ARE YOU A NEW DENTAL PATIENT?
Nixa Dental History
Our building at 106 West State Street has been welcoming area dental patients since 1946. Dr. W. Victor Wood started the first dental practice in Nixa right here in 1946. In 1977 Dr. Michael K. Butterfield kept the tradition alive when he began practicing here. After several glowing recommendations, Dr. Sutherland became a patient of Dr. Butterfield’s, and Dr. Butterfield even wrote her letter of recommendation for dental school. Dr. Sutherland was incredibly happy to be able to return to our area, and continue the legacy of offering the highest quality dentalcare at 106 W State St as Nixa Dental. We are very proud of our deep roots in our community and our strong personal relationships with our patients!
