Serving Lamar, MO families with honest, comprehensive dental care — from preventive visits through advanced restorative treatment, all under one roof.
Lamar is Barton County’s seat — a historic community of roughly 4,500 residents situated along Route 160, about 45 miles northeast of Joplin. Northside Family Dentistry, led by Dr. Andrew Byrne, extends its services to Lamar families looking for a dentist who provides honest, comprehensive care they can count on for years. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly half of children ages 2 to 19 have experienced dental caries — which underscores how important it is for families to have a reliable dental home.
Dr. Byrne built his practice at the crossroads of Carl Junction, Webb City, and Joplin specifically to give the surrounding region access to full-scope dental care. Lamar patients who make the drive will find a practice that values their time, explains everything clearly, and provides the kind of relationship-based care that makes a real difference over the long term.
We serve patients of all ages — from young children through seniors. Preventive care includes routine cleanings, comprehensive exams, digital X-rays, oral cancer screenings, and fluoride treatments. Dr. Byrne handles a broad restorative scope in-house, including root canals and extractions, reducing the need for referrals and keeping your care consolidated with one trusted provider.
When you are ready to refresh or restore your smile, we offer professional whitening, porcelain veneers, composite bonding, dental crowns, implants, and bridges. Dr. Byrne works with each patient individually on a plan that fits their goals, budget, and timeline.
Our practice features modern dental technology including a 3D CBCT scanner and in-house 3D printer, which allows for more accurate diagnoses and same-visit restorations in many cases. Patients with dental anxiety will find our approach — gentle, unhurried, and communicative — makes even difficult procedures far more manageable.
Northside Family Dentistry serves patients from Lamar and throughout the broader southwest Missouri region. Whether you are coming from Lamar, Joplin, Webb City, or beyond, our office is designed to serve as your family’s permanent dental home.
We accept most major PPO insurance plans, offer in-house membership plans, and provide flexible in-house payment options. Veterans and first responders receive a discount. We accept cash, credit cards, HSA, and FSA, and our team handles insurance verification before your visit.
