About our Practice

Many practices say it, but for KC Smile Doc it's true – our patients are our number one priority.  Providing a safe and comfortable environment which helps you relax when visiting our practice is something we are proud to do.  Offering comprehensive dental care and addressing both your dental health and the appearance of your smile is important to us.

 

KC Smile Doc is a warm, inviting and comfortable office in Kansas City, and we know what we offer is more than bells and whistles. With that being said it doesn't mean that we don't offer relaxing amenities.  During your appointment we provide DVD players, virtual glasses which enable you to watch movies during your visit, headphones for listening to relaxing music during your procedure and massage chairs that can reduce and ease anxiety – it's almost like a visit to your favorite spa.  We also offer Sedation Dentistry to those patients with dental anxiety.  Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) is an excellent option for those who need help with relaxation, but don't want to be "out of it."  This allows a patient to relax without being heavily sedated.
