McClure Pediatric Dentistry of Frisco consists of special people who share the same vision and goals. The McClure Pediatric Dentistry Team is dedicated to providing the best in oral health care for infants, children and adolescents. They have over 20 years of combined experience in Dentistry and over 15 years of combined experience in Education. McClure Pediatric Dentistry of Frisco has a heart for building positive relationships with children and their families through communication and trust. They take the time to explain procedures so the children and parents better understand their needs or what is happening while in the dental chair. They also dedicate themselves to educating every patient and parent on the best prevention methods available.
In an age when trust is hard to come by, we strive to be health care professionals you can believe in. Our mission is to instill trust by only recommending treatments or therapy that are necessary and beneficial, to inspire a cavity free lifestyle, to provide the best in quality care, and to provide a positive and pleasant experience for you and your children.
Care is something that has been lost in a lot of areas within healthcare. That is sad since care is actually part of the word. Our dental practice is proud of the fact that we take the time to get to know our patients and their families. Of course we want to take care of your dental needs and take care of the oral health of your children, but we also want to know how they are doing in school, what they do outside of school, and what makes them special. We will take the time to have a conversation with you and your children because we do care and want to know about your family.
When you walk into the Frisco office we will make you feel welcomed. There will be a big hello and a smile to greet you when you open the door. Once upon a time kindness was taught through modeling, observation, and interaction. We want to bring those things forward again in our practice. Saying hello, shaking hands, listening to concerns, and opening our hearts to children are just some of the ways we model kindness to our patients.
Dr. Jon and his staff are very proud and happy to work in an office where honesty is a top priority. Whether they are talking to one another, a parent, or a patient, nothing is hidden. When children are in the chair being treated, Dr. Jon has a tell, show, do process that he uses for everything. Also, being that we try to promote education (especially about oral care) we explain what is going on, why it is happening, and what treatments are possible.
Education is a major part of what we do in our Frisco office. We do not want to just bandage problems; we want to fix the cause. A portion of each visit is set aside to talk about what may cause problems and how to prevent them from occurring in the first place. Also, there are things that happen within the mouth that are ;not the norm but that does not mean it is bad. Dr. Jon likes to take the time to discuss with the patient and parents what is happening with each patients dental health. Dr. Jon and his staff feel that they have a moral responsibility to prevent damage instead of just treating damage to the teeth.
Dr. Jon is a kid at heart. His wife will tell you that he is a pediatric dentist so that he never has to grow up. Shes probably right. Being the youngest of 4 children, having 14 nieces and nephews along with growing up with innumerable cousins, he has been around kids all of his life. His family is so big he would have to sit down with pen and paper to count them all. Thats probably because hes from Arkansas!
Working with children just comes natural to Dr. Jon. He spent most of his summers in high school volunteering at childrens camps and Vacation Bible schools. Hes also spent over seven years actively working in youth and childrens ministry. Hes actually a licensed minister! Not only that, hes also a certified teacher, having spent over 4 years teaching high school to graduate level courses. He has two undergraduate degrees from Ouachita Baptist University including a Bachelor of Arts in Biblical Studies with a minor in Hebrew and a Bachelor of Science in Biology with a minor in Chemistry. Thats pretty crazy, but hes a confessed nerd and loves it!
Dr. Jon eventually decided to go to dental school at Baylor College of Dentistry. After practicing General Dentistry for two years he finally realized what everyone had been telling him all along. He needed to specialize in pediatric dentistry. He attended a two-year residency program at Baylor College of Dentistry, which includes clinics at Texas Scottish Rite Hospital and Childrens Medical Center. Looking back at his life, he used to think his career path wound all over the place, but now he can see that everything he did was leading to what he does now. It was the perfect path to mold him into the pediatric dentist he is today.
In his personal life, he is married to the most wonderful woman in the entire world, Meredith. Dr Jons favorite thing about Meredith is that she can make him belly laugh every day. If you havent heard Dr Jons belly laugh, you need to come by and check it out. Its very contagious! They have one daughter, Quinn Ann, who was born onThanksgiving Day 2012 and a little boy, Collin Wesley, who was born last August. Theyare both the biggest blessings!
Meredith played goalie at the University of Georgia and now catches babies as an OB/GYN at Frisco OB/GYN. In their free time, they love spending time with their families and watching college sports (Razorbacks or Bulldogs especially). They also have an English Bulldog named Maggie. When he is able to travel, Dr Jon loves to take part in Mission trips. He has been on over 8 trips to Mexico to provide free dental care at orphanages and churches. He has a passion for reading and usually has 3 or 4 books going at the same time.
Amy is the Office Manager at McClure Pediatric Dentistry and has worked in dentistry for 20years. She began as a chair side assistant and shined at that for 8 years. Even though she was an amazing chair side assistant, her employer realized her skills and abilities with people went far beyond helping the dentist in the operatory. She was given a promotion to move to the front office so she could work one on one with patients as a treatment coordinator. She greatly enjoyed that opportunity and excelled at it for another 7 years. After meeting Amy through a mutual friend, Dr Jon knew that he had to have heras a part of his dental team. He sought her out and she has been part of McClure Pediatric Dentistry since July 2012. Dr. Jon is more thankful every day for the abilities and insights that Amy brings to the office.

Lisa has been with McClure Pediatric Dentistry since January 2015, but has known Dr. Jon and Amy since 2013. Shes been married to a wonderful man for over 7 years, and is a mother to an amazing son named Oliver, and 2 little dogs. When she is not working or taking care of the house, she likes to spend her time eating, shopping, traveling, baking, reading, playing video games, and watching movies (especially comic book movies). Lisas favorite time of year is Christmas time. She loves everything about it, especially participating in the Angel Tree. Her favorite quote is, For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11
