Everything in one office
From your child’s first visit to your full-arch implant
Most Mission families coordinate between three or four providers, a kids’ dentist, an orthodontist, an oral surgeon, a prosthodontist. At Love To Smile, every service happens under one roof, planned by one team. Fewer drives, fewer records to chase, one continuous story.
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 Mission, 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 Mission 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.”
