Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent tooth replacement solutions that mimic natural teeth in function and appearance. Our customized treatment plans address individual jawbone conditions and aesthetic goals. Using titanium posts integrated with the bone, we restore missing teeth while preserving oral health and facial structure.
Invisalign
Invisalign offers discreet orthodontic treatment using removable clear aligners to straighten teeth gradually. We create personalized treatment sequences that address crowding, spacing, and bite issues. The system combines digital planning with progressive tooth movement for comfortable, virtually invisible correction.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers transform smiles by correcting tooth color, shape, and alignment imperfections. These thin ceramic shells bond to front teeth surfaces for immediate aesthetic improvement. Our process combines artistic design with precise dental laboratory collaboration to achieve natural-looking results.
Professional Cleanings
Regular professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup that home care cannot eliminate. Our hygienists use advanced techniques to maintain gum health and detect early signs of dental issues. Combined with thorough exams, this preventive approach preserves long-term oral health.
Cosmetic Bonding
Cosmetic bonding restores chipped, cracked, or gapped teeth using tooth-colored composite resin. This cost-effective solution matches natural enamel shade and texture while repairing structural damage. The procedure typically completes in a single visit with immediate functional and aesthetic benefits.

Dr Bryan Foote is personable professional and supported by a staff, keeping patients informed in a pleasant, efficient manner. Front desk, Melanie, is an example, always pleasant and wins your confidence when you check in and check out.

I cannot thank Dr. Foote enough. I needed a minor, but emergency procedure performed as my current dentist was out of the office. I was scheduled within a few hours as Dr. Foote was able to work me in. First impressions: 1. Friendly administrative staff 2. Dental assistant - outstanding and very considerate 3. Dr. Foote - smart, professional and kind Each time Dr. Foote started to do something, he explained it first.
And here is what I thought was meaningful. Each time he asked his assistant for a tool, he used the word 'please' each time. This team is special. If you are looking for a dentist in Columbia, Missouri, put this team on your shortlist.

Dr. Foote is fantastic and most of the staff are also fantastic but I am changing my dentist because of his receptionist Liz. When I call the office I have my fingers crossed that the receptionist answering will not be Liz. I was referred to Dr. Foote by my orthodontist and I think it was a great referral but I decided to switch because every time I call the office I end up feeling bad about it after speaking with the receptionist.

Report
I am very disappointed. I was unable to cancel an appointment due to family out-of-state emergency and was charged for it. I had been unable to pay the fee. When I decided to change dentists they denied me copies of my medical records due to not paying that fee (No other monies were due). Which is illegal according to the Federal Department of Health and Human services. I don't have the money to go through a lawyer and dispute this-obviously, I could pay the fee they charged.
Even after a formal request and an explanation of my situation, they still refused. My daughter is in a lot of pain and needing a tooth pulled. So the well-being of patients doesn't seem to matter to them. I will not recommend them and I will relay my terrible experience with anyone seeking dental work.
