PATIENT REVIEWS

I started going to ballwin dental care in the middle of the pandemic, but they still were always open and available to help get my oral health back on track. The whole staff are very easy to talk to, and are very knowledgeable in caring for my needs. Yes, they are little on the expensive side, but through the work I’ve done with them they have earned a customer for life. Award winning dentists and hygienists are especially a plus when it comes to dentistry because it helps ease the nerves when it comes to visiting the dentist. If you are looking for a dentistry place that cares about making your experience as comfortable as possible this is the place for you.

My husband and I were referred to Ballwin Dental Care, approximately 2 years ago. Our dentist’s name is Kim Simmons, if I am understanding correctly, her father founded the practice several years ago and since no longer practices in the office. Dr Kim, as I call her, is professional, knowledgeable and skillful. She has a great personality and placed me at ease on my first visit with her. The office is clean, decorated beautifully and most inviting. Since selecting Ballwin Dental Care, both my husband and I have had Dental work required and we are extremely and grateful for the care that have provided to us.

I loved my experience at Ballwin Dental! The staff was extremely outgoing, warm and welcoming. I felt like I had been going there for forever and was apart of the family. The light atmosphere makes going to the dentist less nerve wracking. I also really enjoyed the fact that the Dental Hygienist takes time with you and doesn’t rush you at all. Plus they give you free things for becoming a patient and for being a patient for 6 months or more! Definitely suggest this to anybody! 🙂

I had a broken crown from old, old dental work, called for an appointment and was able to get right in to get it fixed. Dr. Simonds gave me the alternatives, and it was easy to choose what I wanted to do to get it fixed. She was able to start the work, take the impressions, etc., to get it fixed. Such responsiveness! And the dentist and the dental assistant worked really well together as a close team in an efficient way! This place has my recommendation!

I wasn’t sure what to expect but I knew that I needed extensive work on my teeth. I went to several dental offices for consultation and came running back to Ballwin Dental. My dentist Rachel never made me feel self conscious about my smile even though I am. She took time to go over my X-rays and was able to give me options for a dental plan that would save the rest of my teeth and give me back my smile. I was apprehensive about the cost but was quickly put at ease after meeting with Amy the financial coordinator. She was honest and upfront with my options. She listened to my concerns about finances and was able to offer a solution that actually saved me money and was affordable. I don’t mind paying upfront for services that I’m having done. My appointments were set up and completed within a week. I’m actually looking forward to being able to go straight home after my treatments. Lastly the front desk staff is always cheerful, helpful and friendly. I haven’t had much interaction with them because your appointment time is actually on time! I know I’ve made the right decision choosing Ballwin Dental. And soon I’ll have the smile to prove it!

Gentleness is the most important thing they could offer, and they do. Affordable price for someone like me who doesn’t have benefits at the moment is huge, and wow, they even offer blankets and pillows to make you feel more comfortable. Never ever had heard of such a thing. I really appreciate they didn’t push to make certain decisions, but gave solid recommendations. Clean new building too. Wow, I think I struck gold on this one. Usually I try to think critically with reviews, but can’t think of any negativity in my experience. 100% recommended. This is how dentistry should be!

My son chipped his front tooth skateboarding. He did not have a general dentist and I just moved back to STL, so I headed to FB and asked friends for recommendations. My friend recommended Dr. Kim. Although we weren’t able to book with her, and due to the emergency, we couldn’t wait. DR. McCarty saw my son the very next day. They have a coupon to help with the first visit which was SUPER helpful. My son is an adult and does not have dental insurance. The front office was super friendly and Dr. McCarthy did an excellent job placing a filling. I was EXTREMELY happy with his conservative approach by preserving the natural tooth as long as possible. It looks so good, neither my son nor I can tell and it’s been months. I have since had my own dental emergency and saw Dr. Dan for an extraction, which was super easy and as comfortable as possible with gas, Netflix and headphones. I was so impressed with the assistant Ashley. This was my second time with her and she truly is gifted, caring and soothes your nerves. Losing a tooth is a personal loss and she recognized that. She has a big heart! Also, Katrina can color match and put on a temp crown like nobody’s business. Fast forward and it’s time for two crowns. I made an appointment tonight with Dr. Kim. My friend absolutely adores her so I’d like to have her do my crowns. Honestly though, every doctor on staff is wonderful. You can’t go wrong at this practice On thing I love about Ballwin Dental is their flexibility with scheduling. They have early mornings, evenings and Saturday appointments. It’s nice to not have to use too much PTO at work. The only thing I wished they offered were restorative in house dental plans for people like me who need a good amount of work. I have finally learned I’m better off skipping dental insurance and using premiums to pay out of pocket, however they do accept Delta Dental. Laura at the front desk is also a sweetheart.

This place is great. I was afraid to go to any dentist office for fear of being shamed in brushing habits or being pushed to come back nonstop for cleanings. Katrina brought me in and made sure I was well taken care of and let me know that I had multiple options to get my teeth healthy. They weren’t pushy one way or the other. I didn’t leave feeling like I don’t deserve to have teeth. Will be going back for future check ups and cleanings when possible on their flexible times.

Top notch staff. Top notch care. If you’re in the west St. Louis area and looking for a dentist, Ballwin Dental Care is your one-stop destination. Our 7-year-old daughter had to get some cavities cleared out. They were gentle with her, had her entertained with a Hulu streaming show. I also had some dental work done and they were very accommodating to my work schedule and payment plan. Great people. Great place.

Just spoke with Angie on the phone and I am sold. This is my new dentist. I am planning an appointment and will write another review. I called to see if they offered “happy gas” for tooth extractions and they offer two forms of whitening and many more services my previous dentist did not offer. (Oddly) I am excited for my appointment. Thank you!!

I just had my first cleaning at Ballwin Dental Care and they are amazing! I highly recommend it to anyone who needs to go to the dentist. Their staff is very welcoming, friendly, attentive, and professional. My hygienist was so nice and she did an amazing job! They are a family owned business and they truly seem to care about their patients. Because a lot of people don’t enjoy going to the dentist Ballwin Dental Care has a comfort menu that is full of things to help keep you more comfortable during your visit.

I have been with Ballwin Dental Care for a very long time, I am having a procedure done that I was wanting for a long time, Ashley gave me the initial consultation, Amy set everything up, Dr.John is working the miracle and Katrina and the other assistants are a pleasure to work with. Dr. Simonds, you have a great team of people working for you. I look forward to the end result of the procedure. Thank you so much!

I was pretty impressed.  Their waiting room doesn’t look like a dentist’s office at all.  It’s very inviting.  All of the staff seem to genuinely care about the patient.  I had a coupon so I got my first exam at a substantial discount.  I have to have a filling replaced.  The office manager came out and gave me an estimate and explained everything.  Their explanation of what they were going to do before they did it was really good.  I have no problem recommending them.

Absolutely loved my care at Ballwin Dental! The staff is always so kind and eager to help. I was able to schedule my appointment easily over text (with a real person–not a robot!) They even went the extra mile and contacted me when an opening became available earlier in the week for an appointment. While at the office, I felt the dental hygienist and dentist really cared about me and wanted to help me through any questions I had! I would recommend this place to anyone I know looking for a dentist! I just scheduled an appointment for my husband and will be referring friends as well!

Lifelong patient! I have been going to Ballwin Dental Care for over 30 years, and I have always had excellent care. They are so nice and friendly! I appreciate their assistance and attention to the details when it comes to my changing insurance coverage over the years. I also really trust they are protecting my private information and are following HIPPAA guidelines. In my recent visits during Covid, I have felt very safe going to their office. I recently had my 6 month check up and cleaning, and then went back a few weeks later for a filling. I was able to lay back and watch a YouTube video that I had started earlier in the day WHILE I was getting my tooth filled. It made me at ease and I can say it helped make it a pleasant experience… which is not something that you would typically say with regards to getting a cavity filled! I highly recommend them to everyone I know.

I am so happy to have found Ballwin Dental Care. I had a slight emergency and called several other offices. When I called BDC they were able to get me in the same day. Everyone I encountered was friendly and genuinely concerned about my issue. The customer service was top notch. Ballwin Dental care has earned my trust and will be seeing my entire family. Thanks BDC!!!

The office staff was super friendly and accommodating ( all of them!). Very clean and comfortable atmosphere. Went way above and beyond. The hygienist was very nice and professional. She did a very thorough cleaning and exam and wasn’t rough on my teeth and gums. I have experienced those cleanings before…ouch! They discovered a dental problem that I had had for several years, but other dentists missed. It could have been more serious situation if it had gone unnoticed. I can’t say enough great things about this business. If you are looking for dentist in the Ballwin/Manchester/Chesterfield area, I would highly recommend them. I just moved here from out of state and my wife and I are glad to have found such a great and conveniently close dentist!

I have been a patient for over 9 years. The doctors and staff are wonderful. They have the option for watching movies while they work on you. They know who you are when you walk in the door. They are good at fitting you in when you have an emergency (chipped tooth etc.), most times the same day. They treat the whole family, adults and kids. They have late appointments on some days so I don’t have to miss work.

Ballwin Dental Care goes the extra mile. We are a returning customer after trying 4 different dentists in the area and we are glad to be back. The dental hygienists are so friendly and the ladies at the front desk are always so welcoming. Gentle Jan took great care of my kids. My 5 year old daughter was a little nervous about the dentist (at her last dental appointment at a different dentist the hygienist couldn’t get anywhere near her teeth). Jan was so wonderful she not only cleaned her teeth, she was able to get x-rays as well. I would recommend Ballwin Dental Care to anyone. You will be pleased with everything they do here.

After we moved pretty far away from Ballwin, we tried other dentists. No one even comes close. Ballwin Dental Care invests in the very BEST technology to make you comfortable. For our children, we even tried child-centric dental practices, and when you take away all the gimmicks (cool video games, tv screens, and popsicles), the staff lacked the compassion and ability to make our most nervous child feel at ease. So we continue going to Ballwin Dental, even if it means a long drive. It’s so worth it.

OMG I just moved here from So Cal and I was so worried when my back tooth got infected, how was I going to find a good dentist. I hate going to the dentist. The office team was absolutely wonderful. So friendly and nice. The dentists were totally awesome. They made it fun so I could relax and not dread being there. I highly recommend Ballwin Dental.

I came to Ballwin Dental based on a recommendation from a friend and I was not disappointed. Everyone was so welcoming, friendly and caring. They took me on a little tour of the office and gave me the history of Ballwin Dental. The office itself is beautiful. The techs and the dentist were fantastic. The office staff were so very helpful. I’ve never had a more pleasant experience at a dentist office. I will definitely recommend Ballwin Dental.

Best experience at a dentist’s office yet! I had an emergency situation and they got me in right away. My anxiety likes to get the best of me, especially at the dentist, but they made me feel so comfortable. Ashley, the dental assistant, is the sweetest, most helpful woman. She helped calm my nerves and made me laugh. I appreciate all that they did and I highly recommend them.

I have been a patient at BDC for a couple of years as a new resistor the area. What am amazing team of employees. It is such a welcoming environment. They care about you and the service from the front desk to the hygienist the dentist and the ladies who check you out is so professional. Their service is wonderful. I truly appreciative of them. They make you want to come back. They even have amazing give always for referrals. They have specials posted about new services. I want to shout out 2 team members who took great care of me personally Thank you so much.

I’ve been a patient at BDC for 7 years, coming to them with many problematic teeth and financial concerns. From the beginning “Dr. Bob” and office manager extraordinaire Jeannie made me feel at ease, communicating with me one on one to offer and explain all my options. Dr. Bob is meticulous in his attention to detail and craftsmanship, as well as a gentle hand. Because of needing so much work done, I’ve had many appointment’s through the years and have gotten to work with much of the staff, all of which are very friendly, attentive and professional. Sharon always greets you with a beaming smile and warmth and the whole staff makes you feel like family. Dr. Kim and Dr. Dan also offer the same caring professionalism. Its obvious this practice has been built on a foundation of high standards and concern for the patients well being. I whole-heartily recommend them.

Have you ever wanted to rave about a dental practice? I haven’t, until I went here. I was WAY overdue for my routine dental work, and when I called to make the appointment they were just so kind about it. I don’t have dental insurance and the woman on the phone told me to check the website because they have some coupons for first time patients to help save some money and they saved me a ton! I showed up a bit before my appointment as they had requested to do paperwork, and I was greeted so warmly, and taken on a tour of the offices which I thought was very clean and modern, with lots of comfort touches, like movies, blankets, pillows, and even sunglasses so you don’t get blinded by the light! The appointment itself was great. No guilt trip for how long I had been between appointments, just a really gentle but thorough cleaning. Really glad to have found a great local dentist.

My first visit to Ballwin Dental was last year. It had been a while since I had gone to a dentist. I told the office on the phone that I was nervous in passing. When I got there, everyone was sure to introduce themselves and reassure me! I felt completely at ease. Every visit since has been great. The staff offer blankets, headphones, sunglasses etc. to make sure I’m comfortable. The dentist and hygienists always explain what they are doing and make sure that I get breaks if I need them. For any folks out there with anxiety about dental appointments, this is the best place to go! It is a bit of a commute from my home, but completely worth the drive! Thanks, Ballwin Dental, for your quality, person-centered care!

I recently found Ballwin Dental Care thru yelp after searching keywords such as, “Baby” “Wimp” and “Nitrous”. I was very nervous, as I loathe the dentist. I knew I was in trouble, because I had cracked a molar and knew that I needed immediate attention. My tooth wasnt in pain, but I’m far too vein to have a messed up smile. When I got to the office they showed me around and gave me the comfort menu. I still wasnt buying the relaxed atmosphere, how was the lip gloss mentioned on the comfort menu going to calm my freakish fear of the drill? I ended up needing a root canel and crown. Yesterday I went in for the root canel procedure and sure the lip gloss didn’t calm my nerves, but the gas mentioned on the comfort menu sure did. The gas along with Netflix made for a semi enjoyable experience. The numbing techniques have sure improved over the years and I barely felt it. I was cool, calm and collected. Dr. Dan and Amanda took fantastic care of me and made sure I didnt freak out. I have to go back next week for the crown prep and I’m very confident that I’ll be in great hands!!

Very friendly staff! They definitely try to work with you on payment methods! The only downer is they don’t accept Medicaid or any state funded Insurance. ☹️ But most dentists dont but definitely recommend them. I think the state and dental offices need to work on allowing most if not all to accept Medicaid. I don’t understand why they don’t .

I am so happy with this office and the staff. Megan is the hygienist that I have seen and she cleans my teeth like I have never had them cleaned before. Dr Kim is great, she did a bridge for me in April and I smile so confidently now. Very clean and professional office. I am relaxed having work done there. I recommend this practice to anyone looking for a dentist!!

We had a checkup for our 11 yr old today. Shamefully, she hasn’t had a dentist visit in about three years and we were very apprehensive; especially the girl. Ballwin Dental advertises new patient specials and we booked an appointment. Their warm welcome set all of our daughters concerns at ease and the exam began. After x-rays and a cleaning, Dr Kim visited. I can’t imagine a more positive impression. Our daughter said the visit was better than playing Minecraft, which says alot! We would give a six star rating, if possible. We highly recommend Ballwin Dental!!!!

I can’t say enough good things about this place. They are very friendly and helpful. Tiffany cleaned my teeth and was great about explaining exactly what she was doing and what she was looking for. She explained all the results to me and made me feel super comfortable the whole time I was there. I highly recommend this dental practice!

The quickest, least painful filling I’ve ever received. The staff is very attentive, and has clear communication about costs and client needs. I also received Botox for my bruxism and had all my questions and concerns answered and taken seriously. My chronic jaw pain has already started to alleviate not even an hour after and I feel confident in my decision, which I’m not sure I would’ve felt to such a degree if I had the procedure done at a medical spa instead.

My visit to Ballwin Dental Care: The check-in process was quick, and it was all online. My physical check-in was easy; the staff there are amiable and made me feel very welcomed when I arrived and throughout my entire visit. The hygienist and dentist were very professional and caring, and both were very gentle with my procedures. There is no reason that I can find to go anywhere else for my next dental needs. My experience was excellent!

I’ve had good dental care here for two years now. They’re punctual, staff is very well trained and I’ve never had any issues with billing or otherwise. On the contrary I’ve been pleased by the kindness and gentle touch, they’ve been patient and attentive to my anxiety while getting four cavities and cleanings completed. I was so pleased by the pain free experience last time that I said “I hope I have another cavity in six months!”.
