Additionally, we strive to be your family’s absolute, No. 1 choice for dental care in and around Springfield, Missouri. We offer many capabilities and amenities that you can’t find elsewhere, near(er) by or farther afield. So, when our team says that we are different, we really are!

Absolutely nothing to fear here

Some of the following services also support the most comfortable, convenient, and pleasant experience at our practice (not to mention the best treatment outcomes and long-term satisfaction!). And, while we take great pride in our hospitality and “catering” to all patients, we have a soft spot for “cowards.” When we say we “cater to cowards,” this is not to offend. Instead, this represents a source of pride for us, that our values, techniques, and the investments we’ve made in training and technology have changed formerly fearful or anxious patients’ perceptions of dentistry. People who may have forgone dental treatments for years can get the care that they most need. They can smile without embarrassment, get restful sleep, and chew comfortably again, often for the first time in a very long time.

• We are your true destination for “teeth in a day.” Our in-house dental lab and specialists, including our master artist and lab technician, Jeff, are equipped to fabricate teeth while you wait. We can make everything from tooth structure to rebuild portions of a decayed or damaged tooth (for instance, crowns) to tooth replacement options such as bridges and dentures. You never have to be seen in public without teeth or struggle to eat with gaps in your smile.
• The “gold standard” in dental treatments and the technologies to support them — For example, we can handle every aspect of the dental implants process. Dental implants are designed like natural teeth. The implant is placed in the jaw and joins the surrounding bone as part of a natural healing process. Once a prosthetic tooth or denture is connected to it, the implant functions like a tooth root. It keeps your new teeth firmly “rooted” or secured. Other “general dentists” must refer their patients to specialists for the placement of implants, which only adds to the costs, inconvenience, and stress of the process. We also use non-invasive and precise diagnostics, such as 3D cone beam imaging, to detect conditions accurately and gain insights into your mouth. Accurate diagnoses inform effective treatment options.

We encourage you to also look at some of the many other cosmetic, preventive, and restorative services that we offer to keep your mouth its healthy, beautiful best. After you get to know us, we want to get to know you! Call (417) 815-6797 to schedule your appointment.
