Meet Dr. Daniel Bruin

Dr. Daniel Bruin is a board-certified periodontist and implant specialist committed to delivering advanced periodontal and implant care with a personalized, relationship-based approach. As the founder of Rolla Periodontics and Implant Center, he is proud to serve patients throughout Rolla and the surrounding communities with a high standard of specialty care in a welcoming, hometown environment.

Dr. Bruin's interest in dentistry began with his appreciation for the profession's unique blend of science, technology, and precision. Throughout his training, he learned from exceptional mentors, many of them periodontists, whose expertise in preserving oral health and restoring function inspired him to pursue specialty training in periodontics and implant dentistry.

He earned his Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences from Florida Atlantic University before graduating with honors from Nova Southeastern University College of Dental Medicine. Following service as a general dentist, he completed the United States Army Advanced Education Program in Periodontics, earning both a Certificate in Periodontics and a Master of Science in Oral Biology. He later achieved board certification through the American Board of Periodontology, a distinction earned by a select group of specialists who demonstrate advanced knowledge, clinical expertise, and a commitment to lifelong learning. His research has been published in peer-reviewed journals, and he has lectured on a variety of periodontal, implant, and regenerative topics.

A Philosophy Built on Trust

Dr. Bruin's treatment philosophy is simple. Educate first, build trust, and create a personalized plan together. He views his role as a guide and partner in your decision making process, helping you understand your options so you can choose the treatment path that best fits your goals, values, and lifestyle. Every patient deserves a thorough understanding of their condition and what their choices really mean, and that starts with an office where questions are always welcome.

Why Rolla

Although his career has taken him across the country, Rolla became home for Dr. Bruin during his years serving patients at nearby Fort Leonard Wood. He recognized how much the region needed accessible specialty periodontal care, and opening a practice in Rolla allowed him to combine his periodontal training with his commitment to serving this community.
