Dr. Richard Campos is passionate about creating a dental home where patients of all ages feel comfortable, valued, and cared for. A lifelong Missourian, Dr. Campos earned his degrees from Missouri S&T, UMKC, and the Missouri School of Dentistry and Oral Health at A.T. Still University.
He began his career serving rural and urban communities through the National Health Service Corps before founding Southtown Family Dental in the Waldo/Brookside area. Inspired by local dentists’ commitment to community while he was still a student, Dr. Campos continues that tradition today – combining advanced dental care with a welcoming, patient-first approach.
At Southtown Family Dental, we believe everyone deserves compassionate, high-quality dental care in a place that feels like home. Located in the heart of South Kansas City’s Waldo/Brookside area, our practice is built on trust, personalized care, and a commitment to improving the health and well-being of our community. That’s why we proudly accept Medicaid for patients of all ages.
Led by Dr. Richard Campos, our experienced team provides a full range of services – from routine exams and cleanings to advanced restorative treatments. We understand that visiting the dentist can sometimes feel stressful, so we take extra care to make every patient feel comfortable, heard, and respected. Whether you’re here for preventive care or more complex treatment, you’ll find a welcoming, relaxed environment designed around your needs.
We accept a wide range of insurance plans, including Medicaid. For those without insurance, we also offer straightforward private pay options. Contact us and we’ll be happy to walk you through your coverage and costs.
