    Okay; I'm a wimp when it comes to going to the dentist. Dr. Rea was compassionate and her work is beautiful. She's my dentist now.

    Dr. Rea has been the best dentist I've been to in the greater Saint Louis Area since I moved here in 2008!

    Dr. Rea is the best! Knowledgeable and adept at putting me at ease - we could chat all day if there wasn't work to be done!

    Like Carolyn N. said, I can't give a dentist 5 stars HA!…read more My wait time was very minimal, the lobby and rooms were all clean and tidy, the staff is friendly, and they answered all of my questions politely and professionally. I pay out of pocket, so I'm not sure how insurance handling is, but I find their prices to be reasonable for the services I am receiving.

    Paying for Pain…read more First, I received a crown despite having pain or complaints. After placement, I experienced severe pain for several days. Because Dr. Schmidt is only in the office one day per week, I saw another dentist twice for bite adjustments without relief and was told they could not proceed further since they did not place the crown. After waiting nearly another week, Dr. Schmidt determined a root canal was needed through the crown, requiring multiple appointments over several weeks. After recovery, I gave Dr. Schmidt a second chance months later for a filling. I was told it would not be near the nerve so I wouldn't experience anything like I did with the crown. After the procedure, I had ongoing pain and difficulty chewing. Adjustments did not resolve the issue, and I was told the filling was done right, but they could redo it. Across both treatments, I experienced significant pain that was not present beforehand, resulting in lack of sleep, inability to eat or drink normally, days of missed work, and multiple appointments. I declined further treatment and sought care elsewhere. I paid for the crown and root canal. Then received a bill for the filling without detailed explanation. I requested it be waived since it left me in pain / difficulty eating and I would need it redone but would not do so in this office after multiple bad experiences. The request was declined.

Dr. Whitson, Stacy and Erin were all delightful to be around, they truly care about their patients and have made me feel like I have been with them for years. I strongly recommend this group to anyone looking!!

    I'm doing the happy dance! Found my new dentist and his name…read moreis Dr. Whitson! I went in with a dental emergency - as a new patient. These folks didn't know me from anyone; no long standing patient relationship; no obligation to me at all. And yet, they treated me with care and consideration, getting me in as soon as possible to eliminate my severe pain. From the moment I called, I knew I'd called the right place. Heather's smile comes right through the phone at you. From the Front Desk ladies to the Dental Assistants and Hygenists on the team, this is the happiest dental office I've ever visited. Thank you Heather, Laura, Jessica and Mary Ann!! At Concord Dental, everyone smiles, looks you in the face, treats you with care. That puts you right at ease from the moment you walk in the door. Oh...and I only spent about 6 or 7 minutes in the waiting room - another FIRST for any dentist I've ever seen - so I didn't even have to wait long enough for my usual dentist-related anxiety to pop up on me. Now I don't know about you, but I do NOT like those shots and I was petrified, especially given the pain I had been in for the past couple of days during the holiday. I am, in fact, terrified of needles, but I barely felt Dr. Whitson's "stick" and I was numb in no time. (whew!) He fixed my pain, fixed my tooth (really well) and had me out the door in about 35 minutes. Dr. Whitson seems pretty precise to, because there wasn't a lot of "post-fill drilling" like most dentists. He just did it right from the beginning! Not only was Dr. Whitson attentive, gentle and careful, he proved to be very conservative in his treatment plan. He didn't go for the easy "gouge" but instead went for the best treatment for me in the moment. For which I'm very grateful - and astonished, as most dentists don't take that "high" road. To top it off, they offered me several ways to even SAVE money in my payment options with them - very patient centered thinking! (never had a dentist do that in the last 15 years!) If you're looking for a dentist in the Sunset Hills area (or nearby - believe me, they're WORTH THE DRIVE - then Concord Dental is Your Place too!! Concord Dental is THE PLACE FOR YOU If you want: * amazing client service by folks who treat you like their guest * an anxiety free dental environment * a relatively pain free dental experience * a conservative, yet "best steps" approach to your dental treatment plan * a very competitive fee structure * a dental team who thinks YOUR time is as valuable as theirs * money saving payment options Check them out and make your appointment today! http://www.concorddental.net/ (In case you're a skeptic, I'm not a friend, family member or even prior acquaintance of anyone at Concord Dental...and I'm not compensated in any way for this endorsement. But they certainly DO have a new regular patient in me!)

    This practice changed ownership, and since Dr Schertzer and team took it over it has been…read moreincredibly unprofessional and disappointing. My family and I were long-time patients who came in for regular checkups and additional visits, yet multiple small cavities were completely missed. Those same cavities have now progressed into large, invasive procedures that could have been avoided with proper care and attention. What's even more frustrating is the lack of accountability. We have called repeatedly to ask how these issues were missed while we were actively being seen, and no one will return our calls or provide an explanation. This is, without question, the worst dental experience I've ever had. Between missed diagnoses, poor communication, and unprofessional management, I would strongly caution others to avoid this practice and look elsewhere for competent, reliable dental care.

    Overall this office has been the average dental experience. I was in need of new retainers recently…read moreand asked for some to be made. The office took measurements and sent off for them. When the retainers (looked a lot like invisalign) came back, the top one didn't properly fit. I was told to try them out and that they can be uncomfortable initially, so I did. It was a struggle to get the top one on and even worse/more painful getting it off. The retainer ended up breaking. I took it back and was give a replacement, which also had the same issues and also broke. So again, I went back and asked to have my upper teeth reassessed and a proper one made. Instead of correcting the issue, I was given 5 of the improperly fitting ones...it would have taken less than 5 min for them to use their machine and try again, but instead they ignored my issues. Most expensive piece of plastic that doesn't work that I've ever purchased. Won't return.

    This dental practice "fits me like a glove". From the moment I entered the office the front desk…read morehappily greeted me and my daughter. I've been thinking implants would be the answer to my lost teeth but the dentist explained her plan of care for me and made sure I understood. The patient teaching was outstanding. From the Xrays to the temporary crowns, they insured I was comfortable which reduced my anxiety. The dental hygienist made sure I didn't feel pain during the deep scaling. In terms of payment plans I was approved on the spot for Care Credit. After my treatment I was given products to care for my teeth and gums, as well as written instructions to follow. I want to thank Dr Favor, the Hygienist McKenna the dental assistant Shanya who took my X-rays and put on my temporary crowns. I look forward to my dental prosthetic and ability to eat different foods. . Everybody was patient and respectful. I never felt rushed. They strive for excellence and it was met. I'd give them a 10/10 and now look forward to continuing my dental care with Aspen Dental in Melville

She asked for something a little stronger for the pain just to get her by until the next day because it was going to get pulled. She was refused. The "dentist" was not helpful when we asked questions we was given half answers or just totally disregarded. Do not recommend this place AT ALL!
