What a Walk-In Visit at Love To Smile Actually Looks Like
A walk-in dentist means you do not need an appointment booked days or weeks out to get real care. We hold open slots first thing every weekday morning specifically for same-day and walk-in patients, so the earlier in the day you reach us, the better your chances of being seen within hours. When you arrive, we get you checked in quickly, take any images we need to understand what is going on, and put you in front of Dr. Pedersen or one of our providers rather than sending you home with a future appointment card.
Calling ahead is always the fastest path. A quick call to 913-491-1200 lets our front desk tell you the best time to come in that day, have your paperwork ready, and prepare the room before you even walk through the door. If you would rather not call, you can request a same-day slot through our online booking and we will confirm the soonest opening.
Who Walk-In Dental Care Is For
Plenty of people who search for a walk-in dentist are in real discomfort: a throbbing toothache that kept them up all night, a tooth that cracked on something hard, a crown or filling that fell out, or a sports injury. We treat all of these promptly and our first priority is always getting you out of pain before we talk about anything else.
But walk-in care is not only for emergencies. We also see patients who are new to Overland Park and have not found a dentist yet, families juggling busy schedules who finally have a free morning, and people who have put off the dentist for years and are ready to just get started. There is no judgment here and no lecture. Whatever brought you in, our team meets you where you are and builds a plan you can actually follow.

Book Your ConsultHow Love To Smile Handles Same-Day and Walk-In Patients
Because we are a full-service family, cosmetic, and implant practice, most of what you need can be handled in one place by one team that already knows your story. That means a same-day visit can go beyond a quick look. We can often diagnose and treat the cause in the same appointment, whether that is repairing a broken tooth, replacing a lost filling, managing an infection, or starting a longer-term plan.
Every walk-in visit starts with comfort. We make sure you are numb and at ease, offer options to calm nerves, and clearly explain what is happening before any work begins. Consultations are always free, and we walk you through any recommended treatment and your payment options up front so there are no surprises. Our team serves families across Overland Park, Johnson County, and the greater Kansas City area, and we also have a second office in Peculiar, Missouri for patients on that side of the metro.
Why Choose Love To Smile as Your Walk-In Dentist in Overland Park
Being seen quickly matters, but so does who is doing the treating. Dr. Pedersen holds the MAGD credential, one of the most demanding designations in general dentistry, and our practice has earned hundreds of five-star reviews from real Overland Park and Johnson County families. When you come in as a walk-in, you get that same standard of care, not a rushed patch job.
We are also easy to reach and easy to work with. Our Overland Park office at 10925 Antioch Road is convenient to reach from across the metro, you can book online or by phone, and free consultations mean it costs nothing to find out what is going on. If you need a dentist today, call 913-491-1200 as early as possible and let our team take care of the rest.
Common questions about Walk-In Dentist

Want a straight answer about your teeth?
Talk to Our TeamYes. We hold open appointment slots every weekday morning for same-day and walk-in patients. Call 913-491-1200 as early in the day as you can, and we will do our best to see you within hours. Calling ahead, even by a few minutes, is always faster than simply showing up because it lets us prepare a room and your paperwork before you arrive.
Do I need an appointment, or can I just walk in?
You are welcome to walk in, but a quick call ahead is the fastest way to be seen. When you call 913-491-1200 first, our front desk can point you to the best open time that day, get your forms started, and have everything ready when you get here. That usually means far less waiting once you arrive.
What kinds of problems can a walk-in visit handle?
We handle toothaches, broken or cracked teeth, lost crowns or fillings, dental infections, sports injuries, and knocked-out teeth, as well as non-urgent visits like getting established as a new patient or restarting care after time away. Because we are a full-service practice, we can often diagnose and treat the cause in the same visit rather than sending you elsewhere.
How much does a walk-in or same-day visit cost?
Consultations at Love To Smile are always free, so it costs nothing to come in and find out what is going on. If you need treatment, we explain the recommended plan and your payment options clearly before any work begins, so you always know what to expect ahead of time.
