I was blown away by the star treatment I received by Dr Kirby Kavanaugh and her excellent team. I only wish i had gone to them sooner. No other dentist has come close to making me feel this comfortable. I’m no longer petrified to visit the dentist.

I absolutely love these people. Every visit is personal and friendly. They are thorough and quick. My most recent visit I was in-and-out in under 45 minutes - and that included x-rays!

Dr Kirby Kavanaugh has been my dentist for about the past 15 years and would recommend her to anyone that was looking for a new dentist. Her staff is absolutely wonderful as well. The office environment is very calm/peaceful and positive, while being professional too.

I literally had the best experience. I told them what I wanted to do with my teeth and they gave me every possible option and left the decision up to me but did strongly suggest which one they thought would be best for me. Got a plan of action going. It was quick, simple to understand, and got it all done efficiently. I used them for a second opinion Because I had a feeling that The first dentist I went to was just trying to sell me some thing I didn’t need, after hearing all the options I had I realized zona rosa had what was best for me.

Once again I had the opportunity of being taken care of by Dr Kirby Kavanaugh. My experience was just as great as the last time. I just think every other dentist office should close down for good, because this woman and her staff is amazing. Everybody make appointment now cause she will be booked up to 2025. Thank you for making each time a wonderful experience ladies. 💖

I've been a patient of Dr. Kavanaugh for 20+ years. No one enjoys going to the dentist but I've always found Dr. Kavanaugh and her staff to be pleasant and efficient.

My husband and I just had our first visits today. We needed a new dentist after moving here from St. Louis. We both were pleased with our care. We were scheduled for our appointments quickly and had no problem with a long wait. The office is modern and clean. The staff was friendly and helpful. We both liked this experience better than our previous dentist of 20 years. Barb did a great job explaining what she was doing and the doctor was very friendly as well.

Yep, have to admit it, I came here for the hygienist. Had been at my previous dentist for the better part of 20 years and I found out she moved here. So like some other reviews have said that’s what brought me here. Geez I just thought as I’m typing this, I hope she wasn’t trying to get away from us,,,, just kidding Barb. The place is very clean,… new equipment and it turns out Dr. Kirby is the daughter of both my sons orthodontist that did their braces. Shout out to Dr Ed Kavenaugh . Wasn’t a real exciting first visit seeing how I had a broken tooth root pulled out

Everyone was especially patient with my son who has autism. He was recalcitrant and unhappy about having his work schedule interfered with for a dental exam. We came to your office 6 months ago after he started refusing to go to our other dentist due to heavy handedness. He is fine coming to you all....now we have an early appointment set for next time and that satisfies him. Thank you all very very much! You are all terrific.

A high school sports injury caused my daughter 4 years of intense oral surgeries and procedures. Thanks to Dr. Kirby and Dr. Michael Lowe, they gave my beautiful daughter her beautiful smile back! Have to give… a shout out to the Dr.'s who referred us to Dr. Kirby....Dr. Kent Keethler and Dr. Altomare with a twist of Dr. Kurt Kavanaugh ! Thank you so much

I am a retired dental hygienist. I retired from a very high quality dental office on the west coast and expect that level of perfection as the standard care.

I was referred to Dr Kavanaugh by sister when I arrived at her home in Kansas City with a dental issue on my way to retire in Florida.

Dr. Kavanaugh's staff worked me into her schedule, at a good time for MY schedule, and carefully explained why each step of my treatment was required.

I can not say enough good things about Dr. Kavanaugh and the care I received. I highly recommend this office!
