Kids Dentist Costs in Kansas City, Kansas (2026)

Approximate price ranges — may vary by provider and insurance plan

Child dental exam + cleaning (under 12)$100 – $250
Fluoride treatment$25 – $50
Dental sealants (per tooth)$35 – $70
Child X-rays (bitewings)$40 – $90

Space maintainer$250 – $450
Nitrous oxide sedation (per visit)$50 – $130
Athletic mouthguard (custom)$150 – $500

Prices sourced from kcbracesandkids.com (a real Kansas City-area pediatric dental/orthodontic practice, confirming local availability of these services), toothcostguide.com (pulpotomy cost guide), realdentalcosts.com (space maintainer / expander cost guide), and carecredit.com. No Kansas City-specific published pediatric fee schedule was found online, so dollar ranges are based on national pediatric-dentistry cost guides rather than a local price list; one national pediatric fee schedule (Norfolk, VA) was also cross-checked for realistic per-item pricing but is not itself KC-specific. Ranges reflect USD pricing as of 2026. Most dental insurance plans cover preventive pediatric care (exams, fluoride, sealants) at close to 100%; sedation and mouthguards are typically not covered. Always confirm current pricing directly with a local pediatric dentist.

Closed · Opens today at 8 AM

Pediatric Dentistry is the documented focus in Shawnee; Children / Pediatric Dentistry sits within 19 services on profile — just outside Kansas City proper.

Read full description

Monticello Family Dental is a dental practice on Midland Drive in the Shawnee West Office Park area of Shawnee, Kansas. A dental implant replaces a missing tooth at the root, not just the crown — a small titanium post is placed in the jaw bone and, once it has integrated over a period of months, a replacement tooth is attached to it. It is generally the most durable option for a single missing tooth or several.

Clear aligners straighten teeth through a series of custom, removable trays, each worn for one to two weeks before moving to the next in the sequence. They suit mild to moderate crowding and spacing well, and are worn roughly twenty to twenty-two hours a day for treatment to stay on schedule.

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.

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. This page has the practice's contact details and full service list. Get in touch through it to ask questions or book a visit.

Read full description

Based on West 109th Street in the Fox Hill Office Park area of Overland Park, Kansas, Meadowlark Dental is a dental practice serving the area. A dental implant replaces a missing tooth at the root, not just the crown — a small titanium post is placed in the jaw bone and, once it has integrated over a period of months, a replacement tooth is attached to it. It is generally the most durable option for a single missing tooth or several.

Clear aligners straighten teeth through a series of custom, removable trays, each worn for one to two weeks before moving to the next in the sequence. They suit mild to moderate crowding and spacing well, and are worn roughly twenty to twenty-two hours a day for treatment to stay on schedule.

Cosmetic dentistry covers treatment aimed primarily at appearance — whitening, veneers, bonding, and reshaping among the more common options — for patients who are less concerned with a problem that hurts than with how their smile looks day to day. The right combination depends on what specifically you would like to change.

Root canal treatment removes infected or inflamed tissue from inside a tooth, cleans and seals the space, and allows the natural tooth to be kept rather than extracted. Its reputation for being painful is largely outdated — carried out under local anaesthetic, it typically relieves pain rather than causing it.

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.

Dentures replace some or all of the natural teeth in a jaw with a removable appliance, custom-fitted to the mouth. A full denture replaces every tooth; a partial fills gaps where some natural teeth remain. Because the jaw bone reshapes over time, dentures typically need adjusting or remaking periodically. This page has the practice's contact details and full service list. Get in touch through it to ask questions or book a visit.

Boyle Tara DDS

Closed · Opens today at 7 AM

Pediatric Dentistry focus in Lenexa, with children / pediatric dentistry listed among 14 documented services — just outside Kansas City proper.

Read full description

Boyle Tara DDS operates on Woodland Drive in Lenexa, 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.

Clear aligners straighten teeth through a series of custom, removable trays, each worn for one to two weeks before moving to the next in the sequence. They suit mild to moderate crowding and spacing well, and are worn roughly twenty to twenty-two hours a day for treatment to stay on schedule.

How to Choose a Dentist in Kansas City

Use the ranking as a starting point, then narrow the shortlist based on the kind of care you actually need.

If you want routine or family care

Prioritize review consistency, insurance friendliness, practical hours, and a broad general-dentistry service mix over marketing language alone.

If urgency matters

Confirm same-day capacity, after-hours guidance, and whether the clinic handles urgent restorative work in-house or refers out.

If affordability matters most

Compare financing signals, insurance notes, and the local cost guide. A higher-ranked clinic is not automatically the best value for your specific treatment.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Do you accept my insurance or offer payment plans?
  • Are you taking new patients right now?
  • Do you handle my treatment in-house?
  • What is the total expected cost before treatment starts?
EditorialUpdated August 8, 2026Independently reviewed

Kansas City has no shortage of dental providers — a quick search pulls up hundreds. The challenge isn't finding one, it's figuring out which ones actually deliver.

This is the short list. Ten providers in Kansas City, Kansas that consistently showed up in the data — not because they paid to be here, but because their patients keep coming back and referring others. If you're weighing options for kids dentist in Kansas City, start here.
