St. Louis Dentist - William J. Schlotz, DDS - PLAZA HEALTH Dentistry
Conservative General Dentistry with a Focus on Implant & Cosmetic Treatment
employing *Sedation*, Anti-Anxiety & Relaxation Dentistry Techniques!
Welcome to our St. Louis Dental Office - PLAZA HEALTH Dentistry! We at PHD are on a Mission to provide Conservative Aesthetic & Implant Dentistry with an unusual respect for a *Relaxed Level of Comfort* and Affordability -- with singular attention and pampering paid to our valued patients. Our experienced dental caregivers provide Minimally-Invasive General Dentistry with a Focus on Cosmetic & Implant Treatment delivered with extraordinary attention-to-detail and an enduring commitment to World Class Ultimate-Quality of Care.
When you visit our State-of-the-Art Dental Office you will experience all that modern dentistry has to offer. We have transformed a former Pier-One Building into one of the area's most high-tech & up-to-date dental offices. At PHD we offer scientifically advanced, laser-based minimally-invasive oral health care in a pristine and esthetic setting.
Imagine for a moment ... Sitting in a gorgeous reception area replete with 2 LCD TV's and flat "screen" aquariums, interesting oil paintings with a large fan hanging from a 25 foot ceiling surrounded by glass block and angular walls -adjoining an inviting "cloud-covered" front desk area. Before long ... you're being escorted down a winding hallway lined by functional, yet out-of-the-box styled, vessel sinks; with curved modern track-lighting & pyramidally-shaped awnings above.
Once in one of our spacious treatment rooms you'll feel the confidence and security uniquely a part of the PHD experience. During the course of evaluation and treatment planning you'll undergo a Patient Education experience that is second to none. PHD takes the time to use visual aids (video, digital X-Rays, intra-oral photographs) and hand-held models to help explain all of your treatment options.
You'll see, first hand, how PLAZA HEALTH Dentistry is a small dental office designed to provide personalized care in a relaxed, fun-loving environment. As treatment begins, you'll quickly see PHD's belief that your comfort is our first concern. Whether it be stereo headphones, Cable TV or a DVD movie, something as simple as a pillow and a "snuggie blanket", or as important as *Relaxation Dentistry* (*Sedation Dentistry* with a small pill), any anxiety seems to just drift away. Just as essential, after treatment, you'll notice, and appreciate, PLAZA HEALTH Dentistry's sincere commitment to Reasonable Fees.
Dr. William J. Schlotz, a leading St. Louis Cosmetic & Implant Dentist .... who also provides general dental care for the entire family, is very creative with treatment options -- empowering patients to select the level and type of care which make sense for them. We believe the more you learn.... the more informed your treatment decisions will be. This is called informed consent and we firmly believe in the process. First of all, we feel it is most ethically correct. And secondly, we see everyday how it can eliminate the unnecessary costs that are typically associated with making a wrong treatment choice.
To this end, Dr. Schlotz is the creator and author of a Patient Education Dental Column (in local St. Louis Newspapers) designed to empower patients through a better understanding of their oral health and the treatment options that exist in today's ever changing, exciting world of dentistry. This website is another resource we hope you’ll find both useful and interesting.
Please browse through our website and be sure to Contact Us if you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment. You may also use our Online Appointment Request Form to schedule your appointment.
At PLAZA HEALTH Dentistry -- No Lectures.... Only First-Rate Care for Your Dental Needs.

We treat our patients as we would our own family. We'd love for you to join our Practice! Hope to see you here soon... Here's to Your Optimal Oral Health!
