No referrals, no hopping across town—just one familiar team that keeps it real, personal and professional.
Advanced tech, made human.
We’re powered by the latest tools—3D imaging, same-day crowns, and guided implants—but it’s not about the tech. It’s about what it does for you: faster visits, fewer appointments, better outcomes, and a smile that lasts.
Where stars tend to come in groups of five.
From a coffee bar to a team who actually cares how your day’s going, this place is built to put you at ease — and we’ve got the 5-star reviews to prove it. Our doctors are experienced with patients of all ages, and our space is designed to feel safe, calming, and family-friendly. Behind every check-up or procedure is a team trained not just in dentistry—but in making your entire experience feel easy, positive, and personal.
Our Services
Preventative and family care
From toddler teeth to adult check‑ups, we keep every smile on the family roster healthy and worry‑free. Our space is kid‑approved, parent‑relaxed, and geared for long‑term prevention—think gentle cleanings, sealants, and technology that can detect issues before they escalate. With a team trained in all ages and stages of care, we make routine visits feel so easy and comfortable, (dare we say) you just might low-key love going to the dentist.
Tooth colored fillings
Strong, seamless, and nearly invisible—our tooth-colored fillings do more than fix cavities. Made from durable, composite resin, these natural-looking restorations blend right in and bond tightly to your tooth for long-lasting protection. No metal, no mercury, no shiny silver smile—just a modern fix that feels as good as it looks.
Dental crowns
When a tooth needs more than a filling, a custom crown can restore its strength, shape, and shine. Using advanced CEREC® imaging technology, we custom-design and create your crown in-house—often in just one visit. Each crown is crafted from durable porcelain and precisely fitted to blend naturally with your smile. No impressions, no temporary crowns—just long-lasting results, made to last and made to look great.
Dental bridges
Missing teeth don’t just leave a gap in your smile—they can impact everything from chewing to confidence. Dental bridges offer a seamless, lasting fix by filling in spaces with natural-looking replacement teeth, anchored by crowns or implants. Crafted from strong, tooth-colored materials like zirconia, our bridges are designed for comfort, durability, and a flawless fit. Best part? We custom build them right here in our office—no waiting, no guesswork, just your smile, complete again.
Root canals
Let’s be honest. No one wants to hit the dreaded root canal lottery. But if you do, we make it as smooth and stress-free as possible. Using advanced tech and gentle techniques, our team clears out the infection, eases the pain, and works to save your remaining natural tooth—all in a single visit. With same-day CEREC® crowns crafted in-house, you’ll leave with a tooth that looks and feels like it’s always been there. No drama. Just relief, precision, and a smile that’s back in business.
Dental emergencies
Like a 911 for your teeth. Whether it’s sudden pain, a chipped tooth, or a crown that’s gone rogue—we’re here to help. While we’re not a walk-in dental ER, we do offer emergency appointments when available and an after-hours line to guide next steps: 417-232-0609.
From emergency root canals to same-day crowns, our advanced tools and experienced team make even the worst-case scenarios feel a little less stressful. If you’re hurting, don’t wait—give us a call and let’s get you back to smiling.
Aftercare
Care doesn’t stop when your appointment ends. From clear, simple aftercare instructions to a team that makes sure you feel supported, we’re here to help you feel confident and cared for before, during, and after your procedure. Whether you’re easing into a routine cleaning or heading home after a smile transformation, our team walks you through every step—no confusion, no stress, no surprises. Questions? We’re always just a call away. Because your peace of mind matters as much as your results.

We are new to Innovative Dental. My kids have never liked going to the dentist so I put off appointments. I had heard good things about Innovative but I really didn’t think anything could persuade them to like going to the dentist. But they absolutely loved everything about it!! They aren’t even upset about needing braces. Every single person from check in to Maddie, to the Dr were all fantastic. They spoke to the kids and treated them like adults with kindness, respect, and carried conversations with them. My kids and I can’t wait to get started on braces.
Had my first cleaning today at Innovative Dental and my experience was 10/10! Abbi was super nice, attentive, and gave me great advice for self care moving forward. The staff and her all made me feel very welcome. My wife and I will continue to have Innovative Dental as our #1 option when it comes to our routine dental checkups.
My family has been going to Innovative Dental for over five years now. We have always had a great experience! The team is delightful and welcoming. Their team always thoroughly explains billing before scheduling and completing procedures. My daughter currently has braces and is slightly high maintenance, and they do excellent catering to her needs.
Hannah took great care of me during my first visit as a new patient! She took time to thoroughly explain everything she was going to be doing during the appointment and made she I was comfortable and taken care for the entirety of my visit. I normally dread going to the dentist, but innovative dental has changed that for me!
I just had my first appointment at Innovation Dental in Springfield. I am blown away with the friendly atmosphere. Everyone had a smile on their face. There was such a positive vibe. You even get a goody bag! They offered coffee and water. They were timely. While waiting you can enjoy comfortable chairs by a fire or enjoy sitting outside with a waterfall. They were very knowledgeable and I walked away with a plan. I have never had an experience like this. I have always dreaded going to the dentist. If I were you I would call and make an appointment today. I would call this place the Disney World of dentistry.
Our entire family goes to Innovative Dental and we love them! Their office is not your typical dental office. The place is immaculate and the staff are very friendly and professional. We’ve been going here for the last 3 years and every single hygienist we had was so wonderful. My son had an appointment today and Jackie was his hygienist and she exceeded our expectations. It’s a great feeling not dreading to go to the dentist anymore. Thank you Innovative Dental for taking good care of your patients.
Innovative Dental is the best place to come for a person with high anxiety for the dentist because the staff is so sweet. They take care of you in ways that every dentist should. I have come for them for cavities and a crown. Each time they have treated me with the ultimate kindness. For a dentist that sits by the highway, it feels like a place all on its own. You can look out at the zen garden as you’re waiting to go back, drink some coffee and eat a cookie, even listen to music as you’re waiting. When you go back, you can watch a movie or listen to music while you get your teeth cleaned. It’s really an experience built for the patient, to help them be comfortable and relaxed in their dental experience.
I have been blown away by the service and experience at Innovative. I know that not only me but my children are in great hands at Innovative. I had one appointment that was behind, and I had a long wait time. Other than that, they are very prompt and try their hardest to get you out and on with your day. My family has seen a total of 4 dentists in the office. My daughter for braces, my husband and I for implant, crowns, and fillings. Every single person in there has been amazing. My husband thought our previous dentist was great, he was good. However, the service and experience at Innovative is top-notch and, in my opinion, can't be beat. This truly is a one-stop shop dentist. There is no going between orthodontist and dentist. No waiting on crowns from a lab. There is no going to an oral surgeon for extraction. They do it all right there in that one building.
I was very happy with the complete process, everyone I met was very pleasant and helpful, Danika was amazing and personable. She put me at ease and made the complete process easy and pleasant, because I have had a fear of the dentist office since I was a child. I complete faith in Innovative Dental and the staff. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I enjoyed going to a dentist for the first time in my life, and I'm 63 yrs. old. Thank you Danika.
This was my first time at Innovative Dental and I was impressed from the moment I walked in. The customer care is outstanding, taking every opportunity to assure the patient is comfortable and relaxed. Danika and Dr. Downs were both so kind, patient, tolerant of my questions and really took their time getting to know me as a person, not just another patient. My treatment plan was carefully explained in great detail although easy to understand by a lay person. I appreciate them all and will be back. Highly recommended!
Absolutely love this place! I see this place all the time when I drive over to Springfield, and I found it intimidating at first. After making an appointment though, my opinion of this place completely changed. Everyone is accommodating, and they care about you so much! I had Ashley do my x-rays and stuff, and she is super sweet! I think everyone is just super kind and sweet, so I wasn't at all intimidated. And I GOT free stuff? How awesome is that!?
I had an extremely pleasant first visit to establish ongoing treatment. I was warmly welcomed upon arriving. The environment was comfortable, organized and clean. The technology is cutting edge making any dental visit/exam comfortable. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Madi . She was personable and explained everything in detail. Dr. Megan was very calm, caring and attentive. She and Madi ensured I understood the root cause of my issue, my options and the best course of treatment for a more permanent solution. Thank you all so much. This was the best dental experience I’ve had in my 57 years.
Innovative Dental is just wonderful! We were new to Missouri and had to find a new dentist. Lucky for our family, Innovative Dental was near our new home. It is a very clean and impressive office building, but what makes this place more impressive is the friendly staff and the great dentists. What you can't see from the road as you drive by this beautiful building is the lovely and peaceful courtyard they have inside. Most people, like us, don't like going to the dentist, but Innovative Dental designed their whole building around helping the client be relaxed and at peace while having their dental work done. Everything in this place is top-notch: From the beautifully landscaped courtyard and water feature to the complimentary beverages and cookies. The doctors and staff are top-notch too! We love coming to the dentist now. Give them a try! You will love it there!
Just had Sidney for my cleaning and needed to share that she was very professional, attentive, caring, and kind. She is great at her job and I really appreciated the TLC. I always have a great experience with the employees here. They're good to me and good to my kids! Thank you!
We recently switched insurance and unfortunately, had to find a new dentist. So we were recommended to try Innovative Dental. They got my daughter in quickly especially because she was having some pain from her wisdom teeth. Extremely professional, Very informative and treat you with first class service.
My Dental Hygienist Emily was very kind! She was very professional and had outstanding bedside technique. She could tell how nervous and anxious I was. She went very slow and catered to my needs. I was very nervous and shaky she went as far as to get me a blanket to help. She continuously asked if I was doing okay and needed anything. I highly recommend coming here for all your dental needs. I have never been to a dental establishment that makes you feel so comfortable and relaxed.
Ashley did an amazing job of explaining everything to me! It had been a while since being to a dentist and she immediately made me feel comfortable and walked me through the steps to get my teeth taken care of. I would highly recommend coming here for any of your dental needs. I no longer have to worry about pushing off the dentist after finding this place!
