Karen Harris Dentistry
Karen Harris, DMD:
Practice Profile Page

My friend and I were on the search for a new dentist and we winged it and chose Karen! I couldn’t have made a better choice. She is amazing the staff is amazing. Never had a dentist before and I’m glad to have found her! Highly recommend her, you won’t be disappointed!

I had a dental emergency this week. Dr. Harris worked me in and worked through her Lunch hour to perfectly fix my problem. Her staff were all extremely busy with other patients, so Dr. Harris also cleaned my teeth herself!!! She is AMAZING and so are her staff! I drive 4 hours to Karen Harris every 4 months because she is the best! I’ve been a happy patient since 2003.

Don’t review on google very often but I have to do this to benefit others. We used to see Dr. Harris when we were in Saint Louis city, and even after we moved further south we still see Dr. Harris because places we tried just want your money care less about your health. I was surprised how they survive till today. Dr. Harris and her staff are unique. Just give them a try you won’t regret.

The smile perfecter. Dr. Harris is extremely knowledgable and involved with every service. I’ve been a patient for years and I hate I’ve gone to other dentist in the past; Dr. Harris has had to go-over and correct the work of former dentist. I am always happy with her work although I dread coming to sit in a dentist chair; at least I’m sitting in comfort and assured it’ll all be done properly here.

I chipped my front tooth on Saturday and they were able to fit me in on Monday. Everyone was so friendly and helpful in explaining their processes. Sevè took extra time to make sure that I was happy with how my tooth looked before I left. Amazing office and filled with people who really care.

I can’t begin to say how great these gals are here! Every time I walk in I feel as if I am treated like family. Their work is great and prices are very fair. I had an incident with a chipped tooth and they got me right in–the first appointment on a Monday. I can’t rave enough. I’m very picky and this location and group are very impressive. I’d highly recommend.

My boyfriend has a paralyzing fear of dentists, and hasn’t been for nearly 15 years. Childhood sexual abuse made the experience unbearable, and triggers anxiety for him. He told Dr. Harris he wasn’t sure how he would react, and he was afraid he would bite the staff. They were incredibly sympathetic. A hefty dose of valium, laughing gas, an all female staff, and a comforting canine made the six fillings as painless as possible. We are both so grateful.His healthy teeth look beautiful. Thank you ladies!

I’ve been going to Dr. Harris for about 30 years. Always top notch care and state of the art facilities. I had some major issues then. She restored my teeth and corrected my bite. I’ve been in good shape ever since. They also clean my teeth and have eliminated my gum disease. I recommend Dr. Harris and her staff 100%.

Welcome to the 21st century! My old dentist had the hygienist take the X-rays and then he cleaned my teeth. No new technology. No added information. Minimum service at maximum prices. Dr. Harris could not be more different! Perhaps because she was originally a dental hygienist, she explains and educates. She took more pictures of my teeth and different kinds of pictures than I ever imagined possible. When she showed me the mess I brought to her, I was so grateful that she could chart a process that would eventually lead me to be proud of my teeth! The office staff is simply incredible! They make EVERY effort to make you feel at home, comfortable, like a part of their extended family. Having Dr. Harris and her staff working for me is one of my greatest investments–ever!

I cannot recommend Karen and team highly enough. I was traumatized by a dentist when I was about 12 and hated going until I found Karen J Harris & Associates. From the lady in the lobby to the dental hygienists to Karen herself everyone was SO nice, friendly and understanding. They have completely changed my opinion about dentists! Something that I thought was amazing is Karen and team are not just concerned with your teeth but also your whole body health picture. I have never slept well and they were able to determine that I am at a higher risk for sleep apnea. Instead of just pushing a CPAP machine on me, we did a sleep study and they set me up with an appliance and gave me some techniques to practice. Once I got used to the appliance I found I was sleeping better than I ever have. Not only that but they were willing to answer all the questions I had and gave me the information so that I could be fully informed on what we were doing and how it would help. Now I know what to watch out for in my child just Incase genetics do not favor them in that regard. Karen and Associates are amazing! If dentists scare you or if you just want quality care from people who care, go see them. You will not be disappointed.

Prompt, professional and pampering. Dr Karen and her staff always show concern for the patient as well as their teeth. I want to thank her and the hygienist for noticing that I had signs of blocked airway passage. After following up on their concerns with my ENT doc. Turns out I have a mild case of sleep Apnea. Thanks for being so thorough and loving your profession.

I returned to Dr. Harris’ office after a 7 year hiatus. I was hesitant to go back, because I need so much work, but what made the decision was how well I was treated years ago….and she did not disappoint me today!! I was worried that there was no hope, but she gave me several different options and hope for things I thought impossible!! So glad I talked myself in to it… new year, new chance to get started on the path to were I want to be. Thanks for being you Dr. Harris!! You and your team are EXCELLENT!!!

I am fortunate to receive regular dental care from Dr. Karen Harris and her staff. I have not received such a high level of care and attention from any other dentist. She was able to save a marginal tooth that I believe other dentists would have extracted. She explains the treatment plan and home care in detail. And, when unexpected circumstances arose, she arranged additional treatment in a way that worked for my schedule.

I went to see Dr. Karen Harris for a yearly cleaning and to have some routine work performed. I am new to the STL area and found her office convenient for myself as am currently living downtown. Despite having limited knowledge of her office, I must say I could not have been more please with the treatment I received. The staff are all very friendly and welcoming and most importantly Dr. Harris is VERY thorough. In fact the night I came in for my visit, St Louis received a large snow storm and despite the conditions, the staff stayed lated to ensure all my concerns were addressed and taken proper care of. I most definitely recommend.

I cannot say enough good things about this office, and everyone who works there! Dr. Harris is a great dentist–talented, thorough, and ethical, clearly communicating what all of your options are, when it comes to different procedures. All of the hygienists are all also so talented and kind (I have some nerves around dentistry, and they always make cleanings an easy, painless experience), and everyone who works in the office is excellent at their job, kind, and thoughtful. Their prices are also very reasonable–I have Illinois insurance, which is always a headache, but they make navigating my tricky insurance easy. I always leave the office feeling so well cared for–everyone here genuinely cares about their patients, and their health! (And Dr. Harris also has her adorable, sweet dogs in the office to greet you–an extra bonus!)

I found Dr Harris and the people working with her very personable. I got an appointment quickly as well as follow up appointments. Dr Harris is extremely knowledgeable in her field. I felt totally taken care of by her. She immediately identified my dental needs and has begun my treatment. It is such a relief to me that I will not loose my teeth! I am thankful to have come across Dr Harris. She is the right dentist for me!

I had the best experience at this dentist office. Everyone was so nice and funny, which made me feel more comfortable. Dr. Harris explains everything about your teeth and gives great tips on brushing/flossing techniques etc. I had 0 pain from my experience and would definitely recommend anyone who is looking for a great dentist.

This is by far the best dental experience I have ever had in my life. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. The staff took their time and make sure I was getting the best dental care in St. Louis. The office was super clean and updated. This is your luxury dentist visit. I totally recommend this office.Thank you again!

I never knew I could love a dentist. Everyone here is so incredibly kind and skilled at their jobs. I hadn’t been to a dentist in an embarrassingly long time and needed 8 cavities filled over several visits. I’m a huge baby and the procedures are never painful and everyone is very sensitive and intuitive. They’re always very understanding and transparent with any insurance/financial issues and were willing to work with me when my employer switched to a worse provider. The icing on the cake is that it’s an office full of women and they always have cute dogs in the lobby to great you. 🙂

Been with Dr. Harris for close to 20 years. Maybe longer. She’s got an amazing team and she’s well ahead of the curve with both technology and technique. She’s a great person and I would absolutely recommend her. As for the other…let’s say “not-so-gentle” reviews, yes, I can understand if you don’t like dogs or maybe had a billing problem. But here’s the thing, the dogs are ridiculously well-behaved and all of the dental work (cleaning, etc.) is done in a separate area where the dogs rarely go. As for the billing stuff, well, sometimes mistakes happen. In my experience, though, they’ve been really flexible if there were additional charges.

Very friendly and caring staff. They played the graduation song on kazoo after filling my last cavity. Dr. Karen is easy to talk to and is happy to explain everything. I’m extremely afraid of needles and she was very kind and gentle when administaering them. They use numbing stuff too so you barely feel the needles. Overall great dental experiences with them!

Great dentist, I’ve been to many different ones seeing as I move a lot and coming here has spoiled me, their staff is very friendly but most importantly their technique and level of thorough work is what amazed me. They use Carries Finder & Diagnodent to ensure the entire decay is eliminated, its a special die that highlights decay, it takes more time but keeps the same tooth from continuing to decay after the filling is applied because there is no bacteria left. Every other dentist I’ve been to has just eyeballed it. These guys use the latest technology and techniques to keep your mouth healthy. Highly reccomend!!!
