Welcome to Airpark
A dental team with roots in this community.
At Airpark Family Dentistry we are dedicated to your smile and oral health. We understand the importance of using a dental team with roots in the community — because your neighbors should be the ones caring for you.
Built from the ground up with many prayers, love and determination, Airpark Family Dentistry was established in December of 2019. Dr. John Anthony Steele II, who has owned and operated Steele Family Dental since 2011, partnered with Dr. Anna Clare Saxon to open a practice designed around comfort: eight operatories, natural light, and treatment rooms that look out over the pond.

M. RogersPhiladelphia, MS
★★★★★
“My kids actually ask when their next cleaning is. The office is beautiful, the view of the pond is calming, and nobody rushes you.”
K. BellNeshoba County

“I had put off a root canal for two years because I was scared. They got me in, took their time, and it was nothing like I feared. I wish I'd come sooner.”
