Meet Our Eureka Dental Team
At Eureka Smile Center, we believe that a great office begins with the right staff. We are proud to employ some of the finest dental and patient service professionals in the area. From our receptionists, to our hygienists and to the dentists themselves, our main concern is to make your visit with us as pleasant as possible.
Our receptionists have earned a reputation for cheerfulness, courtesy, and efficiency. They manage our scheduling and will help plan appointments to meet your needs, whether early morning or evenings. They can help you understand your insurance benefits and can estimate what they may cover during your visits.
At Eureka Smile Center, serving Kirkwood, Fenton, Chesterfield, and areas throughout St. Louis County, we are proud to employ some of the best dental hygienists in the field. It is the goal of our hygienists to ensure that you get the best dental cleaning possible, while maintaining your personal comfort as their chief concern. These highly trained professionals will gently remove tartar and plaque from your teeth, and help you tailor a plan to make maintenance at home more effective. Our hygienists are able to diagnose and correct such conditions as periodontal disease, gum disease, and halitosis (bad breath). They are also trained in the new technology of digital radiography, so our hygienists are able to take x-rays of your mouth using computer sensors, which can mean you'll be exposed to 10 times less harmful radiation than with traditional x-rays.
Our expert dental assistants are well trained in all aspects of dentistry, and look forward to caring for your needs. From assisting the dentist chair side, to clearly explaining treatment plans and procedures, to soothing the nerves of anxious patients, these professionals are essential to our practice.
At Eureka Smile Center, it is clear that each member of our staff views patient satisfaction and comfort as their primary concern. If you are looking for a dental family that is warm, compassionate, and highly skilled, look no further. Contact us at Eureka Smile Center today to schedule your consultation.

At Eureka Smile Center, it is of the utmost importance to us that you are as comfortable as possible for the duration of your visit, and to this end we have created a relaxing and beautiful atmosphere for our patients.

There are computers in each treatment room for patient education, as well as intraoral cameras to show the patient areas of concern in their mouths. We are also proud to employ all-digital x-rays, which subject our patients to significantly less radiation than traditional x-rays do.
Another exciting advance in dental technology that we are proud to feature for our patients from throughout St. Louis County at Eureka Smile Center is the CEREC® 3D system, which custom-creates dental restorations in mere minutes. This means that our patients are now able to enjoy full smile makeovers in just one office visit!

Sedation Dentistry for Our Eureka, Kirkwood, Fenton, and Chesterfield Patients
Dr. Griffin understands that many of his patients suffer from dental anxiety, which can make even a routine visit to his office a very difficult experience and can prevent them from seeking crucial dental care. To help such patients remain at ease and to encourage them to seek necessary treatment, Dr. Griffin is pleased to offer oral-conscious sedation dentistry.
With sedation dentistry, patients simply swallow a small pill prior to their treatment, which helps them ease into a state of calm relaxation. Patients who undergo sedation dentistry at Dr. Griffin's remain conscious and fully aware of their surroundings, but are so relaxed that they feel no anxiety during treatment. An added benefit of sedation dentistry is that it allows patients to comfortably undergo multiple procedures in one visit instead of numerous visits, which can save them time and money and help them achieve their dream smile more quickly and comfortably than ever! If you are interested in learning more about sedation dentistry at the office of Dr. Jack Griffin, contact us today to schedule a consultation.
Dr. Griffin has years of experience in sedation dentistry, has the latest in monitoring and safety equipment, and has a very well-trained staff to handle the techniques used in anxiety control. It is our pleasure to offer this to you so that your visit is relaxing, pain-free, and safe.
Cosmetic and General Dentistry Consultations at Eureka Smile Center
It is critically important to Dr. Griffin that each of his patients has the utmost confidence in the care they will receive in his hands. It is our goal at Eureka Smile Center to ensure that our patients understand all aspects of their dental care before any treatment is commenced. Before treatment, Dr. Griffin will go over all aspects of care with each patient, from appointment requirements, to potential fees, to each detail of the procedures to be performed.
If any of our current or future patients have questions or concerns about their dental care, we at Eureka Smile Center are happy to speak with them for no charge. We provide cosmetic, restorative, and family dentistry treatments for patients from Eureka, Kirkwood, Fenton, Chesterfield, and throughout St. Louis County. If you have any questions or comments for us, or would like to schedule your free consultation, please call our friendly office assistants.
Financial Information for Dental Treatment
At Eureka Smile Center, we provide services that we believe are far superior to those of our competitors, yet we work hard to maintain a fee structure that is reasonable for our area. In an effort to avoid dental "sticker shock," our patients are always fully apprised of the cost of their dental treatment before we begin any procedures.
We understand that dental treatment costs can be prohibitive to some of our patients, and we firmly believe that no person should forgo dental care because cost is a concern. Although we expect financial commitments to be honored as all work is done, those in need of financial assistance can discuss payment arrangements with our business staff before treatment is started to help decrease financial stresses after treatment. We have several payment options and also provide some independent financial payment services. We can help you find financial arrangements to suit your needs.
Insurance Benefits
It is fortunate that so many patients have insurance benefits these days. Our office accepts most dental insurance plans that are not part of an HMO. We are happy to provide the service of insurance submission to help you maximize your benefits and will follow up with insurance companies to help you receive the benefits to which you are entitled.
Scheduling a Dental Consultation at Eureka Smile Center
At Eureka Smile Center, we understand how busy our patients can be, and we work hard to accommodate their hectic schedules. We offer cosmetic, restorative, and family dentistry appointments for patients from Eureka, Kirkwood, Fenton, Chesterfield, and throughout St. Louis County as early as 7 a.m., and are also happy to schedule evening appointments. We are able to schedule appointments as far as six months in advance, as well, so we will be sure to find a time that will suit your needs.
Because we have a very busy practice, we ask that any scheduling conflicts be made known to our office staff as soon as possible. We thank you for your consideration, and we look forward to working with you.
