Dr. Julie Ring, DDS
Dr. Julie Ring is a St. Louis native who is proud to provide compassionate, high-quality dental care to patients of all ages. Born and raised in Creve Coeur, Missouri, she attended Ladue High School before being selected for an exclusive six-year combined BA/DDS program at the University of Missouri–Kansas City (UMKC). She was one of only 19 students nationwide chosen for this innovative program and graduated cum laude in 1994, earning her bachelor’s degree and Doctor of Dental Surgery simultaneously.
Following dental school, Dr. Ring completed a General Practice Residency at Jewish Hospital in St. Louis, where she was later selected to remain on staff as a Fellow in Hospital Dentistry. During this time, she gained extensive experience treating medically complex patients in both hospital and private practice settings, including trauma care, geriatric dentistry, dental infections, and emergency treatment.
Dr. Ring has also been a strong advocate for underserved populations, establishing dental offices within nursing homes to provide essential care for residents who otherwise lacked access. Her work reflects a lifelong commitment to preventive dentistry and comprehensive patient care.
In 2000, Dr. Ring shifted her focus to private practice in Chesterfield, where she continues to serve the St. Louis community. She is joined by a close-knit family of medical professionals in the area, including her husband, Dr. Daniel Ring, a dermatologist whose practice is conveniently located next to Generation Dental Group.

Why I Love Dentistry
“I love dentistry because it allows me to build lasting relationships while helping people feel healthier and more confident. I enjoy combining science, precision, and creativity to solve problems and improve smiles, but what matters most to me is making patients feel comfortable and cared for. I understand that visiting the dentist can be stressful for many people, and I take pride in creating a calm, supportive environment where patients feel heard and respected. Helping someone overcome dental anxiety or regain their confidence through a healthy smile is what makes dentistry so rewarding for me.”
