We are excited to welcome Dr. Erin Goode to our team at the end of July! If you'd like to make an appointment with Dr. Goode, please call our office - we'd be happy to get you scheduled!

Dr. Goode was born and raised in Savannah, Georgia. She graduated summa cm laude from the University of Alabama with a Bachelor of Science in Biology before earning her Doctor of Dental Medicine from the Dental College of Georgia.

During dental school, Dr. Goode was involved in the American Association of Women Dentists and the American Student Dental Association, and she was inducted into Omicron Kappa Upsilon, the national dental honor society, in recognition of her outstanding academic achievement, leadership and character.

Dr. Goode and her husband, Roman, are excited to begin their next chapter in Columbia, where Roman works with the Mizzou football team. Outside of dentistry, Dr. Goode enjoys traveling, reading, and spending time with her dog, Ollie. She is dedicated to lifelong learning and providing compassionate, high-quality care to every patient she serves.

The small business community in Columbia is amazing! We're proud to support Tiny Play Café so littles can play dentist (and princess and construction worker and teacher and...)!

One of the most rewarding parts of small business ownership is getting to know and working alongside other local small businesses. Building these relationships allows us to support one another, collaborate in meaningful ways, and ultimately make our community an even better place for families. We’re so grateful for our sponsors and the opportunity to grow together.

We are so thankful for our sponsors 84 Construction LLC, Angell & Co. Insurance, Pixel Jam Digital, Tiny Tot Innovations, Escuelita Alegría: Spanish Immersion Preschool, Bear Creek Family Dental

Early education on dental care is the way to go! Thanks, Escuelita Alegría: Spanish Immersion Preschool for inviting us to teach about keeping our sonrisas (smiles) healthy!

During Health & Safety Week, dental hygienist Yohali from Bear Creek Family Dental visited our students who were learning all about taking care of their dientes! Thank you, Yohali, for teaching our students about their teeth en español!

We are proud to celebrate Dr. Shull on achieving the prestigious Mastership in the Academy of General Dentistry (MAGD) — one of the highest honors a general dentist can earn.

To earn MAGD, dentists must complete 1,100 of continuing education, including 400 hours of hands-on coursework. Only about 2% of dentists in the U.S. achieve the Master of the Academy of General Dentistry distinction. This honor shows Dr. Shull’s dedication to learning the latest techniques and providing patients with the very best care.

We’re proud to celebrate this milestone and grateful to have him caring for our community’s smiles! 🦷✨

We love to be a part of the community, especially for our smallest smiles! If you have littles and want a great indoor place to play, check out Tiny Play Café! While you're there, make sure you get an exam and cleaning from your budding dentist!

When Bear Creek Family Dental discussed their intent to sponsor, one of their goals was to familiarize young children with what a dental exam would look and feel like and to educate and make them feel comfortable visiting the dentist.

What a wonderful family approach! With the utmost care and concern for the littlest of guests comes a great dental experience.
