This is the best dentistry around. Dr. Osei is amazing and she goes above and beyond. She's honest and will work with you. The team here is wonderful. They are always smiling and treat you with great respect. They make going to the dentist a breeze. They are quick and good at what they do. My husband has been going to a different comfort dental for years and he even switched to this office after he saw how great this place did.

This office is a pain saver. I called the office late one evening and they were able to see me the next morning. The office staff is very nice and professional. I met the charming Dr Dan who looked over my x-rays and told me exactly what was causing my pain. We developed a plan to correct my issues and he quoted a price that was much lower than I'd expected. I'm looking forward to my next visit with him

The African American Female dentist was very nice and friendly but she is not good at listening to patients needs. I made it very clear and specific that I am extremely hard to numb. She barely numb me when she start drilling I felt pain instantly. Also most dentist wait at least 5 minutes after they numb you to make sure that your good and num. She began working on my tooth seconds after she had numb me.
Which was not a good experience at all. I told them to refund me my money for my crown and I will go to my original dentist. I only went to comfort dental because I need my tooth worked on asap and my original dentist was booked for 2 weeks. If you need a teeth cleaning I would recommend comfort dental. But if you need actual work done I would never recommend them. I highly recommend King Dentistry in North Kansas City.
When i went to King Dentistry they listened and made sure I was very numb the first time. He made the experience very and he is truly more experienced than the African American dentist at comfort dental.

Dr. Dan is definitely the man. Been working with him & his team for years. Kind, professional, affordable & always does everything he can to make patients feel comfortable. Nice to see him continuously training his staff as he is doing his thing. Other offices are closer but driving to work with him specifically is worth it to myself. Trust is key in any relationship & he has definitely earned my trust over the years. Keep up the great work!

Exceptional establishment! I was a first time patient and Dr. Dan was very welcoming. Bianca took care of my x-rays and cleaned my teeth, no complaints, she's great at what she does. I'm glad I chose Comfort Dental Midtown. I'd recommend to anyone.

They definitely get five stars from me. The staff is very kind and professional. The doctor is such a great asset to this company she is very compassionate and understanding but most of all no pain and I had oral surgery and a root canal.

My first visit went really well. The receptionist, dental assistants and Dr. Nguyen were all warmly receptive. Currently in the process of determining my next step after the initial evaluation and x-rays, which were reasonably priced at $19, I highly recommend Comfort Dental Midtown.

New to KC and needed a dentist due to toothache. This was the second place I called because the first wasn't accepting new patients and they were able to get me in pretty quickly which was great. I get there before my appt and the staff was friendly. However, I get put in this room for a consultation. after waiting twenty minutes I left because no one came into the room to talk to me. Still not clear what the consultation even was for considering they didn't know what my teeth even looked like by this point.
Just felt like a bizarre experience compared to previous places I've been to for dental work. Update: Was able to get in with a new dentist in the plaza area next day who had me in the chair, X-rays & pictures taken all in twenty minutes. Overall I was in and out within forty minutes. So definitely shop around prior to coming here if you can.

Dr. Dan is absolutely amazing. Everyone from the time you walk in the door (Amanda) to the dentist (Dr Dan) is phenomenal. Their prices are fair and their professionalism is pinnacle. I switched over from a dentist in the plaza and I've never been happier. They are truly a great dental practice.

My first visit to Comfort Dental yesterday. The staff were very friendly and the dentist was amazing. Even with my "allergy" to needles! Everything went well. I was expecting a large bill for what I needed done but they were very reasonable. I will be going back in the future. I recommend them highly if you are looking to change.

Tried this dentist out after my last one was pretty mean and aggressive. Service was quick and the dentist and employees were all very nice. Only thing that caused minimal pain/discomfort was the x-rays but those were very fast, too. Thanks for a great visit!

John Dubios and his staff are absolutely amazing! I am absolutely petrified of a dentist due to bad experiences in the past with other dentists, and they where so understanding and didn't do anything I wasn't comfortable with doing right then. For example i was going to have all the work that needed done on my right side done and thwn go bk and have my left side done, but was way to nervous and scared and couldn't go through with having everything done on the one side, and they completely understood and are letting me break it into sections, and referring me to an oral surgeon so i can be put under to have the teeth extracted that need to be removed.
I highly recommend them, and let me just say that's huge for me, because me telling you I'm petrified of a dentist doesnt even come remotely close to explain just how bad it is for me when i have to go to a dentist!!!

Great service friendliness and clean. Dr. Boyer was was great in making you feel relaxed. Explaining to you exactly what he was going to and made you feel relaxed even when your so nervous and scared to death about the dentist. A great staff, wish I had them when I was a child I would t be so afraid of Dentists now.
