: Becky made everything about joining that practice so easy. She was so helpful to me . Dr. Vadnal was so kind and calming , I still can’t believe I had such a calm visit with a dentist. My family is also switching to this practice, they couldn’t believe how calm and satisfied I was when i returned from my visit.

: The new office is fantastic. It's clean, new, and has a warm inviting feel. With a dentist and staff this great there was no room for them to grow where they were . It just makes sense to expand into a larger more accommodating building

We always enjoy our trips to St. Louis Smile Center. Our kids have a great time and enjoy all of the kindness and compliments that they receive from the hygienists. It is always well worth the hour drive to come in. We wouldn't go anywhere else! The yummy cookie treats are always the perfect way to end our visit too! Thank you!
