We compared 19 dentists in St. Louis on Google Maps · 5 listed · How we rank

A cracked molar on a Saturday night and a routine cleaning you have put off for a year are two very different searches. The dentists in St. Louis on this page have collected 6,207 Google reviews between them, all rated between 4.7 and 4.9, so the stars won't settle it. What does is the kind of visit you need: a walk-in emergency clinic, a family practice with a long track record, or a downtown office near your workday.

Short answer: Emergency Dental of St. Louis leads on volume with 4.8 stars across 2,356 Google reviews and lists walk-ins as welcome. Forest Park Dental (4.7, 1,878 reviews) is the next most reviewed, and Soulard Family Dentistry holds the top star rating at 4.9 on 421 reviews. Treatment costs vary by procedure and insurance, so ask each office for a written estimate before you book.

How the scorecards work

Every number on this page comes from public Google data on the verified date. Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume is how many patients have rated the practice, set against other St. Louis dentists. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.7 from thousands of people counts for more than a 4.9 from a few hundred. Recency shows how recently reviews are still arriving. No business can pay to change these numbers.

What affects dental costs in St. Louis

Dental fees depend on the treatment, whether your plan covers it and whether you pay out of pocket, so we don’t list prices here. Ask each office for a written estimate that separates what insurance is expected to pay from what you owe, and ask whether a quote is an estimate or a final fee. Some practices mention financing or savings plans on their sites.

These practices sit in Soulard, the Central West End, downtown, the Forest Park Avenue corridor and along Watson Road in the southwest of the metro. Looking for a dentist near me? Each listing shows a live phone number and directions, so you can pick the office closest to home or work.

What to ask before booking a new dentist

Do you take my insurance, and will you give me a written estimate before treatment?
Can you see me for an urgent problem, and what hours do you keep?
Will you request x-rays from my previous dentist?
How do you confirm or reschedule appointments?
Who will treat me, and do you offer sedation for anxious patients?

Frequently asked questions

Which St. Louis dentists accept walk-ins?

Emergency Dental of St. Louis states on its site that walk-ins are welcome. Call any other office first to ask whether it can see you the same day.
