Dr. Grant Kirk
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. Kirk enrolled in Northwest Missouri State University where he earned his Bachelor’s degree in Biology with a minor in Biochemistry graduating Suma Cum Lauda. He then went on to attend the University Of Missouri Kansas City School Of Dentistry where he graduated Suma Cum Lauda.
Dr. Kirk and his family moved to Joplin in 2015 to work at Access Family Care where he provided high quality dental care to the underserved of Joplin. Shortly after moving to Joplin he and his wife fell in love with town and knew that they wanted to make Carthage their permanent home.
Dr. Kirk and his wife Lauren were married in 2012 and have three very active boys Jackson, Chase, & Aiden. They are excited to welcome a daughter into the family late 2019. Dr. Kirk is active at his Church (Hope City) and enjoys sports, music, exercise, and spends his free time with his family.
