Dr. Cordell Lake
GENERAL DENTIST

Dr. Cordell Lake is a local Farmington resident, but grew up in a small town north of Rolla and has lived all around Missouri. He attended Central Methodist University in Fayette where he received his Bachelors of Science in Biology. He went on to complete his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from University of Missouri – Kansas City. Dr. Lake’s interest in dentistry began when he was a child, as his mother has been a dental assistant for over 20 years; his love for dentistry grew as he began to further realize the immediate and positive impact a dentist can make on a patient’s health. He is a member of the American Dental Association and the Missouri Dental Association. Aside from dentistry, he enjoys reading, traveling, hunting, fishing, all things sports and spending time with his wife, Melissa, and their two Miniature Australian Shepherds (Riley and Ava).

Dr. Cordell Lake is proud to continue the strong lineage of dentists who have served Farmington in this same building. Dr. Lake took over the practice from Dr. Tim O’Bryan, who purchased the office from Dr. Waller in 2008. The office was originally started in the early 1970’s by Dr. Schaper.
