    This was our first time at this dentist, and we were very impressed! My husband and I had…read moreappointments that were supposed to be staggered since we had our baby with us, but there was a scheduling mix-up and they ended up overlapping. I had to hold our baby throughout my entire two-hour appointment, and everyone was incredibly kind, patient, and helpful about it. They made what could have been a stressful situation so much easier. On top of that, the exam and cleaning were very thorough, and we both felt like we received excellent care. We're very grateful for how accommodating everyone was and are so glad we chose this office!

    There is a difference between an opinion and a factual review. As an older person, I've seen many…read moredentists over the years and wanted to give my factual review on the care I received at this office. The staff and dentist are professional. They are not my friends. They are my dental support team for the care of my teeth. In this regard, they exceeded my expectations. I am recovering from 3 hours of the removal of an infection and a temporary crown this morning. This afternoon, I am not in pain and do not require pain reliever. That's a first. Looking at the price for the crown, it is consistent with what I was charged by my previous dentist before I moved into this area. This is not the first time I've seen negative reviews based on personalities but at the end of a long day, I want to know how good this dentist is, not if they can be buddy buddy with me. What I found was a 5 star dentist with excellent dental skills. The addage is that you get what you pay for but I see superior dental care within the realm of what is expected for dental care costs. I have an overbite. Invisalign has been recommended but i can see why. My front lower tooth is butting up against my tooth front teeth. This recommendation is one that is needed. The staff did not recommend any cosmetic dentistry. They recommended what was needed. It is very hard to wade through reviews and pick a dentist based on reviews, but I want to let this one stand as a factual and experiential review of an outstanding dentist who is professional. I would rather have an excellent dentist who maintains professionalism and excellence of dental care than be a chummy friend. However, as she drilled for my crown you see, she paused every few minutes to ask how I was feeling, and she asked if the pain control from the shot was working for me. She is sensitive to her patients, she crosses her t's and she dots her i's. She's officially my dentist and I know that with her and her staff, I'm in good hands. 5 stars given.

    4 broken teeth replaced within 5 years. Purchase the premium dentures with a 7 year warranty, yet…read morehave been charged $239 for the last replacement. This was the same tooth as last time. They said it was from wear and tear and no further warranty, suggested new dentures. I would think the adhesive would be considered manufactures defect.

    Our family discovered Aspen dental is the only local place which is "in network" for our insurance…read more I saw on here (yelp) their customer service was very lacking in reputation, but with a paucity of options I called to schedule an appointment. The Good: They scheduled me for the same week in which I called. I was very surprised and happy that they confirmed they took my insurance and agreed to get me in so quickly for an exam. The Bad: the day of the appointment they called to discuss the details of my arrival. I told the staff I only wanted a physical exam and then a cleaning, but no x-rays for health reasons. After conferring with the dentist, the staff member told me x-rays were mandatory and would be necessary for a treatment program. As I don't have any issues, only a desire to receive prophylaxis care to keep it that way, I only wanted to buy the service I needed. Aspen dental opted to cancel my appointment for my refusal to receive extra services, rather than just do an old fashioned oral exam and cleaning/polishing. Not impressed. Customer service has seemed to plummet in recent years; turning away clients who won't be upsold is no way todo business.

    At the time of my contact in mid 2025, TaDarrol Johnson is working at Linderhof Family Dental at…read more3540 Jeffco Blvd, Arnold Missouri 63010. TaDarrol came in after the hygienist completed my series of introductory x-rays to go over the results with me. TaDarrol had a pleasant disposition, kind eyes and seemed very genuine as he described what he saw. I explained my own philosophy as to how I approach treating suspected cavities and he listened and ultimately respected my wishes without argument. TaDarrol did offer me a prescription strength flouride toothpaste to aid me in my approach to naturally remineralizing weak spots, which I really appreciated. My first impression of TaDarrol is good, I liked him as a person in my first meeting. I will review the office staff under the Linderhof Family Dental Care's Yelp profile.

    Work was done on my wife's mouth(August 25. 2026)*..after the medicine wore off that evening..she…read morerealized something was horribly wrong. Of course we reached back out to this practice and the run around began. Most importantly she needs to see a specialist because of course this office billed the insurance companies. Dr. Johnson explained that he would make sure the office staff contact our insurance company's, explain the situation and reverse the charges so she wouldn't have to pay anything out of pocket or if she has to it would be very minimal. An appointment was made immediately with the specialist..get to this appointment and because Linderhof Family Dental Care had already billed for the same procedure weeks prior we would have to pay full out of pocket price..Please understand this situation and consider before it happens to you or your loved one. The front office staff can make or break any office. Christina (?) office manager as she proudly states is the cause we've withdrawn all six family members from this office. Very rude, unprofessional are just a few words that'll I'll correlate to her. Dr. Johnson is a very good dentist and we get it...things can go wrong..HOWEVER what we dont get is how front office staff can totally be disrespectful, unprofessional make your office lose money and remain. September 22, 2026, unfortunately my wife is still in agony and immense pain just to speak to Christina yet again unfortunately, she has to get with her AR about reversing the charges that her office billed but she doesn't know how to do it. ..also, stated once its figured out it could still take up to 60 days to be removed from our insurance companies..it's not Dr. Johnson that we have issues with..its his front office staff. Unfortunately, our only course of action at this point is to reach out to the dental board to address our concerns regarding this surgical procedure that was done and how it has caused complications afterwards. Preventing her seeing a specialist because staff..doesn't know how to reverse charges from the insurance companies we have. We're stunned to say the least. Please go elsewhere for your dental needs.
