Went back in 2018 for a crown. Had to go back twice because it kept falling off. They fixed it for free each time however, now in 2022 my new dentist discovered my crown was never on correctly and has been spreading an infection throughout my mouth. I now have to get what's left of the tooth extracted and crowns on the two surrounding teeth. Spend the extra money you have now elsewhere instead of thousands more down the road.

This place rocks! Susan is my hygienist and she is exceptional; knowledgeable, passionate, efficient, and she doesn't try to ask you questions when her fingers are in your mouth. Couldn't recommend more!

The experience I received was amazing. Not having established a dentist yet I unfortunately had an emergency situation that caused me to call. The office was excellent from beginning on the phone for appointment to walking out the door. I have had multiple root canals in my life but none like this. I highly highly recommend Sterling Dental Care and they are just as good with children. I promise a great experience. Thank you Sterling Dental for being you. Amazing

A bit pricey, and the actual 'dentists' seem to be pulled in a million directions. I only see them for about five minutes per visit, depending on what's being done. That said, the nurses/assistants/anesthesiologists are always so kind that I have a pleasant visit every time. I have a lot of anxiety about dental work, and they go the extra mile to find ways to make me comfortable. Even if they are a bit expensive, I recommended them to anyone that suffers from fear of the dentist.

Dr Malaker and staff provide comfortable dental care with clear communication. The entire staff is excellent about explaining dental choices. They are dependable for emergency situations and long term solutions. It feels like they treat my family, like they would treat their own. My family's experience include fillings, crowns, root canals, a bridge, denture and more. We have and will continue to use Sterling Dental Care for many years.

LOVE Dr. Malaker - wonderful dentist! Very kind and patient with my questions. He has done 4 crowns, 3 fillings and one root canal for me over the years and the results have been perfect. The staff is sweet and pleasant - not sure why the few bad reviews were posted - I have NEVER had a bad experience at Sterling Dental Care!

I had old work red9ne and I told them ahead time I was on a budget. They charged me $250 more than the the price they quoted me. I had to go back and have their work redone because I couldn't chew or bite down on one side for 2 weeks. (I just had old fillings redone) They had the techs give me the shots and it took 5 before I went numb. I'm pretty sure they put them in the wrong place because I still have pain 3 months later at some of the injection sites.

They traumatized my 5 year old. She never wants to go to the dentist again because they were so ruff. Front office staff is rude. We will never go back there again. High prices for low quality work.

I thought the ambience of the office was great, and the staff was always polite and efficient. However, I agree that Dr. Malaker is, at best, a mediocre dentist. Both the crown and the dental implant he did had to be redone by another dentist less than two years later. The crown didn't fit correctly and the implant was placed incorrectly. It has been 4 years since my last appointment there, and I'm still trying to get these two issues resolved with my new dentist/oral surgeon.

My family started going to Sterling Dental Care a few years ago and we are very impressed with the friendliness of the staff and how professional they all are while still being very friendly. We think he is the best dentist in Columbia MO. Our son was about 3 when we started going there and did not like anyone messing around inside his mouth. They were great with him.

They took the time to slowly gain his trust over a few visits, by getting him used to letting them look inside his mouth, then "tickling" whatever teeth he would let them. Now he loves them also and looks forward to his visits to the dentist.

My family has been going to Sterling Dental since they opened. We love the staff and we love Dr. Malaker. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and they know me and my family by name when we come in. Dr. Malaker is good with the kids and is able to put them at ease when working on them. He even does braces so we were able to get our dental work and orthodontic work done at the same place! I would highly recommend Sterling Dental!
