Nixa Smiles is great for the entire family

From ages 2-92, we are here to help your family reach their best oral health (see our Dentistry for Kids page). Dr. Dove realizes every age demographic has different needs, wants, and risk factors. We tailor each and every exam to match patient expectations with treatment recommendations. Our treatment recommendations are ones we would make for our own family members.

Our foundational goal for every patient is to assist with oral healthcare, not just filling cavities. We are here to encourage good oral hygiene techniques, help modify diet patterns, assess acid and sugar exposure risk, prevent dry mouth, and so much more.

Have you ever gone to the dentist and had to see multiple specialists out of town? Drs. Kelly and Steve Dove realize this is inconvenient for patients. By continuing to take continuing education all year long, Nixa Smiles’ dentists help patients get the general dentistry care they need right here in the office.

If you would like to schedule your family today, we can conveniently schedule appointments so multiple family members can be seen at the same time.

Family Dentistry Services

Dental Examinations

  • Adults: We offer two types of exams for adults, Comprehensive exams and Limited Focused Exams.
    • During a Comprehensive Exam, we will do all necessary recording, photographs, X-rays, and charting. A cleaning type will be recommended and offered during this appointment. Our goal is for you to address your chief concern and formulate a long term plan to achieve oral health.
    • A Limited Focused Exam is for patients experiencing a dental emergency, a toothache, a broken tooth, or who just want Dr. Dove to take a look at a specific concern. We will be happy to get a treatment recommendation together to address that concern. When patients are in pain, we realize it is important to help alleviate that pain as soon as possible.
  • Children: We offer “Happy Visits” for all children under the age of 12. At this appointment, your child will receive an exam, a cleaning, X-rays as needed, and a fluoride treatment. Of course we have a treasure chest, cartoons, and music. We try to keep this appointment as “happy” as possible: no dental treatment, no shots, nothing that should cause tears. We want to help parents instill a very positive experience for their children that will set them up for a lifetime of healthy dental visits.

Gum Therapy

  • Each patient at Nixa Smiles gets a comprehensive gum evaluation as part of our examination protocol. While each patient is different, we recommend at least two professional cleanings a year including polishing and a fluoride treatment. Patients that haven’t had a dental cleaning regularly will occasionally require gum therapy. We are happy to address all these concerns and help each patient achieve oral health.
  • With good home care that includes brushing twice a day, flossing, and regular check ups, patients can help prevent cavities and gum disease.

White fillings

  • White fillings, before and after

    All of our fillings are placed with dependable, research-tested tooth colored filling material. Our fillings help bond the tooth together rather than splitting it apart like the older sliver materials. Better filling techniques and materials help Nixa Smiles’ fillings have less leakage and last longer than a traditional filling. They blend in seamlessly with the tooth to give a natural healthy looking smile. Goodbye ugly silver! Hello natural!

Crowns

  • A crown is a tooth shaped cap that covers and seals a tooth. Why would a patient need a crown? While there are many reasons a tooth may need a crown, several reasons include broken or cracked tooth, very large cavity, deep fracture line, discoloration, severe wear, or previous root canal.
  • A tooth colored crown helps prevent a tooth from breaking or cracking
  • Our crowns are made of all porcelain, no metal showing, and therefore are less resistant to fracturing.

Onlay and Inlays

An inlay or an onlay are options that falls between a filling and a crown. They are larger than a filling, but smaller than a crown. They last longer than a filling, but are less stressful to a tooth than a crown. While not for everyone, this sometimes is the perfect in between option for a patient.  Ask Dr. Dove if this may be an option for your. We strive to offer all options to patients to get the best care they deserve.

Bridges

  • If a patient is missing one or more teeth, a bridge is an option to replace the missing teeth. The missing tooth is replaced by an artificial tooth, which is therefore supported by crowns on the adjacent teeth.
  • While bridges are becoming less popular due to dental implants, there are many cases in which a bridge is a very good long term option for a missing tooth.
  • Immediate bridges are available for patients needing an extraction and concerned about being without a tooth.
  • At Nixa Smiles, patients are showed different options, advantages, and disadvantages for implants and or bridges when replacing missing teeth.
  • Replacing a missing tooth is an important decision and we want to help you be able to make a well educated decision for both your mouth and wallet.

Dentures

  • At Nixa Smiles, we offer both full and partial dentures. These options are can be removed from the mouth and care is taken to make them look as natural as possible.
  • Implant supported dentures are also available for patients looking for a more stable option.At Nixa Smiles, we offer both full and partial dentures. These options are can be removed from the mouth and care is taken to make them look as natural as possible.
  • Two types of full dentures are made at Nixa Smiles. The first is a “conventional” denture. Conventional dentures are made for patients, without teeth, to replace an old worn out denture or a lost one. The second type of denture is an “immediate” denture. Immediate dentures are popular options for patients with teeth looking into dentures. An immediate denture would be make first, prior to the teeth being removed, and would be given to the patient the day of the surgery. Immediate dentures are popular because a patient wouldn’t have to go without teeth while healing from surgery.   
  • Whether you are thinking about a conventional or immediate denture, we promise to take great care in custom making your teeth to fit for comfort, esthetics, and longevity. While dentures has their ups and downs, our experience with many patients gives us confidence to provide you with teeth you will enjoy for a long time to come.  
  • If you have struggled with dentures in the past or are looking into a better long term option, we encourage patients to invest in dental implants. Implant supported dentures are highly recommended to prevent many of the common issues associated with wearing dentures. Implants under a denture allow for much more stability in the mouth. While the denture no longer moves around, patients are able to have better stability, comfort, speech, taste, and convenience. There are several different types of options and price ranges available for patients considering dental implants.  

Root Canals

No one wants to hear the words root canal. We understand. Sometimes they are necessary to preserve the tooth. How do we make this easier for our patients at Nixa Smiles? The answer is state of the art instruments that are more efficient and gentler than the reputation of previous decade root canals. Many patients say getting a root canal in our office similar to getting a filling done.

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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!
