With proper evaluation and diagnosis, Dr. Frith feels that the conditions of craniofacial pain, sleep apnea, and snoring can be successfully treated with non-surgical therapies. It is his goal to return patients back to where they can breathe, sleep, heal, and live again.

“I enjoy hearing patients say I’ve not only improved their smiles, I’ve changed their lives.”

He feels that being St. Louis’s leader in accredited cosmetic dentistry gives patients confidence, and that being St. Louis’ first Diplomate in craniofacial pain and Craniofacial Dental Sleep Medicine gives patients solutions for a new beginning.

A firm believer that accreditation allows a good dentist to become a great one, Dr. Firth is accredited through the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, setting the very highest standard in cosmetic dentistry. He feels that patients feel comfortable knowing their dentist has achieved excellence in virtually every type of cosmetic case, and less than 1% of dentists nationwide can offer that.

The process has taught him to create smiles that are both attractive and healthy. He understands that many elements make great dental health and how to put them together to create a masterpiece for the patient.

“A smile is a reflection of who you are. Improving it often means a better self-image, and even the confidence to become more successful – in your career or in your personal life.”

Dr. Frith is also a Fellow in the Academy of General Dentistry.

Dentistry, also known as Dental and Oral Medicine, is a branch of medicine that consists of the study, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases, disorders, and conditions of the oral cavity. Dentists diagnose and treat dental issues and help patients develop better oral hygiene regimens. They clean teeth, correct bite issues, perform surgeries and extractions, and perform other duties to ensure that the teeth and mouth are healthy.
