The largest city in the state of Missouri, Kansas City is a thriving metropolitan area situated at the intersection of the Kansas and Missouri rivers. It was founded back in the 1830s as a river port city and originally simply called Kansas, after the river. The epithet of 'City' was added after the establishment of Kansas Territory to distinguish the two. With a population of over 450,000, we love working in this city as it allows us to give a wide variety of people the gift of a gorgeous smile - and that 's what we truly love about our work.
