Your First Visit
Hey there! We're looking forward to seeing you! Before you come in for your appointment, we want you to know what to expect.
Before You Arrive
1
Book an Appointment
Find a convenient date and time for your visit and schedule your first appointment. To schedule, call us at (417) 926-3600 or book online. Be sure to mark your calendar!
2
Fill Out Forms
As a new client, we'll need to collect a little information about your past dental history, medications you currently take, and general health conditions. These forms should take roughly 10 minutes to complete.
3
Insurance & Payment Information
Before you come in for your first appointment, track down your insurance card and make sure you have it on the day of your visit.

Brush & Floss
Make sure to brush and floss your teeth before heading to our clinic! This helps us assess your oral health with more clarity upon first look.
