As a health-centered practice, we understand how oral health relates to your overall health and well being, so we are honored to be part of your family's health care team.

He invests in state-of-the-art equipment, which we use to ensure that you have the most comfortable and efficient experience possible. Digital impressions provide a precise and accurate image of your tooth when you need a restoration such as a dental crown or bridge.
Do you find yourself hiding your smile and feeling too self-conscious to laugh with abandon? Did you miss out on orthodontics as a kid? Perhaps, you wanted braces at some point but were put off by the metal and wires. If your smile isn't as straight as you would like it to be, your Manchester, MO dentist, Dr. James Stanford, wants to help you.
As a father of four daughters himself, Manchester, MO dentist Dr. Stanford enjoys taking care of children. Helping them learn about their oral health and understand its importance is a passion of his. Because of this passion, he has been giving dental presentations at elementary schools for over 30 years.
At Stanford Dental, our primary goal is to help you achieve and maintain a beautiful and healthy smile for a lifetime. Sometimes this requires repairing or replacing a tooth that has been damaged or compromised.

If you find yourself with a tooth in need of repair, it can be a comfort to know that Dr. James Stanford uses high quality materials and state-of-the-art technology to ensure that the process is comfortable, and you'll receive a restoration that you can be proud of and rely on for many years to come.

The staff always treats you like family.
We have been with Dr Stanford for 20 years. When we lived in Columbia MO
we made the trip back to Ballwin to keep him as our families dentist. 5 Stars isn't high enough to rate our satisfaction level.

This is a super friendly and competent dental group for the whole family. They are so very thorough in care and take time to answer any questions. My kids have felt comfortable here since they were little and still come as adults.

1st visit, everyone very friendly, met Dr. Stanford right away. Everyone kept me informed of each step getting started, then a full explanation/discussion of what is needed to be done, and a beginning " plan of action". This was followed with a complete explanation of what my insurance will cover and what my charges will be to the next step of my procedure. Complete transparency.
I learned things and more personalized explanation of a plan, than any other dentist.
Very happy going here.

Dr. Stanford really took his time X-raying and doing a thorough evaluation on my teeth and mouth.
Dr. Stanford and his staff were very upbeat, kind and Patient with me through the whole experience. I am a nervous Nellie when it comes to dental work and they really helped me through it by cracking jokes and explaining everything being done to my mouth before and during the process. I am actually looking forward to my cleaning coming up. I never would have said this in the past!

The only dentist that I've ever been to that concerned with preventative care instead of reactive care. Is considered out of network by most insurances unfortunately, but that is due to the newest/highest quality tools they use and the preventative nature. Better to pay a bit more at each visit and catch something early than to wait until you need a root canal by using traditional dentists. Staff is very friendly and makes a point to be available. Would highly recommend

Everyone I’ve encountered is so friendly and make you feel at ease going there. I hadn’t been to the dentist in a long time and they didn’t make me feel bad at all. We came up with a plan together to get me teeth back in good shape. I highly recommend this office Dr. Stanford is very knowledgeable and nice and I loved my hygienist.

Dr. Stanford and his whole staff are amazing! When I first came to the office I knew that I needed a lot of work done. Dr. Stanford took time to explain what treatment was needed to keep my oral health in great shape. They did a fantastic job and now I can proudly say I enjoy smiling again. If you want a great dentist who truly cares about each and every one of his patients please consider going to Stanford Dental.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Stanford’s since the mid 80’s. He’s a great dentist. He has done a LOT of work on me. I’ve NEVER seen a needle. He’s a magician with it! He has a wonderful “bedside” manner and really wants to help his patients while trying to do the work as economically as possible. We’ve talked options but he always lets the decision up to the patient. I highly recommend him!

The staff are great people who do there job effectively while also being personable and attentive. I’ve had several different hygienists in at my appointments and all have been kind and very helpful in advising me in my dental care! Every time I go in I know I will get a better understanding of my dental situation and a good time listening to music and talking to great people!

I can't recommend Dr. Stanford's office highly enough! I've been coming here with my family for a long time (going on almost 20 years now!) and there is honestly no one else I'd rather trust my teeth with than here. Dr. Stanford and his whole team treat you like family which always makes the visit enjoyable. They are at the top of the game in dentistry staying updated with the necessary technology to take a preventative approach which is why I trust them so much. Using the right tools along with their expertise, they are highly capable of catching anything before it becomes

Awesome friendly, and professional staff. I have gone there for many years, and usually actually enjoy my time there. Dr. Stanford is always on the cutting edge of the science of new equipment. They have massage chairs and you get to choose your music genre. They have also just added a state-of-the art teeth whitening system, which I experienced yesterday. It was painless and easy, only 25 minutes at a great price. My teeth whitened at least 2 shades, and they send home a whitening pen.

I've been going to Dr. Stanford and his team now for a few years. I happen to be a longtime friend of one of his daughters so the introduction was easy. After a long time of being unhappy with my teeth I decided it was time to make a change. I've since been able to transform my smile into something I am extremely proud of and always want to show off. Every time I go to the office I am greeted with a warm welcome and smiles from the entire staff. I feel that everyone, including Dr. Stanford are extremely genuine and care for my well being and get excited along with me through the transition

Everybody at Stanford Dental is truly nothing but nice. I have gone here for about 8 years, and even though I've since moved to the city, I will still happily come back to Ballwin for appointments.

The technology is good and there are TVs set up at each chair where a nature documentary plays and you can choose your own Pandora station to listen to in the background. More importantly though, the staff knows what they're doing. My regular dental hygienist is an absolute angel; she lets me know what I'm doing wrong (grinding, not enough flossing, etc etc) without scolding and is so
