Colbert Margaret L DDS

Springfield’s west side has a quiet rhythm, where residential streets give way to small professional plazas without much fanfare. One of those unassuming storefronts belongs to Colbert Margaret L DDS, a dental office that’s been part of the local landscape for years. You won’t find neon signs or flashy ads—just a straightforward practice handling the kind of work most people only think about twice a year.

The office sits at 1140 Rickard Rd, a low-slung building between a dry cleaner and a tax prep service. It’s the sort of place where routine cleanings, fillings, and the occasional emergency crown get sorted without fuss. General dentistry isn’t glamorous, but it’s necessary, and this spot has been handling the basics—exams, X-rays, root canals—for a steady stream of patients who’d rather not make a production out of a molar.

If you need to reach them, the number is (217) 787-8788. No automated menus, no endless hold music—just a direct line to schedule or ask about a chipped tooth. The practice doesn’t advertise specialty services, but they cover the essentials: preventive care, restorative work, and the occasional extraction when a tooth decides it’s had enough.

For directions, pull up the map—it’s five minutes off the Veterans Parkway exit. Nothing about the place screams novelty, and that’s probably the point.
