What we love about treating Leawood patients

Our Leawood families are some of the most loyal patients we see, often bringing the kids, the grandparents, and eventually the college students home on break all to the same chairs. We know how full a Leawood weekday can get between school pickups, work near the Plaza or College Boulevard corridor, and everything in between, so we protect your time and keep visits on schedule. It means a lot to us that so many neighbors near Town Center and the Ironwoods trust us with something as personal as their smile, and we do not take that for granted.

No referrals, no handoffs, no coordination tax

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

Digital implant planning means fewer surprises

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.

Patient stories

What our patients actually say

Hundreds of 5-star reviews from real Leawood, 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 Leawood 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.”

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.
