Lakeside Dental & Wellness

Dental clinics tend to cluster near grocery stores and gas stations. Lakeside Dental & Wellness sits on Ohio Street, a quiet stretch where the sidewalks feel wider and the traffic lights change slower. It’s the kind of block where you might forget you’re in Augusta—until the grain elevators rise in the distance, reminding you this is still Kansas.

Preventive care and cosmetic work share the same waiting list here. Cleanings, fillings, and crowns are routine; whitening and veneers get scheduled alongside them. The clinic also handles root canals and extractions, though patients usually hope they won’t need either. Emergency slots open up when someone chips a tooth on a popcorn kernel or wakes up with a swollen jaw. The address is 2814 Ohio St, a single-story building with a sign that’s easy to miss if you’re speeding past.

Most people find their way through word of mouth or a quick search for “dentist near me.” Directions are straightforward—turn off State Route 96 and follow the street numbers until Ohio hits 2800. The map pinpoints the spot, but the real landmark is the old water tower painted with the school mascot. If you’re new to the area, that’s the thing to look for.

Appointments fill up fast, especially in the weeks before school starts. Call (316) 775-5451 to book a slot or ask about last-minute openings. The front desk answers between nine and five, though messages left after hours get returned the next morning. It’s not the only dental office in town, but it’s the one where people keep coming back.
