Southside Dental Care

About Us

At Southside Dental Care, the experience feels personal from the first conversation. Patients describe a team that can be friendly, direct, and easy to talk to, which matters when dental visits already come with enough stress. The office on Gravois Ave serves St. Louis neighbors who want straightforward care from a local dental practice that focuses on making the visit feel manageable.

Reviews point to a dentist who explains treatment clearly and keeps the tone relaxed, so patients know what is happening and why. That kind of communication can make a big difference when you are trying to stay on top of routine care, a follow-up visit, or a problem that cannot wait. For people who value a dentist who feels approachable as well as capable, this practice has built a reputation around that balance.

The schedule also reflects a practical rhythm for busy weeks, with weekday availability and an early Saturday opening. That makes it easier for St. Louis patients to fit dental care into real life, not just ideal calendars. If you want a neighborhood dental office that feels candid, steady, and focused on the person in the chair, Southside Dental Care fits that need.

What We Offer

The team at Southside Dental Care offers general dental care designed to support healthier teeth, gums, and a more comfortable smile. That can include routine visits, cleanings, and treatment planning that helps you understand your next step instead of guessing. The goal is simple, make dental care feel clear, calm, and worth keeping up with.

Patients looking for ongoing care can expect a setting where questions are part of the process and explanations are not rushed. When a mouth needs attention, a steady hand and a plainspoken approach matter just as much as the procedure itself. This is the kind of practice people turn to for regular maintenance, follow-up care, and help addressing concerns before they grow.

With hours on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, the office gives St. Louis residents multiple chances to get back on track. If you have been putting off an appointment, this is a place to start fresh and make dental care more manageable.

"I really liked this dentist. He's super cool, non judgemental, and extremely competent. I will return here for any future dental care. Which will be tomorrow because I skipped my follow up appointment and I should of listened to him. The front desk lady is a lil bit jaded but I don't blame her, probably deals with a lot of nonsense. Assisstants were about how I would expect, pretty nice but not over the top, and did there job proficiently. But the dentist was exceptional. I am so thankful I don't have to go back to the place on Park Ave? Because that place was horrible all around!"

"The staff was very friendly, the receptionist lady was doing to much talking to her coworker rather than help me check in which made me mad. Dr. Howard was very friendly and talked me through everything even tho he couldn't pull my teeth lol he referred me to a great oral surgeon whom I go see in February, I felt comfortable the whole visit. I like that I was seen immediately especially being a walk in patient, I'll definitely go back again, I gotta go back to fix some cavities and get a deep clean which will be happening soon. Overall I'm very pleased🧡"

"Went here for cleaning and she didn’t even do the deep cleaning she just scraped off with a tool and that’s all. Also can someone tell me that why I have to wait for everything at least 30 minutes. My appointment was at 11 am but the doctor came to see me at 12 pm this is ridiculous."

"Went there for a front tooth that needed assistance in the form of extraction. I was told that I could do a walk-in type of an appointment and I was concerned that this would be a lengthy period of time with no guarantee that I would even have the issue addressed. I couldn't have been more surprised and I was treated with prompt and proper care by all staff that I encountered. It was the rather enjoyable experience and I can't say that has been the case for all my previous dental appointments elsewhere. Definitely would go back and I would recommend to anyone."
