In today’s blog, your Overland Park, KS, dentist explains why you benefit from a preventive visit.
Strong Smiles With Proper Brushing And Flossing

In today’s blog, your Overland Park, KS, dentist explains the benefits of proper brushing and flossing.
Stronger Dentures With All-On-4®
Often, people may find they don’t qualify for implant dentures due to loss of jawbone density, which means their smiles cannot support the six to eight dental implants per arch necessary to secure a new denture. However! Your Overland Park, KS, dentist has another option. All-On-4® uses only four implant posts, providing secure prosthetics for people who have lost jawbone mass and density due to tooth loss.
