Why Choose the Toal Method? The Passion Behind the Process.

In the heart of St. Louis, Maureen Toal took her first steps into dentistry alongside her father, a visionary with over 55 years of experience as a dentist himself. As a dental assistant in his practice, she learned firsthand the transformative power of comprehensive care and patient-centered treatment. That early experience ignited a lifelong mission—to make high-quality dental care predictable, accessible, and stress-free for both patients and providers. Today, with over 30 years of experience herself, Dr. Maureen Toal has refined that vision into Toal Method, a groundbreaking approach that redefines modern dentistry.

The Philosophy Behind Toal Method

At its core, Toal Method is about simplifying dentistry while enhancing patient outcomes. Traditional approaches often segment oral care into separate procedures, leading to prolonged treatment times and increased anxiety for patients. Toal Method challenges this by:

• Treating the mouth as a single organ system – Addressing all dental issues holistically rather than in isolation.
• Focusing on comprehensive treatment planning – Removing infections efficiently in just one or two visits.
• Utilizing six-handed dentistry – Reducing stress for both dentists and patients while increasing procedural efficiency.
• Connecting oral and systemic health – Implementing proper antibiotic therapy for safer, more predictable care.
• Expanding treatment capabilities – Utilizing independent contractors to provide specialized anesthesia services and cater to diverse patient needs.

Transforming the Patient Experience

For many patients, Toal Method has been life-changing. Those who once feared the dentist now experience care in a comfortable, stress-free setting.

• A former Marine who suffered from severe dental phobia due to childhood trauma had avoided dental care for years. Toal Method’s compassionate approach helped him receive necessary treatment in a reassuring environment.
• Families struggling with insurance challenges for special needs care often feel pushed from one provider to another. Toal Method provided real solutions, giving access to comprehensive care where other providers had failed.
• Medically compromised patients. One patient, previously hospitalized after a reaction to novocaine, underwent safe and successful dental procedures with Toal Method’s specialized anesthesia techniques.

These stories highlight the profound impact of Toal Method—providing safe, effective, and compassionate dental care to those who need it most.

The Impact on Dental Professionals

Dentists who implement Toal Method find their practices transformed. By adopting six-handed dentistry and utilizing magnification, they can perform more procedures in less time with greater precision. The method also alleviates stress for practitioners and staff by streamlining workflows and ensuring predictable patient outcomes.

Furthermore, the ability to provide interdisciplinary treatment in fewer visits not only benefits patients but also increases practice efficiency and revenue. By treating complex cases comprehensively, dentists can expand their service offerings and provide care to patient populations that were previously underserved.
