Jane Otto Family Dentistry, located at 11521 Gravois Rd, Sappington, MO 63126, has been providing comprehensive dental care to families in the St. Louis area since 1998. The practice is spearheaded by Dr. Jane Otto, who earned her Masters of Associated Medical Sciences from the University of Illinois-Chicago and her Doctor of Dental Medicine from Southern Illinois University. Prior to opening her own practice, Dr. Otto worked for the Veteran's Administration in Los Angeles and performed anaplastology at Jefferson Barracks Military Post in St. Louis. The clinic is known for its patient-centered approach, focusing on quality, personalized service at an affordable cost. They are committed to not recommending unnecessary treatments and instead work with patients to develop individualized dental maintenance programs, empowering them with the facts needed to make informed decisions about their oral health. The practice operates in a relaxed and friendly environment, prioritizing patient comfort and long-term oral health. Jane Otto Family Dentistry offers a wide range of general dentistry services, including: General Dentistry: Dental exams, professional teeth cleanings, oral cancer screenings, digital X-rays, and panoramic X-rays. Periodontics: Periodontal screening and maintenance, and scaling and root planing for gum disease treatment. Restorative Dentistry: Root canal therapy, amalgam and composite fillings, extractions (as a last resort), crowns and bridges (tooth-colored or gold), and partial and full dentures. Beyond patient care, Dr. Jane Otto and her sister, Mary, who serves as the front-desk associate, have demonstrated a strong commitment to environmental sustainability. In 2008, when they moved to their current location, they extensively remodeled and updated the facility to be more environmentally friendly and energy-efficient. This included installing better-insulating roofs, insulation on existing walls, countertops made from recycled glass, and an amalgam separator to prevent mercury from fillings from entering groundwater. They also implemented practices like recycling, using green cleaning products, and reusing furniture. Dr. Otto is actively involved in the dental community, holding memberships in the American Dental Association, the Missouri Dental Association, and the Greater St. Louis Dental Society, where she is currently the President. She also mentors dental students in the Delta Sigma Delta professional dental fraternity of Southern Illinois University. Patient testimonials frequently praise Dr. Otto's gentle approach, trustworthiness, and the friendly, professional atmosphere of the office.
