Everyone at Nixa Smiles are so helpful and kind. The attitudes and atmosphere is fantastic. You feel comfortable and not out of place. They always explain everything very well so we know what they’re doing and what needs to be done! Thank you so much for all of your hard work!!!

I go with my mom for all her dental needs to help as a translater. The staff there is amazing - always friendly and trying to help. Even though I am not a patient there (my mom is), I always have the feeling that I am 'within the family'. They do really care about you and trying their best to help you out finish the needed treatment. I am strongly recommending this place to everyone!

The staff is so friendly, helpful, accommodating, polite and knowledgeable. This is the best experience at a dentist office I believe I've ever had. They did a great service for us and were so efficient and friendly. The ladies made everything very easy to understand. Most definitely would recommend Nixa smiles to anybody and everybody. Thank you too Emily, Amy and Dr Kelly and Lauren. Thank you!

I took my 3 year old daughter here for her 1st ever dentist appointment and they were absolutely amazing! They made her feel so comfortable with everything. They explained what they were going to do and showed her how all the things worked. Our assistant Haillie was absolutely the best! She was good with my daughter and made her smile the whole time. My daughter left there loving the dentist and wanting to come back. I will definitely be recommending this dentistry!

While I have never had a bad experience anywhere I went before for dental work. I have to say I felt more comfortable here than any other dentist office I have been to. Friendly staff and they provide you with many options for bettering your teeth health.

I LOVE Nixa Smiles!! They are some of my favorite people! When I first went to Nixa Smiles I had been avoiding the dentist for quite a while and had a few issues going on because of it. But after my first visit with them they put my mind at ease and walked me through the whole process holding my hand the whole way. They are the kindest most compassionate people and they truly care about every single one of their patients. Not only are they amazing they got me in and out very quickly and got me all taken care of in a matter of a few weeks! With all the issues I had I couldn’t believe how quick it was! They are AMAZING!!! I will never go anywhere else!! I highly recommend them!

This is my dentistry for life! My husband and I have been going here for a few years now and we love it. The experience is pleasant and not stressful at all. They make sure you are comfortable and at ease. Any time we have to have fillings or other treatment, it is a breeze. Dr. Kelly and staff are so sweet and friendly! I highly recommend this dentistry for you and your family!

Jody Poe

This was my first visit to Nixa Smiles but I will definitely go back! Dr. Steve Dove was great. He removed my old crown, prepped the tooth for the new crown, and had me in and out in only a little over an hour! He was very courteous and professional, and Emily, the assistant, was wonderful. She sure knew what she was doing! Can't wait to get my new crown in 2 weeks! Thank you, Dr. Steve and Emily!

Dr. Steve Dove did an outstanding job with an extraction and two fillings for my 8yr old son. Fast, friendly and efficient. I could not imagine better service. Steve and his team are great with kids and offer world class service.

Excellent overall experience. Very impressive, you immediately feel confident with how they are managing safe Covid protocols, while maintaining a high level of dental care and patient care. As an added bonus every staff member I interacted with was friendly and professional.

Took my 5 year old in today to get his teeth checked out. Wasn’t the best outcome (he’s got cavities) but the dental assistant and dentist were great with him and very helpful! I highly recommend this dentist office!!

The employees at Nixa Smiles were so sweet and always concerned about how I felt when they were working on my teeth. They’re all very bubbly and kind hearted. I’ve never had a better dental experience. When I walked in they made me feel like I was home. Amazing family environment and great service.

Michael Harris

I have been going to Nixa Smiles for over a year. The people are very professional and friendly. They explain everything they are going to do as well as letting you what they are doing as they do it. There are no unexpected surprises or fees. All costs are explained ahead of time as well as giving an Itemized dental plan. Way to Nixa Smiles, you are the best.

Got me in quick, called multiple other places to get me a root canal fast. Made it easy, good dentist's, and good assistants.

Dr Steve and his staff were absolutely amazing! My daughter was very nervous and scared to go to the dentist today but they all were so nice and made her laugh. He worked very quickly and got her pain taken care of. She's excited for her next appointment.

Mary Land

15:26 21 Sep 20

This was my first dentist visit in more years than I care to admit, but everyone I encountered at Nixa Smiles was so friendly, cheerful, and helpful that they really put me at ease. I got x-rays and a general dental check-up and they were great about explaining everything and taking time to go over details with me even when I wasn’t really sure what questions to ask. I left my appointment feeling extremely well taken care of and would 100% recommend them to anyone I know!

Holly Harlow

20:35 01 Sep 20

Hands down the best dental experience. I had a difficult tooth extraction and they handled it with such care and really made my experience pleasant. I will be going back and recommending them to everyone.

Travis McMurray

21:03 28 Aug 20

The staff were incredibly friendly and bubbly. Everything from services to cost was explained to me in a clear, concise way. My only complaint is that there was some religious music playing overhead which is a bit off putting for a place of business. Also, I would recommend they use different bibs as there was some blood that leaked through it and onto my shirt. If you go, just ask them to use more than one bib. Other than that, I had an excellent experience and I would absolutely recommend them.

Michelle Rose

11:30 24 Aug 20

They are the nicest people! Very comprehensive plan was given to us. My daughter actually like going even though some news was bad, lol. Dr. Kelly very nice and no nonsense which is a breathe of fresh air. We really enjoyed being there. Technology seems top notch and offices feel comfortable.

My six-year-old went to smiles for her 1st appointment she was nervous but her hygienist and dentist made her feel completely at ease. By the time we got ready to leave she said she wanted to stay and hang out. My daughter was a premmie and as a result has some dental issues but the dentist was very knowledgeable and had a quick solution about how to fix these issues and treat them in the future. All their tech is up-to-date state-of-the-art and really as minimally invasive as possible. I was super impressed. My husband and I will be switching our dentistry to this clinic.

Sonya Hall

15:15 23 Jul 20

I had an emergency with a tooth, I called first thing in the morning and I was in the dentist chair within 30 minutes of my call. I would highly recommend this place. Everyone is friendly and seems to genuinely care about their patients. Thank you Nixa Smiles!!

I love this dentist office. Everyone is so friendly and I'm always happy with the results of my cleaning and other work I have had done there. My dad was visiting from out of town and lost a filling. I took him there and he was extremely happy....and he's a hard man to please so this speaks volumes! I highly recommend Nixa Smiles!

Tamara Tucker

15:35 03 Jun 20

I went for a routine cleaning but had a few concerns that were promptly attended to by the staff. Results were excellent! They are very friendly and professional.

Shawna was excellent, very thorough and personable! Everyone was so kind. Very clean place. The Dr was very knowledgeable and did a great job to make sure I was comfortable during my filing.

Jilian Hernandez

Absolutely the best, kindest, most thorough dental staff I’ve worked with. I’ve been able to discuss any problems I’ve had and get worked in for adjustments multiple times. My questions have been answered with care.

Brad Thompson

19:57 15 Apr 20

I can't say enough about how nice Nixa Smiles Dentistry has been to me. My front crown came out over the Easter weekend. I called their office on Tuesday to let them know what happened and they were able to get me fixed until they can get me in to permanently fix the crown. They were awesome and way exceeded my expectations.

Lew L

18:44 06 Apr 20

They offer nothing but the best in workmanship, quality, support, professionalism, and personalized service. Absolutely great and always there when you need them. Highly recommended. Dove Dental Group in Springfield is equally as good. Two good groups utilizing the same personnel, policies and support. Great folks.

Trenton Barber

Before I visited Nixa Smiles, I hadn't been to a dentist in around 15 years. My level of dental anxiety is high, but I have always had dental issues. I realized it was time to bite the bullet and see someone to manage my poor teeth as many were broken, cracked, or had cavities. I couldn't be happier with the experience I had with Dr. Kelly Dove and the rest of her team. Everyone was pleasant and accommodating to ensure I understood what would be happening and why it was being done. After having an exam, I was explained my options and given help to come up with a treatment plan that works for my specific situation. I expect to visit the office many more times in the future and feel blessed I ended up in a place where I felt comfortable and taken care of. While I am sure the procedures still to come will be uncomfortable, there is no doubt in my mind that I will be treated well. If you're looking for a dentist in the Springfield area, there's nowhere I could recommend more. They deserve 5 stars and then some in my opinion.

Vickie Metts

18:19 19 Feb 20

I would like to highly recommend Nixa Smiles to anyone looking for a dentist. On every level they deserve a 5 star rating. Very professional, very friendly, excellent communicators, I was comfortable and have had 2 painless extractions. Their prices are also very competitive. Gary

I’ve had good experiences with most dentists but this morning was great. Kind, professional, thorough in cleaning and explanations of work/insurance, and an overall great atmosphere. They definitely enjoy what they do :)

18:12 28 Jan 20

Dr. Kelly and all her staff are the greatest. They make you feel comfortable, and are excellent at what they do. Went in for a scheduled cleaning and exam. Had a past filling that needed to be replaced. They saved me a trip back and fixed it the same visit. I would recommend their services to everyone. They have always made insurance claims flaweless as well.

Shirley Huett

15:21 09 Jan 20

All employees are courteous, competent, and compassionate. My husband has refused for years to return to a dentist due to horrible experiences. We believe Nixa Smiles has his best interests in mind. Plus they are willing and flexible to work with us in regards to scheduling and finances.

I am the kind of person who is always nervous to go to the dentist. So when I knew I needed two fillings, the only place I trusted and knew would take care of me was Nixa Smiles Dentistry! The staff members are always friendly and pride themselves of putting their patients comfort first. Emily, Dr. Kelly and the ladies up front did a great job making me feel relaxed and at ease with my dental work. I highly recommend this place for dental care from professionals who actually care. They never judge you for how your teeth look. They only want to help you get the smile you deserve!

David Myers

16:53 14 Nov 19

The best thing I ever did for my dental health and my smile was go to Nixa Smiles and see Dr. Steve, and the entire over the top staff. Not only do I now have great dental heath but the night guard they recommend to me also stopped my morning headaches and reduced my snoring. Thank you so much for everything. I love this place.😁

Aminta Moreno

Nixa smiles is great! They always keep a clean office even in patient rooms, they are very good about educating patients with their dental care. Nixa staff also takes the time to get to know you and respect your time and resources and value you as a patient!

Anita Beeler

My parents, who are in their mid 80’s, recently needed substantial dental work and my friend recommended Nixa Smiles. I am so appreciative of the patience and caring shown by EVERYONE at Nixa Smiles. They seem to understand the unique challenges and considerations and have gone above and beyond to accommodate my parents special needs. Thank you, Nixa Smiles!

I felt welcomed from the moment I entered the doors! 👍 My first visit for an implant consultation was amazing. I look forward to working with Nixa Smiles.

I liked all the positive sayings on the wall! They emphasised a comfortable environment, complete with choice of relaxing video to watch during procedures. The staff interacted with me and each other professionally, with expertise and with friendliness. All my questions were answered! All procedures done were gentle, painless and effective.

It was our 3 year olds first trip to the dentist and the staff could not have been any more welcoming!! The office decor is so warm and inviting. Everything combined took away the stress for her and me and made her first experience a great one!

Panchita Stalder

Amazing! I would absolutely recommend Nixa Smiles Dentistry! Came in with an issue which was immediately resolved in a professional, kind, and caring manner. The staff made me feel 100% comfortable and at ease. Everything was explained to me in detail. So happy with my smile!

The gals at the front office were really friendly, the whole staff that I worked with was fabulous, loved em’ all! The dental hygienist that cleaned my teeth did a fantastic job, the office was new, clean and decorated lovely - Honestly, could not be any happier or grateful that we found our new dental office for our family at Nixa Smiles & It’s minutes from our home.

Jasmine Martin

19:47 01 Aug 19

I appreciate this dental practice so much! They were pretty forgiving when I missed my appointment time and were able to squeeze me in later (don't miss your appointment, there could be a fee!). Then I got to meet the other half of the Dr. Dove team, Dr. Kelly! She was very personable, patient and a joy to chat with regarding the state of my teeth/gums. I missed my hygienist, Emily, but the hygienist I met that day made sure I was comfortable and well taken care of. Thank you all for your hard work and dedication! From reception to insurance to in the exam room, you'll definitely be made to feel at home or better.

AMAZING FIRST IMPRESSION Due to traumatic experiences at the dentist office, I swore to myself, as a teenager, that I would avoid it at all costs. Obviously, as an adult, I realized that doesn’t work. I procrastinated for 3 years before forcing myself to make an appointment. A co- worker recommended Nixa Smiles. My first appointment was today & I’m already a fan. They laid out a treatment plan & went over (REASONABLE) payment options. It was the most tranquil experience I’ve ever had at the dentist in my 31 years of life.

Brandi Scroggins

22:47 18 Jul 19

Dr. Steve is awesome! He made my experience as enjoyable as it could be and was so knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend him! I've been so anxious about going to the dentist after a difficult experience elsewhere and a lot of judgement; I didn't experience any of that here! They even worked me in, so no waiting 2 months for an urgent appointment either!

Haillie Breshears

11:37 09 Jul 19

Dr. Steve and Dr. Kelly are the best of the best! I was in pain and they worked me in, fixed me up, and got me out of there in an hour. I also should mention my treatment was completely pain free. Dr. Steve made sure I was ok and comfortable before continuing and his assistant Audra made sure my boys and I were doing good. I’m very thankful for Nixa Smiles and their awesome team!!!

Michelle Rush

16:14 08 Jul 19

The staff members at Nixa Smiles are all so wonderful, friendly, and knowledgeable. So thankful to call Nixa Smiles our dental home for my family. Dr. Steve & Kelly Dove are both such a joy to work with and are wonderful with our children.

06.14.2019 My first visit to Nixa Smiles. Everyone was nice and friendly. Laura cleaned my teeth and and informed me of problem areas. Then Dr. Kelly Dove came in and went over what Laura had said with color pictures. Explained my options to me and allowed me to choose what was best for me. I really like this group of people. I am happy I found Nixa Smiles and plan to stay with them. PS In my opinion they have great prices.

With the exception of the receptionist, everyone was absolutely fantastic. Warm and friendly and gave me a great cleaning. I felt comfortable and welcomed...after I got past the first girl who may have been having a bad morning. I'm glad I found a new dentist. Dr Kelly is amazing.

14:03 11 Jun 19

I love that they have morning meetings. It keeps staff focused and encouraged. Laura is a great! Wonderful place.

Sam Moore

16:26 21 May 19

Wonderful group of people. Went in for a new patient exam and get a game plan for getting back my smile. The ladies that helped me did a wonderful job explaining the whole process and what to expect over time. Couldnt ask for a better experience.

Hoa Tran

22:54 17 May 19

Today was my first time there and I have to say the receptionist and the dentist were so nice! They help me figure out what I needed done it was a quick and easy. will be recommending others to come here as well as myself coming back in the future!

Ligia Chirita

16:37 03 Apr 19

I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Steve, Dr. Kelley and all the staff at Nixa Smiles! Seriously the BEST dentist experience I’ve ever had. The staff are all super sweet and friendly! Dr. Steve and Dr. Kelley are so amazing and open, they make you feel so comfortable and make the whole experience feel like a breeze. I’d give them a 100 star rating instead of just 5. I highly highly recommend them!

Tabby Whaley

14:23 03 Apr 19

Dr. Dove was absolutely fantastic. My daughter needed a root canal, but since it was so very expensive, we decided the cheapest route would be to pull the tooth. Dr. Dove couldn't leave my 15 year old without a tooth and she donated the crown so we could afford the root canal. What a BLESSING!! Thank you for your kindness

Peggy Taylor

20:08 11 Mar 19

Changed dentists today & feel extremely satisfied with Nixa Smiles. The entire staff was friendly & Dr Kelly Dove made some decisions about my treatment plans that put a permanent SMILE on my face. Since we don't have dental insurance was impressed with the plan they offer that covers regular checkups. Highly recommend you check out Nixa Smiles for your dental needs!!

Leigh Smith

20:17 21 Feb 19

UPDATE August 21st: Today my appointment was not as lovely as my first. The staff were as pleasant and kind as always, but, my appointment today took way longer than it should have. I was there from 12:50-2:16 for a regular checkup...I was called back about 15-20 minutes after I checked in and got my xrays done (which I got done the first visit I had so not sure why I needed another set done.) Then, I sat and waited for around 30 minutes for someone to come back and clean my teeth (after the lady told me she’d be right back). They then poked and prodded around my mouth for another probably 20 minutes and THEN got to cleaning (which took like 5 minutes) and sent me on my way with one big ol bill. I signed up for the yearly plan to save money on my next visit, but, not sure what exactly I needed to pay over $200 for for my visit today (unless checkup prices have just gone up) However, I can’t dock them any stars for cheerful personalities and pleasant attitudes. . . . I had my first appointment today at Nixa Smiles. The first thing I noticed about this place was the comfortable design of the waiting/reception area. After filling out some paperwork I waited to be called back to the exam room. The staff was very friendly. They were getting acquainted with the new space and I appreciated them letting me know what they were doing every step of the way. Every staff member I passed said hello to me and greeted me with a smile. The experience was comfortable and the atmosphere was inviting.

Gavin Burris

18:57 15 Jun 18

Great place. The staff is always helpful and polite. They are very cautious with dental anxiety, if that's something you posses. I would definitely recommend Nixa smiles to a friend.

Gina Maloney

19:16 22 Aug 17

Dr. Dove and her staff, especially Emily and Brady are incredible. I needed quite a bit of dental work and I was quite anxious about dental appointments. I am so thankful that I called Nixa Smiles. My whole family goes there now and I wouldn't go anywhere else. Their patience, empathy, professionalism and kindness put to rest my apprehension of Dentists.

Visqo Gomez

19:54 11 Aug 17

It was a very nice experience, from the front desk everybody was nice and friendly. The assistant that took me to the examining room and took the Xrays was friendly and efficient and the dental hygienist was so charming, kept me engaged while doing the Prophylaxis and checking that everything was good. The dentist was also very nice and explained everything clearly. I am very glad I found this place as they know how to treat the clients well and make a scary thing (visiting the dentist) become such a pleasing experience. Would definitely recommend.

Ed Avery

16:46 03 Aug 17

Excellent service great staff. I've had horrible experiences in the past with other dentistry businesses an was very concerned with going in , Concern no more. Nixa smiles has earned my business an have a loyal patient for any further dental needs. Top Notch!

Bob Redden

Nixa Smiles is such a great place and friendly staff, They offer a variety of dental services and always talk over with you all options. The doctor cares about her patients which truly caught my attention. I didn't feel like I was just another customer to her at all as she took her time explaining to me the work I was needing done as well willing to work with me and explain in steps the most important to the least important. I could tell in our conversations she was sincere and wants all her patients to leave after each visit with a great smile and very satisfied . I would very much recommend Nixa Smiles to anyone.

Peyton Davis

18:41 14 Jul 17

Everyone was so welcoming and friendly! :) They make you feel so comfortable! Even during first visit, I was greeted with kind words and warm smiles all around! Dr. Dove is the sweetest and great at what she does. They really consider what is best for you and your teeth! Highly recommend Nixa Smiles!
