Parkcrest Dental Group Is All About Our Patients
We would not be where we are today without our patients. We are dedicated to making great smiles easy for our patients. Our staff motto is “glad to do it,” and it’s a large part of what we do every day for each other and our patients.
Parkcrest Dental Group has been incredibly blessed over the last 50 years to have dedicated, loyal, and giving patients who return to us and refer their friends to us. Our reviews speak for themselves with the kind words of our patients.
Nearly all of the staff members love their jobs and strive to provide top-quality customer service to their patients. We invest time in training our staff to deliver their best every day. Parkcrest has a fun environment in which to work with a group of people who truly care about each other and, above all, care about our patients.
We’ve Come a Long Way in 50 Years…
Parkcrest Dental Group opened its doors on Dec. 4, 1974. Eight local dentists in Springfield, MO, opened a dental practice along South Campbell in Springfield at the same location on West Lasalle that we are today.
We started with a staff of around 30 employees. Now, we have nearly 70. We previously had around 26 patient rooms, spanning 14,000 square feet. We renovated and expanded to 20,000 square feet in 2017, adding 40 patient rooms.
While the façade may have changed from the popular dark-brown wood siding of the 1970s to the sleek, modern steel exterior today, Parkcrest Dental Group remains the same at its core, inside our dental practice.
…But Our Principles Remain the Same
We are independently operated and owned by eight dentists, just as we were when we started. Our mission is to dedicate ourselves to the optimal oral health of our patients.
Our office has remained at the forefront of the latest technology, including our new X-Guide Implant system. We are currently the only general practice in the area with this state-of-the-art technology.
Our dedicated pediatric area, anchored by our board-certified pediatric dentist, Dr. Stuart Scott, has seven patient areas, including space for surgery and sedation. We have a complete orthodontic wing with eight patient chairs.
Our office raises money each month for a different local nonprofit to support and give back to. This happens on our denim days for employees when we raise money for these charities. We provide our staff with one paid day every year to serve in the community as a way to give back to the community we all live in, worship in, serve, and raise children in.
Parkcrest Dental Group has also become a host site for Accelerated Academy, a dental assisting school, to provide the necessary space for growing this profession with upcoming students and future employees in the community. We have three on-staff instructors for hands-on courses, two of whom have more than a decade of experience in the field.
Help Us Begin the Next 50 Years of Serving Dental Patients in Springfield
Parkcrest Dental Group serves over 40,000 patients annually. Some of them have been with us for their entire lives, starting with us as kids. A few patients are still being seen by our doctors 50 years later. Dr. Jason Hall, currently on our staff, is the son of Dr. Stan Hall, one of the founding doctors of Parkcrest Dental Group half a century ago!
Thank you to everyone who has made our 50th anniversary possible. We would not be where we are today without our community, the dedicated staff, and our patients.
