Everything on this page is provided at 1010 Walnut St, Suite 280 by our own general dentists. You can book any of them directly by phone, and costs are explained before treatment begins.

Call (816) 439-7715.
Preventive care is most of what a healthy mouth needs, and it is the cheapest dentistry you will ever buy. A dental exam and cleaning every six months lets us catch decay while a small filling still fixes it, screen for oral cancer, and keep gums healthy before gum disease treatment becomes necessary. Children's visits build the habit early, with fluoride and sealants when they help.
RestorativeWhen a tooth is damaged, decayed or missing, restorative dentistry brings it back into use. Tooth-colored fillings handle everyday decay. Crowns and bridges protect broken-down teeth and span gaps. Root canal treatment saves a tooth whose nerve is infected, and when a tooth cannot be saved, extraction followed by an implant, bridge or denture restores the space.
Cosmetic & straighteningCosmetic treatment changes the color, shape or position of the teeth that show. Professional whitening is the simplest starting point, veneers and bonding reshape chipped or uneven front teeth, and clear aligners straighten crowded or spaced teeth without brackets and wires. Dr. Berkvam holds her Invisalign certification and plans aligner cases in the office.
UrgentSevere pain, a broken or knocked-out tooth, a lost filling or crown, swelling around a tooth: these get same-day attention where possible. Our emergency dentistry page explains what to do in the first hour, what we can treat on the day, and when a hospital emergency department is the right call instead. Wisdom teeth that flare up repeatedly are assessed the same way.
Yes. Every service listed on this page is provided by our own general dentists at 1010 Walnut St, Suite 280, and you can book any of them directly by phone. If your exam shows that something needs doing, you hear what it is, what it involves and what it costs, in writing, before anything begins. The front desk also checks your insurance benefits first, so the figure you see reflects what you will actually pay rather than a list price. Call (816) 439-7715.
Book an exam. A dental exam with X-rays is the starting point for almost everything on this page, because it tells us what is actually happening before anyone recommends treatment. If you are in pain right now, say so when you call and we will treat it as an emergency visit instead so you are seen sooner. Either way, the front desk will point you to the right appointment type. Call (816) 439-7715.
Yes, and downtown families do this often, since one trip to Walnut Street can cover a parent and children in a single visit. Tell the front desk how many people you are booking for and roughly what each person needs, and they will block the time together. Children are welcome for checkups, cleanings, fluoride, sealants and fillings. To arrange a family block, call (816) 439-7715.
You are told before treatment begins, not after. Once the exam and X-rays show what is needed, the front desk prepares an estimate, checks your insurance benefits if you have them, and walks you through the numbers so nothing on the bill is a surprise. CareCredit and Cherry financing are available for larger treatment plans. For an estimate on a specific treatment, call (816) 439-7715.
Yes. The daily schedule keeps room for urgent problems such as severe toothache, a broken tooth, a lost filling or crown, or swelling around a tooth, and the earlier in the day you call, the better the chance of being seen the same day. Our $99 emergency exam covers the problem-focused exam and the X-rays needed to find the cause. Call (816) 439-7715.
