Need a dentist.

Looking for a dentist in the general vicinity of St. Louis.

So, my teeth are in pretty bad shape, and I finally worked up the nerve to deal with it. I went to the SIU dental school on an emergency basis this afternoon. They told me they can't help me - their services for a random person off the street are limited to extraction, and I need partial dentures badly. It's 15+ months to become a regular patient there, and... well, I just can't wait that long.

I need a private dentist. I'm in Granite City, and would like something close if possible. To complicate matters, I'm uninsured. (I do have a reserve of cash to work with. From my talk with the instructor at SIU, I should be able to afford this work out of pocket via the magic of terrifying student loans.)

I'll need someone gentle: I had tons of trouble just biting down for my X-Rays today. Non-judgmental preferred, too. I haven't had insurance since I was a kid, and... things are just very bad, and I already know that.

Any recommendations?

I had a great patient relationship with Dr. Jane at Premier Dental Partners.
