The staff at Dr. Petersen is the best. I never have to wait when I come in, and the procedures are always thorough but fast. They’re a pretty busy place, but they keep things moving, which is nice. I’ve been a patient here since they opened, and I’ve always had an enjoyable experience. I’ve recommended them to all my friends, they’re the best dental office in Leawood, Kansas. A lot of my friends love this place too. The entire staff is kind and really cares about their patients. I’ve had cleanings, new caps, new white fillings, and root canals done here, and everything has always looked great. Thank you, Dr. Petersen.

Oral health declines when we lose natural teeth. Obviously, there are problems with eating a variety of meals. Even talking clearly could be a problem. However, the major problem is the loss of structure in the jaw. This weakens the jaw, and could even cause a prematurely aged appearance. More importantly, this limits dental implant placement. Additional treatments could be necessary to strengthen the jaw in order to prepare the gum for dental implants! Fortunately, Doctors Network could link you to a good Kansas City oral surgeon who is in-network with individual dental insurance plans and provides this care. In addition, we could also discuss our membership plan to make dental care affordable!


Bone grafting is also known as ridge augmentation. Essentially this enables the dentist to restore the lost structure in your mandible. Your dentist could employ new tissue from multiple sources. We could take tissue from the back of the jaw or the hip. Donor materials like bovine bone could be employed as well. We could also recommend synthetic materials. Through oral surgery, these are applied to the areas of weakened structure in the mandible.


Once the area heals, one or more dental implants could be placed. The body will accept them as natural roots. As a result, they help prevent any further breakdown in the jaw, allowing long-lasting tooth replacement. Our team can connect you to a dentist in Kansas City, KS who performs ridge augmentation and dental implants, and also let you know about our dental plan to make sure your care fits in your budget!

Tooth loss could lead to major issues for your smile. For example, this could impact your meal options, or how clearly you can articulate. But the most severe complication is the break down of structure in the jaw. The body suspends the flow of calcium, phosphate, and other minerals to the areas without teeth, which in turn causes bone loss and an older appearance and weakens the jaw significantly. Which means you may not be able to receive dental implants to address lost teeth. But Doctors Network can connect you with a dentist in Kansas City, KS who can strengthen your smile.


As we’ve discussed in previous posts, a jawbone grafting procedure helps strengthen the lower jaw, so it can support dental implants. But what about the upper arch? Instead of grafting, your Kansas City dentist could perform a sinus lift. Essentially, the dentist will raise the sinus floor to induce the formation of new support structure. The new structure can support your new implants. Once the new teeth are secured, this stimulates the growth of bone tissue to keep your jaw secure. Your new teeth can then last for decades to come, possibly even a lifetime.


If you need to strengthen your weakened upper jawbone to support one or more dental implants, we could help. Our team can connect you with a Kansas City, KS dental professional who can address tooth loss and takes new patients. When your smile is strengthened and ready, dental implants could provide a full smile again. If you don’t have dental insurance, don’t let this stand between you and optimal oral health. Instead, talk to our team about our monthly membership plan. With a monthly membership fee, you can have treatments discounted by as much as 90% in some situations. A full smile is in your future!

It is paramount for your little ones to visit a pediatric dentist bi-yearly for checkups and cleanings. By teaching kids how to take care of their teeth, you are ensuring that they have the skills to have healthy smiles for life. If you are looking for a kids dentist in Kansas City who accepts new patients, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering checkups and cleanings, dentists on Doctors Network also provide your little children with sealants. These are small pieces of BPA-free acrylic that dentists paint onto their molars. They work as a protective film that forms a barrier between their back teeth and harmful bacteria. This ultimately prevents the risk of tooth decay by up to eighty percent. It is a simple procedure that is very effective at preventing cavities on adult teeth in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another great tool that your kids’ dentists provide. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps strengthen your child’s teeth. While enamel is one of the most protective substances our bodies produce, it can still weaken over time. When this occurs, your kid’s teeth become more susceptible to cavities. This procedure helps mitigate this damage. Using fluoride toothpaste can also help. To learn more, please schedule an appointment with one of our pediatric dentists in Kansas City.

Many folks would be ecstatic to have a whiter smile. When you venture down the aisles of any drug store, you see numerous products that tout their teeth whitening abilities. If you have purchased any of these, you know that they almost always provide unsatisfying results. However, professional tooth whitening can actually provide a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Kansas City, KS that takes uninsured patients, we can help you find one that offers professional whitening.

When you visit your Kansas City dental practice, they can provide you with either an in-office or at-home option. With the in-office option, you will typically be out within about an hour, and you will have noticeably whiter teeth. For this option, your dentist will apply a gel solution to your teeth that they will then activate with a special light, to remove stains.

If you would prefer to go with whitening from the comfort of your home, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can use along with a safe bleaching solution. You will put these on for one or two hours each day for about two weeks. Once this treatment is complete, you will have a whiter and brighter smile. If you would like to request a visit with a Kansas City dentist that takes uninsured patients, we can help you find a great one.

If it has been a long time since you last went to a dentist, you probably should schedule a checkup soon. When you go in for regular dental checkups, your dentist can thoroughly examine your mouth to make sure nothing is awry. This helps prevent caries from occurring, minimizing the chance of needing more costly procedures down the road. If you need to schedule an appointment with a dentist in Kansas City, KS that accepts uninsured individuals we can help you find a great match.

When you visit your dentist for a checkup, they will start with a thorough cleaning. This will remove built-up that is tough to remove at home — even with terrific brushing and flossing habits. The dental cleaning will leave your mouth feeling fresh and rejuvenated.

Once your cleaning is completed, your Kansas City dentist will begin his examination. During this portion of your visit, the dentist will thoroughly look at your oral cavity to identify any potential complications. Should they notice something awry, they can provide treatment options. The Kansas City dental practice we set you up with will offer comprehensive services to address a variety of dental conditions. If you visit the dentist regularly they can keep track of the health of your mouth.

Everyone deserves the best care that their dentists have to offer, but unfortunately, not everyone can afford the out-of-pocket expenses that dental insurance often leaves them with. This is especially impactful for the 10.6% of Kansas families that do not have insurance coverage at all. To help ensure that everyone receives the level of care that they deserve at reasonable costs, Doctors Network and dentists across Kansas offer a direct dental plan that works separately from dental insurance. For a low monthly fee that is determined by your dentist, membership in Doctors Network means that you can attend checkup and cleaning appointments for only $25 per visit. It also means that you can enjoy discounts of up to 90% on every dental treatment you require, including fillings, crowns, teeth-whitening, porcelain veneers, dental implants, and more.

It was so easy to find a doctor and make an appointment. I didn't have to take hours to call different offices and find out who takes my insurance and who doesn't.

I'm a freelancer, so I can't buy insurance easily, so I always ended up paying a lot for doctors' visits. I signed up for a Doctors Network dental plan, and my dental cleanings cost only $25 now. If you don't have dental insurance I highly recommend it.
