The key to a lifetime of healthy teeth is the development of healthy habits early in life. Please bring your child in to see us as soon as they have enough teeth to warrant a visit! Our youngest patients are about 18 months old, and we often see their parents and grandparents too.
Multigenerational dental care is essential to our practice because it's great for your family.

Plus, we have much fun with the kids in our office; they get to choose a prize from our treasure chest after their exam. We even let them control the TV during their appointment!
No matter what stage of life your family members are in, we have options to treat them. Whether your teenager needs a custom athletic mouthguard for school sports or your father-in-law needs a dental implant, we are here for your family.

S&G Family Dentistry is your go-to dentist office for tooth fillings. Our expert team has many years of experience placing fillings and bringing back smiles to people in and around Leawood.
We primarily use composite resin fillings because they:
Tooth fillings are one of the most common dental services our patients require. So, in addition to composite, we also offer metal and gold fillings, ceramic inlays and onlays. The choice is yours, and we'll discuss all these great options with you.
Nobody likes to think about getting cavities. They're usually the result of a lack of proper brushing, flossing and routine exams. Bacteria left on a tooth produce acid that eats away at the tooth's enamel. Eventually, a small hole will form called a cavity.
If left untreated, the cavity may extend to the inner part of the tooth and cause infection. If this happens, you will most likely experience significant pain and discomfort, especially while chewing.
Come in for a visit, and our dentists will comfortably place a tooth filling to protect your tooth against further damage from decay. Request an appointment or call (913) 451-2929.
At S&G Family Dentistry, we are experts at repairing dental problems using dental crowns and bridges. Visit our Leawood office and let the team determine if a crown or bridge is the right option to restore your natural, gorgeous smile!
A crown is an outer covering placed over an injured or diseased tooth to protect it from further damage. It will function as the biting surface for the tooth, so you can bite down and chew on food pain-free.
Bridges help restore smiles with one or more missing teeth. Sometimes a bridge is called a partial denture. It replaces the missing teeth with artificial teeth and literally "bridges" the gap where the tooth or teeth used to be.
Dental crowns and dental bridges are excellent options to:
Our dentists will use one of three different materials for your crown:
Your dentist will determine if a crown is suitable for your situation. We'll make impressions of your teeth and take images so your restoration can be custom-made in the lab. Once your crown is ready, we'll prep the tooth and remove all disease and decay. Then we'll cement the crown over the top of your tooth and ensure it fits perfectly and blends in naturally with your other teeth. You now have a restored tooth and can flash your smile confidently.
If your damaged or diseased tooth needs more than a standard filling but doesn't require a crown, a dental inlay or onlay is a great option to fill the space between cusps. We'll have one custom-made for you and then cement it securely to the top of your tooth.
Your comfort is our top priority at S&G Family Dentistry. We'll do our best to treat you like family and make sure you feel relaxed and at ease when you have your dental appliance placed. Our staff is very personable and here to make your visit as pleasant as possible. Just ask if you'd like a comfy pillow or cozy blanket during your procedure!
Request an appointment or call us at (913) 451-2929 today, and we'll schedule a no-hassle appointment to discuss your dental crown and bridge options.
If oral bacteria invade the pulp (the material inside your tooth), it causes a painful infection. Our dentists can perform a root canal that removes the damaged, infected pulp with comfortable precision tools to eliminate the pain, seal your tooth and allow it to remain in place.
A root canal is sometimes needed when you have the following causes and symptoms:
Don't worry if you have pain and need root canal therapy; we will help you regain your healthy smile. Request an appointment or call S&G Family Dentistry at (913) 451-2929 today to schedule your appointment.
The dentists at S&G Family Dentistry love when our patients are active. A healthy mouth is only one part of being healthy, and we encourage exercise whenever possible. However, we encourage you to protect your teeth while being active with a custom athletic mouthguard.
Our custom design will benefit you in many ways:
Think of a custom athletic mouthguard as a type of insurance policy for your smile. With this initial investment in a high-quality, custom-made mouthguard, you can prevent a dental emergency and possibly the need for expensive, complex dental work due to a preventable injury.
A custom mouthguard is more expensive than the guards you will find in a sporting goods store or drug store. You are paying for a custom fit, comfort and protection. That cheap boil-and-bite mouthguard will not protect you as well as a guard crafted for your unique mouth. Plus, one-size-fits-all mouthguards tend to be bulky with excess plastic, which makes it difficult for you to breathe and communicate while wearing one.
If you are active, you should be wearing some form of mouthguard. We can craft the exact protection you need depending on your specific activity. For example, a football player needs a different form of protection than a mountain biker or a volleyball player.
Learn more about custom athletic mouthguards at your next dental appointment. Or if you are ready, Request an appointment or call us at (913) 451-2929 to begin the process toward a safer mouth. Feel better knowing your smile is protected while you're on the court, field, track or trail!
TMJ is your temporomandibular (tem-puh-roe-man-DIB-u-lur) joint, the sliding hinge that connects your jawbone to your skull. It allows your jaw to move so that you can open and close your mouth, talk, and chew food. Many people develop problems with their TMJ at some point.
Are you experiencing any of these TMJ symptoms?
If you are, you may have a TMJ disorder. One of our expert dentists will perform a thorough examination to determine the cause of your pain. We can offer you treatment options to get the relief you need from ongoing jaw pain, headaches and earaches. We can even help you stop grinding and clenching your teeth while sleeping.
Our dentists will fit you for a custom mouthguard to wear while sleeping. This will eliminate teeth grinding and move your jaw into the proper position to ease your TMJ discomfort and pain. Depending on your case, we may also recommend a particular appliance called an NTI splint. This device keeps your teeth from touching so that grinding them is impossible. As pressure is relieved on your TMJ, it will have a chance to heal, and you'll be on your way to a healthy, pain-free mouth.
Request an appointment or call us today at (913) 451-2929, and a friendly staff member will set up an appointment to get help with your TMJ discomfort.
In addition to our quality dental cleanings and restoration work, we can help you find relief from the following oral health concerns.
It is imperative to treat gum disease early. We can help with a deep cleaning process called scaling and root planing. We also use laser treatment, Arestin antibiotics, and an effective mouth rinse to remove harmful bacteria and improve overall health.
More than a simple inconvenience, dry mouth can cause serious harm to your mouth. Let our hygienists and doctors offer quick and easy solutions, like mouth rinses, to improve oral health.
If you are concerned that your breath is always an issue, just let us know! We can help you evaluate your diet and habits and identify areas for improvement. Fresh breath is a huge confidence boost, so let us help today.
