They have the best dentist here. They’re always kind, professional, and gentle. Dr. Petersen really knows her stuff. I hate going anywhere, I’ve had too many bad experiences with other dentists in Leawood, KS. She is truly the best. The only thing I would recommend is a hot tub. How cool would it be to get in a hot tub after a procedure? Oh well, guess you can’t have everything.

dental plan $34.99 per month

When a tooth becomes abscessed, treatment is required. Lack of treatment means the tooth could essentially die. At this stage, the tooth might need extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into the jaw. If posible, the ideal treatment for an infected tooth is root canal therapy. The procedure is effective, but sometimes a root canalled tooth becomes infected again, and treatment is once again necessary. You may need to book an appointment with one of our Kansas City dentists for a root canal redo.


Root canal treatment involves removing the tissues from the tooth’s interior. The interiors and root canals are cleaned with care, and a restorative material known as gutta percha is then administered. Usually, the tooth is then capped with a full restoration. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also match the rest of the smile. But if the procedure is not successful, the health of the tooth could be unpredictable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and pain when eating. If you experience discomfort, don’t risk tooth loss. Doctors Network can help you find an endodontist in Kansas City, KS that can offer another root canal and accepts private patients.


If you don’t have dental insurance don’t let that discourage you! Doctors Network can offer a discount dental plan to make dental care budget-friendly. With a monthly membership fee, you can receive a root canal retreatment without breaking the bank!

When a tooth is grossly decayed, it could become an infected tooth. The presence of abscess means serious discomfort, and without treatment, it could lead to progressively worsening discomfort. This is why your tooth may need restorative treatment. Fortunately, there are options available to bring relief. Our network can help connect you to a Kansas City dental professional for root canal therapy. We can also help find an endodontist that accepts private patients.


A dental abscess means that harmful oral bacteria have made contact with sensitive tooth structure. The pulp is the nerve center of the tooth, and it keeps the tooth healthy. Lack of intervention for an infection could allow tooth loss. A common warning sign of trouble could include sensitivity. Don’t ignore unexplained discomfort. Talk to our team about finding a Kansas City dental professional who accepts private patients and other forms of coverage.


A root canal procedure is a restorative dental treatment that can be completed in one sitting. Essentially, after the dentist numbs the tooth, the carious tooth structures are removed from within. The interior of the tooth is cleaned, and gutta percha is added. The last step involves capping the tooth with a custom-made dental crown. The crown is designed to protect the tooth and look natural. This treatment helps relieve the pain.


Daily brushing and flossing can help lower your risk of future caries and dental infections. Dental exams help as well. If you’re looking for root canal therapy in Kansas City for an infected tooth, talk to Doctors Network or request an online appointment. You have options, and we know how to find practices that accept private patients.

It is essential for kids to visit a dental professional on a semiannual basis for exams and cleanings. By teaching your children how to take care of their teeth, you are ensuring that they have the tools to have healthy smiles for life. If you are looking for a kids dentist in Kansas City who accepts patients with no dental coverge, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering biannual dental checkups and cleanings, dentists on Doctors Network also provide your little one with dental sealants. These are small pieces of BPA-free acrylic that dentists paint onto their molars. They work as a protective film that forms a shield between their permanent teeth and harmful bacteria. This ultimately prevents the risk of tooth decay by up to 80%. It is a simple tool that is very effective at preventing cavities on adult teeth in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another great tool that your pediatric dental professionals provide. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps bolster your child’s teeth. 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. This procedure helps mitigate this damage. Using toothpaste that has fluoride can also help. To learn more, we encourage you to schedule an appointment with one of our dental practices in Kansas City.

Many folks would be elated to have a whiter smile. When you stroll down the aisles of any pharmacy, you see countless products that advertise their teeth whitening abilities. If you have purchased any of these, you know that they almost always provide disappointing results. However, professional tooth whitening can actually give you a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Kansas City, KS that takes uninsured patients, we can help you find one that offers professional whitening.

When you visit your Kansas City dentist, they can provide you with either an at-home or in-office treatment. With the in-office option, you will typically be out within about an hour, and you will have noticeably whiter teeth. When you come in, your dentist will apply a bleaching gel to your front teeth that is then activated with a specialized light that removes discoloration.

If you would prefer to get an at-home treatment, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can use along with a safe bleaching solution. You will wear these for one or two hours each day for about 2 weeks. Once this treatment is over, you will have a brighter smile. If you would like to schedule a visit with a Kansas City dentist that takes uninsured patients, we can help you find a great one.

During this portion of your consultation, the dentist will thoroughly look at your mouth to identify any potential problems. Should they notice something awry, they can suggest the proper treatment.

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.
