Best dental clinics in Kansas City

12 clinics · ranked by rating & reviews · updated 2026

Kansas City's dental market spans two states and one shared checkbook - the UMKC School of Dentistry trains much of the region's profession, the Country Club Plaza and Brookside hold the established Missouri-side practices, and Johnson County across the state line carries the premium suburban work. Midwest pricing keeps quotes well below the coasts, and the metro's search demand for implants validated among the strongest in the region. Compare across the state line as a matter of course here. The clinics below are ranked by Google review volume and rating.
