Get To Know Dr. Little

Outside of Work

I’m Dr. Taylor Little, and I’m excited to be the newest addition to the Hentscher-Johnson Family!

At a height of 5’3, my stature and last name may seem small, but don’t let that fool you- I’m ready to make a big impact on my hometown community.

I believe every smile tells a unique story, and I’m on a mission to transform those stories into ones brimming with confidence and joy.

I’m originally from the St. Louis area and have been in Missouri most of my life, except for leaving for college at Murray State in Kentucky.

Married to my college sweetheart, Jon, our cozy family includes an adorable corgi and a snuggly cat. We’re passionate sports fans, cheering on the St. Louis Cards, blues, and City Teams.

While I thoroughly enjoy spending time with our patients, you’ll often find me exploring nature through hikes, cycling, visiting local coffee shops, or diving into the pages of a new book at the library.

I’m committed to offering orthodontic care “taylor-ed” just for you! If you have any questions, want to discuss your smile goals, or share a dental-related joke (my favorite kind), feel free to reach out.

I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to be part of your family’s smile transformations.

Here’s to big smiles and a “little” more joy,
Dr. Taylor Little

That’s why you would go to any orthodontist — to improve your smile. What makes us different is this: We make it our mission to exceed your expectations in every aspect of treatment from financing, to your everyday experience, to the smile on your face when you leave your very last appointment.
