Cure Dental

Experiencia negativa: I had previously left a 5 star review, but due to the front desk worker messing up appointment times, no reminder texts like I was told I would have, and being charged $150 for an appointment i didn't schedule but somehow missed, after showing up for an appointment I HAD scheduled only to be told i didn't have one... I have decided to change my review. After being charged the $150 for missing an appointment I was unaware of... They have decided to put a "sheduling restriction" on my account and I can no longer schedule appointments. Sad That 1 employee can really ruin a great place.

Experiencia positiva: Very nice staff. Will definitely not be back..I said I would be back, but I won't...Fonda is very rude. Was never informed that I would be charged a 75 cancelation fee. Made a payment of 152 that I will not reimbursed due to my cancelation..she got upset when I stated that I will go somewhere else for treatment..for some reason Fonda could never verify my insurance went elsewhere they were able to verify my insurance...not sure if she was having a bad day or what. She was very rude and wouldn't let get a word in by over talking me.

Experiencia negativa: *Please read if you are a human being who is subject to illness.* I wish I would have read the low reviews prior to booking. My child came down with a sore throat the day before the appt. I called as soon as possible, explained the situation, and that I would need to reschedule my appts. The woman on the phone said their would be a $75 fee for each appt cancelled/rescheduled, and no exceptions for sickness. I was shocked. I don't know who decided this policy, but I guess they are never ill. Think twice before booking with this office.

Experiencia negativa: Their website claims they except Medicaid and other insurance plans, but when I called they said they do not accept Medicaid and it would be fully out of pocket.

Experiencia negativa: Dr Shipley was super rude not nice at all I will never be back and don’t recommend

Experiencia negativa: Really wish I could leave 0 stars and say how I really feel but I'll keep it more professional unlike the billing department when you talk to them. I had an appointment in Aug. of 2025; I was requested to pay "X" amount up front (which was paid using two cards) and an insurance claim was also filed. I had the procedure done THAT DAY and NEVER heard anything again from Cure Dental until 2/17/2026, I received a Thank you for your payment email. OK??? umm what and why? Had to look on all my accounts and finally, we noticed it came off of a card my GIRLFRIEND used on the day of the procedure to help pay half of the upfront cost and the other half out of our bank. was told by the ever so rude woman in billing that "putting cards on file gives them authorization to pay unpaid balances on an account if it goes passed 90 days" IT TOOK THEM almost 200 days to take this payment that they are saying I owed. That card should not have been kept on file, we aren't married and she IS NOT responsible for any bills medical or otherwise that her name is not on. But if it's a "policy" here why aren't more places implementing this kind of policy? She was not notified that charges would be coming off of her card especially over 194 days later (that's over 100 days later than the 90-day policy I was told about, just doesn't make sense). They are not complying with my emails where I have simply asked for copies of any bills they say are on file or any of the 20+ emails they say they have sent me. I have fidelity HSA records showing where my gf paid so much and I have bank statements showing so much was paid by the bank, I even have the insurance copy showing what they billed insurance (BTW even that is a different number than we were told that day). I'm not denying any charges or refusing to pay, I'm simply wanting documents of these bills or emails for my records simply showing what was done, and what was paid, and what insurance was charged and what insurance covered, yet they aren't replying to emails. I have tried calling and started out very respectable talking to billing, but when she is started saying I was lying about the emails saying if I received the thank you for the payment email then I received the other emails and then suddenly brings up our relationship status because morgan used her card (again we're not married and it's simply not her business) This is the most unprofessional treatment I have ever experienced.

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve had several extractions in my life by some really good dentists, but my experience at cure dental was WAY beyond good. The entire staff was very friendly and professional. The extraction itself was by far the easiest and less painful than any I’ve had before. 5 stars ✨ for sure !

Experiencia negativa: The worst receptionist at this dentist office I have ever spoken to! In severe pain needing an appointment, but today is a holiday and they cannot verify my insurance until tomorrow, which the appointment would not be until tomorrow anyway, I even offered to pay cash and still the girl had an attitude and told me this probably wasn’t the place for me to be seen. Wow way to go customer service for a new patient with Insurance!

Experiencia fantástica: Love Cure Dental and Dr. Shipley. The visit was amazing and the work excellent.

Experiencia fantástica: We had such a great experience with Dr. Shipley and the team at Cure Dental! My daughter, who is 17, has always been a bit anxious about dental visits, but this office made all the difference. From the moment we arrived, the staff was warm, professional, and so attentive to her needs. Dr. Shipley was absolutely wonderful—kind, patient, and clearly experienced in working with teens. They took the time to explain everything to my daughter in a way that made her feel respected and at ease. The atmosphere of the office is calm, clean, and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. It’s not always easy to find a dentist who connects well with older teens, but this practice truly gets it. My daughter left her appointment feeling confident and well cared for—and that says a lot! Highly recommend to any parent of a teen looking for top-quality dental care in a supportive environment.

Experiencia negativa: And now instead of emailing me back, they’ve posted a personal email message I sent them online for anyone to see. This just reinforced my 1 star review as to why I will not be using their office or recommending them to anyone. Violating people’s privacy is apparently part of their code of conduct. Now that they’ve been called out for invasion of privacy, their comment gets changed to “I don’t know what I’m talking about and going off hearsay”. This is not how a proper business should handle issues that people have with them. I cannot in good conscience support a dentist who treats their patients, or past patients now, in such a horrible manner.

Experiencia negativa: My wife was a patient of Cure Dental but at her last visit she mentioned sensitivity and concerns of her last filling by Dr. Shipley breaking. My wife was discharged without further explanation and recieved a letter stating no further explanation would be given as to why mentioning "trust." Seeing how these negative reviews recieve more explanation than she was offered, here's hoping. Beware, something is off at this business. Notice almost all positive reviews are of "experience" ,"friendliness" , "service." Very few mention "quality of work." Try Cross Trails Response: Thank you for your response. Though it reinforces our initial concerns about a lack of transparency, honesty and trust. All we ask is the reason for dismissal but continue to receive a workaround. This raises concerns as to what Cure Dental may be concealing. Also, this is the best and most timely communication we've recieved regarding this issue. Is this standard Cure practice to communicate such issues with your company online? On Google reviews? This surely takes more time than a courtesy call with an actual reason. Once again, buyer beware

Experiencia negativa: William Shipley was my dentist, I showed him these the black thing on my teeth (they were BAD cavitys) now I have to get 2 teeth pulled and 2 surgery done

Experiencia fantástica: In all of my experiences with healthcare, dentists, and any other public services, I have never seen any place genuinely care about human beings as much as the people at Cure care about their patients. They go above and beyond to get to know you and to make you feel cared for. They are kind, understanding, and have made going to the dentist the absolute best it can be. They care about the little things, can always give you cost quotes up front (which are always fair and they work to get a low as possible) and they never pressure you to do anything. I feel honored to be a patient at Cure, and my entire family has switched to them since I started going. They are genuinely some of the most wonderful people I've ever had the pleasure of interacting with. I'm so glad I switched to Cure - I don't ever want to go to another dentist!

Experiencia negativa: I had to cancel an appointment 3 days in advance due to my husband having to work suddenly. They were not kind at all. Sent me a weird message a day later saying I could no longer schedule appointments. People have things come up in life & I have plenty of notice to cancel. Rude people!

Experiencia fantástica: I genuinely can’t recommend Cure Dental enough. From the moment you walk through the door, you’re treated with such kindness and care. It has completely changed the way I feel about going to the dentist. Every single person there is warm, patient, and incredibly professional, but what really sets them apart is how comfortable and safe they make you feel. After some not-so-great experiences elsewhere, the difference is night and day. At Cure Dental, they take their time, explain everything clearly, and are so gentle and compassionate throughout the entire visit. You never feel rushed or judged—just supported and cared for. It’s rare to find a dental office where kindness and comfort are clearly just as important as the clinical work, but Cure Dental truly gets it right. I actually look forward to my appointments now!

Experiencia fantástica: 11/10, Would recommend, they went above and beyond. After not having been to a dentist in 7 years I became terrified of going. This caused my teeth problems to snowball into a constant stress on my mind and pain in my mouth. My previous dentists talked down to me, didn't respect me, it always felt like me being there was an annoyance to them. Dr. Shipley treated me like a person, and when I felt all the tension and fear of the dentist I had built up finally fade away I nearly started crying in his office. This place is so much different than that. Everyone is so nice, the entire process is well thought out to prioritize the clients comfort. They have TVs above the chairs, and give you a hot towel after your done. I cannot overstate how much I recommend this dentist in comparison to their competitors in Cape OR Jackson.

Experiencia fantástica: they really make you feel confident. While everyone in the surrounding area told me there was no helping my teeth to just get them pulled. Dr. Shipley and his team is willing to help me and go the extra mile! Awesome place!!

Experiencia fantástica: My girls love going here they said you get to watch whatever you like and they offer you a weighted blanket while they work on your teeth..

Experiencia fantástica: My favorite dentist . The team is very friendly and professional. Always a pleasant experience

Experiencia fantástica: I appreciate the thorough examination they provided.

Experiencia fantástica: My first experience was great amazing from the receptionist to the hygienist to the dentist to the financial advisor I found me a new home dentistry great place love the environment state of the art technology I recommend Cure

Experiencia fantástica: Always friendly! They treat me like family evertime

Experiencia fantástica: Everybody are very friendly and always worth it to drive in cape for my dental appointment!

Experiencia fantástica: Holy Terror! That is what I was feeling as I walked in for my appointment! I knew I had a cavity right on the front tooth, near the gum line. But the xrays showed that I had a second cavity on the next tooth, on the back. Oh no! Double terror! I shared my fear with Dr. Shipley. With that gentle smile, he discussed options. I decided to go with the 'laughing gas.' I had never had it but I trusted him. After a wonderful cleaning, I was moved to another room. His Assistant made me comfortable and explained the process. She applied a topical numbing agent and we waited. Pretty soon, the oxygen was affixed to my nose. Then she said, here comes the good stuff! In, I don't know how long, Dr. Shipley came in. He asked me if I felt that. Felt what? No, it was all good. Doc began to work his magic. I never felt one thing. He gave me numbing injections and, I just lay there, transported to another plane. I have no idea how long he worked on me. All of a sudden, a mirror was given to me to see the Doctor's beautiful craftsmanship. My tooth was beautiful. The white filling blended in so well. There was no sign of the previous decay. The Assistant ran pure oxygen through my tube to help clear the gas. I went out into the lobby and sat for a while. I was presented a soothing apple juice. And when I felt comfortable, I left. Dr. Shipley runs a tight ship. And everyone wears the most beautiful smile. I love it! I am pretty sure I won't experience that same terror ever again. Because now I know that Dr. Shipley will take good care of me!

Experiencia fantástica: The doctor is very skilled - but it’s truly his staff that makes their service excellent.

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing experience for both me, 29 adult way passed due visit and my 3 year olds first visit. 10/10 and cannot wait to go back

Experiencia fantástica: My husband and I are both patients of Dr. Shipley’s. We absolute adore him and his staff. There is no other dentist that I will ever see. Everyone is so friendly and personable. You can tell they really care about you.

Experiencia fantástica: Loved my first visit. Staff was exceptionally nice and Dr Shipley was awesome checking for any dental issues. Would recommend for any family member.

Experiencia fantástica: My visit at Cure Dental was refreshing and delightful. The entire staff was very hospitable and friendly. The environment especially made my visit a pleasant one. While cleaning my teeth I was able to watch my favorite shows, movies or sports. Dr. Shipley made this possible. His life’s dream was to establish a successful dental practice. He certainly has done that. I was impressed with his great concern for my welfare. Also, I enjoyed the way he interacted with his staff. It’s just one happy family. My only regret is that I did not know about Dr. Shipley years ago. Ben S.

Experiencia fantástica: Great atmosphere. Different from any other dental office I've been in. Efficient yet personable. Dr. Shipley and staff are very positive and great to interact with.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr Shipley and staff are great!! I have been coming here since he opened, and have yet to be disappointed. Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely the loveliest place! Everyone is so kind and loving! They will make you feel so loved and taken care!

Experiencia fantástica: Cure Dental is by far the best dentist office that my family has ever seen. The receptionist greets every person by their name as they are walking through the door no matter how early or late you arrive. I had a took break off and they were able to immediately get me in to fix it.

Experiencia fantástica: Wonderful hygienist and dentist!

Experiencia fantástica: The dentist is very knowledgeable about different teeth & how to make someone feel better about their teeth & their smile

Experiencia fantástica: I went in to get checked out for a at-home teeth whitening kit, after getting the 3D scan done, I had some concerns about the alignment of my teeth. The whole team was very attentive to my concerns and were very informative on my next steps! I am very excited to work with Cure Dental to get the smile that I want!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Shipley and the whole team made my experience great! They make me feel safe and they do fantastic work! The whole staff is very welcoming and friendly as soon as you walk in the door. My family and I will not go anywhere else. Cure Dental is the best dental office around!

Experiencia positiva: Tia is so sweet and a great hygienist!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Shipley and his staff are top notch. I have honestly never had a better, or more relaxing experience getting dental work done. The headphones, and Apple TV on the ceiling are the icing on the cake.

Experiencia fantástica: I have never been treated as well as I was today by a dental office. Some of the ones I have used seems to treat you just as a number. They took care and time to explain what was the plan for me and my needs. I would recommend them to anyone. I will be going back very soon to get started on what I need done. I feel very good about my experience and if anyone else would just try them they will be happy about going to the dentist too!!

Experiencia fantástica: Best dentist I have ever been to.

Experiencia fantástica: Great service and everyone is friendly. Glad I changed to Cure Dental.

Experiencia fantástica: Staff was extremely helpful and polite, and after having been through trauma in the past with dentists, I felt more at ease in a very short time with Cure. The whole staff was amazing and considerate at a very unpleasant time.

Experiencia fantástica: I found Cure Dental about a year ago through a give away. Growing up with family that were dental hygienists I had great experiences, but since moving to SEMO about 13 years ago they were less than desirable. I decided to give Cure Dental a shot and they have FAR exceeded my expectations. They provide a great experience and take away all of the anxiety associated with going to the dentist. I actually look forward to going to the dentist now and have recommended Cure Dental to all of my friends here. If you’ve been hesitant about going to the dentist, I suggest you give them a chance. You won’t be let down.

Experiencia fantástica: The BEST!!! So friendly and accommodating. Love this place!

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone was super nice & caring, I've never had a dentist office throughly check everything out & care and just overall take care of everything & come up with a treatment plan that is best for me!

Experiencia fantástica: Very nice and respectful

Experiencia fantástica: I love how efficient the check-in process is! Carrie at the front desk was amazing and answered all my questions, and everyone that worked with me was very friendly and professional. I also love how the facility is laid out!

Experiencia fantástica: This is the best dentist office I have ever visited! I was having some wisdom tooth pain and they got me in the same day to been seen. Dr. Shipley gave me my options and I decided to have it pulled. I was a little nervous since I have never had a tooth pulled but my experience was great. I didn’t feel a thing. All of the staff and so friendly and accommodating. Also they are great with kids! My 5 year old is a patient and they are so good with her! I 100% recommend Cure Dental!

Experiencia fantástica: Very professional, great vibes. A mix of the modern medical office with a lot of the small town caring qualities.

Experiencia fantástica: As always the staff made feel quite comfortable and very informative

Experiencia fantástica: My daughter had the composite veneers put on and they turned out great.. very natural looking and the staff is always so nice and accommodating!!

Experiencia fantástica: I walked in with a loose tooth and a toothache, had never been there before! They quickly worked me in and pulled the tooth without any pain whatsoever. The dentist and the staff were super friendly!!

Experiencia fantástica: My first experience has been nothing short of amazing! Everyone was so kind, comforting and very knowledgeable. They were eager to help me get my smile back to where I want it and more than willing to work with me financially, which gave me so much hope and gratitude. The atmosphere is very relaxing, you can tell they genuinely care about making the experience as easy going as possible. They also had top of the line equipment that also helped to make the experience a quick and easy process. I would definitely recommend them to anyone in need of a Dentist!

Experiencia fantástica: They do a wonderful job. I highly recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: I LOVE LOVE LOVE Cure Dental and have no plans of ever going anywhere else. The entire staff is so nice and welcoming. The atmosphere they cultivate is one of quality care, expertise, and compassion. Cure Dental is like no other. Top tier! ❤️

Experiencia fantástica: Such nice people and the service was excellent I will definitely return to them in the future for my dental work

Experiencia fantástica: Cure Dental does a great job making you feel taken care of and comfortable. They offer a variety of items to help ease anxiety as they are aware that the dentist’s office is a stressful environment for a large majority of people. I typically choose a weighted blanket and headphones with access to a Smart TV to help put me at ease. Tia is an excellent hygienist and keeps you informed throughout the cleaning process. Dr. Shipley has a great bedside manner and, though already knowledgeable, is always seeking to learn even more. Cure Dental has gone above and beyond at each of my appointments!

Experiencia fantástica: Caring and professional

Experiencia fantástica: I am forever grateful for Dr. Shipley and the entire team at Cure Dental. They changed my life. Without them, I would not have the smile or confidence I have today. They truly care for every patient and make you feel so comfortable while you are there. I'm so glad I found them!

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve been terrified of going to the dentist for most of my life. I’m talking full blown anxiety attacks and intense dread, which resulted in only going to the dentist when I was in intense pain. I’ve been a patient of Dr. Shipley’s for just over a year and I can genuinely say that I look forward to going there. They go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable. I’ve never been made to feel ashamed about my teeth there (they need a lot of work). They are giving me a beautiful smile that I’ve wanted for so long.

Experiencia fantástica: Best team I’ve ever encountered. Latest technology, knowledgeable and experienced staff and excellent dentist! They truly go out of their way to make sure you’re comfortable and have the best experience possible! I’d recommend them to all my friends and family.

Experiencia fantástica: So amazing!!! We love going to cure!

Experiencia fantástica: Best dental place I have ever been too. I suffer from anxiety and everyone there respected that. They always made sure I was comfortable 10 out of 10 recommend! I will be going back for all my dental needs.

Experiencia fantástica: Fantastic office, excellent hygienists, friendly efficient front desk, and competent personable dentist. Very high tech office with all the bells and whistles.

Experiencia fantástica: Cure dental is definitely a different kind of dentist office, it's clean, high tech, organized, I have never had to wait to be seen, and the staff, I have no idea where they find such lovely ,kind people, they will literally do anything to make you comfortable, it's very refreshing for this 55 year old patient

Experiencia fantástica: Great environment and staff that truly goes above and beyond for their patients!!

Experiencia fantástica: Best dentist office I’ve ever been to. Everyone is so kind and welcoming.
