Scott Bares, DDS

Dentistry along the Mississippi. Scott Bares, DDS operates on Main Street in Savanna, where the river town’s quiet pace meets routine care. The practice sits at 401 Main St—just blocks from the waterfront, where the grid of downtown gives way to bluff views. General checkups, cleanings, and fillings fit the expected scope, but the address alone places it in a neighborhood where brick facades and old-storefront charm still define the streets. No flashy signage, no promises of spa-like experiences. Just a dentist’s office in a town where the next appointment might follow a conversation about fishing or the latest barge traffic.

Booking a visit means calling (815) 273-2212, a number that connects to the same building where walk-ins might once have asked for directions to the nearest bait shop. The map pin drops you at the corner of Main and Chicago Avenue, because even in a small town, turning left instead of right can still lead you astray. Some places don’t need much introduction—this is one of them.
