Dr. May knows that helping patients achieve optimal health is about more than oral hygieneits also about getting to know his patients and connecting with them. For him, dentistry is a blend of art, science, and human connection.
I love connecting with patients and developing a long-lasting personal relationship with them. Also, I love helping patients regain their confidence, relieve their discomfort, and develop optimal dental health as well as overall wellness. Dr. Christopher May, DMD
The personal connection Dr. May strives for with each patient makes his career rewarding and the visit more enjoyable for his patient. He really enjoys talking with people, learning their motivations and apprehensions, and working with them as a team to conquer those obstacles in order to achieve their oral health goals. He listens to each patient and recommends treatment based on what he would do for his own family.
Dr. Mays AEGD residency was his first form of continuing education following dental school. It gave him a deeper understanding of the most advanced techniques in cosmetic dentistry, endodontics, extractions, and implant dentistry.
But Dr. May didnt stop there. He later completed a ten-month mini-residency and implant fellowship through Regents University in Atlanta. Upon completing that residency, he earned his associate fellowship from the American Academy of Implant Dentistry.
Oral healthcare is ever-evolving. Its essential for Dr. May to stay current on innovative materials, techniques, and new technologies in order to provide the highest quality of care and results for his patients. Through continuing education coursesincluding seminars, lectures, and annual meetingshe stays up-to-date on new technology and treatment options and information. He retains various memberships in professional associations to be in-the-know so he can provide the best care and experience for his patients. A few of those memberships include the following:
Dr. May grew up in Mount Prospect, a northwest Chicago suburb. He attended dental school much closer to Granite City in Alton, and he is happy to call the Metro East area home. His wife Emily grew up in Bethalto and theyre happy to be living close to family. They are proud parents to their daughters, Hadley and Charlotte, and their Silver Labrador Retriever, Maisey.
Dr. May and his family enjoy the Missouri Botanical Gardens, the area museums and zoo, and the farmers markets. They enjoy being outside and giving Maisey a chance to play. Dr. May enjoys watching sports, playing golf, running, and reading.

Dr. May is pleasant and very easy to communicate with. He did a great job on a new crown on one of my front teeth. I trust his judgment as well as his abilities. His staff is pleasant as well.

My family has been patients of Metro East for close to 20 years. Although we have no problem with Dr. May himself the front office staff is rude. There has been some nicer people over the years but the last couple of years we have encountered numerous unpleasant...and that's putting it nicely... interactions with a couple of the ladies in the front. Sadly we will be ending our long standing relationship with Metro East.

I Love my new dental office. I am a new patient because my daughter in law, Jessica Jones is one of the hygenist. Sandy and Darlene at the front desk are both so friendly and helpful. I actually give them 10 stars. You can tell, Dr. May loves his office and staff. I say, call them and you will be happy.

This was the first regular dentist my son went to. I always took him to a pediatric dentist. The hygienist made his visit so comfortable. She made sure he had a positive experience. Awesome service
