Living in Forest Park means you’ve got plenty of options when it comes to dental care – almost as many living residents as there are in our historic cemeteries! (We couldn’t resist that little piece of local trivia.) But seriously, with so many choices available, finding the right dentist for your needs and budget can seem overwhelming. We’re here to help make that process a whole lot easier.
We take the guesswork out of finding a great dentist by evaluating providers based on what really matters – their clinical qualifications, how happy their patients are, and how easy it is to get an appointment. Just like you might check reviews before trying a new restaurant on Madison Street, we gather detailed information about local dentists to help you make an informed choice. Our thorough vetting process means you can trust that any dentist on our Best Dentist list has met rigorous quality standards.
Some of the dentists listed below may pay for a sponsored listing or agree to put a DenScore badge on their website in order to be recognized, but they are held to the same strict quality control guidelines as every other provider on this list. Whether you choose a dentist from this list or not, we always recommend doing your own research beforehand. For more information, please refer to our Terms of Service.

Choosing the right dental insurance can definitely make treatment more affordable, but navigating the options can feel as complex as finding your way through Forest Home Cemetery! For families who qualify, Medicaid provides free dental care for children, though adult coverage is more limited. If you’re a senior, while basic Medicare doesn’t cover dental care, many Medicare Advantage plans offer excellent coverage that can help with costly procedures. We can help you understand which insurance options make the most sense for your situation.
The best way to keep dental costs down is prevention – maintaining good oral hygiene habits costs a lot less than fixing problems later. Beyond brushing and flossing, watching your sugar intake (yes, even those tempting Ferrara candies!) and avoiding tobacco will help keep your smile healthy. Staying with an in-network dentist usually saves money. No insurance? Don’t worry! Many dental offices offer membership plans that make care more affordable. Prices can vary significantly between dentists, so it’s worth calling around to compare costs for specific procedures if you’re paying cash.
Whether you have a tooth that needs to be fixed, a gum problem, or concerns about your smile, there are likely multiple ways to treat your condition. DenScore’s free online dental tool will provide you with information so you can ask your dentist the right questions and get the high-quality dental care you deserve.
