Why Choose our Dental Practice
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.

FAQs
We understand that you may have many questions for Dr. Byars and our team here in Kansas City. You’re always welcome to dial our number and ask your questions over the phone, but if you just can’t wait, check out these frequently asked questions. One of them could very well provide the information you’re looking for!
How can I make a same-day appointment with a dentist?
We accept same-day appointments in cases of dental emergencies. These might include a knocked-out tooth, a missing or damaged restoration, dental damage, signs of gum disease or cavities, and so on. Basically, if there’s valid concern that waiting could make your oral situation worse, we’ll do our best to see you as soon as possible!
The best way to reach us for a same-day emergency dentistry appointment is to call us over the phone. We’ll pick up in a timely manner and promptly make any next-step arrangements, such as booking your appointment.
What is the best way to find a dentist who does dental implants?
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!
Can I receive sedation for my dental appointment?
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.
Why do you treat sleep apnea?
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!
