Emergencies are triaged first thing every morning
If you’re in pain, call 913-491-1200 as early as possible. Our team holds emergency slots open every weekday morning specifically for urgent care. The earlier you call, the higher the chance we can see you within hours.
We will not let you leave still in pain
Step one of every emergency visit is getting you comfortable. Local anesthetic, nitrous oxide if you want it, a clear plan for what’s causing the pain. Step two is the long-term fix — quoted transparently before any non-emergency work.
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.

Time is the most important factor
If a permanent tooth has been knocked out, handle it by the crown (not the root), rinse briefly with milk or saline, and try to re-insert it. If that’s not possible, store it in milk and call us immediately — the first 30–60 minutes matter most.
What our patients actually say
Hundreds of 5-star reviews from real Overland Park, 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 Overland Park 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.”

Frequently asked questions
Is there an emergency dentist in Overland Park open today?
Yes — Love To Smile reserves same-day emergency appointments every weekday morning. Call 913-491-1200 as early as possible.
What counts as a dental emergency?
Severe tooth pain, swelling, a knocked-out or broken tooth, a lost crown or filling, abscesses, uncontrolled bleeding, and trauma.
What should I do if I knock out a tooth?
Handle the tooth by the crown (not the root), gently rinse with milk or saline, and try to re-insert it. Otherwise store it in milk and call us immediately.
How much does emergency dental care cost in Overland Park?
An emergency exam and X-ray typically costs $150–$250 — often covered by PPO insurance. Treatment cost depends on need.
Can I go to the ER for a dental emergency?
ERs can manage severe swelling and pain medication but cannot perform dental treatment — call our office first.
Do you accept emergency walk-ins?
We prefer a phone call first so we can prepare for you — but in true emergencies we’ll always see you.
What if my emergency happens at night or on the weekend?
Call our main line — voicemail will direct you to after-hours contact for true emergencies.
