Meet Your Gentle Dentist – Dr. Winsome Henry-Ward

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.

“Dr. Henry-Ward is such a kind-hearted person who believes in excellent dentistry. She’s very thoughtful about treatment planning, counseling patients and helping them feel at ease. She truly is ‘The Best Gentle Dentist.’ She was a hygienist prior to becoming a dentist, so she is passionate about treating gum disease as she knows how it affects overall health. Plus, she loves to laugh and sing throughout the office! I wish I had found her years ago because I love working with/for her.”
