The hygienists are wonderful and doctors are so sweet and knowledgeable. I have had procedures done by both Dr. Patel and Dr. Pederson and was super impressed with their level of care. I always dread going to the dentist but they make the experience as painless as possible.

Hands down the best dental team in Kansas City. Just had a crown put on today and Dr Pederson and Sarah couldn't have been any better or more pleasant making my anxiety level zero. The office gals are the best and Larissa is the nicest and best dental hygienist you could ever ask for. What a great group of really nice people who really take care of the patient. Thanks.

This place is AMAZING!!! The staff is super friendly and the care you receive is out of this world. I've had trouble with other dentists in the past but this place really surpassed my expectations. I've gotten 3 fillings from them and have had no pain or sensitivity afterwards like I did with past dentist offices. If you're looking for a new dentist please consider giving this place a try because I promise you won't regret it.
