Dentists in St Joseph, MO: Local Guide

Updated November 10, 2026 / How we verify

St Joseph offers dental care downtown, along the North Belt and near the medical offices on North 36th Street. Among the 66 St Joseph dentists, start by matching the problem you need treated with the office’s services. A root canal referral and a family’s checkups can lead to different choices.

Family visits near the North Belt and Sherman Avenue

Cook Crossing Dental Care at 4112 North Belt Highway lists root canals, dentures and Invisalign. Dental Care of St. Joseph at 3921 Sherman Avenue lists cleanings, sealants and bridges. For a child, compare the children’s dental services the office provides with the care your child needs.

Lisa Goin’s practice, A+ Smiles, provides crowns and replacement teeth along with family care.

A root canal referral on North 36th Street

Northwest Endodontics identifies Ryan M. Walker as its dentist. The practice provides root canal treatment and retreatment at 803 North 36th Street, Suite C. Take the referring dentist’s explanation of the tooth problem into that discussion.

Cook Crossing lists care for cracked teeth and dental injuries. An urgent exam helps determine the repair or need for oral surgery.

Repairing teeth or changing their appearance

Bob Ruwwe practices at 710 Felix Street and lists restorative and cosmetic dentistry. Keep a proposed repair distinct from elective cosmetic work, such as whitening, when comparing the bill. Gum treatment can be another part of the dentist’s plan.

Dental Care of St. Joseph offers dentures and bridges. A+ Smiles lists implant restorations. For extensive replacement work, discuss whether a prosthodontist should take part in planning the teeth and bite.

Cook Crossing and the Sherman Avenue office list Invisalign. Compare their proposed care with an orthodontic practice, including the return visits you’ll need.

Use ratings after narrowing the treatment and coverage

Ratings and Dental.me Score give you comparisons to consider alongside the proposed care. Read what patients say about the type of visit you need; a high average alone won’t tell you the price of a crown or denture.

A+ Smiles offers CareCredit financing, while Noyce Orthodontics posts an in-house monthly plan. Those payment routes affect the dental budget differently. Compare the complete treatment charge and any interest before choosing a monthly payment.

Additional St Joseph dentists to consider

Dental visits outside St Joseph

Deciding between St Joseph dental offices

What should I compare for denture treatment at a St Joseph general practice?

How can I narrow a St Joseph dental shortlist without using stars alone?

Start with the care you need: Northwest Endodontics focuses on root canals, while the North Belt and Sherman Avenue practices list broader services. Check your insurance with the office, then read reviews for details about similar visits. The dentist’s treatment explanation and price give you something specific to compare.
