Services
Sedation Dentistry
Our sedation options help patients with dental anxiety experience comfortable treatment. We offer nitrous oxide and IV sedation methods tailored to individual needs. This service allows complex procedures to be completed with minimal stress while maintaining patient safety through continuous monitoring.
ClearCorrect Aligners
Invisible aligner therapy straightens teeth discreetly using custom-made trays. Our dentists create personalized treatment plans for gradual tooth movement. This orthodontic solution suits adults and teens seeking aesthetic improvements without traditional braces' visibility.
Dental Implants
Permanent tooth replacement solutions using titanium posts fused with jawbone tissue. Our implant process includes surgical placement and crown restoration. This service restores chewing function and prevents bone loss while maintaining natural facial contours.
Oral Surgery
We perform in-office surgical procedures for impacted teeth and complex extractions. Our approach minimizes discomfort using local anesthesia and sedation options. Post-operative care instructions ensure proper healing while preventing complications like dry socket.
Teeth Whitening
Professional-grade whitening treatments remove deep stains and discoloration. Custom trays and prescription-strength gel produce dramatic results in-office or through take-home kits. This cosmetic service enhances smiles while maintaining enamel integrity.

If you have dental anxiety, definitely give this place a try. I do not have enough stars or good words to say about them. I went in there with an extreme phobia of the dentist that kept me from getting care for more than ten years. I had several panic attacks during my visits but was met with patience and kindness every time. Dr. Nellor and Whitney, the hygienist, are especially great and I am so thankful to have had my dental care done by them.
The office staff are also so very patient. Everybody was thorough and willing to answer (and re-answer) all of my questions. Do yourself a favor and check this place out. My whole life changed for the better because of their patience and empathy.

Like many others, I have always been apprehensive about dental visits. I had a LOT of work that needed done, so when a friend referred me to this office, I gave Dr. Nellor a shot. She is incredibly caring and has the best bedside manner of any dentist I've ever seen. My hygienist, Jen, always makes you feel comfortable and you can tell she really loves her job. The entire team at this office is so friendly and beyond accommodating. They are all down to earth and just make the dentist experience something I actually look forward to now!

Best dentist office in town, hands down! The staff is welcoming and inviting, and very knowledgeable. They work quick and efficient! I've always had anxiety when visiting the dentist but now that I've seen Jen and Dr. Nellor the last few years my worry has lessened. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

We love The Dentists in Lawrence. Whitney is a wonderful hygienist who is great with anxious littles who have a fear of the dentist. Dr. Nellor is also super efficient and provides us with the best options for our family. With flexible hours and a friendly environment I could not recommend them more!

My hygienist, Jennifer, is always so friendly and calming! Dr. Nellor takes time to answer my questions and even worked with my previous dentist to get records to go forward with completing a dental procedure! Everyone in office is just beyond welcoming and and easy to chat with! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

The Dentists in Lawrence always go out of their way at to make my appointment enjoyable! Kalie has been my hygienist for many years now and I always look forward to seeing her every 6 months. They are also very accommodating to any allergies you may have. Overall I couldn't recommend them more!
