Dr. Bauer grew up in Oregon, attended Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire and dental school at Oregon Health Sciences University (OHSU, formerly University of Oregon Dental School) graduating in 1977. He started his dental practice as an associate with Dr. John Graham in Burns in 1977, building his own office at its current location in 1979.
Dr. Matt was blessed to grow up in Harney County. After completing his dental training and having spent some time abroad in college, he gratefully returned to the tranquility of the High Desert to join his father and mentor, Dr. Bauer at his Burns dentistry practice.
With a keen interest in helping replace missing teeth, Dr. Matt was able to focus his dental training on the technology and techniques to help patients with completely or partially missing teeth as well as all other general dentistry services. As a native of Harney County, the unique benefits of taking care of this community are ever present in the mind of this care provider who finds that calling on patients to find out how they are getting along does not usually require a phone call. A trip to the local hardware store, a meal at a local restaurant, an event for local youth, or even the county fair are great places to check on the smiles of the finest patients in the world.
Dr. Stan Kull grew up in Nebraska. He attended the University of Nebraska and dental school at University of Nebraska Dental College, graduating in 1979. Dr. Kull earned a Masters Degree in Periodontics at the University of Nebraska Dental College in 1984. He maintained a full time periodontal practice in Eugene, Oregon for 22 years. In 2007, Dr. Kull began practicing at Burns Dental Group.
Dr. Kull brings to Harney County his years of knowledge and experience offering complete periodontal care, diagnosis, and treatment of oral diseases, including gum disease, oral pathology, aesthetic plastic surgery, tissue and bone grafting, as well as placing dental implants since 1989. Dr. Kull is an invaluable asset, a skilled surgeon and diagnostician of oral disease.
Dr. Michelle Crabtree grew up on a ranch in rural Montana. She graduated from Montana State University with a Dental Hygiene degree and Cell Biology/Neuroscience degree. She spent seven years practicing as a dental hygienist prior to dental school.
Dr. Crabtree graduated from Oregon Health Sciences University (OHSU) Dental School in Portland, Oregon in 2017 as a National Health Service Corps Rural Scholar with a Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree. She has been trained with all the newest dental technologies and materials.
Dr. Crabtree and her husband, Josh, have two grown children and one granddaughter. They relocated to Burns in 2017 and are enjoying the rural lifestyle and all the outdoor activities Harney County has to offer.

It's been a long while since my last visit, my the technology in the office is great from doing ex-rays and explaining clearly what needs to be done and seeing pictures from the screen helped me see and made sense to me work that needs done. Friendly atmosphere all around. Dr. Matt is great explaining my needs. Front office very very friendly too.

Was behind on my cleaning and were helpful in getting me in as soon as possible. They are short staffed and made every effort to get me taken care of. Great experience at the dentist with Dr Crabtree

Dr Matt always takes care of me. I am a patient that is hard to numb and hates coming to the dentist. He takes his time, makes sure everything is explained and that I do not feel a thing. The crew is patient with me and let's me wear ear buds so I don't have to hear the drill. Lol.

This has been one of the best visits to a dentist of my entire life. Doctor Michelle Crabtree and her assistant were friendly and extremely informative. I loved that they did not dumb down the information but explained clearly the modern ways of dentistry. I can't wait until I get to go back and get the next part of my dental procedures done. This business is a little less than 2 hours away, and worth the entire trip! Thank you, Dr. Crabtree!

New to Burns, OR. I saw Matthew D. Bauer, DDS. Due to my cancer we were unable to do much. He gave me antibiotics. I was very thankful for that. I also appreciated how the Dr. sat with me and talked clearly about what I need in the future. He is a very kind man. Thank you.

So many experiences here that were griddy. One morning I was the first patient and everyone joked about not wanting to take the ohp patient. It made me ashamed. Another time I was asking about veneers out of curiosity about how one finances them. I was laughed at and told maybe if I won the lottery. It made me cry when I got home. Getting an appointment is stupid. Getting seen is never to impossible. I came to burns with beautiful teeth and left with an upper denture and 5 bottom teeth. I had 9 teeth removed at one and wasn't stitched at all. I got dry sockets and ended up in the er. My dr was shocked and upset. If you love yourself even a little go someplace else. This is only a small example of things I dealt with.

During this time of covid 19 they were very aware of keeping themselves and their patients safe and healthy. As always you feel like your not just a patient they are genuinely friends.
