Dr. Ronald Weems

Wood River’s quiet streets hold a few essentials—grocers, cafes, and a handful of local services that keep the neighborhood running. Among them is Dr. Ronald Weems, a dentist’s office along Vaughn Road, where routine care and unexpected toothaches get the same attention. The practice sits at 1915 Vaughn Rd, just off the main stretch, in a part of town where the sidewalks feel a little wider and the traffic a little lighter.

Dental visits here cover the basics—cleanings, fillings, and exams—but also extend to crowns, bridges, and emergency treatments when something urgent comes up. X-rays and simple extractions round out the list, though the focus stays on keeping things straightforward rather than flashy. It’s the kind of place where a chipped tooth or a sudden ache doesn’t have to wait until next week, assuming the schedule aligns.

Calls to book an appointment go to (618) 259-2007, and while the office doesn’t post its hours online, most locals know to ring early in the day. For directions, the map pinpoints the exact spot: here. The area around Vaughn Road has a way of feeling unhurried, even when the rest of the region hums with activity.
