Without this team, Hentscher-Johnson Orthodontics would just be a building. One thing we hear patients say all the time is, You guys just look like youre having so much fun! And its true. We love what we do!
What I absolutely love about my job is working directly with patients and running a business that people love to visit. To me, what makes the difference between an okay visit and an exceptional experience is customer service. That means treating every patient like theyre my own child. I want to make sure we work in a way that makes our patients feel heard and comfortable.
Originally from Red Bud, Im the daughter of Dan and Julie Hentscher and sister to Cori Hentscher-Schmuke. Now Columbia is my home, where I live with my husband Scott, our 2 sons, Tyler and Rhett, and our 2 Boston Terriers. When Im not at work, youll find me spending time with my family! We love to spend time at the Lake of the Ozarks or cheering on the Cardinals, Green Bay Packers, and Blues.
As a woman leader in our community, its important to me to be active in groups that support other women like CROWN (Columbias Resourceful Organization of Women Networking) and GLOW (Great Ladies of Waterloo), as well as the Chambers of Commerce for Columbia and Waterloo.
I love making a difference in the lives of neighbors and members of our community through the art and science of orthodontics. Being able to improve a persons oral health and increase their self-confidence by creating a beautiful smile for them, all while building a strong relationship, is rewarding and fulfilling. I enjoy all aspects of my work, but the friendships that develop make me look forward to coming to work in the morning. I know Im going to have fascinating conversations with amazing people, all while improving their lives.
During my residency, I had the opportunity to care for a wide array of orthodontic patients. I worked with the cleft palate and craniofacial team at Childrens Mercy Hospital in Kansas City. After completing my formal education, I immediately started to pursue continuing education offerings through numerous meetings, lectures, seminars, and hands-on demonstrations.
We take the time to make sure little ones and children with special needs feel safe, comfortable, and loved. But regardless of your age, we think you deserve our teams undivided attention. Youre important to us!
Finances are always a concern, and we definitely get that. Its a big investment, and thats why work hard to make it affordable for the families in our community. At Hentscher-Johnson Orthodontics, youre part of our family. Well sit down with you and figure out the down payment and the monthly payment that works for your budget.
Of course! Were happy to offer personalized solutions to suit your budget and circumstances. As part of our payment plan, we offer low down payments. And we can even extend monthly payments out, in many cases, past the length of treatment to make it more affordable. You can choose your own terms using our interactive Payment Slider.
Your out-of-pocket cost for orthodontic treatment depends on your dental coverage, the treatment option that works best for you, and the complexity of your case. Thats why we offer free, no-obligation consults for all new patients.
The reason we offer so many different treatment options is because our patients are unique. Some want a discreet option, while others want to get in and out of braces as quickly as possible. There is no single best option for everyone, but well help you understand the best option for you and your family based on your unique needs.

Dr. Jodi and her staff at Hentscher-Johnson Orthodontics are the best in the business.... the entire medical and dental business. The level of professionalism, responsiveness, attitude, and results are unmatched. HJO is the standard that others in the business world should take note. I would recommend HJO to anyone and everyone looking to develop a better smile. Thanks Dr. Jodi!

I loved my experience there at Hentscher-Johnson it was wonderful. I can't wait for my next visit. The nurses are so nice and they actually made me not feel nervous. My visit was awesome because they actually wanted to know more about me and how my day was. --Alex Munn (age 12)

Dr. Jodi and staff were professional, friendly, and upbeat. The office is modern (my daughter got a kick out seeing her name on the tablet upon checkin) and fresh. Dr. Jodi and the care coordinator spent a lot of time with us and explained everything fully. Definitely recommend!
