Central Missouri is where Dr. Josh Prather was born and raised. One of seven kids, he grew up in rural Boone County near Rocheport. He graduated with honors with a degree in Biological Engineering degree from the University of Missouri, and then went on to complete his Doctorate of Dental Surgery also with honors at UMKC School of Dentistry.
Since then, he has stayed very involved with the Missouri Academy of General Dentistry, American Dental Association, and has completed extensive post-graduate training. This training allows him to perform a wide range of procedures from a simple as a filling to complex as a full arch reconstruction with dental implants.
Dr. Rick's long legacy in Fulton is something that he looks forward to continuing. He is married to his better half, Krista Prather. Together they have two daughters and a son who is due this October. When he isn't spending time with them, Dr. Prather loves being outdoors. Hunting, hiking, fishing, and running are activities he frequently does. Whether you are getting a cleaning or getting implants, Dr. Prather is passionate about teeth and taking care of you!

Fulton Dental has always been my 'home' dentist as I had seen Dr. Rick since I was a child. Coming to work in the office I have always been so comfortable with has been a blessing! Outside of work, I am running around chasing my son and keeping up with my husband. We love the country lifestyle where we spend a lot of time outside and on the farm.
