If you're dealing with a cracked tooth or ongoing dental issues like tooth decay and discoloration, a crown may be the right solution for you. At Wakarusa Family Dental in Lawrence KS, we want you to be informed about your options for dental crowns. Below you'll find the most frequently asked questions regarding dental crowns, which are a great option for repairing or replacing teeth and regaining the full function of your former teeth or tooth.
Tooth extractions may be necessary for a myriad of reasons including an emergency tooth injury, wisdom teeth removal, ongoing and unaddressed tooth pain, failed root canals, and severely decayed teeth. Together with our dentist, you may determine that you need to remove a tooth. Teeth extractions may also be desirable if you have advanced gum disease, or have broken a tooth in a manner that it isn't able to be repaired.
We also will need to see your photo id, and your current insurance card. It is your responsibility to ensure Wakarusa Family Dental, Dr. Jason Edwards, is a contracted provider of your insurance before you come in. If you have been told by your doctor that you need to pre-medicate with an antibiotic before you have your teeth cleaned - please let us know.
We are so happy you have found us. Please request an appointment here or contact us. Our experienced team of dental professionals will have you and your Lawrence Kansas family on the road to healthy beautiful smiles. We can work with your busy lifestyle and get you the appointment that fits your schedule.

The entire staff is so welcoming and so professional. From calling to book an appointment, checking in, teeth cleaning for the whole family- our hygienist remembers little things about the kids and makes them feel more comfortable. Dr Edwards is so great with the kids during procedures and always has their best interest. 10/10 🤩.

I love this place! I have been going here for years. I am terrified of the dentist and they make me comfortable and listen to me. Cris does an amazing job and has become a friend over the years. Dr.Kelley is more than just a doctor checking the box, he is welcoming and treats his patients like friends. I’m glad he decided not to retire yet! 😊

We have been using Wakarusa Dental for > 10 years. They are always prompt, clean, and willing to accommodate us if we have scheduling conflicts. The staff is always kind, considerate and provide great communication. Would recommend them for dental needs.

At my last dentist office, I could tell my teeth weren't getting cleaned well. They were rushing my cleaning, probably so that they could squeeze in as many patients as possible. So I decided to try out Wakarusa Family Dental. Now after each visit, my teeth have that wonderful smooth feeling again. And everyone is really nice.

I always have a positive experience at this office, Dr. Edwards is very kind and explains everything so well! Dyana is my hygienist and I really look forward to seeing her every 6 months. She’s very thorough and gentle and I always leave with a smile! Highly recommend this dental practice for anyone looking for quality care.

Wakarusa Family Dental is amazing! I went to them because I'd heard good things about them being kind/gentle to people with a fear of dental work, and that was so true. The hygienist noticed my nervous body language just sitting in the waiting room and made sure to ask me if I was OK and how she could help me be comfortable. There was no shaming for not having been to the dentist in a few years while I had not had dental insurance. When they found three cavities they could tell how nervous the idea of getting them filled made me and offered nitrous oxide, which was a big help. Dr. Edwards and the

I’ve been going to this office for years and I love them! They are friendly, thorough, efficient and honest. I don’t question when the dentist says I need something (or I don’t). My previous dentist (years ago) would tell me I needed something every single time and it was a money thing. Not Wakarusa Dental!! Cris is my hygienist and she is wonderful! Great front desk staff and Lori the office manager is great as well. Couldn’t be happier and highly recommend!

I have been going to Wakarusa Fanily Dental for years! Leah is my hygienist and she is professional and welcoming every time I come in! I am even able to bring my two kiddos in a pinch and it seems that everyone in the office is helpful and happy to see us! Going to the dentist has never been fun for me, but I do love this office and they have definitely changed my outlook on my visits! I have a great experience every time!
