Our staff of qualified professionals works together as a team to bring you the highest quality treatment in a warm and caring atmosphere. It is our goal to provide comprehensive dental care with special attention to individual needs. We are conveniently located in the Woodhurst Office Complex, just southwest of the mall in Springfield, Missouri.

Our dental family includes patients from Branson, Nixa, Ozark, Republic, Rogersville, and many other Ozark communities. Most dental insurance is intended to cover some, but not all of the cost of dental treatment. Patient co-pays and/or deductible expenses must be paid by the patient. We accept most dental insurance and will be happy to estimate benefits and submit dental claims for you.
Services
We are very fortunate to have a father and son practicing General Dentistry together. This allows extended hours along with experienced knowledge and the best of the newest techniques in dental care. Dr. Gary Nail was born in Springfield, and grew up primarily in the St. Louis area. He graduated from MU Columbia in 1970 and UMKC School of Dentistry in 1974.
Our initial focus is on prevention through regular cleanings and exams, sealants, and fluoride treatments. Periodic dental visits are imperative to maintain gum, tooth, and bone health as well as detect the early stages of cavities and oral cancer. Defects in teeth can be caused by cavities, malformations, discolorations, or fractures.

So at first this seemed like a good place. I had my teeth cleaned, got x-rays ect....
I was told that I had about 9? Cavities! 9! Okay, that’s unfortunate, I knew I had 1 at least. I got the first 2 filled and than decided to get a second opinion.
The dentist here was too patient for me to believe I had as many as he said I did. He was like “Oh yea, your cavities aren’t that bad, we can wait until you get your braces off”. Mind you, that’s 2 years down the road.
But anyways, I got a second opinion. New X-rays and was told that I had ZERO cavities!!! And unlike Gary nail, this dentist

I want to start by saying i do not visit the dentist regularly so i was extremely nervous when i started calling around about my wisdom tooth issue. When i called this office they were a little busy to talk to me but offered to call me back shortly. I was surprised when Dr. Jim is actually the one that called me back and answered all my questions(i had a lot) and was extremely pleasant. He got me in right away and made me feel very comfortable with what was going to happen. I had to have my tooth cut out which i can honestly say i lost sleep about because i was so nervous. But come to find out

Me and my husband started to go to Dr. Nail's office since couple years ago and we had great experience ever since. He always cares about his patients not just about sales and make extra sales. I took my 3 year old boy for the first check up today. I was all worried how my little one will handle it. Dr. Jim spent his time to show my boy all the tools and things he would expect and engaged with him prior to the check up. He made my boy animal balloon after the visit. He made it so smooth and easy for the little one. He was all excited about dentist visit and looking forward to go back already. I

I was referred to Dr. Nail b/c my regular dentist was out of town.
It was great going there today.
The Receptionist was very nice.
I saw both Dr. Nail and his son Jim.
They were so awesome and it was a most pleasant experience.
I am presently in process of taking care of my dental concerns.
A Sincere Thank You Dr. Nail, Jim and the Receptionist.

I have been going here for years. I used to be terrified of the dentist, but the Drs Nail as well as their techs make you feel very comfortable. They explain things thoroughly and involve you in decisions about your care.

I have been in the dental field for over 30 years, so when I moved to Missouri and had to find a dentist it took me a long time. Once I found Dr. Gary and Dr. Jim, I could not be happier. They both do a great job and their chair side manor is excellent. They go beyond to ensure patients comfort and pride themselves on achieving excellent results. Very caring staff and wouldn't go anywhere else.

Being new to the area we knew we needed to find a dental professional. But, we put it off until my husband needed a problem focused appointment. Dr. Gary worked him in very quickly, and I scheduled an initial checkup at my convenience with Dr. Jim. We've been three times now, and each time we have been treated so very well by the entire staff. We've been sharing their names because everyone needs a good dental professional, and we've got two!

Thank you again, Kae.

Good experience every time - which says a lot for a trip to the dentist's office. The hygenists are always nice and friendly & Dr. Nail always takes the time to answer my questions and explain my options and choices. They've always been punctual with our appointments, which is also really nice.
