About Us

Your Partners in Achieving Optimal Oral Health

Whole-Health Minded

At Foley Dental Group, we pride ourselves on fulfilling our mission to go beyond traditional dentistry and truly help patients achieve optimal oral and overall health. Led by Dr. Andrea Foley, our team is committed to delivering comprehensive, whole-health minded oral health care that focuses on treating the root causes of dental issues, not just the symptoms.

Oral Health Beyond Traditional Dentistry

In our practice, we are proud to provide excellent clinical care, which of course includes traditional dental services like cleanings, fillings, crowns, and extractions. However, we also understand that the mouth provides a window to a person's overall health, and often we can identify broader health concerns, some of which patients aren't aware.

In addition to the traditional dental services we provide, we also incorporate and discuss the following with all of our patients:

the role of chronic inflammation in oral and systemic health
blood pressure
cardiovascular screening
functional evaluation of the bite
functional evaluation of the tongue, lip, and oral-facial muscles
sleep disordered breathing and sleep apnea
the role of nutrition in oral health
supporting a healthy microbiome

A Modern Approach to Dentistry

We believe in staying at the forefront of dental advancements in education and technology to ensure our patients receive the highest quality care. With state-of-the-art technology in every operatory, our commitment to modern dentistry enables us to deliver optimal outcomes and involve the patient in the process of achieving optimal oral health. Some of the technology routinely utilized during patient care includes the following:

digital xrays
digital 3D CBCT imaging
digital scanning in lieu of trays/impressions
intraoral cameras
3D printing
same day digital crowns
virtual smile simulation
laser gum therapy
injection free laser tooth decay removal

No two patients are the same, and our team is equipped to provide a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs. Our goal is to make visiting the dentist a positive, collaborative experience where you feel comfortable, cared for, informed, and in control of your oral health.

Trusted Expertise and Dedication

With a team of highly skilled dentists, hygienists, and staff, Foley Dental Group brings together a wealth of expertise and a shared commitment to excellence. The majority of our dentists are either former or current faculty members at SIU School of Dental Medicine, ensuring that our patients receive the highest level of care backed by years of experience and education.
