Josh Prather DDS, FAGD

Raised in the heart of Central Missouri, Dr. Josh Prather grew up as one of seven kids in rural Boone County near Rocheport. A proud Mizzou graduate, he earned a Biological Engineering degree with honors before completing his Doctorate of Dental Surgery at UMKC School of Dentistry, also with honors. Dr. Prather’s commitment to excellence shines through his extensive post-graduate training, including earning Fellowships with the Academy of General Dentistry (FAGD) and the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (ICOI). His expertise spans from routine fillings to complex full-arch reconstructions with dental implants. Now back home in Central Missouri, Dr. Prather is dedicated to serving his community with top-tier dental care. He’s an active member of the Academy of General Dentistry and the American Dental Association, always staying at the forefront of his field. Married to his wife, Krista, Dr. Prather is a devoted father to their two daughters and son. When he’s not crafting confident smiles, you’ll find him exploring the outdoors—hunting, hiking, fishing, or running. Whether it’s a routine cleaning or a transformative implant procedure, Dr. Prather’s passion for dentistry and patient care ensures every visit leaves you smiling brighter.
