I am proud to serve my hometown community of Springfield, Missouri, by providing an environment where patients feel safe and where they can trust me as their lifetime dentist. I desire for all of my patients to be excited to visit the dentist and understand the long-term benefits of oral health. My team and I focus on the patient as a whole, and want them to feel we are different from the dental experiences they have had in the past by getting to know the patient as individuals we respect and care for. I believe that listening to our patients and understanding their needs, goals and lifestyles helps my team provide better overall care and achieve better results for our patients.
I spend hundreds of hours each year learning new techniques for patient care related to orthodontics, dental technology and materials, cosmetics, implant dentistry, and team building. When we meet as a team to work on the patient experience, I really feel it brings our team together so we may continue to work better to streamline and make it easy to become a lifelong patient at Kelly Dental.
I achieved my bachelors degree from Drury University before attending UMKC School of Dentistry to earn my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree. While in school, and even since graduation, I have spent time teaching other students and dentist techniques related to operative dentistry and dental photography.

The office staff is great. The assistants were fun to talk to and made the new patient exam comfortable. Dr. Kelly is very professional and willing to explain any questions or concerns. Alisa wasnt like most hygienist who leave you with sore gums from all the scraping but was very gentle. Id recommend anyone to this office.
I would highly recommend going to Kelly Dental if you're looking for a new dentist!!! The receptionist was extremely kind, helpful and informative. The dental assistant made me feel very comfortable and was excellent. Dr. Kelly gave me so much information about my teeth and some issues I'm having. He was down to earth and answered all of my questions.
Great personable experience. Communicates everything in easy to understand, easy to see ways. Even advocating for the patient when previous dentists and doctors have not. Very happy with my choice of dentist, will be continuing my treatment here.
Dr Kelly and the whole staff at Kelly Dental are very professional and personable. Theyll do what needs to be done and make you feel comfortable while theyre at it. I know Ive found the place for all my dental needs!
