Park Place Dental

Great experience.
Thank you Park Place, for helping me with my baby during my cleaning :)

Dr. Shelton and his staff at Park Place Dental Group are top notch. The office is inviting and calm and the staff are extremely friendly. They have a gaming area to keep the kids content before their appointments. Our dental hygienists were gentle and thorough. Thank you Park Place Dental. I will recommend you without a doubt.

Military? Looking for a clean, safe, and caring dental group for your dependents?! Park Place is the best dental group I could have ever hoped to find for my family. The staff is amazing and very attentive! The facility is immaculate and they were quick to get us an appointment … And they accept Tricare to boot!
Being new to the area, the only reason we even chose to to try Park Place was through all of the positive reviews like this, I hope this review is helpful in assisting you to try this location.

I have never ever experienced dental care as excellent as I have at Park Place. From the ever excellent customer service from the knowledgable front desk ladies to the back office specialists. I have never felt more comfortable. My children have even asked when do they get to go back. I am extremely impressed with the professionalism and acceptance this office has provided to my autistic brother who is scared to death of the dentist. He still to this day can not stop talking about how nice they were and how comfortable he felt with the friendly staff. My family and I are looking forward to continuing our services in this healthy professional atmosphere. Kudos to you Park Place!!! Keep up the excellent work!

Park Place Dental is hands down the best dentist office I have ever been to. The staff is always pleasant and helpful, and offers you critical advice and support regarding dental needs, insurance and procedure costs, and payment.
Dr. Shelton is very knowledgeable and thorough, and takes special care when there is any procedure done. I went without dental insurance for many years, and was put to ease when starting treatment for overdue cavities there. He is very good with pain management, and eased my fear of the dentist. A true professional!

Great family dentistry!
The staff is very friendly and really seems to care about us (we’re a family of four) and our experience.
Our cleaning visits are always very smooth and on time. We’ve seen 3 of the 5 hygienist and they’re all friendly and very gentle.
Dr. Shelton is down to earth and easy to talk with. He seems to really know his stuff and isn’t pushy — not trying to get us to do more than NEEDS to be done. When our then 5 year old needed 2 teeth pulled, Dr. Shelton was so smooth that our little guy wanted to look in the mirror to verify that the teeth were out!
The office environment is family friendly with wi-​fi, a TV and 3 (YES 3) video game consoles for the kids, and inclined parents, to fill the time.
I believe that the size of the staff helps to make it really easy to get appointments, both for routine visits and emergencies. We seem to always be able to get in when we need/​want to. We’ve even taken advantage of the Saturday hours that they have throughout the month.
Finally, most people may not pay attention to this, but I like the fact that the staff seems to enjoy what they do and being there for us. It’s great that the faces are always familiar without the constant turnover that you see at some practices.

I have come here twice. While the staff is friendly, I think I will be trying somewhere else. I try to stay local.
My gripes:
The dental cleaning you don’t get to pick your flavor for your cleaning, everywhere i have ever gone they give you umpteen different choices, the flouride had a few choices.
I got three fillings and on teeth i didn’t even know needed them, which is fine. However, now one of the teeth that didn’t hurt before has a tinge of discomfort with anything i eat or touch on the top. Never had this problem before.
My pluses:
The office is nice and cozy, they even have a kids area with video games.
You get in at your scheduled appt time, this is a huge plus.
They have tvs for you to watch while your doing your dental work.
I am just trying somewhere else because ive never had issues with fillings before, of course i will have to come back here for it to be corrected or fixed at no charge.
UPDATE:
I came back to get my fillings looked at and they looked at me like I was crazy. The dentist then told me that i have to wait a few weeks or months for my nerve to settle even though I am in frequent pain.
My teeth didn’t even hurt when I went in there, now they do.

Like Don K., I used to work really close to Park Place — like, in the same office park. Even after I no longer worked in Swansea and lived in St. Louis I would still make the drive out here. Dr. Shelton is just that good.
I have been to a lot of dentists in life and he is by far the best I’ve seen. He is gentle, comforting, and skilled. His office staff is wonderful too — they remember you by name and are on top of paperwork. I don’t know why they bother to have magazines in the waiting room because I’ve never waited more than 2 minutes for my appointment — not kidding!
My husband had not been to a lot of dentists in life. In fact, at age 30, he had never had a cleaning. So you can imagine how apprehensive he was about going to see a dentist for the first time. And he adored Dr. Shelton — never felt the least bit judged or nervous after that initial meeting.
Dr. Shelton gave me porcelain veneers and I was floored at what a perfectionist he was about them — which is important! He did a phenomenal job. My husband had a couple of root canals which you always hear is awful but for him it went extremely smoothly.
I feel like I’m babbling but I can’t recommend Dr. Shelton enough. We moved out of the state last summer and it’s pathetic how mopey I am about having to find a new dentist.

My wife and I absolutely love the team at Park Place Dental. I once worked in Belleville and chose this dentist after a recommendation of a co-​worker (and their location in the same office park). Since 2005, we have really enjoyed the experience.
For someone who feared the dentist as a kid (or did we all have those nightmares?) Dr Shelton and his staffs’ chair-​side manners make something that isn’t exactly enjoyable, relaxing. The knowledgeable staff, from the hygienists to the receptionists, always make you feel comfortable. They offer all the latest dental services and use the most state-​of-​the-​art technology. Fillings take minutes. They accept most insurances. Very family friendly. Kids will enjoy the game room in the lobby!
Their new location in Shiloh is very inviting and warm. While I no longer work in Belleville, we make the 20 mile drive from St Louis just because we love Dr Shelton and his team.
