Dr. James A. Dryden, DDS

If you need more than a routine filling, an endodontist steps in to treat pain where others can’t. In Joplin’s west side, Dr. James A. Dryden, DDS provides specialized root-canal therapy, endodontic retreatment, and treatment for traumatic dental injuries. Beyond standard work, the office handles cracked-tooth repairs and emergency pulpal therapy—procedures that preserve natural teeth and avoid extraction when possible.

Three blocks south of the Route 71 bypass sits 620 W 32nd St A in a strip of professional offices just off Rangeline Road. From Joplin High’s old football stadium a few minutes’ drive east, the route is quick and avoids downtown congestion. Call once you’re on the road—(417) 782-3636—and let them know you’re heading over for endodontic treatment rather than a routine check.

When the street numbers blur or your GPS stalls, pull up the map for exact directions: find your way. Pull into the lot and you’re at the right door; the rest is precision endodontics inside.
