Oxford Dental is a family-owned practice in the heart of Oxford, Mississippi, caring for generations of smiles since 1975. From routine cleanings to complete smile makeovers, our compassionate team pairs state-of-the-art technology with genuinely personal care — so every visit feels comfortable, unhurried and tailored to you.
A full range of dental services tailored to each patient's unique needs — from preventive care that helps you avoid major work later, to advanced cosmetic and orthodontic treatment.
The foundation of a healthy smile — regular care that catches small issues early and helps minimize the chance of needing major dental work in the future.
Gentle, positive visits that help children build confidence early — and care for parents and grandparents in the same practice, often on the same day.
Straighter teeth, discreetly — with clear aligners that fit your lifestyle, plus traditional braces when they're the better option.
Thoughtful improvements that still look like you — planned with you, tooth by tooth, for a smile you're proud to share.
Strong, natural-looking repairs and replacements that bring back comfortable chewing, clear speech and confidence.
Toothache, a chipped tooth or a knocked-out tooth? Call us — the team works hard to see emergencies quickly, and same-day help is often possible.
Jaw pain, headaches, worn teeth from grinding, or restless sleep can all start in the mouth. Dr. Mercier provides experienced care for these concerns.
Nervous about the dentist? You're not alone — and this office was designed with you in mind, down to the little touches.
Modern tools mean more precise treatment, fewer surprises and, often, fewer visits.
Crooked or misaligned teeth affect more than looks; they can affect your confidence and your oral health. Clear aligners straighten discreetly and comfortably, and they're removable for eating, brushing and flossing.
At Oxford Dental you can choose Invisalign®, or our own Oxford Clear Aligners — 3D-printed for a precise, comfortable fit. Treatment typically takes 6–18 months depending on your needs, and flexible payment options, including 0% financing through CareCredit, can spread the cost.
Call (662) 234-5222 or book online — we'll evaluate your smile and talk through your goals.
Our orthodontic team customizes a plan for your teeth, timeline and budget.
Wear your aligners, check in with us along the way, and watch your smile change.
Creating a positive environment early helps children value their oral health as they grow. Our pediatric care in Oxford focuses on stress-free visits for young patients — and on earning the trust of their parents, too.
Young patients finish their visit with a trip to our “secret drawer” of fun rewards, like fidget spinners and light-up toys. It's a small touch — but it's the kind of detail families remember, and one reason parents tell us their children are actually excited to come back.
Our commitment to this community runs deep. As a family-owned practice, we're grateful for the trust Oxford families have placed in us for nearly five decades — and honored to have been voted the Best Dental Office in Oxford, recognized among the “Best of Oxford,” and named a Best Dental Office by Parents of Ole Miss.
What keeps patients coming back — and bringing their children and grandchildren — is simple: professional care that still feels personal. You'll be greeted by name, given a tour if it's your first visit, and told clearly what treatment you need, what it costs, and what your options are, before anything begins.
Four dentists who bring together expertise, innovation and compassion — and who live, work and raise their families right here in and around Oxford.
Hailing from New Albany, MS, Dr. Mercier brings over 20 years of dental expertise to Oxford, where he proudly lives with his family. His specialties include Invisalign treatment and smile makeovers, alongside teeth bonding and care for bruxism, sleep apnea and plaque buildup. What fuels his passion most, he says, is the enduring relationships he builds with patients — and the transformative power of a confident smile.
Member of the American Dental Association, the American Orthodontic Society and the Tri-Lakes Study Club. At home in Oxford with his wife Janine and their four children, and deeply involved in community life.
Known for her gentle touch, friendly manner and clear communication, Dr. Phillips is committed to high-quality, personalized care for patients of all ages — every visit comfortable, informative and stress-free. She especially enjoys same-day crowns, Invisalign treatment and complete smile makeovers. Look out for her signature cheerful “Hello!”
From Forest, MS. Studied at the University of Mississippi, then earned her dental degree at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis. Enjoys tennis, Pilates and cheering on Ole Miss with her husband Bridges and their two children, Palmer and baby Bridges.
A proud Oxford native, Dr. Morrison deeply values serving the community where he grew up. His love of helping others, working with his hands and finding innovative ways to achieve the best result drives his practice: “Every smile I help create or restore brings immense satisfaction, knowing I've made a positive impact.” He served as a teaching assistant for undergraduate endodontics and has volunteered with “Give Kids a Smile.”
Oxford High School, the University of Mississippi and Mississippi College, then a doctorate from Tufts College of Dental Medicine. He and his wife, Dr. Kathleen Lovelace Morrison, recently welcomed baby girl Martha Love.
The newest member of the Oxford Dental team, Dr. Lensing brings exceptional skill and a compassionate approach across the full range of dentistry — from routine check-ups and preventive care to complex restorative treatment. She's passionate about continuous learning and staying at the forefront of modern dentistry, so patients always receive care built on the latest advancements.
Undergraduate degree from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge and her doctorate from LSU School of Dentistry in New Orleans. Outside the office she enjoys running and traveling with her husband, Dr. Gabe Lensing, and their two children, James and Claire.
Every patient deserves a confident smile — and cost shouldn't be the thing that stops you getting care.
Oxford Dental's own membership plan is built around a simple idea: proper preventive care now helps minimize your chance of needing major dental work in the future — and poor oral health and gum disease are linked to diabetes, heart disease and stroke.
As a member, you receive top-quality dental care planned around your health — not procedures dictated by an insurance company. Ask our team how the plan works and whether it fits your family.
We offer flexible payment plans and financing options to make top-quality dental care accessible:

Severe toothache, a knocked-out tooth or an injury to your mouth needs prompt attention to prevent further complications. Call us and we'll do everything we can to help — fast.
Real reviews from Oxford Dental patients, shared publicly — the relationships and trust in these words are exactly what our team works for.
“I love Oxford Dental because of the relationships and trust I have with my dental hygienist Megan and Dr. Mercier. Their office is professional yet personal. They know me and my family by name and cater to our needs. Megan has been great with my young daughter, helping her build confidence and trust. I highly recommend Oxford Dental!”
“I had the opportunity to meet Laurie and Dr. Swaney for the first time today for a cleaning and check-up! By far the most AMAZING experience ever! Both were very personable, thorough, and educative! I vote 100/10! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”
“Recently changed dentist, and it was by far the best decision! Very affordable. Welcoming staff — Ms. Judy, both Shyanas and Lindsay were awesome! I recently started my ortho today, didn't take long! Safe to say I'll look forward to seeing them every month!”
“The staff was friendly and efficient. Dr. Swaney is a great dentist and the nicest person. He truly does everything possible to make your smile beautiful and to make you feel good about yourself. Anna Claire cleaned my teeth this week and I have never had someone take that much time and do such a wonderful job. You feel good while you are there and when you leave, because you know you are in good hands.”

Absolutely. Our membership plan is designed for patients without insurance — it focuses on preventive care and means your treatment is decided by you and your dentist, not an insurance company. We also offer flexible payment plans and financing through CareCredit, including 0% options.
Treatment times vary, but typically range from 6 to 18 months depending on your needs. At your consultation we'll evaluate your smile, customize a plan, and give you a realistic timeline before you commit to anything.
Don't panic. Go back to your previous set of trays to hold your progress, and call us — a replacement can set treatment back a week or two, but we can keep you on track. To avoid a repeat: always carry your aligner case, never wrap trays in a napkin (that's how they get thrown away!), and always save your previous set.
