Thank you!

Thanks Rob. We appreciate you and your kind words.
Fantastic experience: Dr Wagner & his assistant were great. He reinstalled my crown with no pain & his assistant Barb did a wonderful job cleaning the underlying tooth and prepping the crown for reinstation. Finally the price for this work was very reasonable.
Thank you John. Barb is a tremendous asset to our office.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Wagner and his staff are as friendly as you'll ever see. Dave is gentle he makes your experience pain free. He's willing to stay late for a patient if need be. There's not a better dental office to go in North county!
Fantastic experience: I'm a new patient, first appointment the other day but meeting him for the first time he made me feel comfortable. I'm a first time mom my daughters a few years old now but most of my pregnancy I was unaware of my pregnancy about 7 months saying this I wasn't taking prenatals she ate at my teeth I'd never had any cavities before her I had her at 30, I had 8 my first dentist experience after giving birth it's been down hill with my teeth ever since the last dentist I saw made me feel uncomfortable it's been difficult as a new mom to address many concerns on myself my dental work being one. I shared this story my first visit and stated it's been something uncomfortable for me to go through told me it was common he'd seem it before. Like I said it's been hard for me but im ready to get my smile back together and feel like a better me. So I'd definitely recommend especially to others who might've felt like I did after childbirth. He seemed like a good guy I didn't feel judged and that today is a nice feeling cause usually wherever I am it's the opposite of that no matter what I'm doing.
Fantastic experience: Staff is friendly.

It is easy to be nice when seeing people like you!
Positive experience: I enjoy the pleasant atmosphere in Dr. Wagner's office. It is fun to observe the fish from the ceiling and all over the walls. They keep me busy while they are working on my teeth.I am not scared to enter his office because I know he is a kind and gentle dentist and he does not hurt me. THanks Dr. Wagner!!
Thank you!
Negative experience: Had my daughter get a second opinion for dental work here. They referred me to a dentist to do the work since she was really young. They had an issue with the payment that day but took down the info to the card. The card was charged and I have confirmation from the credit card company that it was paid. A month later they sent me a bill. A lady at the front desk said she sees the bill is paid and to ignore the letter. It's been months later and I just got another bill for that same day and amount with them threatening to send it to collections. The bill was paid and now they are charging me again!
Please call the office. I want to correct your account.
Fantastic experience: Great and friendly, excellent job
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Dr. Wagner and staff. I have been a patient for many years and am completely satisfied with my care. Dr. Wagner takes pride in his dentistry & Amy has always done a wonderful job of cleaning & checking for any issues that need attention. The entire staff is friendly and professional.
We are so fortunate to have Amy. We wish we could find another hygienist as great as she is but she is on a completely different level of fabulous, personally and professionally.
Fantastic experience: Professional, thorough, pleasant, engaging!! Nice job!!!
Fantastic experience: I haven't seen this dentist but the woman I spoke with, Terri, stayed on the phone with me for 15+ minutes answering all of my wide variety of questions, the majority of other offices I've spoken with haven't even wanted to discuss procedural costs let alone spending any time reassuring me that they can help. give Terri a raise and a bonus immediately.
Fantastic experience: I had Dr Peter Gontarz. He was very knowledgeable and explained what options I had for my TMJ discomfort. He had great “chair side manners” and made all his patients feel comfortable. Hygienist Taja was great too as she used the water descaler which is more comfortable and a little faster. Joanne and the are friendly.
Fantastic experience: Great care given ,every time I visit the office
Fantastic experience: Dr. Wagner and his staff are wonderful. I’ve been a patient for over 40 years, they’re the best! I won’t go anywhere else.
Fantastic experience: Love Dr. Wagner and all of the staff. Been going their for 20 years and never disappointed!
Fantastic experience: Just had a wonderful experience at Dr. Wagner’s office. Had a root canal done this morning and it was a breeze. I would highly recommend Dr. Wagner and his office team.
Fantastic experience: Everyone was very kind and understanding of my problems
Fantastic experience: I'm always treated well and unhurt when I visit Dr. Wagner. I can't ask for any better service.
Fantastic experience: Personable care still exists. This team goes above and beyond. They temporarily repaired a 20 yr veneer that shattered a couple weeks before my son's out state wedding. It allowed me to take pics with a smile. Been going here 15 years even though I moved 35 min away. Awesome Team!
Fantastic experience: Very professional and friendly staff with outstanding service!!!
Fantastic experience: The staff is fantastic and makes my dental visits worth each and every visit! Great job!
Fantastic experience: I have never had a better experience with any dentist. Dr. Wagner is professional, thorough, knowledgeable, and relatable! I was nervous about getting a bad tooth taken care of, but he made sure I didn't feel a thing! From the anesthetic, all the way through to the end it was simply a positive experience. I would recommend him to anyone who is worried about pain. Best dentist ever!
Fantastic experience: They are always friendly, on time and do a great job!!!
Fantastic experience: I have been a patient of Dr. Wagner for longer then I can remember. Most of my family that are still in the St. Louis area also use Dr. Wagner. That being said each vist is also ways easy and great. The office is always bright and inviting. The staff is always nice and very helpful.
Fantastic experience: I've been going to Dr. Wagner for over 20 years. Excellent care and super professional.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Wagner’s office was able to schedule an appointment for me within a reasonable time frame with being a new patient. He listened to me and then gave me the pros and the cons of what I wanted done and then we made the best decision. I’ve never came across a dentist like him, he’s real. The ladies in the office were awesome as well. They are a team and, it showed.
Fantastic experience: Dr Wagner has been my dentist for over 25 years. He is an excellent doctor.
Fantastic experience: The best dentist and staff for decades. I won't go anywhere else. Dr. Wagner is the painless numbing king! The cleaning was painless as well. Can not praise them enough! The office takes Care Credit as well. That is just the cherry on top.
Fantastic experience: My family and I have used Dr Wagner for only 30 years. We travel an hour to come to him. When you find a good Dentist it is worth the time it takes to get there!
Fantastic experience: I've been coming to Dr Wagner's office for many years and have always had a positive experience. Amy, my dental hygienist and Dr Wagner are very thorough and professional, as are the front desk staff. I highly recommend them for all your dental needs.
Fantastic experience: Great staff with personality!! I moved an hour away and still go back
Negative experience: Dr. Wagner was very rude and nasty to me. It was unwarranted. I am not sure if he had a bad day or what. He also had to redo a filling on the top right side of my mouth. I had more pain after leaving his office than before going in. Do not go here. You will regret it.
Fantastic experience: I like Dr. Wagner and the technicians who work there. They are careful, listen to your concerns, and are flexible. They will use nitrous oxide if the patient asks for it without making you feel guilty. I know others who also take care of their dental needs at this office, and they have had a good experience with Dr. Wagner and the team also.
Fantastic experience: Strongly recommend Peter Gontarz for any sort of dental work you may need. Went to a different dentist who tried to scam me out of money, Peter cleared me right up. Explained my conditions and how to improve them and got me all settled up. Couldn't ask for a better dentist, lucky I found them after my previous poor experience
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, on time appointment, conversant DMD.
Fantastic experience: Dr Wagner and his team are the amazing! We have been his patients for more than 20years.

Fantastic experience: Outstanding in every way. Been going there for Decades!
Fantastic experience: Chrissy is the best!
Fantastic experience: Just finished up my second appointment with them and I cannot express how AMAZING they are! I was so nervous it was ridiculous and they made the whole experience so much better and they are so nice and personable. I'm glad I found them!
Fantastic experience: I've been a patient of his for a very long time and I trust his judgment and his expertise.
Positive experience: The office was nice and clean. The dentist was nice, talkative, and was clearly in a much better mood that the rest of the staff. However, the assistant that helped before my exam was rude, unknowledgeable and physically rough. She started working and putting her fingers in my mouth without warning, letting me know, or asking me to open my mouth. When she examined my problematic tooth she made assumptions about what the problem might be before giving me an x-ray or waiting for the dentist. (She told me I had a filling that might require a tooth to be replaced. Which was proven to be not the case under further examination by the dentist.) I asked her if my problem might be from my previous braces and she replied “you never know.” She ripped my glasses off my face with was extremely disorienting, and hit me in the eye with an x-ray tool! Since I didn’t have my glasses on and couldn’t see, I jumped back and audibly gasped. The tech instantly caught an attitude about my reaction and told me she was “just going to put it in my mouth” and when I explained that the edge of the tool hit me in the face, she replied, “well, it’s going by your eye.” and did NOT apologize afterwards. I will not be coming back to this office.
