“Great dentist. Great team. Great facility in downtown Kansas City.”

Smile. Naturally.
Dental Services
Our highest priority is preserving our patients’ natural teeth whenever possible. This can be accomplished through many preventive and restorative procedures. Cutting edge cosmetic treatments can also be utilized to give patients the smile that they have always wanted.
Dental Cleanings
Proper oral hygiene is essential for healthy teeth and gums. At Kristopher Bruso DDS our friendly, highly trained hygienists will gently remove stain, bacteria, plaque and tartar buildup from the surface of your teeth. Preventative dental care increases the likelihood of good lifetime oral health and a beautiful smile.
Dental Technology
From digital X-rays to oral scanners to the exclusive use of the top dental laboratories in Kansas City, Dr. Bruso and his team have invested in world class technology. The appropriate dental technology tools make a difference including more precise and comfortable dentistry that is conservative and minimally invasive. Read more about our quality tech.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry is both an art and a science, and we have worked hard over many years to master both aspects. Fabulous teeth are essential for looking younger, healthier, successful and confident. We can help you achieve your best smile. We would love to visit with you about veneers, crowns, invisalign, implants and more.
Gentle Care
We want our patients to be confident and comfortable throughout their treatment. Our careful attention to detail instills trust and relieves anxiety about going to the dentist. Your comfort is always our highest priority.
