I really enjoy being a dentist. I like getting to know my patients and creating a caring relationship with them. Its important to me that my patients are comfortable with me and my staff, and enjoy coming here for their visits.

I listen to my patients, and make sure I understand their needs and concerns. Its always my goal to exceed my patients expectations by ensuring they achieve the level of dental health they deserve, want, and need.

In addition to my formal education, I continue my education to stay current with the latest dental trends and technology. This allows our patients to receive treatment that is accurate, lasting, and most importantly, comfortable. I have attended:

I live in the Edwardsville/Glen Carbon community with my wife Beth and our three kids, Nolan, Brynna, and Braelyn. Beth has an orthodontic practice in Edwardsville, BauerHite Orthodontics. Of course, I cant forget our dog, Duke. You may see him at the office with mewe call him Duke the Dental Dog! When Im not in the office, I love playing golf and hanging out with my family.

We recognize that all of our patients are unique and deserve to receive dental care that reflects their individual needs. Our experienced and talented dental team is committed to working with you and your family to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding dental experience every time you visit our practice.

I earned my Associates in Applied Science from Lakeland College in 1982, and have worked at this practice since 2003. After almost 20 years in the same location, Ive built some pretty great relationships with my patients. They are like my family, and I love that I can help them keep their teeth healthy!

My husband Steve and I have two children, Olivia and Alex, who are both involved in soccer and baseball. We spend most of our free time at ball games and running the kids to practice. Its a full life, and I love it!

I am a class of 2000 Dental Hygiene graduate from Collin College in Texas. I have been at Hite Family Dentistry since 2011 and my focus is on patient education and preventative care. I enjoy the time I get to spend with my patients and strive to build a trusting relationship with them. I like working here because we have such a fun, close team who all want the best for each other and our patients. I love working in a practice where there are so many smiles and laughter.

My family and I are all about music! My husband is the reigning king of music trivia, and between the instruments both of our kids play and the music we all listen too, our home is never quiet! Ialso really like to hikingand paddle board.

I graduated from the dental assisting program at Lewis and Clark in 1985. Having worked in a few other practices, I can say with confidence that there is not another team I would rather work with. I am proud of the work we do every day, whether we are transforming patients smiles or helping them deal with dental anxiety. Dr. Hite has a strong work ethic and very high standards, and his integrity shines through in every situation.

I feel so blessed to work for my son at his office to be an encouragement and to build towards his success. I joined Ben in 2019 but have more than 40 years of experience as a Certified Dental Technician in private practice and for the USAF. My role here involves the fabrication of fixed dental prosthesis such as crowns and bridges, as well as tech support. I enjoy the challenges of lab dentistry and completing quality work to benefit our patients health.

I went to Forest Park Community College for dental assisting. When I started workinghere in 1998,I worked as an assistant for the first seven years of my career and then transitioned to an administrative role after having my first child to allow for more flexibility. I really enjoy getting to know our patients and being part of such a wonderful team! We are all very close and have worked together for a long time. We are not just co-workerswe are family.

I have been married for 18 years to my husband, Gabe. We have three wonderful children together, Alyssa, Kenley, and Kipton. They are all very active with sports and it keeps us very busy. Inmy free time, I like to take walks and spend time with my family and friends.

I am pleased with their service and looking forward to have my new implant fitting. They make sure to communicate with me clearly so I can read lips or hear what they were saying. Dr. Hite is nice and he listens well and make it possible for my teeth. Would like to continue his service in the near future for any more care of of my teeth.

Wonderful care at Hite Family Dentistry! The entire staff is very friendly and professional. I have 100% confidence in Dr. Hite and the drive from St. Louis to Edwardsville is worth it knowing that I am getting the best care. Dr. Hite and his staff are very knowledgeable and work together as a team.

Everyone here was very friendly, the wait wasn't long and Dr. Kniffin answered all my questions and took her time answering she wasn't rushed! You're treated very well here I would definitely recommend Hite Family Dentistry!

The staff truly cares about my well being and whether I am having any issues. It is not easy for me to get in to see the dentist because of my work schedule so they put me on a call list and never give up calling me to see if an opening will work. I have tens of thousands of dollars worth of dental work done and will not trust anyone else to handle my care. It took years and a marriage to find Dr Hite thanks to my husband and I will travel 1000's of miles to ensure he is the one who continues my care.

Super friendly staff, up front pricing, we just recently made the switch here from another local Dentist due to insurance. But we were so happy we did!
