Dr. Bauer is the literally the best and kindest dentist. I was in pain and needed an extraction last week. The entire team, including Teri, Amanda, Taylor and Brooke, helped get me in and taken care of. Dr. Bauer even came in on a Saturday to double check on my tooth. I would strongly recommend 417 Smiles. So grateful!

My son had a tooth that was causing him a lot of pain. 417 staff got us in quickly and Dr. Bauer was so friendly and helpful. He got us in sooner than our appointment since my son was in pain. The staff helped us with making an appointment at another clinic for a root canal quickly. I see Dr. Sara for my routine check ups she also has exceptional table side manners. Cheryl is top notch too!

To start, my hygienist was wonderful and personable. Kelsey did a wonderful job and didn't hurt my gums. You could tell she was well educated on all things dental as well as gave me a good precursor on what Dr. Bauer was going to discuss with me during my exam. I briefly got to sit in Jenifer's chair. I've worked as a dental assistant for quite some time and let me tell you she knows all the tricks of the trade. My first ever impression that was painless and didn't gag me! Finally, Doctor Bauer educated me on what steps I could take to really have my teeth be as healthy as possible. She was personable while also concise with her diagnosis. I had a wonderful experience as a new patient in this office and will be referring everyone! Thank you again.

417 Smiles is a family owned general dentistry practice in Springfield, Missouri, located near the intersection of Lone Pine and Sunshine, behind McDonalds. The practice has deep roots in the community, having grown out of a dental office that traces back to 1974, and it offers dental implant solutions including full arch and All-on-4 style treatment for patients who are missing some or all of their teeth. Beyond implants, the office provides a full range of general and cosmetic services, so patients considering implants can also handle cleanings, fillings, root canals, and crowns under the same roof.
The dental team includes a husband and wife pair of dentists who took over the practice from a father who founded it, giving the office a genuinely multi-generational, family run feel that patients frequently mention. Along with implant dentistry, 417 Smiles offers cosmetic dentistry, laser dentistry, dentures, and limited adult orthodontic options like clear aligners, giving patients several paths to restoring a complete smile. For anyone in the Springfield, Missouri area weighing dental implants, the practice presents itself as a longtime local option that combines implant and full arch treatment with everyday family dental care.
417 Smiles is home to three dentists: Dr. Nathan J. Bauer, DDS, Dr. Sara M. Bauer, DDS, and Dr. Seema Nair, DDS. Dr. Sara Bauer earned her dental degree from the University of Missouri-Kansas City Dental School in 2007 and later took over the practice from her father, Dr. Stephen R. Young, DDS, who founded the office and is now retired. Dr. Nathan Bauer previously worked with another local dentist before joining the practice, and the couple purchased it in January 2013 and renamed it 417 Smiles. Dr. Seema Nair graduated from the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Dentistry in 2016 and worked at a community health center before joining Dr. Nathan Bauer and Dr. Sara Bauer at the practice.
