Joseph Formanek

Dental care in southern Independence doesn’t always require a trip to the city center. Just off Bolger Road near 39th Street, Joseph Formanek offers general dentistry in a part of town where strip malls and quiet residential blocks meet. The address—3901 S Bolger Rd—puts it within easy reach of both the historic Truman Road corridor and the newer developments spreading toward Lee’s Summit. It’s the kind of place you’d pass on the way to the post office or the grocery store, then circle back to when you realize you’ve been putting off that cleaning for six months.

Routine checkups, fillings, and basic extractions are the kind of services handled here, the kind that keep a practice running for years without fanfare. Need to reach someone about an appointment? The number is (816) 708-3760. For first-time visitors, the map will show you it’s two doors down from the gas station with the always-busy car wash. Around here, that’s how people give directions.
