Our dedication in bringing you the very best in orthodontic treatment is reflected in the education, dedication, and experience of Dr. Gerald Spencer. A native of Oklahoma, Dr. Spencer graduated from Oklahoma State University (OSU) where he was listed on the Dean’s Honor Roll. He pursued his Doctorate Degree in Dentistry at the University of Missouri at Kansas City (UMKC). Dr. Spencer served in the United States Army at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. He then returned to the private practice of dentistry for three years before returning to the Orthodontic Specialty Program at UMKC for a two-year training program.

Dr. Spencer has also completed the rigorous additional study and examinations required to become certified by the American Board of Orthodontics. He is among the small percentage of orthodontists to earn this recognition of excellence in the specialty of Orthodontics.

Dr. Spencer continued study and examinations to receive Diplomat status in the American Academy of Pain Management, an important adjunct for patients suffering chronic headaches due to muscle and jaw (TMJ) dysfunction.

Dr. Spencer was appointed to the Missouri State Dental Board by the Governor of Missouri and served as a member for four years and Board President for one year.

He continues to keep current with the latest advances in orthodontic treatment by enthusiastically pursuing yearly orthodontic education courses and is committed to excellence in his orthodontic practice.

Dr. Spencer utilizes materials that are on the cutting edge of Orthodontic treatment for his patients including titanium wires, clear braces, and a sterilization process which is hospital equivalent and is checked by the UMKC School of Dentistry on a weekly basis. During the x-ray portion of the treatment process, records are taken with the most current digital x-ray equipment offering the lowest radiation exposure possible. These techniques make it possible for our patients to experience a shorter treatment time and the convenience of less time missed for work or school as patients are seen on the average of an 8-12 week interval rather once a month.

Our patients don’t have to tell you they’ve received quality orthodontic care—it’s written all over their faces.
