Courtney Atkinson, DMD

Dexter’s quiet stretch along South 1 Mile Road isn’t just farmland and open skies—it’s also home to Courtney Atkinson, DMD, an orthodontic practice serving the area. The office sits at 720 S 1 Mile Rd, a straightforward location for anyone coming from town or the surrounding rural routes. Orthodontics here covers the usual spectrum: braces for kids and adults, clear aligner options, and retainers for post-treatment care. It’s the kind of place where routine adjustments and first-time consultations happen without fanfare.

Orthodontic work often gets associated with teenagers, but the services extend well beyond that. Whether it’s early interceptive treatment for younger patients or discreet solutions for adults, the focus remains on functional results. The practice doesn’t advertise specialty niches—just the core work of straightening teeth and correcting bites. For those mapping out their route, the address places it a short drive from Dexter’s downtown, near the intersection where county roads meet.

Questions about treatment plans or scheduling are best directed to the office phone at (573) 273-4265. If you’re unfamiliar with the area, plugging the address into a map will show you it’s just past the old grain elevators, where the road widens. Around here, people tend to say: *If you’ve driven by the water tower, you’ve gone too far.*
