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.

Grownups are not the only ones who benefit from regular dental care. Adolescents need routine checkups and cleanings as well, and they need to be monitored by a dentist for issues like tooth decay. This could include dental misalignment, or for teens, wisdom tooth eruption. If you need to schedule an appointment online with a family dentist in Kansas City, KS with experience helping little smiles, then Doctors Network is able to help you.


Checkups and cleanings should begin as soon as all twenty baby teeth erupt, and continue every six months. These visits enable your Kansas City pediatric dentist to watch the smile over time, and if areas of concern develop, such as tooth decay, or gingivitis, then intervention might be needed. In addition, kids can often receive a topical fluoride gel to strengthen the outer enamel of their teeth and prevent tooth decay. Dental sealants, which coat the hard-to-reach rear teeth, can protect teeth for years to come. In fact, this layer of acrylic can last as long as ten years in some cases.


If you are searching for family dentists in Kansas City who can provide children’s dentistry, contact us. We want to help you find a dentist in your area. With routine care kids not only enjoy strong and healthy smiles, but they also learn the value of good oral hygiene. Checkups and cleanings can start them on the path to a lifetime of healthy smiles. All of it starts with that initial dental exam. So, use our search tool to find the best dentist for you and your children!

It is paramount for children to visit a pediatric dentist every six months for checkups and cleanings. By teaching your kids great oral health habits, you are ensuring that they have the tools to have healthy smiles for ever. If you are looking for a kids’ dentist in Kansas City who accepts patients with no dental insurance, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering exams and cleanings, dentists on Doctors Network also provide your child with dental sealants. Sealants are thin layers of film that go on top of their back teeth. They work as a protective film that forms a barrier between their adult molars and harmful germs. This ultimately prevents the risk of decay by up to 80%. It is a simple procedure that is very effective at preventing the need for fillings in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another great tool that your dentists provide. Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps fortify your child’s enamel. While enamel is one of the strongest substances our bodies produce, it can still weaken over time. When this occurs, your kid’s teeth become more susceptible to damage. Fluoride treatment prevents this from happening. Using high-fluoride toothpaste can also help. For more information, please schedule an appointment with one of our dental practices in Kansas City.

Many individuals would prefer to have a whiter smile. When you venture down the aisles of any grocery store, you see numerous products that tout their teeth whitening abilities. If you have tried any of these, you know that they almost always provide disappointing results. However, professional tooth bleaching can actually produce a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Kansas City, KS that works with 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 even at-home treatment. If you choose the in-office treatment, you will have brighter teeth within about an hour. 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 an at-home treatment, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can use along with a safe whitening solution. You will put these on for a couple of 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 online with a Kansas City dentist that accepts uninsured patients, we can help you find a great one.

If it has been over six months since you last saw a dentist, you probably should schedule an appointment as soon as possible. When you go in for bi-annual visits, your dentist can thoroughly examine your smile to make sure nothing is wrong. This helps prevent cavities from occurring, minimizing the chance of needing more costly procedures down the road. If you are looking for a dentist in Kansas City, KS that accepts uninsured individuals we can help you find a great practice.

When you visit your dentist for a checkup, they will start with a thorough cleaning. This will remove plaque that is difficult to remove at home — even with terrific brushing and flossing habits. The cleaning will leave your smile feeling fresh and rejuvenated.

Once your cleaning is completed, your Kansas City dentist will begin his or her examination. During this portion of your visit, the dentist will thoroughly look at your oral cavity to identify any potential complications. If they find anything amiss, they can suggest the proper treatment. The Kansas City dentist we set you up with will offer comprehensive services to address a variety of dental needs. When you visit the dentist consistently they can monitor the health of your mouth. If you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment online with a dentist that takes uninsured individuals, we can help you find a great one.

KKansas residents proudly boast that the state (specifically, Smith County) is literally the center of the contiguous United States. It was also the jurisdiction of what would become Wild West legends Wyatt Earp, James Butler "Wild Bill" Hickok, and William B. "Bat" Masterson. Today, it is one of the epicenters of America’s agricultural industry, as well as the home of over 2.9 million residents of all ages. With Doctors Network, residents can focus more on what the Sunflower State has to offer and less on how much their family’s dental health care costs.

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.
