Dentistry With TLC
Anna Smith, DMD:
Practice Profile Page

Excellent customer service and great dentistry!! I’ve had multiple procedures done at this office and every single time has been top notch. I recently picked up my sleep appliance and I love it!! I have slept significantly better for the last 13 nights and am more well rested all through the day. Regardless of what the haters might say in their reviews of this business I won’t go anywhere else for my dentistry needs.

I have been a patient of Dr. Anna Smith for several years now and have absolutely no complaints. I am not afraid of going to a dentist and I have been to quite a few, most good, a few lousy. Dr. Smith and her Staff are caring and courteous. Because of my lack of attention over the years to my teeth, some of the treatment I have received has been a bit costly but I blame myself, not the dentist. If you enjoy pain free dental treatment, Dentistry With TLC is the place to go. And no, I am not being paid to say this.

I have been a patient with TLC Dentistry for almost 30 years. Started going there when Dr. Larry Crocker had this practice. I remember when Dr. Anna Smith was brought on staff. After Dr. Crocker retired I became Dr. Smith’s patient. I have had nothing but excellent care from her. I have needed several root canals, my teeth were never strong. I even opted for a dental implant after a tooth had to be pulled after another dentist cracked the tooth during a root canal. This was not Dr. Smith who damaged the tooth. They have always presented cost information after having conferred with my insurance company before I was asked if I wanted to go ahead with treatment. And their calculation of my out of pocket cost has always been accurate. I have never felt pressured to have a procedure that day, except for when I had severe tooth pain and I knew I needed something done to relieve it. There have been several times when I chose to postpone or refuse treatment and all that was said to me was that when I was ready or if I change my mind I was welcome to call them. I have been offered the oral cancer screening with the special light equipment and have never felt pressure to proceed after I decline it. The word NO is an acceptable answer in this practice. If you have a young dependent or a young adult that you are concerned about agreeing to an expensive procedure without your knowledge please let that individual know to include you in that decision, and also the staff, so you have control over what gets done. Yes the patient is treated without anyone else in the room, but you can be included in deciding what needs to be done and what expense you are able to accept. This statement is made in response to other posts on this site that were extremely negative.

AWESOME! I have been TRYING to use a Cpap for several years. I hated it and just could not adjust to it. My best friend in St. Charles, MO told me about TLC and an appliance that fit in the mouth for sleep apnea. I live in MS and made an appointment to see if I was a candidate for this…thank goodness, I was. I have had my appliance for three months now and am sooooooooo glad I made the decision to switch. My Cpap is now in Cpap graveyard!!!! Thank you TLCAWESOME! I have been TRYING to use a Cpap for several years. I hated it and just could not adjust to it.

From the time I walked in, I was warmly greeted by Kim. She was patient and friendly with me, even though, I didn’t want to fill-out any paperwork. My hygienist Angie, did a great job and I experienced minimal discomfort during the procedure. Abi, also did a great job polishing my teeth and keeping me at ease. The part we all hate “paying the bill.” Jessica did a great job explaining my payment options and giving me all the information, I needed to make a decision. To the whole team great job!

The technology at Dentistry With TLC is years ahead of the other dentists I have been to in the St. Louis area. Last time I had to have a tooth fixed it took my old dentist 2 appointments to do the root canal, one appointment to make my temporary crown and 2 more appointments to set my permanent crown. I took 5 days off work all together. Dr. Smith did this all at ONE appointment in just about 2 HOURS!!! I just can’t believe it, and she cost LESS than my last dentist. I’m taking my daughter to Dr. Smith to get fast braces because Dr. Smith is the best in the St. Louis area and the fast braces cost LESS than my sons regular braces. Why would you go anywhere else when it cost less, saves me time and Dr. Smith is beautiful, kind and smart to boot! My whole family drives from St. Louis to Godfrey to see Dr. Smith and I recommend you give TLC a try!

Everyone here does everything in their power to make sure you are absolutely as comfortable as possible at any given moment! They go above and beyond to give you great treatment and make the office seem homey. Hygienist Angie even got some residual glue from my braces off my teeth even though that is not something she even has to do! 100% consider coming here!

My experience was awesome from hello to goodbye! Benny at the front desk was very sweet and made sure I understood all paperwork. No standing in line here! She comes out and sits with you to explain. My hygienist, Reggie, was amazing! We all know the dentist is not always a pleasant place to be but she was very considerate and took time to explain everything as we went along. Dr. Smith was just as sweet and helpful as everyone else. Even Rick the finance guy was very pleasant. I felt no pressure at all and he gave me very clear options. No surprises at check out or big bills in the mail. And the cherry on top is the hours. I work bankers hours but I do NOT like to use vacation or sick days for things like this. I get how important they are but let me be honest; MY vacations days are for toes in sand and sick days are for playing hooky! Lol. A 6p appointment was a very pleasant surprise! I’ll definitely be back…and not just because I have more cavities to get filled

My husband hates to go to the dentist, but when a local dentist messed up his crown for the THIRD time and wanted to be paid AGAIN to fix it, we said “Enough!” Dr. Anna Smith came to the rescue! She worked my husband into the schedule and removed the poorly made crown, cleaned up the decay that had already started, performed a root canal, and put on a porcelain crown – all in one appointment. He never hurt! The staff was very kind and helpful and called to check on him the next day. Dentistry With TLC will take care of all of our future dental needs. You should schedule with Dr. Smith today!

I cannot say enough about this place. Dr. Smith and her staff are excellent! They are all kind, and treat you as family. Their compassion is outstanding! Angie my hygienist is gentle and so sweet. I love all those girls in the office. I like others hate going to the dentist…however these wonderful people make me actually enjoy my time there. My husband was recently injured and they reached out to me to offer support and prayers. They sent a card, and when I called to reschedule my appointment, they asked how he and I were doing, and when I came in for my appointment, they actually came into the waiting room to see me personally!!! If you aren’t going to this dentist…YOU SHOULD BE!! Love you guys and thank you for taking such good care of me!

Wow! Talk about impressive! Not only is the entire staff friendly and welcoming, but they all seem to genuinely CARE about their patients. The technology in dentistry and orthodontics is incredible; very current and cutting edge. Dentistry with TLC even has help options for patients with sleep apnea! Who would have guessed!?! Their extended hours make it easy to find an appointment time that works best with my schedule, too. By far, the BEST in the St. Louis area!

My kids are no strangers to going to the dentist. They had their first visit with the team at Dentistry with TLC and Dr. Smith. When it was all over they were all smiles and said that they loved their hygienist that took care of them and they loved Dr. Smith. On our way home my son asked when his next appointment was going to be because he really wants to come back. Thanks everyone and Dr. Smith for making their visit amazing! Everyone should go to Dentistry with TLC!
