Your smile is worth a thousand words and the advancement of dental medicine has brought about some of the most extraordinary methods to X-ray it. At Hills Family Dental in Platte City, MO, we offer the most current 3D imaging technology to provide the best care with safety and precision.
3D Cone Beam Tomography is a special type of X-ray machine used in situations where regular dental or facial X-rays are not sufficient. The technology in this type of CT scanner generates 3D images of dental structures, soft tissues, nerve paths and bone in the head and neck region in a single scan. It removes the need for multiple X-rays and gives a clearer image to the doctor.

We're military so we've been to a LOT of different providers offices in the last 19 years and to say Hills has been one of the best is an understatement. From the front desk (Taylor) to the hygienist (Janessa) to the Assistants (Heather & Lindsay) to Dr. Sloan himself I cannot begin to tell you how FANTASTIC they are. (I know there's other staff but I'm not familiar with their names)They're not a Pediatric Dentist per say but they do see kiddos. My 2 year old was seen as well as my 7 & 11 year old plus myself. All of our treatments, cleaning and exams were amazing. I'm not an easy dental case, lots of work for me but they did such a good job of taking care of me all the while explaining anything along the way. My 7 year old was very inquisitive and they were so generous with their time to answer all of his million questions. Highly recommend this office.

The staff is very friendly, however I always feel as though they are trying to "sell" me something. Case in point - they seem to want to take Xrays every single visit, when most dental insurance only pays for one set per year. I don't feel like it's on the patient to keep track of when they last had Xrays.

I've been going here for 7 years. I had seen Dr Hills who helped me out a lot. I had really bad teeth. Now it's Dr Costa and he's really good too.
