I recently switched dentists and Spring Valley Dental was my choice. They were very welcoming at my appt today and everyone took great care of me. My hygienist was very friendly and gentle in cleaning my teeth. Dr. Martin took great care of me and had a great bedside manner. He was very knowledgeable in the questions I asked. I would definitely recommend this dental office!

Have had MAJOR dentist anxiety since I was 10. I've bounced around to at least 4 dentists the past 8 years or avoided going to the dentist entirely unless I was sedated. This is by far the best experience I have ever had. Everyone has been so patient and kind, (dentists, hygienists, and receptionists) Genuinely looking out for the needs of the patient.

I have a lot of anxiety about dentists and doctors. I had not been to the dentist in 7 years. They were so wonderful with me and made me feel so comfortable. Not in a rush at all. Did not try and upsell anything to me. They were amazing. I made my 6 month appointment. I am not going to ever go that long without care! This place is just perfect!

Fantastic as always! Pat has been my hygienist for years and is always so caring and engaging. She always asks about my family and remembers details. Hard to believe with as many patients as she must see! Dr Ames is the same way and always kind and compassionate. I never feel rushed or just like another patient. Outstanding practice!

Spring Valley Dental, especially Dr. Martin is wonderful. Recently sent my son, who is no longer able to go to pediatric dentist, and he came home saying how friendly everyone was. He said his teeth felt super clean and the process didn't hurt.

I have been a patient at Spring Valley Dental for years. Dr. Ron Ames is very good at what he does and is easy to talk to. He always has my best interest in mind when discussing my dental care. He did a bone graft for me about six months ago and next week will put the first half of my implant in. Marsha his assistant and the office staff are very professional and personal. I have been a business owner for 30 plus years and know a lot about good customer service. I would recommend his practice to anyone looking for the best of the best.

Dr. Martin is a wonderful dentist. He explains what needs to be done. He gives options when they exist and fixes the problem. Today I went to him with a big chunk out of a front tooth. He was able to fix it this afternoon. I am impressed and very grateful. I would highly recommend Dr. Martin at Spring Valley Dental.

We have been going to Spring Valley Dental for more than 20 years. We have always been greeted with a smile. Dr Ames has been our dentist since we started going there. He takes his time to make sure you understand what he will be doing and you are satisfied with his work. We are very comfortable going there.

Would highly recommend to anyone with young children! Our tech was Jessica and she did a great job explaining and demonstrating in easy and plain language for toddlers. I really appreciated her patience and willingness. The office was clean and welcoming. Everyone greeted us and made us feel comfortable. Dr. Martin was friendly and made us feel at ease. I really appreciated the service and look forward to returning :

Everyone at the office goes above and beyond to deliver exceptional service and treatment to the patients. I worked for a dental insurance company for two years, and it is now obvious to me how great the Spring Valley Dental group is.

My family sees Dr. Martin and his staff. Very professional and comfortable experience. My 4 kids do not fear the dentist and I think that is saying a lot.

Heather Walker
My five year old, who screamed and refused to open her mouth at our last dentist, saw Mrs Geanna yesterday and she LOVED her. No tears, no drama, and my baby girl woke up this morning wanting to go back to the dentist.

Dr. Ames is the best dentist! I know I can trust him. His staff is also great. They have all been with him many years which says a lot about the doctor as a person and as an employer! A lot of people are scared of the dentist but Dr. Ames will put you at ease. He even did a root canal on me! I didnt feel a thing. I live in St. Louis but I still go see Dr. Ames for all my dental needs and regular cleanings. Its only about a 40 minute drive so its well worth the time. Try him. You wont regret it! #1 dentist on earth!!!!!
