Dr. Randi Green of Springfield Smile Doctor Named a 2026 Castle Connolly Top Dentist
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Peer-nominated honor recognizes the top 10 percent of dentists in the United States. Selection cannot be purchased; it is earned through nomination by fellow doctors and an independent research review.
SPRINGFIELD, MISSOURI - Springfield Smile Doctor is proud to announce that Dr. Randi Green has been named a 2026 Castle Connolly Top Dentist, a distinction reserved for the top 10 percent of dentists in the United States.
Unlike many dental awards, the Castle Connolly designation cannot be bought, sponsored, or self-nominated. Peers first nominate every Top Dentist, then the Castle Connolly research team vets them, evaluating professional qualifications, education, hospital and faculty appointments, professional reputation, disciplinary history, interpersonal skills, and, where available, outcomes data. Only after passing that independent review is a doctor added to the list.
"Patients have no easy way to know who to trust, and I understand why. So many awards in dentistry can be purchased. This one can't," said Dr. Green. "When your work is changing how someone looks and feels every time they smile, trust is everything. Being recognized by my peers tells me that work is being noticed beyond our own walls."
Dr. Green has led Springfield Smile Doctor since June 2011, growing it into a boutique, fee-for-service practice known for cosmetic dentistry, including no-prep veneers, smile makeovers, full mouth rehabilitation, and Invisalign. Her clinical philosophy, Breathing and Beauty, means that every cosmetic result is built on real health, with airway and sleep appliance therapy supporting the smile rather than being an afterthought.
Castle Connolly, one of the most trusted names in healthcare provider research, has published its Top Doctors lists for more than three decades. Its underlying premise is that consumers should know where a doctor would go if they needed care, so they can have the same confidence when choosing their own provider. Research conducted by Castle Connolly in conjunction with Everyday Health found that the overwhelming majority of consumers consider a doctor important in their lives, eclipsing services like accountants, lawyers, and even childcare, yet more than half report that they do not know how to evaluate a doctor's qualifications.
The 2026 recognition arrives during a milestone year for the practice, which is celebrating fifteen years under Dr. Green's leadership.
