Dr. Lais
Dr. Lais grew up in a small town in Southwest Missouri. After high school he attended Missouri Southern State College in Joplin where he earned his BS in Biology, graduating Magna Cum Laude. In 1978 Dr. Lais graduated from UMKC-School of Dentistry with Distinction. He was additionally honored by selection into Omicron Kappa Upsilon (OKU), a National Dental Honor Society that promotes and recognizes scholarship and character among students of dentistry.
Dr. Lais was then on active duty for three years in the U.S. Navy Dental Corps where he had the opportunity to serve rotation under board certified specialists in the areas of oral surgery, endodontics, periodontics, and prosthodontics. This training and experience gave him a wealth of hands on experience in many areas of dentistry and was invaluable when he started private practice. Even after leaving the Navy and opening his own private practice in Joplin, Missouri, Dr. Lais continued to study comprehensive care and has become a life long student of his profession.
