Convenient Access from Overland
Lackland Rd is the civic spine of Overland, with City Hall and the Frank Munsch Community Center a short stretch apart. From there, Metro West Dental and Implant Institute in Creve Coeur is about 16 minutes away, and you never need to touch an interstate to get here. If you want a dentist in Overland, MO neighbors can reach on familiar local roads, our periodontist-led office restores chipped, worn and missing teeth and treats the gums that hold them.
Leave Overland City Hall at 9119 Lackland Rd by way of Goodale Ave, then follow Lackland Rd west to Ashby Rd. Turn south on Ashby, which carries on as N Warson Rd, and continue to Olive Blvd (MO 340). Head west on Olive through the Creve Coeur shopping corridor, then turn south onto N New Ballas Rd.
The drive is about 6.8 miles and takes around 16 minutes, since Olive is lined with traffic signals that slow things down at rush hour. Our building at 443 N New Ballas Rd Ste 244, Creve Coeur, MO 63141 comes up less than half a mile after the turn; if you reach the Creve Coeur Government Center, you have gone just past us. Find us on Google Maps before you set out. Our pages for Olivette and Ladue cover the communities between here and there.
Parks, Pickleball and a Practice for Active Overland Residents
Like nearby Maryland Heights, this St. Louis County city likes to stay moving. The Frank Munsch Community Center at 9225 Lackland Rd offers fitness classes, racquetball, basketball, pickleball and a walking track. Woodson Road Park adds a dog park and tennis courts, and Norman Myers Park sits on Midland Blvd.
The best-known green space is Wild Acres Park, also on Midland Blvd. It preserves an estate Charles Garnett developed in 1903 and now holds a 2.5-acre lake, a wilderness refuge, a paved walking trail and a nature trail. The lake is being restored, with restocking by the Missouri Department of Conservation expected in 2027.
Across its nine parks and pavilions, the city hosts concerts in the park and a citywide garage sale, the kind of events that keep neighbors in touch. Active people sometimes take a racquet or an elbow to the mouth, and a busy household eventually needs more than a cleaning. Metro West is set up to handle both, from a cracked front tooth to a full replacement.
When Teeth Break, Wear Down or Go Missing
A chipped tooth is easy to ignore if it does not hurt. Yet a crack can let bacteria reach the nerve, and a sharp edge can cut the tongue or cheek. New patients can book our $49 Emergency Exam & X-Ray, which covers one problem area with a focused exam and one x-ray, so you know quickly whether a small bonding repair or a crown is the right fix.
Missing teeth are a bigger concern than many people realize. When a gap stays open, the neighboring teeth drift and the bone underneath begins to shrink. Dental implants replace the root as well as the crown, which helps keep the jaw stable over time.
Dr. Shabany plans implants with CBCT 3D imaging and uses surgical guides printed in our office on a SprintRay PRO 3D printer. For carefully selected candidates with the right bone quality, same-day dental implants shorten the usual timeline by placing a temporary tooth at the same appointment as the implant. Candidacy is evaluated honestly before anyone commits.
Behind most lost teeth sits a long history of gum disease. As a periodontist, Dr. Shabany treats that underlying infection too, so a new implant is not placed into a mouth that is still losing ground. Healthy gums are what make every repair last.
Worn teeth are the quieter version of the same story. Years of grinding, acidic drinks or an uneven bite can flatten edges until teeth look shorter and feel sensitive to cold. Overland adults who notice that wear can have it measured at a routine exam, and the fix may be as simple as a bite guard or as involved as new crowns. Either way, the plan starts with the cause, not just the damage.
Care Options for Anyone Considering a Dentist in Overland, MO
Restorative Dentistry
Fillings, crowns and bridges repair teeth damaged by decay, wear or a hard knock on the court. The goal is a bite that feels even and works for years.
Dental Implants
An implant fills a gap with a fixed tooth that does not slip or need removing at night. Overland patients have their implants planned with 3D imaging and printed surgical guides.
Periodontics
Deep pockets, receding gums and bone loss are treated by a trained periodontist. Controlling gum disease protects natural teeth and implants alike.
Full-Mouth Rehabilitation
When many teeth are worn, broken or missing, a coordinated plan rebuilds the whole bite at once. This avoids years of piecemeal fixes that never quite add up.
Preventative Dentistry
Cleanings, exams and digital x-rays keep new problems from developing. They also protect the investment you have made in restorations and implants.

Insurance & Financing
Larger treatment, like implants or a full-mouth plan, rarely fits neatly inside an insurance maximum. Cherry financing and other flexible financing options help cover the remaining balance. We also file claims with a multitude of insurance providers on your behalf.
Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Metro West Dental and Implant Institute from Overland, and how do I get there?
It is roughly 6.8 miles from Overland City Hall, around a 16-minute drive. The route follows Lackland Rd west, Ashby Rd and N Warson Rd south, Olive Blvd west, and N New Ballas Rd south. Anyone who wants a dentist in Overland, MO within easy reach will find us at 443 N New Ballas Rd Ste 244 in Creve Coeur.
Is there a way to reach the office from Overland using only local streets?
Yes. The whole trip uses surface streets: Lackland Rd, Ashby Rd, N Warson Rd, Olive Blvd and N New Ballas Rd. That makes the drive a comfortable option for anyone who would rather skip highway merging altogether. The trade-off is a few more traffic lights along Olive Blvd.
What if I crack a tooth playing pickleball at the Frank Munsch Community Center?
Call us during office hours, Monday through Thursday, and save any broken piece. New patients can book the $49 Emergency Exam & X-Ray, covering one problem area with a focused exam and one x-ray. Dr. Shabany will then explain whether bonding, a crown or another repair makes the most sense.
Are implant surgical guides made in your office?
Yes. After CBCT 3D imaging maps the bone, nerves and sinus, the implant position is planned on screen and a matching surgical guide is printed on our SprintRay PRO 3D printer. The guide carries that plan into surgery. For carefully selected candidates, it also supports same-day dental implants with a temporary tooth.
Do you treat gum disease as well as replacing missing teeth?
Yes, and the two often go together. Dr. Shabany is a periodontist, so he treats deep pockets, recession and bone loss in the same office where implants are planned. Getting the gums under control first gives any replacement tooth a much better foundation for the long term.
