General Dentistry

Using digital X-rays and modern techniques, we ensure accurate diagnoses and treatments tailored to individual needs.
Implant Restoration
Implant restoration replaces missing teeth with durable, natural-looking solutions. This service involves placing titanium posts into the jawbone to support crowns or dentures. We provide comprehensive consultations to determine candidacy, including bone density assessments for procedures like sinus lifts.

Our team creates customized treatment plans to achieve natural, confidence-boosting results while maintaining oral health.
Invisalign
Invisalign offers discreet orthodontic treatment using removable, custom-fit aligners. We treat mild to moderate misalignments for adults and teens, providing periodic adjustments for gradual tooth movement. The process includes 3D imaging to map treatment progress and expected outcomes.

This is a wonderful group of people. Every employee is warm and welcoming; they care about you and your dental health. They take extra care of every situation and seriously want you to get the best treatment! They seem to really enjoy working with each other and that makes the atmosphere relaxing and, dare I say, fun. It also helps that they have a large group photo at the entrance, as well as family dog photos on the wall. Would not go anywhere else!

Hands down the best family dentist in all of the KC area. I avoided the dentist for years, Dr Gilmore and his staff did an amazing job of meeting me where I was and helping me through the process. I am now a regular at his practice and recommend it to anyone looking for a great dentist. If you are in the market I strongly suggest you give them a chance to earn your business!
