Dr. Winsome Henry-Ward – Your Gentle Dentist

Dr. Henry-Ward decided to be a dentist when she was a small child. She watched her childhood dentist work on her teeth in the reflection of his glasses and never felt anxiety or pain from his care. As she grew, she never wavered in her desire to provide the same kind of gentle dental care she experienced and wanted to keep people’s smiles healthy. Dr. Henry-ward achieved that goal and has been practicing general dentistry since 1989, always right here in the St. Louis, Missouri area. She feels it is vitally important that you are comfortable with the dental procedures being performed and with the expertise of care. She never wants you to avoid completing the dental work needed to maintain a healthy mouth and overall good health. With her 25+ years of experience, comfortable state-of-the-art office, and caring team, she strives to deliver the gentle, quality dental care that you deserve.

What Our Patients Say

Since having my first traumatic experience as a 9 year old with an army dentist I was always anxious about going to the dentist; my muscles would get tense, and I would grip the arms of the dentist chair, anticipating the worst.
But what a difference Dr. Ward has made in my previously harrowing experiences with dentists. With her calm caring manner and soothing touch, I actually became more relaxed in the dentist chair. What a relief!

Then as a bonus, there are times she would softly hum a tune which even makes me more calm, like a mother soothing an anxious baby – I guess I must have been a big baby when it came to dentists, but not anymore! Thank God for Dr. Ward! And her friendly staff aren’t too bad either.

Deanna Little

Very gentle, very competent. I am very appreciative of your skill and skill of your staff. Thanks.

Shawna Silva

Beginning in 1995 Dr. Ward took over my dental care. She has proven to be as painless as I believe possible. My bridges have performed perfectly. My extractions have been very few, and my partial is working without incident. I recommend that anyone needing dental work consider using Dr. Ward.

Rudolph Hughes

One day during my morning prayer and meditation I had to look up the word honorable. The word is rich in meaning and implies the purest, highest, noblest kind of goodness. Honorable means “lovely”, “winsome”, “gracious”, “noble” and “excellent’. Your name, Winsome, definitely describes your character and your practice. God bless and keep you!!!

Jan Paul

Dr. Ward, I want you to know how much I appreciate the care I have received here. I am so happy with the improvement in my gums, and it is because of your emphasis on preventive oral care. It has made a huge difference, and I thank you.
