About Prairie Dental Group
Same-day crowns change your calendar more than they change your bill. Milling a ceramic crown in the office removes the temporary, the second appointment and two weeks of chewing carefully on one side, but the fee usually lands in a similar range to a laboratory-made crown, and the material still matters for back teeth carrying heavy load. Prairie Dental Group offers same-day crowns, so if a cracked molar is what brought you here, the useful question at the consultation is which ceramic gets milled for your particular tooth and how it performs where you actually bite.
This is a locally owned and woman-owned general practice that has been in Springfield since 2000, staffed by an all-female clinical team the office describes as carrying more than 70 years of combined experience. Treatment spans routine preventive care and children's dentistry, restorative work including dental implants and bridges, cosmetic dentistry with whitening and veneers, and Botox and dermal fillers. Emergency appointments are available, which is worth noting because plenty of practices this size refer urgent problems straight out to somebody else.
A first appointment is an examination, imaging and a conversation about what needs doing now against what can reasonably be watched. On the money side, the office is candid that it works with some insurance providers rather than every plan, so verify yours specifically before booking. It also participates in the Veterans Affairs Community Care Partnership, which matters if you are a veteran being routed through that programme. The waiting area has free Wi-Fi, television and massaging chairs, small comforts that still tell you something about how long the office expects some appointments to run.
Find it at 2900 Greenbriar Drive, 62704, among the low-rise professional buildings on Springfield's west side. That is an easy run if you are already out toward White Oaks or living south in Chatham; from Riverton, Rochester or the near east side you are committing to a cross-town drive at whatever Veterans Parkway is doing that hour. Weekdays start at 8 a.m., with a 7:30 opening on Wednesday. Wednesday and Thursday finish at 4 p.m., and Friday closes at 1 p.m. with nothing scheduled at weekends, so a Friday morning slot is the last chance in any given week to deal with something that has been nagging since Monday.

Prairie Dental Group is State of the Art. The dentists are exceptional. No matter your problem or dental situation they have a solution. The dentists, hygienists and staff are knowledgeable, friendly, kind and concerned about each patient. They have the latest equipment and methods. I can’t say enough good about everyone. My husband and I have had various dental procedures done at Prairie including extractions, crowns, bridges etc. over several years. We have always appreciated the concern and expert service and care. Our particular dentist is Dr. Ozure. She is wonderful. We appreciate her so much and highly recommend her. All the dentists are great. We both give Prairie Dental 5+ Stars. Lynn Wagy
Dr. Allison Long was awesome. Very friendly, caring and compassionate! Highly recommend!
I recently had three tooth extractions done, and I honestly can’t say enough good things about Dr. Long and her team at Prairie Dental Group. From start to finish, they were amazing. They consistently checked in on my comfort, clearly explained what was happening at each step, and made sure I felt informed and at ease the entire time. Dental work can be stressful, but they truly went above and beyond to make my experience the best it could be. This was hands down the best dental experience I’ve ever had, and I highly recommend Prairie Dental Group to anyone looking for compassionate, professional care.
Told you I can’t afford it, but yet you are very rude on the phone. You need to have better phone etiquette.
Ladies at the front desk were great. Didn't wait super long to get taken back to a chair. Dental assistant(can't remember her name. Sorry! 😅) was very thorough and great. Dr. Ozyurt was amazing, kind and explained everything in detail and made me comfortable with the idea of having a major oral surgery with no anesthetic, something I never would have dreamed of before 😬 great experience all around and I look forward to finally having my teeth removed at my next appointmentand not being in pain 🫶🏻
My husband was referred to Prairie Dental by the VA. Cathy is great dealing with the VA!! He's been going to them for a few months, having extensive work done and he's had absolutely no problems. The doctors and staff are the best you could ask for!!! So kind and friendly!! If my insurance covered them, I'd be going there as well!! We highly recommend this dental group to anyone!!
Dr Allison Long and the whole staff are amazing! There is absolutely no reason to have concerns of pain, or the quality of care. As for myself, I had deep cleaning, with no discomfort. I had 4 crowns done in one session, and I was made comfortable and well informed the entire time. The office personnel and technicians are extremely courteous and knowledgeable. I'm so happy to have found them.
