Welcome to Thomas Family Dental

Meet Dr. Letrisha Thomas

Dr. Letrisha A. Thomas, DDS, PC, is a proud lifelong Missourian committed to delivering thoughtful, high-quality dental care to families across Columbia and the surrounding communities. A Summa Cum Laude graduate of the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Dentistry, Dr. Thomas was inspired to pursue dentistry by her aunt’s own career in the field. Today, she’s widely known for her expertise in preventive care, airway evaluation, and functional treatments that support growing smiles.

Dr. Thomas believes that staying current with the latest education and innovations is key to providing excellent care. Every patient receives personalized treatment rooted in both clinical precision and genuine compassion.

Her care for the community goes far beyond the office. Dr. Thomas partners with local organizations to bring care to underserved populations, always striving to make a meaningful impact. Whether she’s evaluating an infant’s airway or helping an adult restore their smile, she brings warmth, understanding, and experience to every appointment.

A Friendly, Experienced Team

At Thomas Family Dental, we treat every patient the way we’d treat our own family—with kindness, honesty, and respect. Dr. Thomas has carefully chosen a team of skilled and compassionate professionals who work together to make your visit feel easy and welcoming. You’ll always be greeted by familiar faces—Melissa, Kaylie, Kellie, Madison, Anna, Shannon, and Rebeccah—who take the time to know you, listen closely, and help you feel at ease.

We’ve designed our office with your comfort in mind, combining modern technology with a calm, relaxed setting. Whether you’re here for a routine cleaning, a restorative procedure, or a service like a frenectomy, our team is here to support you every step of the way with care that’s both professional and personal.

Treatments Designed for Your Family

Thomas Family Dental offers comprehensive general dentistry with a special focus on early developmental care and functional treatments that support overall wellness. As one of the first practices in Columbia to provide laser frenectomies, Dr. Thomas is a trusted provider for infant and toddler tongue- and lip-tie releases, often working alongside pediatricians, ENTs, and lactation consultants throughout the region. With advanced tools like the LightScalpel CO₂ laser, she ensures treatment is gentle, precise, and promotes faster healing.

We also offer airway evaluations for children under 6—giving young patients the best possible foundation for healthy breathing, sleep, and facial growth. In addition to these specialty services, we provide restorative care (including crowns and implant restorations), general family dentistry, and wellness-based treatments like cold sore therapy and red light therapy. Our proactive, whole-health approach helps families stay ahead of dental issues and feel confident in their care.
