A composite filling is a tooth-colored plastic and glass mixture used to restore decayed teeth. Composites are also used for cosmetic improvements of the smile by changing the color of the teeth or reshaping disfigured teeth.

Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth — and Dr. Wenburg has the advanced training to place them right here in Kansas City. As a residency-trained implant dentist, he has completed hundreds of implant procedures for patients across the KC metro. Implants look, feel, and function like natural teeth, and with proper care, they can last a lifetime. Most cases can be handled entirely in our Plaza office. Call to schedule a free implant consultation.

Veneers are ultra-thin shells of ceramic (porcelain) or a composite resin material, which are bonded to the front of teeth. This procedure can be the ideal choice for improving the appearance of the front teeth. Veneers are placed to mask discolorations, to brighten teeth, and to improve a smile.

Dr. Wenburg is a certified Invisalign provider serving patients in Kansas City. Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners — no metal wires, no brackets — to gradually straighten your smile. Treatment typically takes 12–24 months, and most patients see noticeable changes within a few weeks. It's the most discreet way to straighten your teeth, and you can remove them to eat and brush normally. Schedule an Invisalign consultation at our Country Club Plaza office.

Dentures consist of a dental prosthesis that replaces the natural dentition and associated structures of the maxilla or mandible. It can be supported solely by the mucosa; its underlying bone or dental implants can be added to help retain the denture or even make it completely fixed in your mouth.

Dr. Wenburg has completed thousands of extractions, including infected and broken teeth along with wisdom teeth. Many extractions can be completed in the office with local anesthetic and techniques to ensure your comfort.

A root canal is a procedure done to save the damaged or dead pulp in the root canal of the tooth by cleaning out the diseased pulp and reshaping the canal. The canal is filled with a rubber-like substance called gutta–percha to prevent recontamination of the tooth. The tooth is then permanently sealed, with possibly a post and/or a crown made of porcelain or metal alloy. This enables patients to keep the original tooth.

Professional teeth whitening is one of the fastest ways to transform your smile. Whether you have a wedding, reunion, or job interview coming up — or you simply want to feel more confident every day — Dr. Wenburg offers in-office and take-home whitening options that deliver noticeably whiter teeth safely and quickly. Results that over-the-counter products simply can't match. Ask about whitening at your next appointment.
