About Shunga Family Dental Care

Shunga Family Dental Care provides dental care on Southwest 28th Street in the West Southwest 3 area of Topeka, Kansas. Implants are considered by many dentists the most durable way to replace a missing tooth, since the titanium post fuses with the jaw bone over several months and then supports a crown that functions much like a natural tooth. Enough healthy bone is the main prerequisite, and a graft can build that up first if needed.

A veneer is a thin custom shell bonded to the front of a tooth to change its shape, length, or colour, most often used to address chips, gaps, or discoloration that whitening alone cannot fix. Traditional veneers require a small amount of enamel to be removed, which makes the change permanent.

Cosmetic treatment is generally the least invasive branch of dentistry, built around changing how teeth look rather than fixing something broken. Whitening and bonding sit at the lighter end; veneers and reshaping involve more planning. Most cosmetic dental insurance excludes this kind of work, since it is elective rather than medically necessary.

Emergency dental care covers sudden problems that will not wait for a routine appointment — severe pain, a knocked-out or fractured tooth, swelling, or a lost filling that leaves a tooth exposed. Same-day or urgent appointments are the point of an emergency service, rather than the standard multi-week booking window.

A crown covers an entire damaged tooth — used when too much structure is missing for a filling to hold reliably, whether from a large fracture, extensive decay, or after root canal treatment. It restores both the shape and the biting strength of the tooth underneath.

A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring a false tooth to crowns placed on the teeth either side of the gap, creating a fixed replacement rather than a removable one. It is a longstanding alternative to an implant, particularly when the neighbouring teeth already need crowns.

I had a very positive visit...quick and professional. Very good all around . I am always treated well ...they know my history. Pleased to be treated like a friend. Mindy was a gentle professional hygienist, and Dr. Naeger is top notch.

Long story short, I knew I was going to be going in to get some news I didn’t want to hear on the state of my teeth. I’ve had an avoidance from dentists for a long time due to traumatic experiences as a kid and teen. When I say everyone I met on my first visit was SO kind, I genuinely mean so. I didn’t feel uncomfortable. I didn’t feel judgement. I didn’t feel like just another patient. Everyone explained everything in an authentic, kind manner and answered any questions I had with respect. I was shocked as I’ve never experienced that. I was reassured multiple times that I wasn’t alone, as when having dental issues and not wanting to go to the dentist, you can have a certain mental state. A huge thanks to Shunga Family Dental.Will highly recommend to anyone.

An appointment with Dr. Naeger’s office is seamless. The dental hygienist cleans the teeth, takes x-rays, and has everything ready for Dr. Naeger when she comes in to visit and recommend any treatment. For the first time in my life I’m enjoying going to the dentist.

Ms. Angelisa is an excellent hygienist. Dr. Naeger made me feel very comforted in the decisions I need to make regarding my dental well-being and there is always hope. It was wonderful seeing Ms. Rosie again as her husband, Dr. Speake referred me to Dr. Naeger. The Shunga Dental office is like coming home to a safe place.
