Patient Information
A vital part of providing patients with the right treatment is collecting relevant information about their medical history and current condition.
This information will allow us to develop a personalized treatment plan for your child’s unique needs and preferences. You can provide us with this information by filling out a "New Patient Information Form” before their appointment. Your child should never have to settle for mediocre dental care. Call us today at 573-271-3062 to learn more about our services or schedule an appointment.

What to Expect
Thank you for choosing us as your child's dentist! We take great care to ensure that your child will be happy and comfortable during his or her visit.
You should arrive a few minutes before your scheduled visit to get checked in. To speed things up, you can download the patient form to be completed in advance. The average time for a check up is approximately 45 minutes, but as you know working with kids can sometimes be unpredictable so times will vary.

This includes the subscriber's social security number or insurance ID number, subscriber's date of birth, subscriber's employer, insurance carrier, insurance group number and a customer service telephone number. This information is typically found on your insurance ID card. We will try to be as helpful as possible in answering any of your insurance questions.
If we have received all of your insurance information on the day of the appointment, we will be happy to file your claim for you. We file all insurance electronically, so your insurance company will receive each claim within days of the treatment. We accept all dental insurances.
Payment (minus any expected insurance benefit) is expected at each appointment for services rendered and can be made by cash, check, MasterCard, Visa, Discover or CareCredit.
