Bruce Kaufman, DDS

Just south of the Battlefield Mall area, along Kentwood Avenue, Bruce Kaufman, DDS practices general dentistry in a quiet stretch of Springfield. The office sits at 1864 S Kentwood Ave, a few blocks from the hum of Glenstone Avenue but far enough to avoid the traffic. Google’s current tally shows a 4.9 rating from 8 reviews, which for a dentist’s office suggests either remarkably smooth visits or a knack for putting people at ease—no small feat in this line of work. Dentistry isn’t exactly the kind of service people rave about unless it’s notably painless, and while no one’s detailing their root canal experience in the reviews, the numbers don’t lie.

Booking a cleaning or consultation means a call to (417) 883-1597, where the focus stays on standard care like exams, fillings, and crowns—nothing flashy, just the fundamentals. Springfield’s dental options run the gamut, but this one keeps it simple, without the frills of spa-like add-ons or membership pitches. For first-timers, the map pin drops you right at the door, no guesswork required. Around here, a dentist who doesn’t overpromise is almost a novelty.
