About the practice

A practice limited to gums and the bone around teeth

Ozark Periodontics is a small office on National Avenue. It exists to work alongside general dentists, not to replace them.

Dr. Etta Wade opened the practice so that a patient with gum trouble would have one place to go, and their own dentist would always know what was found. A few chairs, a small team and time for questions: each visit starts with measuring and ends with a plan on paper.
