Below is a picture of a complex case Dr. St. Clair completed which changed his patient’s life.

“I am a firm believer that the 'standard of care' is often not enough. I take a lot of continuing education, both to keep me stimulated in my profession and also to be able to provide my patients with the finest dental care. I think technology is great, but I am rarely the first to 'jump on the bandwagon' with any particular new gadget. I believe that doing the most conservative treatment is great, as long as it provides a good long-term result, and does not increase the risk for more complex dentistry in the future.” - Dr. St. Clair
