Dr. Jacob McLauchlin, DDS

Dr. Jacob McLauchlin, DDS, proudly serves the Ozarks with a commitment rooted in the same community where he was born and raised. A graduate of Nixa High School, Dr. McLauchlin earned his undergraduate degree at Drury University and went on to receive his Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Dentistry, where he graduated with honors. During his time at UMKC, he helped lead and shape the dental community through service and leadership.

In addition to providing comprehensive dental care for more than decade, Dr. McLauchlin has pursued advanced training in sleep apnea treatment to better serve patients suffering from sleep-disordered breathing. He is a member of the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine (AADSM) and has undergone specialized training in the treatment of snoring, upper airway resistance syndrome (UARS), and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) through non-invasive oral appliance therapy. His goal is to help patients achieve better sleep, improved energy levels, and overall well-being by addressing the often-overlooked dental connection to sleep health.

At Snooze, Dr. McLauchlin combines modern technology with compassionate patient focused care. Alongside his wife and high school sweetheart, Janae, the McLauchlins have built more than a sleep health practice—they’ve built a mission to serve. Janae plays a vital role in the practice’s operations, and together they bring a personal touch that extends beyond dentistry. They live in Nixa with their four children—Mac, Miller, Boone, and Bayler—and are actively involved in their local Church and the broader Ozarks community.

Whether he’s cheering on his kids at local sports events, serving at church, or enjoying a round of golf, Dr. McLauchlin embraces life with enthusiasm and heart. He and Janae are passionate about investing in their team, their patients, and their community. With a focus on helping patients sleep better and feel better through a deep commitment to treating sleep apnea, Dr. McLauchlin is proud to provide personalized sleep health care for individuals across southwest Missouri.
