Had an unfortunate experience of getting floss stuck in between teeth and was able to get in to see Dr. Mahlin the same day. I really appreciate the professionalism of Dr. Mahlin and his entire staff and I was very happy to be taken care of the same day!

I’m never a fan of going to the dentist, but I honestly don’t mind going to see Dr. Mahlin and his team. Ever since Dr. Boyle was there (whom I greatly enjoyed), I have had wonderful experiences with the team at Clarkson Dental. It’s odd that I seem to know everyone’s name. It starts with Jerri... always greeting with pleasant banter when I come in for my 7:00am appointments, even on Mondays. Kim is my hygienist, and she does a wonderful, thorough job while being gentle as a lamb. Pat help Dr. Mahlin with a recent crown I had put in, and she kept it lighthearted and fun, and was a tremendous partner to Dr. Mahlin. Caleb proudly takes my money and manages to laugh at my stupid jokes. I recently met Lauren and she’s as fun and pleasant as the rest. So basically... it’s not like getting a root canal when you work with this team. Oh, and Dr. Mahlin is pretty good himself. He provides sound advice, let’s you know what to expect, and gives you some options. Great team! Even though I really don’t enjoy going to the dentist.
- Dave O
I have been a patient of this practice for 17 years and have had consistently excellent care. The team is friendly and always on their game. Dr. Mahlin has great skills, takes a conservative approach to care, really cares about delivering great dentistry and is wonderful to talk to. I highly recommend Dr. Mahlin and Clarkson Dental Group!
- Matt G
Always very professional and inviting. Could not imagine going anyplace else.
- Dolores S
I actually look forward to my visits. I’ve gotten good reports and work at keeping them that way. Nikki takes excellent care with her cleaning, polishing, and suggestions about how to continue keeping oral care important and easier. Dr Mahlin informs me if I need to consider a procedure or how well I’m managing to care for my teeth. The entire staff seems to work well with each other, are always professional, and make me feel well tended.
- Susan W
When I recently moved to the Chesterfield area, one thing I was looking for was a dentist who was close to where I lived. I located Clarkson Dental Group on Baxter Road. I was greeted by the receptionist, the assistant and had a great visit with the dentist! The staff at Clarkson Dental Group made me feel very welcome. I look forward to my next appointment.
- Alison B
All staffs and doctors treating patient very professionally with great care

Dr. Mahlin and his staff are wonderful in every way - all exhibit expertise beyond compare, and are so friendly and caring. I drive 35 miles round trip for my visits though there are many dentists much closer and I do not plan to change that.

-Dennis F
An absolutely amazing and wonderful staff. I am someone who sincerely hates the dentist and had not been for quite some time. I must say that Clarkson Dental has been the perfect solution to getting back in the swing of things. Though I can’t say that I’m eagerly looking forward to my next visit, I can say that I’m confident of it because of this great office. Highly recommended.
-Tony F

-Ellen P
Very very friendly staff! Great experience from start to finish. I would highly recommend Dr.Mahlin and his staff at Clarkson Dental Group!
-Kelsey W
Dr. Mahlin and his staff are absolutely wonderful! His bedside manner is among the best, if not the best, when it comes to compassionate, patient-centered care. He even called me after I had a new crown placed just to see how I was doing. He's thoughtful, gentle (both as a person and as a dentist), and most importantly is excellent at dentistry! His staff couldn't be friendlier or more accomodating and I have never had a long wait in the waiting room. I would give him 10 stars if this rating scale allowed it!
-Gregory P
Have been patient for years and couldn’t imagine going anywhere else! Staff is super friendly and great dentistry practice overall. Would highly recommend!
-Ashely H
My husband and I have been patients at Clarkson Dental Group for many years. We have always been extremely happy with their quality of care and expertise, and we continue to feel this way since Dr Mahlin has joined the practice. This is the most well-run medical office I have ever been in. They are always on time, they never take longer than what's scheduled, and I've never felt rushed when I've asked questions or wanted to talk about the treatment or options. ALL of the staff are friendly, professional, patient, and caring. They are all genuinely good people. I highly, highly recommend them!
-Pamela B
Everyone is friendly - they seem like a family. The dental work is done as gently but comprehensively as possible. Any questions or concerns are addressed attentively.

-Jan S
I've been a patient for 16 years and have never known anything less than wonderfully personal, completely professional, and totally compassionate care from Clarkson Dental Group. I have always and will continue to give them my very highest recommendation!
-Gretchen H
Everyone is very friendly, never have a problem with insurance, all my work done has been with very little to no discomfort (crowns and fillings). I have been going there for more than 10 years. I would definitely recommend Clarkson Dental Group.
-Brad B
I have been with Clarkson Dental Group for over 30 years. I loved Dr. Boyle and when he retired the transition to Dr. Mahlin was so smooth. Dr. Mahlin is fantastic. Great practice with people who really care about your health. Couldn't be happier!
-Kim V
This is the first time I have ever done a review before having any service provided, but Dr. Mahlin and his staff deserve this praise. Never have I met a more welcoming, warm dentist like Dr. Mahlin. I have anxiety about dental procedures and Dr. Mahlin made me feel so comfortable with his calm, caring care. He only developed my treatment plan so far, but he wants me to be in charge of how we proceed. I have significant work scheduled already because I trusted him completely. He even sent me a hand written thank you note...a doctor! In his own handwriting! I am blown away by his sweet nature and I just know that I will become a lifetime patient.
-Lisa S
Visited Clarkson Dental Group with my daughter today for a consult. From the set up on the phone with Caleb, to the hygienist Lauren and of course Dr. Mahlin, the experience was ideal. Knowledgeable professionals...just perfect patient experience.
-Sharon G
What a great place to have your teeth worked on! The whole staff is professional and friendly! My hygienist Nikki was accommodating and made me feel comfortable during my appointment.
-Joseph S
I never thought that I would feel so comfortable and at ease in a new dentist office, however Nikki (my hygienist) was so professional and kind that I forgot to be nervous. I felt that I was the only important person who would be seen that day, although the office was busy. From the moment I walked in the door and was greeted with a smile, I knew that I had found a wonderful dentist office!
-Angelia G
Everyone at the practice is super friendly, starting from the front desk to Dr. Mahlin. I normally get the first appointment in the morning and I have never had to wait. I have been going to them for probably 20 years and have never had an issue that isn't promptly resolved. Last time I had my crown done, Dr. Mahlin even gave me his mobile number in case of an issue. I'll definitely recommend them.
-Sanjiv B

Dr. Mahlin and staff are the best! During these uncertain times, this office has taken every precaution in safety and cleanliness for their patients. They are professionals, kind and caring , and are genuinely concerned for the health and well-being of their patients. You can trust them with your care. My family has been going to Clarkson Dental for over 25 years and would never go anywhere else. We are always treated like family.

Wonderfully attentive and dedicated! Couldn't ask for more. Pricing very competitive. Worth the trip!
-Bob S
They do a great job of keeping your oral health in optimal shape. Also they are always on time so you are not kept waiting.
-Sue Fay K
Excellent experience! Coming back after being at home so long during the stay at home order could have make someone nervous, but their procedures they have in place are thoughtful and excellent. And as always, the staff is super friendly.
-Rachelle A
I'd not been here before, I called in the morning and was in by 11:00. I had a back molar that was hurting so bad!! Also I don't have insurance due the pandemic. They worked with me and I received a discount. Extracted the tooth within just a few mins. Very friendly staff, Dr. Scott Mahlin is amazing he has had his business in Chesterfield for 30 years. I plan to return to him again. Very satisfied. Thank you,
-Cynthia M.
Dr.Mahlin and his staff always provide a comfortable experience at the dentist’s office. They provide the education that I need to keep my teeth and gums healthy. I look forward to my check- ups!
-Diane R.
Great people. Great service. Always looking out for you. Dental health with no hassles.
-Stephen M.
Dr. Mahlin and his team have stepped up to the challenge of practicing dentistry in the midst of the Covid pandemic. Despite the changes that have been instituted, the dental care continues to be of the highest quality. I have recently completed my second appointment during this COVID pandemic, once again Dr. Mahlin and team have provided excellent dental care. I highly recommend Clarkson Dental Group.
-Silvanovich
Had a good experience with Dr. Mahlin, et al putting the finishing touches on my (first) root canal procedure...
-Scott M.
Dr. Mahlin and his staff have made it easy to come back to the dentist after years of dealing with dental anxiety due to some botched dental work done by a different practice. They made me feel comfortable and aware of what they would be doing and what I should expect. After my first procedure Dr. Mahlin called that night to check-in on me. Nikki is my dental hygienist and unlike other hygienist I have seen she explains what she is doing, what it will feel like and gently goes about her work. I recommend Clarkson Dental Group and Dr. Mahlin to anyone that has dental fear and anxiety.
-Andy A.
Front desk is always efficient and so very friendly. Have had the same hygienist for years, who I absolutely adore! She worked with my boys when they were little and still asks about them now that they are grown and have moved to other states. I trust Dr Mahlin and his staff to care for me and my family. His approach to treatment is conservative and effective. He has even cared for an elderly family member in a minor emergency during a time when he was supposed to be off work. I highly recommend this practice to anyone looking!
-Nancy B.
I love this place. I used to be ashamed of my smile. When I first came to Clarkson Dental Group, I had been rarely, if ever, brushing or caring for my teeth, holding my lips together when I smiled, and not seeing a dentist for at least 12 years--I was terrified to hear how bad it was, and had accepted the idea that they'd fall out one day. When I dragged myself in to see Dr. Mahlin, tail between my legs, they gave me the news: "It's really not too bad, we'll have to do a deep clean, maybe put in a few fillings, we'll get you all fixed up!" Sure enough, Kim did an excellent job getting my teeth and gums looking and feeling great again in no time! I can't put in to words how much a proud smile can restore your confidence. So grateful for this team! Now I look forward to going to the dentist, it's like going to see family and walking away feeling recharged and ready to go! Dr. Mahlin and his team are extremely knowledgeable, accommodating, kind, and I'd recommend them to anyone looking for the best dental care with the best people.
-Clay M.
I highly recommend Dr. Mahlin and his staff. I have severe anxiety when it comes to dentist. From the very first call I made to them they were amazing. I have always had a bad experience at the dentist to the point of I stopped going unless a emergency. Well of course I had unbearable tooth pain only problem was Dr. wasn't in the office. Caleb was amazing, kind and helpful from the moment he answered the phone but I was trying to get in asap. I hung up and Caleb sent me a text if I couldn't find someone sooner or needed anything to call back. I called a few other places but something kept telling me to go there. I'm so glad I did! Everyone was amazing didn't get upset or rush me when I cried from just walking in the door or sitting in the chair. They walked me through everything and made sure I was always comfortable. I would recommend them to everyone.
-Melissa B.
A great team at Clarkson Dental. Caring, painless, and friendly. I highly recommend the Clarkson Dental Group with Dr. Mahlin.
-Diane A.
The staff here is very caring & efficient. I'm going through some other medical issues & they were very compassionate. Kim & Dr. M made sure I had everything I need until I can resume dental care again.
-Jill S.
They do a great job of keeping your oral health in optimal shape. Also they are always on time so you are not kept waiting.
-Sue Fay K.
Friendly and knowledgeable staff that go out of their way to personalize a otherwise unpleasant personal bodily upkeep experience. I have been going to Dr. Boyle and now Dr. Mahlin for over 25 years and would not trust my teeth to anyone else! Just make an appointment and quit googling to find the perfect dentist office......you found it.
- Carolyn S.
The whole team at Clarkson Dental is like visiting great friends who take the time to make you feel comfortable. Each one taking time to go over everything with you and assure you they have your health and interest first. Dr. Scott Mahlin and his team are exceptional.
- Kelly L.
Very attentive, thorough staff! Was in today receiving a crown and fillings-I felt absolutely nothing during the procedure and was impressed with how quickly the appointment went and how thoroughly the dentist explained everything. I highly recommend this dental group!
- Tracie S.
Routine visit today, and a positive experience as always. The entire staff is so friendly and very professional. I always feel comfortable at Clarkson Dental Group no matter what I'm having done. Long-time patient. Highly recommend this practice.
- Tom C.
Prompt, professional. Very kind front staff members, excellent hygienists. It is really convenient to schedule appointments via text message. They are always on time, which I appreciate. They do an excellent job, would recommend Clarkson Dental Group to everyone!
- Kayla H.
The staff at Clarkson Dental Group does an amazing job. From Geri and Caleb in the front, Nikki, the dental hygienist and Dr. Mahlin, they are the upmost professional, caring and gentle staff you will find anywhere. I have complete trust in their skill and dental care. Thanks for all you do!
-Kevin T.
"Everyone in the office, from the front office to the hygienist (Nikki) to Dr. Mahlin, was incredibly friendly, professional and very welcoming. They explained everything very thoroughly and answered all of my questions. It was a great experience!"
- Jeremy Amato
"A wonderful experience from start to finish! The front office staff are very friendly and efficient. My hygienist is not only professional and knowledgeable but takes time to explain anything I may have a question about, as well as making me feel totally at ease in the dentists 's chair, even through a deep cleaning.
Dr. Mahlin, whether checking in on a cleaning or repairing a tooth, applies his skill as well personality always leaving me with confidence in my smile. In addition when Dr. Mahlin calls me the evening after a tooth repair just to check in on me, I feel truly cared for!"
- Michael Vrbicky
"This is an exceptional dental group in every aspect. Dr. Mahlin is an excellent dentist, compassionate and very skilled and knowledgeable in his field. He listens to and spends a great deal of time with his patients. And he has the very best staff around!! To a person, they are friendly, kind and sensitive to their patients’ concerns and needs. I would highly recommend this group to anyone!"
- Susan Jentes
"Probably the nicest group of people in any office I've ever visited. Everyone is polite, professional and just plain friendly. My hygienist and the dentist sit and chat before "jumping in" to do their work. I switched here for the convenient location (and positive reviews that I read) and I am happy with my decision.
I am self pay and their rates are slightly higher than my last dental group but not enough for me to switch back. I also have not been pressured for extra, unnecessary services like my last dental group used to do."
- Mary Chiodini
