Jordan Valley Expands Kingsley Dental 

Springfield, MO — Jordan Valley Community Health Center (JVCHC) has completed the first of its two-phase Kingsley dental clinic expansion and remodel—significantly increasing access to specialized care for children and adults with special dental care needs.

The expansion grows the clinic’s capacity from four dental operatories to 25 fully equipped treatment rooms, allowing more patients to receive timely, compassionate care close to home.

“Our mission is to make high-quality, accessible care a reality for everyone,” said Dr. Matthew Stinson, CEO of Jordan Valley. “This investment in our Springfield: Kingsley location ensures that more families—including those with unique sensory or special healthcare needs—can get the dental services they deserve in a supportive environment.”

The remodeled clinic is thoughtfully designed with sensory-friendly features, including calming bubble walls, fiber optic carpet, and noise-canceling headphones to support patients with sensory processing disorders or anxiety.

Expanded services now include:

• Comprehensive pediatric dental care from infancy through adolescence
• Specialized services for children and teens, including sedation dentistry and behavioral support
• Dedicated adult dental care with a focus on serving individuals with complex or special healthcare needs 

Dental providers now accepting new patients include:

• Anna Price, Pediatric Dental Specialist, trained in behavior management, pediatric restorative care, and sedation dentistry
• Derek Smith, General Dentist, with extensive experience treating adult patients with special needs
• Bethany Anders, General Dentist, supporting adult and special needs care
• Shannon White, Pediatric Dental Specialist, trained in behavior management, pediatric restorative care, and sedation dentistry

Jordan Valley recommends that children begin dental visits by age one or within six months of their first tooth. Early visits help establish a dental home, prevent future trauma, and build healthy oral care habits from the start.

Expanded services at Kingsley will begin on August 4, 2025.
