North Kansas City Dental

Thank you Dr. Busch and Team for your amazing customer service! Over the last five years your office has gone above and beyond to assist me with all my dental needs. The one time I had a complaint, you were quick to help and rectified the situation. I truly appreciate how you take a personal and modern approach to your business. You are a Kansas City gem and a dental industry leader!

Such friendly patient careful staff at North Kansas Dental. They were very responsive to our concerns through a difficult procedure/​process. All costs were stated up front. The work was life improving. They also are frequented by the Chiefs Cheerleaders if you consider this a bonus.

I have had nothing but positive experiences from NKC Dental and Dr. Busch. From routine cleanings with friendly and skilled hygienists to wisdom teeth extraction, the procedures have been far better than I could’ve imagined.
When moving to Kansas City, I had to leave my dentist that had taken care of me from childhood and through college, and find a new dental home. Once I made it to NKC Dental, I knew my search was over. Dr. Busch is a wonderful dentist who really has your best interest in mind. I finally had my wisdom teeth removed, which was a procedure I had long been dreading, and it went as smooth as can be. I was comfortable throughout the extractions and through the whole healing process. In the end, having my wisdom teeth removed was much easier than I had ever imagined.
I can’t say enough great things describing how much I appreciate having Dr. Busch as my dentist. If you are looking for a dental home, I would definitely visit NKC Dental for all of your dental needs.

A very clean facility and very professional. I would recommend this dentist. I will definitely be going back.

I never have to wait long and my dental hygienist Melanie is the best I have ever had. They use the latest dental technology and you can with tv while the heated massaging seat relaxes you. Both of the dentists are awesome as well. Very personable and friendly. You won’t dread your six month checkup.

Great facilities, top technology & very pleasant team! They were very punctual and provided explanation & cost estimates of future work needed.

I like the facilities and staff at North Kansas City Dental. They seem to have modern equipment and go out of their way to make patients comfortable… which can be quite a feat for a dentist office. The only gripe I have is that there are two offices doing different functions and it can be confusing if you don’t know where you are going.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Busch since 2007 and have been very happy with the dental work he has provided. He is great about communicating through procedures to ensure adequate comfort is provided. He also stays up to date with dental procedures and technology for his office. I would recommend him to friends and family!

I have never enjoyed going to the dentist. I had always had this irrational fear of dying a slow, painful death at the hands of a dentist’s tools. All that has changed since I started coming to NKC Dental.
Den Vanyperan and the staff here are consummate professionals who ensure patients are comfortable and informed throughout any procedure. Sometimes you go to a dentist and they talk down to you or keep you in the dark about what is happening. Not here. I have never once felt like in was being talked down to or slighted. The staff has always ensured that I felt comfortable and informed.
I highly recommend Dr. Vanyperan to anyone seeking a dentist. You won’t regret it.

Dr. Busch has been our family dentist since we moved form Scottsdale, AZ to Kansas City. He has always taken excellent care of us when we are in the office. His hygienists are gentle and knowledgeable. Just today, my son had 4 wisdom teeth out and he is in very little pain (which is to be expected) but not to the degree that I have heard other people who have had their wisdom teeth out, have had. I attribute this to his technical abilities. We appreciate how he serves the community with TeamSmile. It is impressive that with a busy practice, he also takes the time to help the undeserved in Kansas City with TeamSmile.

I’ve been to Dr. Busch for about 6 procedures over about 3 years. They were mostly HORRIFYING to say the least. I have had several fillings in the past, wisdom teeth extraction and root canal BEFORE coming to NKC dental. He is a nice person but not a good dentist. He hit the wrong nerve in my mouth when giving me a shot and that is excruciating. I reminded him that it happened the next time, and he did it again! Another time I had a root canal and it lasted around 4hours. I kept losing numbness and it was so painful. He just kept pumping me full of anesthetic and continued to tear up my mouth even through all the pain. It took so long and was so painful he actually joked that they were going to take me to a special room to wipe my memory.
Every time I went in (I’ve had several fillings and several root canals by him, and about $ 3,000 spent), he would ask if I had a history of issues getting numb, only after giving me multiple shots and me not getting numb. YES! For god’s sake, somebody write it in my file or something, it happens every time, and every time it’s like a big surprise. Aside from many painful experiences, I’ve also had to wait in the chair for extended periods of time. He over schedules. I would finally get numb, and then he wouldn’t be back forever, the numbness would wear off and he’d have to give more shots.
The last straw was when I went in for a filling. The place was packed and he was rushing. He came in to numb me after an assistant didn’t quite get me numb enough. He didn’t have an assistant present. He hit that large nerve that dentists are supposed to avoid in the back of my mouth. This causes the adrenaline in the anesthetic to flood your system faster, making your heart race and causing dizziness. It was so frightening and I had waited so long I said I needed to leave. The assistant came in and said she wished he wouldn’t do those procedures without an assistant present. They gave me a whitening kit for my trouble. Gee thanks. I had to find a dentist that specializes in people with fear of dentistry for the frightening experiences Dr. Busch gave me. And the new dentist has no problem getting my mouth numb. Do yourself a favor, go to someone who writes your experience history/​health issues down and doesn’t rush. He only cares about aesthetics, the newest technologies, and not your comfort. He needs to work on the fundamentals more.

The last couple of years i’ve come to know the people at NKC Dental very well.
I am never left waiting very long for my appointment and often i am greeted by Hi Bob– come right back immediately after i enter the office.
I am currently under Dr. VanYperen“s care for a troublesome infection but he is very knowledgeable and doesn’t talk down to me and explains exactly what is going on and what i can expect and i really appreciate that attitude from anyone, but especially from a doctor.
12−7−15.
The tooth problem i mentioned turned into a major situation. I ended up having it extracted and opted for a bridge because the extraction left such a big space in my mouth.
Dr. VanYperen did an excellant job– he has now done about every major work on my mouth that is possible– but everything is okay now. It’s nice not to have to be referred to another doctor-​like for the extraction.

Enjoy seeing the same faces and being treated great! I actually look forward to going to the dentist!

we loved this place! Definitely recommend! Everyone is so nice. They are so high tech and are up to date with everything ex: watching tv while getting your teeth cleaned.
The doctor even showed up quick for his part rather than other places I’ve had to wait 20 min or so. We traveled 35 minutes to come to this dentist, and we would do it all over again. Thank you!

Had a very painful tooth that had split and become infected. They took very good care of me and seemed incredibly knowledgable. The entire thing was basically painless and over in under two hours.
Not to mention the free juice and all the gizmos.

Awesome Dentist and Staff!
One of the first things I heard about this practice was The Dentist started a benevolent organization (Team Smile). I liked that as a giving and caring Dentist is refreshing and welcome. Who wants a dentist that has the attitude of nothing for free and I want your money in my pocket now? May God bless this man for his good deeds.
Of course before believing these things I sought out Sheikh Google… Here’s what I found
Alas he is a man of benevolence!
Having been a nurse for 30+ years I was also excited to find this…
I found it delightful to see the benevolence of one being blessed with such an awesome find! You go Doc! Pray your Scrub sales skyrocket!
Sheikh Google also led me to some great articles the Doc wrote…
Why is this important? It shows that Doc stays abreast of new findings and latest technology. Thus we have a brighter better smile thanks to his research! BTW… never utilize any medical professional that does not evolve… Could mean your life! Yes, Your life. I had a patient that did not have a good dental provider. He developed complications and an infection. The infection tunneled went into the brain and he died. Mouth care is VITAL for good health.
More about the Doc and his group:
The office hours are flexible. (He even offered to come in on a Saturday for a toothache!)
The office is off a major Highway.
The staff and Doc stay abreast of current dental care and they share the info.
They teach preventive dentistry rather than offer a lollipop. (I was always taken back by Dentist with candy…“She you next visit” Yeah right! What they really should say is, See you as soon as my gifted lollipop starts rotting your pearly whites.) From my research I learned that not only does Doc attend continuing ed, he also teaches it! Whoot whoot, hangin with the pro I am! The office is top notch and VERY clean. The Doc and staff practice great sterile/​clean technique. (Yes, I do watch and I don’t miss ANYTHING! So far they all pass with flying colors!)
Anyhow, enough about this bloke and his staff. I did my research and made the decision to use Dr Busch and his staff for my dental care. I have not regretted it once. I hope this review helps you. If you decide to not use this group PLEASE research well. As a nurse of so many years I can tell you. Just because they have a license doesn’t mean they’re good.

Awesome staff and Doctors. I had a crown done in less than 2 hours and left with the permanent crown in place, no second appointment was needed. It looks just like my natural tooth and feels great. Everyone was so professional and friendly and Dr. Busch and Dr. VanYperen know what they are doing.

Holy Smokes!
First of all I must say that my wife hates dentists… truly hates them and gets anxious thinking about the dentist office. Dr. Busch my wife doesn’t want to relocate because she is going to miss her Dentist! You have such a cool calmness to you that relaxes my wife. You are on the cutting edge of all dental technology! Seriously, just the other day my wife asked me if we could afford to fly you to Indianapolis where we are relocating to because she is convinced she will never find another like you. Thank you for your kindness and your hospitality both personally and that which you instill in your staff. You all understand customer service and what drives loyalty.

Thanks to a Groupon, the BF and I made an appointment to get our teeth whitened last week. The people at NKC Dental Group are incredibly friendly! Due to the high volume of Groupon appointments they were receiving, they opened their office so we could come in on a Friday (when they are normally closed.) How thoughtful is that!
To keep their paperwork down to a minimum, they have you fill out online forms. That means you can get the «paper» work done ahead of time and we’re not killing trees. I was very impressed with their streamlined process.
We arrived about 15 minutes late (including the 5 minutes of talking to the police officer who pulled us over for speeding), but we finally got there and the staff couldn’t be nicer. Despite our tardiness and the fact that they had to work on their day off, they welcomed us in, set us in our chairs and got to business! Again, no unnecessary paperwork and clipboards to fuss with!
You get the feeling they’ve done this at least 4,673 times. They knew exactly how to make you comfortable. You’re given a notebook and a pen to write down any thoughts, questions, or concerns. They gave each of us a couple Advils to take before the procedure if we wanted. And let’s just say that if they ask if you want Advil, you’re gonna want Advil. Each chair has its own flat-​screen TV with its own cable receiver, so you can sit back, ignore the aches and watch Food Network (on a Friday at 1:30pm, there is nothing but soaps and kids shows). Each chair also doubles as a back massager! No joke. The chair had those rolling «shiatsu» massagers built in.
The Zoom! teeth whitening procedure is not for the weak. I really had no idea what I was going in for. They were incredibly professional in that they didn’t sugar-​coat the description of the procedure. They were thorough in explaining what sensations you’re going to feel and that you have the option of stopping it at any time. I’m not a fan of painful surprises, so the fact that they gave it to me straight prepared me for my procedure.
I would love to be a regular client of NKC Dental Group, but I like my current dentist so much that I wouldn’t want to cheat on him. He doesn’t do orthodontics, so perhaps I may meet with NKC once again sometime.
