About Ozark Mountain Periodontics

Based in Springfield, Missouri, Ozark Mountain Periodontics (formerly Brad R. Burks, D.M.D., P.C.) is your go-to periodontal dental practice. Our periodontal care services are provided by Dr. Brad Burks and Dr. Matt Bryant, both board certified periodontists. We offer many services ranging from teeth cleaning to periodontal surgery. Generally, patients are referred to us by their general dentist, but that is not a requirement. Our specialty treatments are available to anyone who wishes to be seen.
