Overall

Great Family Dentist

I have always had to take my youngest son to a pediatric dentist. I brought him in to Dr. Mears office recently and was thrilled. He not only sat good, but Dr. Mears did fillings on him without him even realizing he had a shot. I would recommend this office to anyone looking for a honest, down to earth, family focused dentist. He now treats my whole family and we couldn't be happier.

JL Dental

Dental Examination
All three are fee-for-service plans, which means that in exchange for your monthly premiums you are eligible for discounts on treatments you and your family need in order to enjoy optimal oral health. In particular, preventive services such as cleanings and exams are covered at 100 percent. These appointments allow the dentist to routinely monitor the condition of your mouth and to address problems sooner rather than later.
X-rays
Oral Cancer Screening
To maintain optimal oral health, we recommend you visit our office every six months for treatments like exams, cleanings, cavity checks, and oral cancer screenings. We’ll look for gum disease and remove the plaque and tartar that contribute to various oral health problems. We’ll also look for oral cancer, a serious problem that depends on early detection for successful treatment.

Teeth Cleaning
Preventive care, or dental cleanings and checkups are covered at 100% in your network, which means that there is no out-of-pocket cost when you visit JL Dental every six months.
Fluoride Treatment
The benefits of fluoride for oral health are well-documented, and that’s why the mineral is in all toothpaste approved by the American Dental Association. Fluoride strengthens tooth enamel to help reverse the weak spots that will eventually turn into cavities. With a topical fluoride treatment applied at the end of a checkup and cleaning, we can help protect your teeth against the acids, sugars, and bacteria that your smile encounters every day in the months between dental visits.
Dental Sealants
Children are at an increased risk of developing cavities before their tooth enamel has fully hardened. The back teeth, with their pitted and grooved surface, are especially vulnerable to decay. To help, your dentist may recommend dental sealants. They are a thin layer of translucent material that is applied directly to the surface of the molars and premolars where they act as a shield to protect the enamel from decay-causing sugars and bacteria.

Fillings
In the past, metallic amalgam fillings were your best restorative option. As a compound of mercury, silver, tin, zinc, and copper, amalgam is very strong and durable, but it definitely has downsides, including the dark, silvery appearance and the need to remove more of the natural tooth structure to accommodate the filling. Getting cavities filled could mean noticeable dots throughout your smile.
Resin Composite
Tooth-colored fillings are made of composite resin, which is a compound of ceramic and plastic materials. This advanced type of filling has many advantages over amalgam, including the following...
Veneers
Have you ever wondered how celebrities always have such perfect teeth? Well, in many cases, the secret behind the Hollywood smile is veneers! At JL Dental in Arnold, Missouri, we understand the importance of having a confident, attractive smile. That is why we offer a variety of cosmetic procedures, including veneers. If you want to turn your dream of a perfect smile into reality, then veneer treatment from JL Dental may be the right cosmetic solution for you.
Crowns
If your smile has been weakened by extensive decay, injury, or disease, you’ll be interested in dental crowns from JL Dental in Arnold, Missouri. With porcelain crowns, Drs. Jonathan and Laura Mears can strengthen damaged teeth to rebuild your smile. Did you know that thanks to modern materials, tooth repair today is easy, relatively fast, effective, and most of all, beautiful? We can provide attractive metal-free crowns for our patients, and no one will ever have to know that you’ve had dental work done. Read on to learn more about dental crowns in Arnold and how you can benefit from them!
Bridges
If you have damaged, missing, or severely decayed teeth in the front of your smile, you need a solution that considers aesthetics alongside a high-quality restoration. Porcelain crowns and bridges can do both! Dental porcelain is highly customizable to match your surrounding tooth enamel, and it also reflects light in the same way as your natural teeth. Once you’ve had a porcelain crown or bridge placed, it’ll be you and your dentist’s secret.
Dental Bonding
After an initial consultation with your cosmetic dentist in Arnold to ensure you are a candidate for dental bonding, you are scheduled for your appointment. Your teeth are cleaned before we place a weak acid on your tooth. This is necessary to open its pores to encourage a secure bond between the resin and the tooth. The acid is rinsed off, and we use a color guide to find the perfect shade for the resin.
Restorative Dentistry
After your deductible has been met, you’ll be eligible for a designated amount of coverage during a calendar year. Your coverage amount will depend on which plan you choose. If you require any restorative dentistry services, we’ll work with you to schedule appointments that allow you to take full advantage of your benefits year after year.

Root Canal Treatment
There are a variety of problems that can lead to tooth loss, including severe gum disease and dental injury. When the nerve also called the pulp inside of your tooth becomes infected or damaged by trauma, it can kill your tooth and require an extraction if left untreated. For a long time, extraction was the only solution for people with seriously damaged or diseased teeth, but root canal therapy offers today’s dental patients an alternative that allows them to keep their natural teeth instead. Some dental offices don’t offer root canal therapy, but JL Dental in Arnold, Missouri believes that it’s important for us to offer a full range of dental care treatments for your overall oral health. We can perform most root canal therapy right here in our Arnold office.

Deep Cleaning
Scaling and root planing are performed to clean the pockets in the gum tissue by removing the buildup. The procedure is also known as a deep cleaning, which includes two phases.

Dentures
JL Dental knows that choosing the right tooth replacement method is important. Everyone is different, and various factors including oral health, bone density, budget, and age all weigh into the decision. That’s why we offer various ways to replace your missing teeth at our Arnold, MO dental practice. Drs. Jonathan and Laura Mears are well-trained family dentists who are committed to helping patients of every age and stage of oral health find the dental care they need, and one way we do this is by offering dentures and partials. Whether you’re missing all of your teeth along an arch or need to replace just a few teeth, JL Dental can provide a dental prosthetic that will fit comfortably and return your smile to excellent function.

Dental Implants
We love serving the wiser members of our Arnold community, and to make it easier for you to come see us, we’re happy to offer 10% OFF of any treatment for senior patients (65+). Whether you need a routine checkup and cleaning, want to update some dental work, or are interested in getting dental implants, you’ll always save when you come to see us. To redeem this offer, be sure to mention it when you book your next appointment.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
For implant-retained dentures, we’ll place as many of the titanium posts as needed into your jawbone during an oral surgery. In some cases, we can also install a temporary denture on the same day. After the implants have fused to your jawbone, we’ll place a more permanent denture that allows you to reap the rewards of having the sturdiest method of tooth replacement available.
Flap Surgery
Tooth Extractions
Depending on the nature of your tooth, either a simple or surgical extraction will be performed. Simple extractions are performed when the tooth is clearly visible and therefore easier to remove. Surgical extractions are done when the tooth is trapped underneath gum tissue and therefore requires a surgical incision in order to access. Once the tooth is clearly visible, our office uses a dental elevator to gently remove the tooth from the periodontal ligament holding it in place. After it’s been removed, a pair of dental forceps are used to firmly grasp the tooth and pull it from the jaw. Don’t worry, local anesthetic is provided to remove any potential discomfort. Those who fear dental treatment can also take advantage of oral conscious sedation to put themselves at ease.
Bone Grafting
Many patients need bone grafting before their placement surgery, but it isn’t always necessary. Your dental implants require adequate bone support to succeed. If you have areas of weakened bone, you may require the additional treatment, which will add thickness to your jaw using material from a donor or another area of your body. Although it will add another step to your plan, if we recommend the procedure, it’s crucial to the viability of your new smile. We’ll review a CT scan of your jaw to determine if your bone has enough density to support your implant posts.

Orthodontics
As your child grows, he or she will go through various phases of oral development and children’s dentistry. When their adult molars come in, we’ll place dental sealants for added cavity protection. Fluoride treatments will be used to strengthen their teeth, and we’ll keep track of their development to determine if orthodontics are needed.
Braces
Braces – There’s no doubt that braces can correct everything from small gaps to severely rotated teeth with ease. Usually, patients can expect to spend anywhere from $3,000 to $8,000, depending on the orthodontic issue at hand. The shade and shape of your teeth will remain the same, however, requiring additional cosmetic treatments.

Teeth Whitening
Unlike over-the-counter alternatives, professional teeth whitening treatments are custom-made for each patient. Step number one? Finding out the root of the problem. Here are a few of the most common causes of dental discoloration...
Cosmetic Dentistry
Say your car has hail damage. Your body shop offers you two options. In the first, they will remove the dent, but they won’t repaint the damaged areas. The second option includes a paint touchup that will ensure no one ever knows there was a dent. Both options technically fix the problem, but most people would prefer the second option. When it comes to dental restorations at JL Dental, we always encourage our patients to invest in treatment materials that match their smiles, recreating a flawless, healthy smile in function and appearance. To restore both the form and function of your damaged or decayed smile, our team uses the most innovative metal-free, tooth-colored dental restoration materials. If you want to learn more about our restorative and cosmetic dentistry options, call our dental office in Arnold, MO to schedule a treatment consultation today. We look forward to hearing from you.
