We believe our patients are more than just a set of teeth. That’s where the name “BOCA” originated. Translating to “Mouth” in Spanish, we want our patients to know that we are looking at more than simply teeth. Our treatment of our patients both in and out of the clinical chair are all encompassing. We take the entire being into account when we design our care– the physical and the emotional. Our approach to treatment encompasses the entire person. Our intention is to nurture the smiles and souls of our patients.
It’s not just smile-care. It’s self-care.

Smile care meets conscious care. Sustainability is a core mantra at BOCA. We aim to be conscious and intentional with every decision we make, and that extends to our carbon footprint.
Eco-Friendly + Sustainable
-
From our Ojook line of zero-waste oral care products to our recycling protocol and paperless, impressionless studio, we strive to reduce our impact on the earth wherever possible. Our studio minimizes the use of non-reusable materials while maintaining the highest degree of sterilization. Whenever possible, biodegradable, compostable, recyclable or reusable materials are used.
We also minimize our emissions and carbon footprint by keeping the majority of our processes and transport local with an on-site lab.
Every day, we have choices. We can spend our money at big corporations or we can choose to support an up and coming local artist, try a new family-run restaurant and shop at local boutiques.
Support + Lots of Local Love

Every day, we have choices.
At BOCA, we want a world where local businesses grow and artists and creatives thrive. We are proud to support them with our time, money and attention.
In a world of corporate dentistry chains and big group orthodontic practices, BOCA believes in keeping it local. Created by Dr. Erin Fraundorf, a Saint Louis University orthodontic graduate and Ladue resident, BOCA was designed with the Saint Louis community in mind. Having experience in all of the aforementioned styles of orthodontic practices, Dr. Erin was frustrated with the factory-feel of practices pumping through hundreds of patients a day and patients being treated like a dollar sign. She created BOCA in a boutique style to give patients the care and attention they deserve with a doctor committed to them and their community.
You may see touches of other local businesses throughout our office, online content and social media. We love our patients and our community so whenever possible, we practice what we preach. We believe in supporting small businesses and local entrepreneurs.
