Trusted Dental Experts
Dr. Grant Kirk, DDS
Dr. Kirk loves every aspect of dentistry. From the simplest filling to the most complex case, he firmly believes in giving every patient the best care possible.
Dr. Kirk grew up in Grain Valley Missouri where he learned at a young age that hard work is the only way to achieve your goals. He always knew that he wanted to work in a profession that helped people in the community. After a trip to the dentist as a child with a broken tooth, he learned first-hand the confidence a great smile can bring to a person. This experience showed him that he wanted to be able to give people that same confidence and decided to pursue a career in Dentistry.

Dr. Conner Paustian
Dr. Paustian has a commitment to accomplishing the optimum results for every person. He recognizes that every person and situation is different and that everyone deserves the attention to detail needed to allow their mouth to be healthy, beautiful, and pain free, with long lasting success.
He has always loved to work with his hands, fixing things, and loves drawing, painting, and sculpting. He discovered a calling to dentistry during his undergraduate studies at Pittsburg State University where he studied biology, chemistry and physics when he traveled to South America, traveling to different villages and providing care to those in need. There was a “lightbulb moment” seeing things go from broken and infected to healthy, functional and esthetic. It combined his love of science with art and filled his need to help people.
