TL;DR
Stone Falls Dental Care is a general and family practice in O’Fallon with a strong cosmetic and restorative side. Dr. Prane provides preventive care, fillings, crowns, bridges, implant-supported restorations, dentures, root canals, extractions, Invisalign and gum treatment, along with KöR whitening, Perio Protect and oral appliances for sleep apnea. Every treatment begins with an exam and a plan explained to you before you agree to it.
How does Stone Falls Dental Care approach treatment?
With a complete plan built from a thorough exam, and the most conservative treatment that will do the job. The practice has served patients across the Metro East and St. Louis since 2004, and its stated aim is “dental health care” over “disease care”: keeping teeth healthy so that less ever needs fixing.
Dr. Carleigh Prane leads that planning. She earned her dental degree with honors from Southern Illinois University on a full Navy scholarship, completed the Navy’s Advanced Education in General Dentistry residency, and served on active duty, reaching the rank of Lieutenant Commander. Her later study at the Dawson Academy concentrated on the bite and the jaw joints, the groundwork for crowns, veneers and larger rebuilds. Her full story is on the Meet Dr. Prane page.
Which treatments have pages of their own?
Three treatments sit outside the usual groups. KöR whitening is a professional deep-bleaching system strong enough to lighten tetracycline stains. Perio Protect uses custom trays to carry prescribed medication under the gums at home, alongside in-office care for gum disease. And as a certified local member of the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine, Dr. Prane fits custom oral appliances for snoring and sleep apnea once a sleep physician has made the diagnosis.
Two more pages cover moments rather than treatments: what to do in a dental emergency, and how we help patients who feel anxious about the dentist. Practical questions about insurance, hours and first visits are answered on the patient FAQ.
