We are different. Because 70% of our nearby patients come from referrals, you will never see Dr. Byars on a TV commercial or billboard. Instead, he spends his time providing exceptional experiences to our current dental patients in Kansas City. It is important to us that we can take extra time to get to know you. We call it dentistry perfected, and we hope you agree.
I love what I do. How many people can say that? I consider myself lucky, and I am truly blessed to have a team around me who shares my passion for providing each of our patients with an unmatched level of compassion and care. We understand many people do not like visiting the dentist – or are even scared to do so. This is why my clinical expertise is only one part of my commitment to each patient. My primary job is to educate and inspire you. . . to motivate you to take care of your teeth and work with me to create a beautiful, healthy smile that lasts a lifetime.
Meet Your DentistGood people come to us from all walks of life. We enjoy providing five-star dentistry in Kansas City to grandparents in need of dentures or dental implants, children, and the parents in between. Some have perfectly healthy teeth without any cavities. Others have not been to a dentist in 10+ years. Regardless, what we do is called comprehensive dentistry. It means we take the time to thoroughly evaluate your teeth and gums. We listen to you. And, we work with you to develop a plan for your smile. If one of the situations below describes you, please call our dental office in your area to learn how we can help.
Whether you’re here for a check-up and cleaning or an emergency appointment we take dentistry very seriously. At the same time, we do not take ourselves too seriously. From what we can tell, a laugh and a smile can go a long way in helping our patients relax and enjoy their time with us. The vibe in our nearby dental office starts with the cool, calm demeanor of Dr. Byars. It expands with our focus on family and nearby community. We may have kids in the same schools, or we may volunteer at the same charity. In any case, we want you to look forward to every visit, and we will always welcome you with open arms.
We are proud to provide a variety of life-changing treatments for our patients, including Invisalign, and even cosmetic dentistry procedures like porcelain veneers, all of which can help give you even more reasons to smile!
Meet Your Dental TeamMany people believe high-quality dentistry means high-cost dentistry. We disagree. In fact, we have more than 20 years of experience proving this is not the case.

We welcome dental insurance and help you maximize your benefits, and we even accept financing from creditors like CareCredit. Want to save even more money? Our Smile Out Loud Program rewards you for referring your friends and family to us! Finally, from porcelain veneers to dental implants, we’ll make sure you you know exactly what any treatment costs before we begin. No surprises.
Explore your financial optionsThere is no higher honor than to have someone trust us with their smile. It is a pleasure to share the stories of some of these patients. We hope their insights – and results – inspire you to follow in their footsteps.

Qualifications for implant dentistry can take many forms. Specialized experts include periodontists (dentists with in-depth knowledge about gums), oral surgeons, and prosthodontists (dentists who focus on restorations and tooth replacements). However, general dentists can be highly trained in dental implant treatments as well.
Usually, this information is contained in their bio. Dr. Byars’ bio, for example, highlights a one-year residency program he completed called The Advanced Education in General Dentistry Residency, which focuses on restorations like implants and is an accomplishment few professionals achieve. When all is said and done, the best way to find an implant dentist in Kansas City is to check their credentials for specialization or advanced training!
Absolutely! We understand that visiting the dentist isn’t a positive experience for everyone, for many possible reasons. Oral health is an important part of overall wellness, and we don’t want patients to avoid the care they need due to anxiety or discomfort. That’s why Dr. Byers offers nitrous oxide sedation – which you may know as laughing gas!
This fast-acting dental sedative will effectively dull your senses and provide a feeling of calm during your treatment. For more information, don’t hesitate to give us a call or ask about it during your consultation.
Actually, many dentists also treat sleep apnea – some even make it the sole focus of their practice! Dentists can offer a unique and less cumbersome alternative to traditional CPAP machines. Because many cases of sleep apnea are caused by overrelaxed throat tissues, shifting the jaw forward can effectively open up your airways and help you breathe smoothly at night.
If you suffer from sleep apnea, Dr. Byers can provide you with an oral appliance that does exactly that. The device resembles a clear retainer or aligner, and all you have to do is wear it when you’re ready for bed or a snooze. Unlike a CPAP machine, this method is quiet and portable; two qualities many patients appreciate!
