Since his graduation from dental school in 1980, Dr. Douglas Schulz has spent thousands of hours training in advanced dental techniques and procedures. He was one of the first dentists in the Kansas City area to offer the breakthrough CEREC 3D technology, a tooth restoration system that allows a dentist to provide permanent, all ceramic crowns in a single office visit. Dr. Schulz is so proficient in the use of this technology that he routinely trains other dentists in the technique.
A true humanitarian, Dr. Schulz has contributed his dental skills to the Pacific Partnership, a charitable mission with the U.S. Navy to bring medical and dental care to those in need across the entire Pacific region. He was the first to bring CEREC technology to Vietnam.
A graduate of the University of Iowa College of Dentistry, Dr. Douglas Schulz has been providing hi-tech general and cosmetic dentistry to the Kansas City area since 1982. Hes fulfilled a lifelong goal by building a traditional dental practice built on personal relationships, one where he can focus on quality and not quantity, and one where he can deliver cutting edge technology.
Douglas Schulz was raised in a small town in Northwest Iowa by parents who taught him he could achieve any goal to which set his mind. At age 5, Douglas decided that he wanted to be a dentist because he really liked his own dentist, an overall neat guy who loved to hunt and fish and had great dogs.
After graduating from dental school in 1980, Dr. Schulz taught part-time in the Universitys dental program, while he researched where he wanted to start his dental practice. Kansas City, with its metropolitan, cosmopolitan, small town feel, won.
In 1982, Dr. Schulz purchased his current practice from Dr. Hall, the dentist who also introduced him to the L.D. Pankey Institute in Miami. The Pankey Institute is known for its comprehensive dental education which narrows the gap between what is scientifically and clinically known and what is actively practiced. The curriculum emphasizes quality care and restorative dentistry, and the Institute enjoys a respected reputation nationally and internationally. Dr. Schulz continues pursuing the best in post-graduate dental education and has spent thousands of hours advancing his knowledge in order to deliver the best dental care possible.
Dr. Schulz delights in having pediatric and octogenarian patients, and treating generations within a family. Building on the initial rapport established in 1982 and the quality of care that Dr. Schulz provides to his patients, many of Dr. Halls patients remain with him today. Its important to Dr. Schulz that when he sees any patient outside his office, he knows them by name. He understands by building good relationships with his patients, he earns their trust; and that trust translates into more relaxed patients who maintain good dental care and are not afraid to visit the dentist.
Dr. Schulz was one of the first dentists in the Kansas City area to offer the breakthrough CEREC 3D technology, a tooth restoration system that allows a dentist to provide permanent, all ceramic crowns, veneers and other tooth restorations in one office visit. This means fewer injections, less drilling, and less time; coupled with natural strength, beauty, and function.
Dr. Schulz was on board for 3 weeks of its 168 day mission the longest he had ever been away from his practice, and, as he puts it, the most rewarding experience of his dental career. He spent 13 days in Vietnam, doing preliminary exams and treatments off the ship, and then returning to the ship to use the technologies that they brought with them.
In 2009, Dr. Schulz participated in another humanitarian mission with the Navy, the USNS Comfort Continuing Promise 2009. On this mission he traveled to Central and South America, again bringing hi-tech dental care to those who couldnt afford even basic services.

My experience at Corporate Lakes Dental has been outstanding. I don't typically enjoy a dentist visit, I usually feel everything from embarrassment about my teeth not being perfect, fear of pain, anxious about finances. The past year I've been working on a past injury that left me with some broken teeth and I'm so happy I chose Corporate Lakes Dental. Not once have I get embarrassed, I just see the plan to fix my teeth. Dr. Douglas Schulz Is consistently great at properly numbing the area, that even the needle to numb the area doesn't hurt. And they always share all the options for payment. I have moved to St Louis this year and I have one more appointment left to be done with this reconstruction, but I'll probably continue to make special trips for routine dental appointments all the way back in Overland Park.

Dr. Schultz did an amazing job with my tooth! He is really a great guy! I even got to sit in a massage chair while waiting for my tooth. It was by far the best dental appointment I've ever had! Liz at the front desk was very helpful and knows what she's doing!

Dr Schulz and hygienist Bailey were super friendly, helpful, took all the time we needed, very thorough in both examining and explaining, and gentle! We were very happy with their practice, the atmosphere, and the level of expertise. Dr Schulz is concerned with the whole body and how the condition of the mouth, tongue, jaw affect and are affected by the rest of the body (especially re: breathing, sleeping, and even posture). He is very knowledgeable in all these areas and has decades of experience, keeping up with the latest in the field. Two big thumbs up!

Read all of this. Step one complete for implants. So far the process has been awesome. The staff is knowledgeable and always pleasant. Dr. Schultz is very thorough and keeps you informed perfectly throughout the process. For me it was painless. I have temporary teeth during the healing process. More to come after healed and permanent teeth are placed but I have no doubt that I will be pleased. Everyone did what ever it took to make me comfortable. Implants complete and they are worth every penny. He is a perfectionist.

The people at Corporate Lakes Dental are fantastic! I broke a cap and they did a fantastic job making a new one and matching the shade of my tooth! Didn't take long and I enjoyed the massage chair while I waited! Great job!

Dr. Schulz is impressively honest, seasoned, and well educated. Moreover his price points are better than most. How good is Dr. Douglas Schulz? Doctors travel from all over the US to attend his classes for continuing education. That's how good and respected he is.

A friend of mine knew I had so much anxiety going to the dentist and highly recommended this dentist. He was absolutely correct! This was the best experience I've ever had. The receptionist was very kind, informative and a great joy all the way around. The hygienist was gentle and kind. The dentist was undeniably amazing. The office is absolutely beautiful. I highly recommend this team. I will be sending many referrals. Appreciated each and everyone there!
