Meet the Meyer & Johns Dental Team
Our highly educated and accredited staff is also the friendliest team you’ll meet. It is truly our privilege to provide your dental care and make you feel comfortable and welcome.

Andrew A. Johns, DDS
Dr. Andrew Johns joined our practice in the summer of 2004, and was made a partner after five great years of service. Fifteen years later, Dr. Johns became the proud full owner of Meyer & Johns, and has done a wonderful job. Prior to coming to Springfield, Dr. Johns practiced dentistry in Kansas City. He obtained his DDS in KC as well, from the University of Missouri, Kansas City. He has also obtained a degree in Business Administration from the University of Kansas.
Dr. Johns is currently a member of the American Dental Association, Missouri Dental Association, and the Springfield Dental Society. For more than 15 years, he has been certified by Align Technology to perform Invisalign® on his patients. But Dr. Johns also prides himself on being able to do comprehensive general dentistry for his patients, so you don’t have to be referred out for different dental procedures.
Dr. Johns met his wife, a Springfield native, in Kansas City prior to beginning dental school. The couple moved back to Springfield in 2004, after they both completed graduate school. They have three incredible kids who are their pride and joy: Eva, Vincent, and Patrick. When not busy in the office, Dr. Johns enjoys spending time with his wonderful family, cheering on the Kansas Jayhawks, playing sports (especially golf), and spending time with friends.

Dr. Meyer has been a Springfield resident for most of his life, where he and his family enjoy the sights and scenery, as well as the local culture.
