choking in my sleep.”

Rosie K., St. Louis, MO

“Getting an oral appliance was the best thing I could do for myself!  I used to use a CPAP but I felt claustrophobic and didn’t like it.  Now that I use an oral appliance I sleep better, don’t have to get up as often in the night to go to the bathroom and it’s much easier to care for than my CPAP.  I heard about Dr. Smith and the oral appliance on a news program on Channel 4.  Everyone at Dentistry With TLC treats me with TLC which makes my drive to Godfrey worth the trip.”

“Everybody at Dentistry With TLC is so nice and I recommend coming here.  I used to use a CPAP until Dr. Smith taught me about an oral appliance.  My CPAP was very uncomfortable and I didn’t like the markings on my face from the mask.  I sleep so much better now that I have an oral appliance instead of my CPAP.  My appliance is convenient and easy to store.  My oral appliance is well worth the money to get a good night’s sleep.”

“I’m glad I saw Dr. Smith on Great Day St. Louis.  I was using a CPAP and I didn’t like the high air pressure down my throat.  Dr. Smith made me an oral appliance and I got used to it in just one night.  It was well worth the cost.  Now I’m able to sleep without waking, I feel better during the day and it’s much easier to travel with an oral appliance than with my CPAP.  Everyone at Dentistry With TLC is great.  If I need to see Dr. Smith they always get me an appointment.”

“The people at Dentistry With TLC are great to deal with and they allow me quick access to my treatment.  Even my husband likes coming here and he’s not a fan of dentist offices.”

“When I had a bad cavity Dr. Smith was so kind and was able to save my tooth.  Everyone in this office is friendly.  Now I’m no longer scared to come to the dentist.  Dentistry With TLC makes it easy to keep my teeth healthy by coming to my cleanings.”

“I no longer have to struggle with my CPAP!  Dr. Smith made me an oral sleep appliance and it only took two nights for me to get used to it.  Now I have sound sleep, no snoring, I wake up feeling good and my jaws don’t hurt anymore because I no longer grind my teeth!  I’m so glad I don’t have to deal with a CPAP mask, the noise of a machine and feeling confined in bed.  You can’t put a price on feeling good all the time!”

“Last year my sister died due to complications with her sleep apnea.  Two days before she passed she told me she had a dream that she couldn’t breathe and she woke up gasping for air.  Don’t wait until it’s too late!  I used to use a CPAP but just couldn’t get comfortable enough to sleep.  However, now I have an oral appliance to treat my sleep apnea and it’s amazing!  I feel well rested when I wake up instead of feeling like I was fighting in my sleep all night with my CPAP.  My experience at Dentistry With TLC has been won-der-ful!  I tell everyone I know about Dr. Anna and her crew.”

“I like coming to Dentistry With TLC because they are able to complete my entire procedure at just one visit so I don’t have to wait several weeks while I wear a temporary crown, or come back for another appointment later.  A friend recommended I come to Dentistry With TLC.”
