Dr. Allison Buford

Dentists in Chesterfield tend to cluster near Clarkson Road, where the sidewalks feel a little wider and the office parks blend into the tree line. Dr. Allison Buford keeps an office at 1755 Clarkson Rd, a low-slung brick building that looks like every other medical suite on the block—except this one handles cleanings, fillings, crowns, and the occasional emergency root canal without the downtown markup. The address puts you five minutes from the highway and ten from the grocery store, so a dental visit can slide neatly between errands. When the drill starts humming, most people just want the number they dialed to still work afterward; (314) 394-1914 rings through to the front desk for anything from a chipped tooth to a routine checkup. Directions are easiest pulled straight from the map—turn at the bank, pass the dry cleaner, and you’re there before the coffee in the cup holder goes cold.
