Raised in the heart of Central Missouri, Dr. Josh Prather grew up as one of seven kids in rural Boone County near Rocheport. A proud Mizzou graduate, he earned a Biological Engineering degree with honors before completing his Doctorate of Dental Surgery at UMKC School of Dentistry, also with honors. Dr. Prather’s commitment to excellence shines through his extensive post-graduate training, including earning Fellowships with the Academy of General Dentistry (FAGD) and the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (ICOI).
