Hi my name is Tanya and I've been an Expanded Functions Dental Assistant for 18 years. My goal is to make my patients feel comfortable and appreciated. I especially enjoy working with cosmetic dentistry cases. It's so rewarding seeing a patients eyes light up the first time when they see their new smile.
Hello! My name is Jen Eckenfels. I have known since high school that I wanted to go into Dentistry. When I attended Oakville High School, I worked at a Pediatric Dental practice. I have been a Dental Assistant for fifteen years. I became a Certified Dental Assistant in 1999 and an Expanded Functions Dental Assistant in 2001. This is the highest level of formal education that a Dental Assistant can have and allows me to be able to take a larger part in creating our patients beautiful smiles!
I enjoy all the smiles I meet everyday and the variety of tasks I get to perform at my job now that I am able to do expanded functions. My favorite moments are when we encounter a patient who is very fearful of seeing a dentist and by the time they leave our office their fear has subsided and they have a great big smile on their face.
I also enjoy going to Give Kids A Smile twice a year. I love being able to help the children who would otherwise not have been able to see a dentist. I have been to Honduras three times to help more children and adults get the dental care that they so desperately need.
My name is Lilly, and I have been a registered dental hygienist since 1988. Prior to that I 'grew up' in dentistry as a certified dental assistant from 1975-1986. I saw then, that dentistry would become my second family.
Having been in this profession for quite some time, I knew when I joined this dental practice in 2007, that this would be a caring and high-tech office , to extend a great experience to my patients. That is because we can all work together to make great things happen.
Hello, my name is Kasey Murphy and I am happy to be a part of Dr. Sinhas dedicated dental team. I am a Registered Dental Hygienist with a Bachelors of Science Degree that I received from Southern Illinois University Carbondale in 2005. In my final year of hygiene school I had the life changing opportunity to go on a dental mission trip to Mexico where I was able to provide free dental care to a population that had never received dental treatment. I was married in 2008 to a wonderful man, Keith and have two beautiful children.
Just remember, improving the health and appearance of your smile will not only make you feel better but improve your overall health and quality of life. I invite you to be a part of our dental family and achieve your goals.
At Sinha Family Dentistry, we provide clear braces throughout the St. Louis area. Straight teeth are important for your overall oral health. When teeth are crooked, they can become stained and infected more easily. By straightening teeth, we can improve your appearance and decrease the risk of getting cavities at the same time. We can also address issues that you may have with your jaw by aligning your bite. Clear braces are truly a comprehensive way and discreet way to address oral health concerns.
We understand that while many people want to have straighter teeth, many teens and adults are uncomfortable with the traditional metal braces on their teeth for more than one year. While they are not as discreet as people wish, metal braces are an effective tool for straightening teeth. The procedure works by placing a metal bracket onto the surface of each tooth and running a wire through those brackets. It is impossible not to notice when someone is wearing traditional metal braces. While the treatment works, it can also negatively impact a persons' appearance while doing so. This has led many people to seek out a better option, one that we provide.
At Sinha Family Dentistry, we offer clear alternatives for adults and teens the greater St. Louis area. We can straighten teeth and move them into the perfect position so the patient has a beautiful and radiant straight smile. If you have crooked teeth, unsightly gaps between your teeth or a misaligned bite, then we can help to correct these issues and more. Clear braces work just as effectively as metal braces but with some major improvements. Clear braces are much more difficult to notice, making them ideal for busy professionals, teens and those that do not want to negatively impact their current appearance during the process.
There are several types of clear and barely visible options to choose. One operates similarly to traditional metal braces where we place a bracket onto each tooth and thread a wire between the brackets. The difference is that instead of being made out of metal, the brackets for clear braces consists of a tooth-colored resin that blends in with the natural tooth. The wire is also tooth-colored so that the braces themselves are almost invisible and difficult to see. We find that this solution works well for teens and adults that are able to practice proper dental hygiene with the clear braces. Otherwise, food can stain the brackets. This solution is an excellent alternative to traditional braces and is just as effective at addressing all oral health concerns.
Clear braces also come in the form of aligners. Clear aligners look like a full retainer that surrounds the teeth and are worn on the upper and lower teeth. Aligners are more convenient to wear than metal braces since patients can remove them when necessary. One of the major concerns that people have with wearing braces is that they do not come off until the treatment is complete. If, for example, you get braces then decide to get married, you will either have braces in your wedding pictures or need to pay to remove them and reinstall them after. Simultaneously, if you have a big presentation at work and want to impress a client, your braces cannot come off for the meeting. This leaves many adults apprehensive about committing to a two-year treatment plan. We understand that appearance is important for more than vanity. It impacts your ability to create a professional image and retain your own self-image. As a St. Louis provider of clear braces and aligners, we make it so that you do not have to compromise your appearance or lifestyle while straightening teeth; aligners are a key component of that.
We treat both teens and adults and understand that both can benefit from similar treatment options. While children may not be able to wear clear braces, teens can wear clear braces if they take proper care of them. The main difference between clear braces for teens and adult braces, is that teens may need to use their aligners for a longer period of time. With such a busy schedule, we expect teens to remove their aligners more frequently to do things like play sports.
Wondering if you should choose Invisalign clear aligners as your teeth straightening option? Gone are the days when people had to choose traditional metal braces when wanting straighter teeth. Nowadays, there are a few different options for straightening your teeth, which means you have choices. These options not only allow you to have a great
