Meet The Doctors
Dean McNeel, DDS
When Dr. Dean McNeel opened Ozark Prosthodontics in Fayetteville, Arkansas in 1995, his intention was to provide the absolute best dental care possible. In order to accomplish this, he began to attract the finest dental technicians and assistants in the industry and create a laboratory with the most innovative technology available.
Dr. McNeel’s philosophy is simple—in order to obtain high-quality dental results, you must have both exceptionally skilled doctors and an exceptional on-site dental laboratory.
“Without one portion of the equation, the results just simply aren’t as good as they could—and should—be,” says Dr. McNeel.
Dr. McNeel’s career in prosthodontics spans over three decades and includes work with children with congenital defects, medically compromised patients, and patients with high esthetic requirements, in addition to full-mouth reconstruction cases.
Beginning his higher education at Sam Houston University, he received his Bachelor of Science in Chemistry, Dr. McNeel then earned his Doctorate in Dental Surgery (D.D.S.) from the University of Texas Health Sciences Center in San Antonio before going on to graduate from Louisiana State University School of Dentistry with a Certificate in Prosthodontics. Dr. McNeel also completed a two-year general practice residency at Charity Hospital in New Orleans.
Today, Ozark Prosthodontics has evolved into a nationally recognized prosthodontics practice, which operates as a high-end clinic, full-service laboratory and nationally recognized training institution. Staffed with dental laboratory technicians selected by Dr. McNeel, the clinic and laboratory incorporate the latest scientific advancements in prosthodontics, which allows patients to have unparalleled treatment.
This full-service, on-site dental laboratory is exclusive to Dr. McNeel’s patients. The lab team works in concert with Dr. McNeel to ensure the highest quality restorations are created and delivered to patients.
In addition to his passion for his work, Dr. McNeel enjoys spending quality time with his family and friends. When not in the office, you can find him duck hunting, fishing, or enjoying the occasional fine wine. One of his more interesting out-of-office accomplishments is climbing Mount Hood in northern Oregon—one of the Top 10 Wonders of the West.
Brandon Bulloch, DDS, MS
For Dr. Brandon Bulloch, the call to dentistry began under the guidance of his father, Dr. Scott Bulloch at their family-owned oral surgery clinic located in St. George, Utah.
He spent his summers between high school and college assisting at the office, enjoying his interactions with patients and observing oral surgery procedures. Seeing how his father restored not only confidence to patients’ smiles but renewed their overall health inspired Dr. Bulloch to consider entering the dental field.
Over the next few years, Dr. Bulloch would become even more dedicated in his mission to provide excellent patient care through medical service trips to Haiti, where he would treat people with urgent dental conditions.
“The gratitude that these individuals expressed after having their dental pain reduced was a profound experience that helped kindle my passion for pursuing a career in dentistry,” said Dr. Bulloch.
Dr. Bulloch attended the University of Maryland Dental School in Baltimore, MD, where he decided to pursue a career as an oral surgeon. However, he would soon discover that his vocation was to be found in prosthodontics, with many of the patients he evaluated during his residency rounds displaying complex dental needs and health histories that required advanced care in the prosthodontics wing.
“I knew right away that I wanted training to treat these complex cases from start to finish,” says Dr. Bulloch. “Being able to see all the pieces and people come together to produce a successful outcome for the patient is very rewarding.”
Going on to complete a three-year surgical prosthodontics residency, Dr. Bulloch would graduate from Maryland University with his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree, a certificate in prosthodontics and a master’s degree in biomedical science. His academic accomplishments include researching new technology that would improve the longevity of dental restorations, earning him a Master of Sciences degree for his work, in addition to winning the Hanau Best Award for outstanding knowledge and study in prosthodontics.
In his free time, Dr. Bulloch enjoys biking and going to the gym, reading books on subjects like Quantum Physics, Rocket Science and World War Two, spending time with his wife Rhonnie and taking Nova, their Yorkshire Terrier, on walks together.
Robert Sutton, DDS, MS
Dr. Robert Sutton, originally from Little Rock, Arkansas, is excited to serve patients at Ozark Prosthodontics in Fayetteville. After completing his undergraduate studies at the University of Arkansas, Dr. Sutton went on to earn his dental degree from Texas A&M College of Dentistry. He then completed his prosthodontics residency at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill before returning home to the Natural State.
Dr. Sutton’s path into prosthodontics began well before dental school. During his early career, he worked alongside Dr. Dean McNeel as a lab technician at Ozark Prosthodontics, gaining firsthand experience in the precision and artistry behind restorative dentistry. That experience not only sparked his passion for the field but also makes his return to the practice especially meaningful.
“I’ve always been drawn to complex cases because they allow us to make a real difference in people’s lives. It’s more than just restoring a smile—it’s helping patients regain function, confidence, and a quality of life they may not have thought was possible.”
Now back in Arkansas and back in Razorback country, Dr. Sutton is proud to care for the community he calls home.
Outside the office, Dr. Sutton enjoys cheering on the Razorbacks, spending time outdoors, and embracing this exciting new chapter as he and his wife, Lisa, settle into life in Fayetteville.
