Raised in New York, New York, just walking distance from Fashion Avenue, Park Avenue and 5th Avenue, Dr. Thompson has always had a fine eye for aesthetic detail. This attention to detail is what led her to pursue a career in cosmetic dentistry. After working in Manhattan for a few years, she left New York to pursue her Bachelors of Science degree at The Pennsylvania State University. She earned a Doctorate in Dental Medicine from the Southern Illinois University School of Dental Medicine in Alton, Illinois. After graduation, she would return to New York to complete a residency at the Albert Einstein School of Medicine in the Bronx, NY. After finishing her doctorate and post-doctorate studies, Dr. Thompson entered private practice. She has been in solo practice for about 10 years and has owned her own cosmetic dentistry practice, just outside of St. Louis, Missouri, for more than 7 years. She is in the top 5% of cosmetic dentists, nationally, that hold a special I.V. sedation license in addition to a dental license. Dr. Thompson has placed thousands of veneers and crowns in the past decade of practicing cosmetic dentistry. She is very experienced in full mouth rehabs of patients with severely poor dentition. She is highly talented in her abilities to match tooth shade, tooth contour and tooth translucency in order to give her patients natural looking white teeth.
Dr. Sarah Thompson is well-known in the St. Louis community and is very personable with patients that she treats. She is a proud member of the American Dental Association, the Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, and the Academy of General Dentistry. Dr. Thompson has completed hundreds of hours of post-doctoral continuing education courses and holds numerous awards and certifications from around the country from Los Angeles to New York in various fields of dentistry, including Invisalign, I.V. and oral sedation, cosmetic dentistry, and general dentistry.
I visited their new location and the first thing I noticed was the smell of pumpkin spice candles when I walked in the door. The waiting room is homey and their television is set to HGTV. Makes the wait very pleasant!
I had my first visit here this afternoon and I love it. There is no doubt that I will be making this my primary dentist! The staff is friendly, thorough, and patient. I definitely suggest checking them out.
Every aspect of the care my young son and I received at Soft Touch Dentistry was excellent. Everyone is kind and professional, and makes a visit to the dentist as easy and comfortable as possible. Highly recommend!!

I'm always terrified to go to the dentist. But every time I've had an appointment here, I always leave asking myself why I was so scared! Very comfortable and pleasant atmosphere, kind and friendly staff... I honestly can't think of a single bad thing to say about this place. Love it!

Dr. Thompson is simply the best. She's kind, gentle, and knows how to make her patients feel at ease. Her staff has the best customer service skills that I have ever seen in a medical practice. I would highly recommend Dr. Thompson to anyone looking for a dentist.

Let me start by saying, I've never been a fan of going to the dentist, but Dr.Thompson and the whole staff at Soft Touch Dentistry are super friendly, professional and very attentive to your needs, making the whole experience pleasant. They've definitely taken away the fear and nervousness.... I'll be back in 6mos!

My family and I have been coming here for years. Belinda, the smiling face at the front desk, is so pleasant and helpful. All of the staff are super friendly. Dr Thompson is the best dentist I've ever had. Years prior to coming to Soft Touch I had a horrible experience that caused fear to go to the dentist. Soft Touch Dentistry has changes my mind about going to the dentist.

I served 8 years in the military and I have seen about 15 different dentists in that time. I was referred to Soft Touch Dentistry by the VA. I had several teeth that needed crowns. These ladies are amazing. They actually listen, constantly check to see if your in pain. They are gentle, fast and efficient! My crowns are beautiful, and came back in about 2 weeks from the lab. 2 weeks wasn't bad, considering the temporary crowns they gave me looked great and fit my mouth just right. Best experience I've had with a dentist's office.

Dr. Sarah and her staff are wonderful! After chipping my front tooth and searching for a talented cosmetic dentist, I discovered Soft Touch Dentistry and Dr. Sarah Thompson, and I am so glad that I did! She explained all of my options, calmed my nerves, and repaired my tooth with a veneer that looks just like my natural tooth! She even came in on a Sunday to repair my temporary veneer that had come loose!! I have already recommended Dr. Sarah to all my friends!

As someone who is extremely anxious about getting dental work done thanks to years at a pretty awful pediatric dentist, I was so relieved to find out that dental work can actually be pleasant. I started going to Soft Touch about 3 years ago, and I really would rather not go anywhere else. Friendly, professional, down-to-Earth place with awesome staff. And it doesn't even smell that much like a dentist's office, which is probably the best part.
