The services provided were at a moderate price and scheduling was easy. I started with a retainer, braces, retainer again and ended with Invisalign. The office was always easy to schedule and quick to return, they also offer texting to schedule which is really convenient. The best part of my experience was paying for my Invisalign in one lump payment and then being able to freely come in as I needed. Also, the appointments were quick and to the point. I got all my questions answered and never had any issues!

My oldest is completing her braces process here…read more Pros: love the location, across from The Galleria. Park on the street, in the parking garage, or in the large lot nearby. I was really impressed that the first visit was FREE with no contract, and they do a state-of-the-art exam with full and thorough x-rays as well as photos. They then give you options (which for my daughter was metal braces, ceramic braces, or Invisalign). Office is large and clean with a TV in the waiting room for the kids. I was worried about cost, but with a down payment, they then offer monthly payments that are very manageable. Most of the hygienists (most of the people who work there, by the way, are young, attractive, and blond - as an HR person I can't help but notice these things) are very good and very nice. I am also very pleased with how quickly my daughter's teeth are changing. Appointments are generally quick and easy. Cons: some of the staff/people who work there could be friendlier. It can be hard to get an appointment when you want one; they book up quickly. All in all, we recommend this place. I'm considering going through the process myself when my daughter is finished!

I shopped around and found out there can be as much as a 2000 difference between some orthodontics. The doctor and staff are very professional and knowledgeable. Office is clean.

Try them out for a free consultation and I think you will be very satisfied.

But until I met Dr. Heidi, I never had dental work done without anxiety and pain. For that reason, I've always avoided dental work for as long as possible. Dr. Heidi and her staff have changed my opinion of dental treatment. Their focus is on my comfort and health. I never feel scolded or punished, or as if my pain is an annoyance to be rushed past or ignored. For the first time in my life, I feel comfortable making and keeping dental appointments. I finally got the braces I had needed for 3 1/2 decades, sought treatment for night grinding and jaw pain, and started getting regular dental checkups.

South St. Louis Dental Group - Where You're More Than Just a Smile…read more If you're not going to South St. Louis Dental Group, you are making a huge mistake--and your teeth probably know it. Let's start with Dr. Joern. The man is an absolute gem. Not only is he incredibly skilled and gentle, but he also remembers every single detail about my life--even when it's been months between visits. He doesn't just care about your teeth, he cares about you. It's like seeing an old friend who happens to have a DDS. And then there's Dawn, the Queen of Clean Teeth. I will wait as long as it takes for an opening with her. She's that good. She makes cleanings fly by with her kindness, humor, and freakishly gentle hands. If you're nervous about dental visits, Dawn will change your mind. The front desk staff? Angels. Literal angels. I've shown up on the wrong day (more than once, let's be honest), and instead of judgment, I get warm laughs and a magical "don't worry, we'll fit you in." Who does that anymore? They do. Oh--and shout-out to Rhea, who is the absolute go-to for tooth whitening. She made the process comfortable, effective, and honestly... kind of fun? My teeth looked amazing, and I left glowing. Bottom line: South St. Louis Dental Group isn't just the best dental office in the area--it's a place where you feel welcome, seen, and genuinely cared for. Amazing people, exceptional care, and the kind of place that makes you look forward to going to the dentist. (Yes, seriously.) Stop scrolling and make your appointment already. Your teeth--and your soul--will thank you.

I want to start by saying that my experiences with the dentist and dental hygienists at this office…read morehave always been excellent. Unfortunately, my interactions with the reception staff have consistently been the opposite--they often come across as rude, which has made me feel uncomfortable on multiple occasions. Back in October 2025, I had an appointment scheduled for a cavity filling. When I arrived, I was told it had been canceled and that I should have been notified. However, I never received any notice--aside from a text message sent an hour before my appointment reminding me to arrive. When I explained this, another receptionist, who was assisting someone else at the time, shouted across the room, "I CALLED YOU AND LEFT YOU A VOICEMAIL!" The tone was unnecessarily harsh and unprofessional. As I tried to reschedule, I also felt rushed into choosing a new date. This wasn't my first negative experience with the front desk, and it ultimately led me to switch dental offices that same month. I did attempt to share my concerns with management, but nothing seemed to improve. To make matters worse, when my records were supposed to be transferred to my new provider, the wrong records were sent. Today, I'm writing this review because I received a reminder text for an appointment on May 8th--despite no longer being a patient there and never scheduling such an appointment. I called the office to clarify and spoke with someone named Molly. When I explained the situation, she responded with a sarcastic tone and interrupted me as I tried to say I was no longer a patient. She then abruptly ended the call by saying, "Well, I'm sure someone else will be very grateful for this appointment. Thank you and take care." I'm genuinely unsure what prompted this pattern of dismissive and unprofessional behavior, but it has been consistently frustrating. While the clinical staff are wonderful, the front desk experience has caused unnecessary stress and ultimately drove me to seek care elsewhere.

Voted best in St. Louis by her peers...this is absolutely legit. A treasure to the region and many of the "other guys" could learn a lot from these folks. The only surprise was super reasonable pricing for such quality work. Oh yeah, despite being the "champ" of the Gateway city, absolutely no ego which is very refreshing. My only regret was that I didn't come to this doctor sooner.
