Dr. Bill Moorkamp’s solo dental practice had its sights set on growing the practice to help “pass the torch” shortly after his son Dr. Stephen Moorkamp and son-in-law Dr. Charlie Arthur moved back home to Rolla after completing college, dental school and residencies. In 2018, Dr. Stephen and Dr. Charlie purchased the practice from Dr. Bill.

In 2019, Dr. Stephen Moorkamp and Dr. Charlie Arthur continued to invest their future into the Rolla community by purchasing a plot of land and building the new facility. Their vision for the improved oral health of the Rolla Community and surrounding areas has now come to life at 425 Pine Tree Rd.

Dr. Stephen Moorkamp and Dr. Charlie Arthur have gone to great lengths to educate themselves through post-doctoral courses, continuing education programs, and professional study groups. They are both currently putting themselves through the Advanced Restorative Dental Curriculum at the Pankey Institute and are one course away from completing the Pankey Institute’s Essential Curriculum.

Advanced Restorative Dentistry addresses complex dental problems and works to restore damaged teeth to their former glory, using sophisticated techniques and technology. Damaged teeth resulting from excessive wear and tear, natural defects, external injuries or traumas and oral diseases can all be successfully treated by these highly trained Dentists.

In addition, the Drs training in Advanced Restorative Dentistry will help those in Rolla and the surrounding communities who may have neglected their teeth and oral health for many years and are ready to “turn back the hands of time” at a dental facility staffed with a compassionate team ready to welcome them and guide them on their journey to better health.

Dr. Bill is excited that his son Dr. Stephen and son-in-law Dr. Charlie have followed and excelled in the path of higher dental education and Advanced Restorative Dentistry and looks forward to continuing to mentor the Drs at the new dental facility.

Moorkamp & Arthur Family Dentistry has always been dedicated to the health and safety of their patients, team and community. It is their number one priority and core value of the practice. Since the new dental facility was constructed during the COVID-19 pandemic, many of the latest safety and sterilization practices have been enhanced.

Plasma air purifiers are installed as part of the building’s HVAC system, patient treatment rooms are enhanced with a separate HVAC system, and a VistaPure™ Water Purification System has been installed. Other features include low energy usage LED lighting, cellulose insulation, low emissivity double pain windows, and a water conserving central treatment room vacuum system.
