Dr. Roth grew up in the small historic town of Ste. Genevieve, Missouri. The pace was slow and the community small. The town cared for each other and looked out for each other. He worked hard in school, wrestled his way to State, and always held down 2-3 jobs at a time. He learned that the path to achieving more was working harder. He was the first in his family to graduate from college in 1996 with a degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Missouri Columbia.
After three years as a Mechanical Engineer designing cooling towers and creating innovative land fill design, Dr. Roth realized he missed meaningful interaction with people. He had always dreamed of a career as a dentist and decided to pursue the dream. He was accepted to the University of Missouri Kansas City School of Dentistry in the fall of 1999.
As a 2003 Graduate of the UMKC School of Dentistry, Dr. Roth decided to combine his knowledge of Mechanical Engineering and his passion for dentistry to pursue a career as an Orthodontist. The mechanics of using brackets and wires to move teeth into an aesthetic and functional smile was a natural transition. Dr. Roth started his post graduate work as an Orthodontic Specialist in 2005.
After 8 years of practicing exclusively Orthodontics, Dr. Roth became aware that Kansas City was under served in the area of Pediatric Dentistry. His orthodontic patients had limited choices of providers and often had long wait times or difficulty scheduling. When he saw these delays and their effect on treatment, he made the decision to return to school one last time.
In 2015 Dr. Roth completed a specialty in Pediatric Dentistry at Childrens Hospital of Colorado Denver. He now offers all of the quality and convenience that families need and want from a dental practice. Dr. Roths character is defined by hard work and by a passion to provide kids with a great start to oral health. His qualifications exceed what is required, and his experience ensures an unmatched level of care. Youve found the best pediatric dentist Overland Park and Kansas City has to offer.
We view orthodontics as an art. Each smile is unique and requires personal attention as well as a personal treatment approach. We want you to have the beautiful smile that you have dreamed of as well as achieving a functional and healthy alignment of all your teeth. Proper alignment of your bite will increase the longevity of your teeth by decreasing improper wear and tear. Proper alignment can also prevent headaches and jaw pain later in life.
Affordability is important to us. We are proud to be a specialty practice serving the Kansas City area. We offer quality and convenient pediatric dental & orthodontic treatment that saves you time and money going to multiple providers.
Seeing an Orthodontic Specialist for recommendations and treatment is an important part of growing up. Correcting alignment of teeth and the way that a childs teeth come together can affect their dental health all through life. At Starting Point Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics we recognize that putting multiple children through braces can have an impact on family finances. We are here to help you fit the cost of treatment into your personal budget. We will verify benefits and submit treatment to your insurance on your behalf.
CareCredit is a healthcare credit card that helps you pay for treatments and procedures for you or your family that may not be covered by insurance. With special financing options* You can use your CareCredit card again and again for your dental needs, as well as at 195,000 other healthcare providers, including dentists, optometrists, veterinarians, ophthalmologists and hearing specialists.

First time for my kids to go to the dentist, ages 2 and 3. After reading the reviews and checking out the websites of many places, this place came highly recommended. We had a great experience here for their first appointment. The atmosphere was relaxing. The staff and the doctor were very friendly and made the kids feel comfortable being there. I would recommended this place to anyone.

Four of my family members have used Dr. Roth for Orthodontics. His service is excellent and we are all happy with our results. We have known him now for probably 14 years and we trust him and appreciate him.

I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Roth and his team. From the moment we walked in they were kind and accommodating to our needs. My 3 year was weary but in no time he was in the chair ready to get his teeth cleaned. My kiddos already want to come back for a teeth cleaning!
