After moving to St. Louis I was refered to Dr. Triplett by a co-worker who is a self-described 'big 'ol wimp'. She said that his office was the only dentist that ever made her feel comfortable. She was right. Dr. Triplett has an excellent staff that makes you feel immediately at ease. His demeanor is excellent as well. His best quality though is his restraint at performing unneccessary procedures. If he sees something he will monitor it as long as it is not bothering you, as opposed to immediately filling your tooth. He referred my wife for wisdom teeth extraction and myself for a root canal and cap. HIs referrals were good but expensive. HIs office will accept any insurance that allows you freedom to pick your dentist. His receptionist, Diane, is great. She always calls and reminds you of upcoming appointments. The only thing negative I have to say is that he is pretty expensive.
