They take the time to create a dental plan for you, explain each step of the plan, and provide an estimate of the cost along with what your insurance will cover. Scheduling an appointment is quick and easy. They send appointment reminders via text, email or phone calls. I highly recommend this dentist and his team if you have anxiety about seeing a dentist!

In a nutshell-
-friendly and knowledgeable staff
- easy to follow dental plan and cost breakdown
-clean and modern facility
-clean restrooms
-easy scheduling
-appointment reminders via text, email and phone call
-if you are late to an appointment they call to make sure you are okay
-appointments are never rushed read less

I was resigned to the fact that I couldn't afford the $240 bill and was leaving in pain, a level 15 on a 1-10 scale, it was that debilitating. Then this angel, Dr. A, came to see me. Although they couldn't proceed with the necessary extraction, she offered me much needed relief from the pain with an exam, analgesic shots to quite my face and head pain, an Rx for antibiotics and motrin. Some may say this is the least they could do, I say it saved my sanity and quite possibly life. Letting a molar infection fester, can make you septic or even infect your heart and kill you. Thanks bunches to Forum and Dr. A for their emance compassion and assistance today. I'll be back and recommend them for sure. read less

Dr Kim has been amazing with my daughter during a very difficult time. Jordan is an amazing, wonderful lead assistant, thank you for your amazing work.

She listened to my needs and did refer me to their St Roberts location due to the transition in Dentists. That one call made a world of difference. She advised that she used this as a training opportunity with her and was very sincere!
Thank you!
Service was NO WHERE Close to what I was expecting. I recently moved from Denver and my husband is a patient at this practice. I called and left a voice mail before operating hours ( posted online)( voicemail has no greeting) I also went online and made an appointment for emergency service ( crown came off) I had not heard anything back so I decided to call again and the call was answered. I greeted the gal that answered and mentioned I had called and made the online appointment and was wondering if she could assist. She seemed very short and stated they were not even open but asked what I was needed and I told her of my urgent need and she said she would get me in the last week of July. When I stated it was more of an urgent mater she got snappy and said "We don't have a Dr until then" I kind of laughed and said I understand but due to the urgency I was hoping for something sooner and appreciated her time. read less

One of my last teeth has been hurting off and on for a couple of weeks while I was out of town for work. I'm a truck driver. Waited all day Friday for someone to call me back. So I got home Monday and called office again and to my surprise I got a limited appt to evaluate my situation. Cost for the visit and 1 xray was $121. Was told they may be able to get me in on the 31st for 2 extractions and was given quotes for replacement of the 2 teeth in my partial. Everyone was very nice and easy to understand. So I upgraded my review read less

Dentist did great work. Had a chipped tooth and they were able to get me right in on short notice. Will go back to them again!!

Monday 2/22/2022 they showed me just how amazing they can be. My fiancé went to have the LEFT side of his face evaluated for jaw pain around 4:00pm at Valley Park Dental Group. He walked out with a failed wisdom tooth extraction on his RIGHT side and said he would be fine to go to work around 6:00pm. They gave him a referral to Dr. Reti at Southwest Oral Surgery and told him to schedule when he had time. Once the localized anesthesia shot wore off he was in the worst pain. The prescription for Tylenol #3 didn’t even begin to touch it. I called several times to the office and eventually had to call the after hours number since they never picked up before they closed. I STILL haven’t received a call back from Valley Park Dental Group 2 DAYS later. Out of pure desperation I called Forum Dental- Ballwin the office was closed but Dr. Olvera has the machine set up directly to her cell phone and she picked up on the first ring. I know she didn’t get the whole story out of me on the phone. I was extremely panicked and told her basically “I have no idea what to do. Please help!” She met us in 30 minutes at the office and had him joking around in 40 minutes. Took care of everything and sent us home with the appropriate medicine and aftercare. She’s followed up via phone call and texts multiple times checking on him. She even reached out to Valley Park Dental Group to touch base about the continuing of care for their patient. Like I said they still haven’t reached out to us two days later.

I’m beyond grateful to Dr. Olvera for everything she did. Don’t hesitate to see her. She’s amazing! read less

Dr. Atchison was amazing, he gave me a very thorough checkup and fixed a mess up with a filling from a previous dentist that I didn’t realize I even had an issue until a few days later! What an amazing relief! Thanks doc!! Can’t wait to come back. read less

I am not always the greatest at taking care of my teeth but there is no judgment only teaching. The Dentist Dr J. who was not friendly is no longer there and has been replaced by an amazingly friendly dentist that fits the personality of the rest of the team there. We moved away to Forsyth but my wife and I still drive up to Ozark just to go to this team. read less

My being escorted to the dental throne came pretty much right about, and Anna and Dr. Atchison explained everything, let me know what they were about to do and were doing and as certain steps needed time to settle, they sat me up so I could keep doing my "anchor task" of knitting dishclothes, which allows me to be "at ease"! Truly a helpful and beneficial attitude from all! Thank you so much! read less

As an older person I have more needs than the average patient. Most recently my dentist has been Dr. Kim. I am impressed with his knowledge and his explanation of how dental problems occur. At his suggestion, I tried a new kind of partial to replace my uncomfortable and ancient metal partial. My new partial fits perfectly and is extremely comfortable.I give Dr. Kim an A+ for his concern, his knowledge, and his expertise! Highly recommend… read less

For the first and only time in my life I didn't feel the needle poke for the numbing process(which is usually the worst part for me). Everything has been smooth and easy. From getting my other dental records, to the procedures themselves, all the way to billing and payment. I would highly recommend to anyone in need of dental work. read less

The local is just now wearing off, but I can tell such a difference already. Bless you for getting me in same-day. I could cry with relief. Suzanne, it was so good seeing you again!

It's not just because the associates are so positive and supportive; they act as if you're the most important patient they are dealing with.

They have really done outstanding work, particularly the Dr. I've had lots of work done on my teeth, lots of poor experiences. However, I have never really experienced discomfort or pain. That shows me how skilled the Dr. truly is.

I really appreciate Forum Dental and it's entire staff. They have also done a fabulous job working with the VA while managing my care. Best dentistry bar none. read less
