Convenient Access from Chesterfield
Central Park spreads across 55 acres off Chesterfield Parkway, with a lake, stream walks, public art and the outdoor amphitheater that hosts concerts. City Hall sits right beside it, and from that spot Metro West Dental and Implant Institute in Creve Coeur is about 15 minutes east. For anyone researching a dentist in Chesterfield, MO with deep experience in gums and implants, our office is led by a periodontist and built around long-term results.
From Chesterfield City Hall at 690 Chesterfield Pkwy W, follow City Center Dr to Chesterfield Pkwy W and join I-64/US 40 heading east. Stay on the interstate to I-270, go north one exit to Ladue Rd, and turn east. A left onto N New Ballas Rd brings you the rest of the way.
Count on about 15 minutes for the 9.4-mile trip, longer when I-64 and I-270 back up at rush hour. Shortly after turning onto New Ballas you pass De Smet Jesuit High School, then the Creve Coeur Government Center and post office, before arriving at 443 N New Ballas Rd Ste 244, Creve Coeur, MO 63141. Pull up Metro West on Google Maps for live turn-by-turn directions. We also have pages for nearby Ballwin and Manchester.
Office Parks, Horse Farms and a Practice That Plans for the Long Term
Chesterfield, in western St. Louis County, was incorporated in 1988 and covers about 32 square miles of rolling hills and valleys. The city describes a blend of office buildings, tree-lined neighborhoods, shopping centers and rustic horse farms, all about 25 minutes west of downtown St. Louis along Interstate 64. Its residents are served by two top-rated public school districts and St. Luke's Hospital. Neighboring Town and Country lies along the same stretch of I-64 you follow east toward our office.
Weekends here often revolve around the outdoors. Beyond Central Park's trails and Family Aquatic Center, Veterans Honor Park marks the amphitheater's south entrance. Families also visit the Butterfly House in Faust Park, run by the Missouri Botanical Garden, and Parkway Central High School sits on Woods Mill Rd.
The city also highlights its senior living facilities, and that matters for dental care. Many older adults reach the point where an old bridge fails, a denture no longer fits or several teeth have been lost to gum disease. Those are exactly the cases a periodontist-led office is trained to handle, and Metro West treats them in one place rather than sending patients between offices.
Replacing Teeth and Protecting Gums After Sixty
Gum disease is a leading reason adults lose teeth, and it tends to advance quietly with age. Medications, dry mouth and years of wear can all speed it up. Regular periodontal exams measure the pockets around each tooth so problems are treated before teeth loosen.
When teeth are already missing, there are more choices than a traditional denture. Single implants replace one tooth at a time, while All-on-X secures a full arch of teeth on a small number of implants.
Not everyone wants implants, and that is fine. Well-made dentures and partials remain a sound option, and our in-office technology allows milled and 3D-printed dentures. Dr. Shabany lays out each path, with its costs and trade-offs, so you can choose without pressure.
Planning starts with CBCT 3D imaging, which shows bone volume, nerve pathways and sinus boundaries before any implant is placed. That level of detail matters most for older patients, whose bone may have thinned after years with missing teeth.
A good checkup at this stage of life also looks beyond the teeth. Our exams include an oral cancer screening of the tongue, cheeks, throat and gums, and we note any dry mouth or sore spots under a denture. Small changes caught early are far easier to manage. For patients who feel anxious in the chair, oral conscious sedation is available as well.
Implant and Gum Care for Patients Choosing a Dentist in Chesterfield, MO
Dental Implants
Implants replace missing teeth with fixed restorations that look and function like natural teeth. Each case is planned from 3D images of the jaw before surgery.
Full-Mouth Rehabilitation
When many teeth are failing at once, a single coordinated plan rebuilds the bite as a whole. Chesterfield patients avoid a decade of patchwork repairs that never quite fit together.
Periodontics
Deep cleanings and gum grafting help stop gum disease from taking more teeth. This is the heart of Dr. Shabany's specialty.
Laser Dentistry
Laser periodontal treatment targets infected gum tissue with a minimally invasive approach. Laser gum contouring can also even out an irregular gum line.
Preventative Dentistry
Regular cleanings and oral cancer screenings matter more with age, not less. They also keep implants and natural teeth healthy for years to come.
Meet Dr. Shabany
Dr. Khaled Shabany, DMD, MS completed three years of post-graduate study in the Northwestern University Dental School Graduate Periodontics Program in Chicago. He later served as an Assistant Professor at the SIU School of Dental Medicine, and that teaching background shows in how carefully he explains each option.
Insurance & Financing
Before implant treatment begins, you get a detailed breakdown of the cost and what insurance is expected to pay. Patients without coverage can join the Metro West Dental Savings Plan, which takes 10% off dental implants, and Cherry financing can spread the rest into monthly payments.
Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Metro West Dental and Implant Institute from Chesterfield, and how do I get there?
Chesterfield City Hall is 9.4 miles from our office, a drive of about 15 minutes. Take Chesterfield Pkwy W to I-64/US 40 east, then I-270 north to the Ladue Rd exit and left on N New Ballas Rd. Residents choosing a dentist in Chesterfield, MO for implant or gum care will find us at 443 N New Ballas Rd Ste 244.
Can older Chesterfield residents trade a loose denture for implants?
Often, yes. All-on-X uses a small number of implants to anchor a full arch of fixed teeth, so nothing has to come out at night. Whether it suits you depends on bone volume and gum health, which CBCT 3D imaging and a periodontal exam reveal at your consultation.
Is the drive from Central Park different from the City Hall route?
Barely. City Hall sits beside Central Park, so park visitors use the same roads: Chesterfield Pkwy W to I-64/US 40 east, then I-270 north to Ladue Rd. A concert at the amphitheater or a morning at the aquatic center can easily share a day with a dental visit.
Does Chesterfield's size change how long the drive takes?
Yes, it can. The city covers about 32 square miles, so homes at its outer edges sit farther out than City Hall. Because I-64 runs through the city, most drives still join the same eastbound route to I-270 and New Ballas Rd, adding only the minutes it takes to reach the interstate.
Why see a periodontist instead of a general dentist for implants?
A periodontist has advanced training in the gums and the bone that support teeth and implants. Dr. Shabany completed a three-year graduate periodontics program at Northwestern University, and he treats gum disease, grafts tissue and places implants within one practice. That continuity helps when a case involves both bone loss and tooth replacement.
