Why Our Patients Love Us!

Warm, Welcoming Atmosphere

Wonderful place and great staff! It’s such a nice building, when I first walked in I thought about how much nicer, cleaner and fresher it felt compared to other dentist offices I’ve been too. Dr Gaffney is great and the hygienists are all wonderful, too.

Caring and Attentive Dentist

I’ve never felt so comfortable at the Dentist! All the staff here is so warm, welcoming and knowledgeable! Dr. Gaffney took the time to answer all of my questions and address my concerns. It’s obvious that Des Peres Dentistry really cares about their patients!

Hassle-Free Emergency Care

I'm in from Florida and got a list of Dentists from my provider. I needed a cavity filled and only had one day off to fix it. Not only did they get me in that day, but the experience was the best I've had in a Dentists office. From no paperwork (I used an iPad) to the care and kindness they shared, it was a great experience.
