Thanks to all at the Lenexa location for the care they have provided to my spouse and I. From the front desk to the direct care staff all have been positive and made our multiple dental appointments as easy as possible. The humor and concern for our comfort has been a great combination in managing our needs. Highly recommend Love to Smile

I have been to Love To Smile Dentistry in Lenexa, Kansas twice. I had a chipped tooth repaired. Britain Doolittle DDS was exceptional. She did a great job and the experience at a dentist office is usually traumatic. This experience was the opposite. It was great. She is very professional and knowledgeable. Thanks, Dr Doolittle for restoring my smile.

Worst dentist i have ever had. They left me in bad shape while pulling for over and hour and couldn't remove it but made a mess on it so I immediately went to a orthodontist who looked at it said looks like a mess. At least he had finished the job. Had to get stitches from last dentist. I would not recommend this place unless you like sever pain.

Dentist visits have always been depressing to me, years of alot of dental work and ton of money spent. I decided to try Love to Smile after a coworker told me about them. I am happy I made that trip, office is very clean, staff was funny and made me feel comfortable, doctor was upfront and made a treatment plan that works for my financial situation. Second appointment on the books and looking forward to it.

12/20: Emergency services provided by Dr. Blacknall and his team. I was immediately made to feel welcome and valued as a client when I arrived. Very friendly staff. Dr. Blacknall put my comfort at the forefront of the visit. He was very professional and thorough, and took the time to explain his actions. I greatly appreciate the patient care and respect provided to me by Dr. Blacknall and his team. Another awesome team in the Love to Smile network. Thank you.
