Since founding Burleson Orthodontics in 2006, over 3,000 orthodontists have traveled to Kansas City from 35 countries to learn from Dr. Dustin Burlesons vision to change lives, advance the profession of orthodontics, and support our communities. At last count, the Burleson Orthodontics & Pediatric Dentistry offices have over 30,000 satisfied patients, traveling from cities as far away as Chicago, New York, and San Francisco to be treated by one of our certified orthodontic specialists.
Dr. Burleson is the author of two Amazon best-selling consumer books, Stop Hiding Your Smile! and The Consumers Guide to Invisalign. As a two-time Inc. 500 | 5000 honoree recognized for building one of the fastest-growing orthodontic specialty practices in North America, he was also awarded the American Dental Associations prestigious Golden Apple Award in 2014 and the Missouri Dental Associations Outstanding Dental Leadership award in the same year.
Dr. Burleson writes five professional newsletters monthly, is the director of the Leo H. Rheam Foundation for Cleft & Craniofacial Orthodontics, teaches at both Childrens Mercy Hospital and the UMKC School of Dentistry, and operates a large multi-clinic orthodontic and pediatric dental practice in Kansas City, Missouri.
Dr. Burlesons practices have worked with the prestigious Disney Institute and Ritz Carlton to bring the same wow experience to the smiles of all our patients. Asked what makes his practice different, he quickly replied with a warm smile, Its our people, our culture, and our commitment to do whatever it takes to serve the best interests of our patients and their families, even if that means referring them to a cheaper option in town or to one of our nonprofit foundations when parents are unable to afford treatment at a Burleson facility.
