Belton families are some of our favorite people to see, and many of them tell us they would rather run a few minutes down I-49 than fight the traffic heading north into the city. We love that so many are busy parents juggling school pickups and work schedules, so we work hard to keep appointments running on time and easy to plan around. There is a genuine small town, look out for your neighbor feel that runs from Belton down through Cass County, and it is a big part of why our team enjoys serving this community.
Our Peculiar office, where we welcome Belton families.
We are about 9 miles south of Belton, a straight shot down I-49 that takes most of our Belton patients around 12 minutes. You will find us right in downtown Peculiar on North Main Street.
We do, and we welcome them gladly. Belton is one of the closest communities to our Peculiar office, and we see families, kids, and adults from all over the north end of Cass County.
Single implants, implant bridges, All-on-4 full-arch restorations, and implant-supported dentures, planned, placed, and restored in one office. 3D-guided surgery, sedation options, and financing built for real budgets.
⭐ 500+ five-star reviews · MAGD Master of the Academy of General Dentistry · Diamond+ Invisalign Provider
Most implant cases bounce between an oral surgeon, a periodontist, and a separate restorative dentist, each charging separately, scheduling separately. We plan, place, and restore implants in-house, so your timeline is shorter, records stay together, and your care team already knows your case.
3D-planned, predictably placed
We use 3D cone-beam scans to plan every implant position before surgery, accounting for bone density, nerve location, and the final crown shape. Result: shorter surgery, faster healing, crowns that fit the first time.
I avoided the dentist for almost eight years. Dr. Pedersen and her team made me feel completely safe, no judgment, no lecture, just a real plan I could afford. Two years in and I never miss a cleaning., Sarah M.
Every service in the same office, with the same team that already knows your story.

Patient stories
Hundreds of 5-star reviews from real Belton, Johnson County, and Cass County families.
“I avoided the dentist for almost eight years. Dr. Pedersen and her team made me feel completely safe, no judgment, no lecture, just a real plan I could afford. Two years in and I never miss a cleaning.”
“We have four kids ranging from 6 to 17. Having one dental office that handles all of them, including my teenager’s Invisalign, has saved us so many hours of driving.”
“I’d been searching for a ‘natural dentist’ in Belton for two years. Finally found one that doesn’t make me feel weird for asking about my fillings.”
“Walked in convinced I needed a root canal. They diagnosed a cracked filling and fixed it the same day for a fraction of what I’d been quoted. Honest, fast, painless.”

“Cracked a molar on a Tuesday morning. Called at 8am, was in the chair by 11 with a same-day temporary crown. They saved my workweek.”
“I’d been hiding my smile for a decade. Now I forget I have implants until someone compliments my teeth.”
“Quoted four veneers somewhere else. Dr. Pedersen showed me a digital preview and we ended up doing bonding on two teeth and whitening, same result, a fraction of the cost.”
“The Smile Club paid for itself in the first six months. As a freelancer with no insurance, this is the only reason I actually get my teeth cleaned twice a year now.”

“Dr. Pedersen finished my Invisalign in eleven months. My old dentist (Bronze tier) had quoted twenty. Experience really does matter.”
“Having a Diamond+ Invisalign Provider this close to home meant my daughter didn’t have to miss school for every check-in. They explained everything to her like she was the patient, not me.”
“My six-year-old now asks when we get to go back to the dentist. That has never happened in any office before. The team is something else.”
“My implant looks better than the tooth it replaced. Every step explained, every cost in writing up front, zero surprises on the bill.”

A single dental implant typically costs $3,500–$6,000 all-in. Full-arch implant restorations (All-on-4) range $20,000–$30,000 per arch.
For most patients with healthy jawbone, yes: implants last 25+ years, preserve jawbone, don’t slip, and don’t need adhesive. Over 20 years, implants often cost less and feel dramatically better.
Typically 3–6 months: placement, 3–4 months of bone integration, then crown placement. Same-day temporary crowns often available.
Most healthy adults with adequate jawbone qualify. Even patients with bone loss can usually qualify after bone grafting. A free 3D consultation will tell you definitively.
Implant placement is typically less painful than a tooth extraction. Local anesthesia plus optional sedation makes the procedure calm. Most patients report minor soreness for 2–3 days.
Yes, one of our most-requested treatments. We plan, place, and restore All-on-4 in-house.
Most PPO plans cover a portion, typically the crown component. Annual maximums often spread treatment across two calendar years to maximize benefits.
