They did an evaluation and the full cavity filling in less than an hour. The laser was used instead of the traditional grinder and there was literally zero pain. My dentist was Dr. Julia and her assistant was Debie.

They don't deserve your time and most definitely not your money. I would not recommend anyone goes here.

The smells of the office, the pain, the condescending remarks about my teeth, the anxiety about where the money will come from. Anything and everything about even considering visiting a dentist makes me want to take a double dose of xanax. After visiting a few dentist with no such luck in the past 2 years I asked my doctor who I trust immensely if he had any recommendations and he gave me Dr. Zora Hanko's name/number. It took me a few days to finally call but when I did I was surprised that i was almost immediately put at ease by the incredibly kind receptionist. I briefly told her my concerns and the level of anxiety I generally have and she actually listened, took note and genuinely seemed to care. This morning I woke up 4 hours before my appointment due to an already increased build up of anxiety. It turns out none of this anxiety was necessary. After sitting in the waiting room for only about 5 minutes I was brought back to the exam room by the dental hygienist. I can not remember her name but she was so sweet and kind. Then Dr. Hanko came in and since she knew how anxious I was, instead of getting straight to work she sat down next to the chair and asked me to tell her about my self, what my concerns with my teeth are and what she could do to make my appointments easier. When I was giving her my information she listened, asked questions when necessary and not once made me feel judged. Then she asked if she could take a look in my mouth. Part way through her examining my teeth I realized for the first time ever I was sitting in a dentist chair and NOT shaking with anxiety. I left the appointment with a plan of action for my crazy teeth, another appointment and absolutely no anxiety in sight. Best. Feeling. Ever.

My family and I used to go to Wydown dental ever since I was a child. But with going off to med…read moreschool and my family moving out of state, I've been looking for a dentist after I moved back to St. Louis. I would have gone back to Wydown, but turns out my dentist retired. So I thought this would be a good opportunity to try a new location. Scheduling can be done online and they email you the new patient paperwork ahead of time so that you don't have to do to it when you get there. For the new patient appointment, they are very thorough with your exam. Everything from gross examination to full x-rays, I was impressed that they checked for lip melanomas, any lesions, and even lymph node swelling in the neck area. Maybe this is standard for new patients for all dentists lol. I really appreciated that someone came in and showed the outline of how much everything would be before continuing with any cleaning or treatments you may need. My actual dentist was kind enough to explain everything on imaging and his impressions of my oral hygiene. I feel like I learned so much about dental anatomy/pathology in the 15 minutes he spent with me. Everyone at the facility was kind and I didn't feel like they were rushing at all. I'm so happy to have found this location!

Easily the worst dental experience I've had in 20 years. To wit:…read more -They called and cancelled my appointment via voicemail because of what turned out to be a mistake on THEIR end. I had to call back to reinstate the appointment, and they weren't apologetic. -The X-ray tech was terrible. The X-rays took forever and hurt, and the tech was not apologetic in the least. The experience left a literal sore in my mouth that took days to clear up. -They tried to convince me that I needed gingival planing and couldn't do regular cleaning. I've been getting regular cleanings every six months for decades and brush and floss regularly. Notably, when I got to the office I had seen two people leave and BOTH were scheduling gingival planing. After looking into the PE company that owns them I saw recurring accusations that this is a common grift. -When I asked if I could just do a regular cleaning for now and come back for the gingival planing the doctor told me he couldn't do that or he'd get in trouble with "the board." I left, went back to my old dentist who had no concerns about the state of my gums and just did a regular cleaning. If you like ineptitude and grift, this is the place for you. If you want a decent experience with an honest dentist, go somewhere else.

I've been here 3 times now. The online new-patient form saves a lot of time for paperwork when you…read morefirst arrive. They also have an online appointment form (which I received a call-back within the same day!) The inside of the office is super clean, welcoming, and professional. The front staff is very nice as well. I loved the two different hygienists there (Debbie and Linda). Both times, I felt like my routine cleaning were through and comfortable. They take the time to let you know what they're doing and educate you on HOW to maintain good hygiene tips. I've learned so much from just one visit. They also give you little goodie bags with a toothbrush, floss and tooth paste after each cleaning visit. Although the time to get into the back is virtually no wait time, when you're seated in the operation chair it can take anywhere from 15 min to over 30 minutes to get actually start the appointment. Last time, I was waiting in the back for 30 minutes. There are two doctors in this facility and most of the time, the doctors are working on multiple patients at once. The dental assistants seem to be attentive and also friendly. I will say that both doctors are little more stoic and down to business. Since my visits were just to get fillings, I can only speak to that. The doctors are very attentive to when they think you're experiencing pain so that they can give you more numbing to make you more comfortable. Like most dental offices, they are kind of pushy to get you to commit to another appointment (cleaning or otherwise). Not sure how other dental care costs compare but one filling without insurance racks up to $200, and with my insurance I still had to pay $77 out of pocket (something about deductibles). Last time, two cavities cost me $82. Tip: They will schedule a cleaning and not leave time for you to see the doctor! Make sure you make it clear that you want both since they book their appointments for cleaning and other visits separately. I had to learn the hard way and have to come back for a follow up visit TWICE... (why I'm taking away 1 star).
