Welcome to Ozark Dental Center's website. Many new and exciting things are happening with our team of dental professionals. Allow me to tell you a little about myself and the evolution of our dental practice.

I am a native Southern Missourian born to parents who were educators in serveral communities in the Ozarks. I received undergraduate training at Southwest Missouri State-now Missouri State University and completed my doctorate at the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Dentistry in 1975. I then practiced dentistry in Salem and Viburnum, Missouri until the present.

Our team and I have continually sought state of the art education in our quest to deliver the finest dental services to our patients here in the Ozarks. We deliver a broad based array of dentistry including tooth colored restorative procedures, advanced laser assisted dentistry, advanced cosmetic smile makeovers, advanced endodontic (root canal) procedures, dental implants restoring single and multiple teeth as well as the patient with no teeth at all. We also offer state of the art dental imaging and a state of the art dental hygiene program designed to maintain and restore gum health to our patients. Children's dentistry and removabledentures and partial dentures are also offered.

Hello, My name is Paula Stice. I am glad you are choosing to check out the team at Ozark Dental Center. I have been part of this Dental Hygiene team since 2009. It has been a blessing to work in the dental field for over 35 years. I started out working as a dental assistant in high school and then completed my Dental Hygiene degree in 1988 at Missouri Southern State College, where I graduated at the top of my class. Since graduating Dental Hygiene school, I have continued my education by obtaining certifications in dental anesthesia, advanced periodontal(gum) treatment therapies, and certifications in two types of lasers used to treat periodontal disease. It is a joy to assist my patients achieve healthy and beautiful smiles. I strive to work with each patient to develop an individualized treatment plan that fits their personal desires and lifestyles. It is my desire to treat each patient as if they are my own family. And we have fun celebrating when goals are reached.

A little personal background-I grew up and still live in the Steelville, Missouri area. My husband of 33 years, Scott, and I have three daughters-two of which are married. We LOVE spending time with our two beautiful granddaughters. I enjoy gardening, teaching children's classes at church, raising chickens, and cooking for our family and friends.
