linker dude Published on Google

Fantastic experience: The person who did my cleaning had a very gentle touch. The new dentist I saw was able to provide some good information on nerve injury that was caused by a surgery I had done at St. Louis several years ago, also.

Heather Mackey Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Dr. Kivett and his team are absolutely the best!! I should know, after all I am a dental hygienist and have worked with Dr. Kivett previously. His bedside manner is like no other. He absolutely loves his job, and he lets it show! Go there.. dentistry is not cheap but you’ll get what you pay for.

Kevin Gray Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Dr Kivett and his assistant are very personable and easy to understand. It's really great that he gives choices and the pros and cons for each. Dr Kivett is a person that is concerned about your teeth, and not trying to make a boat payment.

Tex Aten Published on Google

Fantastic experience: They are concerned about any questions or apprehensions you may have about what you are having done. Very compassionate and caring.

Kandi Blaukat Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Everyone was AMAZING! I felt so calm & comfortable! I haven’t been to a dentist in 20+ years because of the anxiety I get. Dr Kivett & his staff made me feel safe! Everyone was so friendly & extremely knowledgeable! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Janet Decocq Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Dr. Kivett, dental hygienists, and office staff are warm and very friendly. Dr. Kivett is able to reassure his patients, takes the time to explain the procedure and answers questions during the procedure ,during the visit, as well as when one gets home and had questions then. They are understanding of how their patients feel and do what they can to calm their fears and or anxieties. They really don't just see the patients as patients. They are treated as part of the family unit. I appreciate everything that they do. The building is inviting whether it be in the waiting area or in the back where the work is done. I have been going to Dr. Kivett for close to or over 10 years and I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Sonya is the best dental hygienist my wife and I have experienced in our 75 years of life. She is very professional, sweet, kind, compassionate and most of all she treats you like family. Associates of Dental Arts, lead by Dr Kivett and staff are the most caring and family oriented office we have ever encountered. Highly recommend to anyone needing dental service.

Robert Vice Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Absolutely phenomenal service. Staff was amazing and very personable. Dentist was one of the best I have dealt with in 40 years. I have had a plethora or dentists over the years and they all provided something, but ADA staff goes above and beyond to ensure a positive experience. Just listening to how everyone spoke to their patient, always in a calm and friendly manner, made you feel very relaxed. Even the younger children were relaxed and well taken care of. Highly recommended and thankful for the positive experience.

Nathan Goodson Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Fantastic experience from the moment you walk in the door and see the waiting area. Felt more like walking into a day spa instead of a dentist's office. And that isn't even taking into account the staff from the receptionists to the hygienist and doctor. Genuinely don't see how anyone who has a fear of the dentist could feel anything but comfortable here. Very patient with you and straight honest answers without sounding mean or condescending. I'd recommend everyone go here.

Cathy McDaniel Published on Google

ricky Mcmechan Published on Google

Fantastic experience: such a great place. Amazing staff and always gives detailed information on what’s being done.

Bill Pate Published on Google

Fantastic experience: It perhaps is an exaggeration to write that the visit to the dentist's office is "enjoyable". However, that description comes very close to the reality of being there. The enthusiasm and competence of the dentist is matched by the care and skill of the hygienist, who also has a wonderful sense of humor. Or, if not, is a skilled actress by laughing at my jokes.

Gene Wright Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Dr. Kivett and his whole staff at Associates of Dental Arts are the best there is! Their unwavering commitment to care is truly remarkable. If you’re someone that gets severe anxiety about dental visits due to past negative experiences at other dental offices, you’ll never feel this way again once you step foot through the front doors of Associates of Dental Arts. They have always treated me with exceptional patience and kindness, never making me feel uncertain. Their reassuring demeanor and genuine concern ensures my experience is positive from start to finish at every single appointment and I’ve never seen a unsatisfied patient while there. The whole staff’s candid personalities and meticulous attention to detail makes the process at each appointment incredibly smooth. Dr. Kivett stands out as the most personable and professional dentist I've ever meet. His skills go unmatched and is the Michael Jordan of dentistry. I’ve had multiple types of dentistry work done there from cleanings, tooth removal, crowns, fillings, and currently in the process of SureSmile (Invisalign) ortho treatment. I wholeheartedly recommend this office (Associates of Dental Arts) to anyone seeking the best top-notch dental care there is!

Fantastic experience: I had a bad experience with a Dentist that left me with a temporary crown, it was not only visually horrible but also terribly shaped.

I left with a new permanent crown same visit that was visually pleasing and proper fit.

Fantastic experience: I chose this place from Karen. I have to say everyone was so nice and friendly and ready to answer questions that my son and I had. They took us both together and stopped my appointment so that I could be around when they were talking to him. I'm so glad we chose to find somewhere local instead of driving to the family dentist..

Fantastic experience: Sonya, Jane, and Dr. Kivett are just the best!! I used to have dental anxiety and now I don’t because of them!! My 4yo isn’t scared to go the dentist! They make every visit an amazing one with remembering you instead of just another face in their chair. I will always recommend Dr. Kivett to anybody who is in search of a dentist!

Christina Vice Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Daughter felt very comfortable in office today

Guy Mikesell Published on Google

Negative experience: I hate to write this after the years I have been going here. I trusted this practice thoroughly when we always received great dental care. Although, when you voice your concern, the office manager sends you a message through the receptionist saying that they are too busy to talk to you and when you find another dentist just call them and they will be happy to send your records to your new dentist. A piece of advice for all of you writing five star rave reviews, don’t ever have a problem or a concern.

Gabe Smart Published on Google

I know I am the most difficult patient they have ever had to deal with. Dr. K, is awsome, patient, gentle, kind, I trust him. I do not have anxiety attacks before going to the dentist or when I get to Dr. K's office like I used too. For me, to change Dentist's, again no can, not an option. I recommend Associates of Dental Arts, 100%. Thank you Sonia and Dr. K.
