About Expedition Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics
A train-themed, fish-tank-equipped office in Nixa built for scheduling several siblings together and easing anxious young children through visits.
Expedition Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics is a pediatric dental practice that also offers orthodontic treatment, including Invisalign, traditional braces, clear aligners, TMJ treatment, and retainers. Reviews describe a newer building with train decor, a fish tank, and play areas that keep kids occupied, and note the office can see multiple siblings in one visit to save families time. Several notes describe staff helping nervous or very young children through procedures by letting them lead the pace or handle tools beforehand. A few reviews raise concerns about billing and phone responsiveness that are worth reading in context.

I cannot say enough good things about this clinic! My daughter has been going there for a couple of years, and we have always been very pleased. Today, she had to have some over-retained baby teeth extracted. She has SEVERE dental anxiety, and Dr. Hayter and her hygienist were absolutely AMAZING!! They were so kind and patient, gave Ruby constant reassurance and kudos, and explained everything thorough and went at a pace that was comfortable for her. I really felt that Dr. Hayter went above and beyond to make the experience as good as possible for my daughter, and I'm so grateful. I highly recommend this practice!!
My 5yr old Autistic son had his first dental appointment with Expedition. They were receptive to making adjustments to his care to ensure this experience positive! My son was so happy to earn a small toy as an award!
My kids love coming here! They have been so helpful handling 2 dental emergencies. Highly recommend!
Wanna get a surprise bill with no actual information regarding the service 8 monghs after an appointment? Want to setup Dental Surgery 6 Months in Advance and Pay for it, only for them to cancel on you the week of because of restrictions that they knew about but decided not to disclose anyways? Want to have Rude people specifically within the Pediatric Care department call you a Liar and Clueless to your face, because you have the Audacity to ask for information on a Bill? Then choose Expedition Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics. Your one stop shop to get completely screwed over at the Dentist, and pay exorbitant prices for sub-optimal care!
This location is really nice. It’s very kid friendly and colorful. Everything looks clean, modern, and well kept. The kids have TVs to watch while getting their teeth worked on. My kids favorite part is always getting a prize in a little machine at the end. I have been several times and the staff have always been pleasant.
