Comfort
No one ever looks forward to visiting the dentist. Certainly not when they know they need more than a cleaning. When there is an internal issue with your teeth, it can be the source of significant anxiety. That is why we strive to move above and beyond the norm to offer you optimal comfort during dental procedures.
Here at Missouri Dental Specialists, our main focus is YOU! From the moment you walk in, to the second you walk out, we strive to provide quality services at your comfort level. We are here to make sure that your experience is as pleasant as we can possibly make it. We want you to feel confident in your smile, but we also want to alleviate your stress of getting there.

Beverage Center
Choose from a variety of complimentary beverages to quench your thirsts. Whether for you or someone accompanying you, drinks are available at all times during your visit.
Soothing Lip Balm
Oral health doesn’t just consist of your teeth and gums. It entails all parts of the mouth, including your lips. Dry lips can be uncomfortable regardless – especially during treatments. Help yourself to some lip balm to soothe and moisten your lips.
Sunglasses
We provide your very own, stylish MDS sunglasses so that you can choose to keep your eyes open during the procedure, without bright lights in your eyes, or sit back and relax.
Music
Forgot your music? No worries! Each of our operatories play uninterrupted music from our internet radio.
Nitrous Oxide
Also known as laughing gas. This is a form of conscious sedation. This is a gas mixed with oxygen that can be administered throughout your appointment. While you are always awake, this can help sooth anxiety. It wears off quickly so you can return to your daily routine right after your appointment.
Please note that there is a small fee that applies for Nitrous Oxide.
