Morningstar Dental has moved to

Garden City, KS!

A Warm Farewell and Exciting New Beginnings

THANK YOU, OVERLAND PARk - HELLO, GARDEN CITY!

After 18 memorable years of serving the community of Overland Park, it was time for a change. With mixed emotions, I have made the decision to sell my Overland Park practice to purchase Stasch Dental in Garden City, KS.

This decision comes with the exciting news that Dr. Julianna Ervin, D.D.S. will be taking over the care of my patients in Overland Park. Dr. Ervin has an impressive background and shared values in patient care. I am confident that she will continue to provide the high standard of dental care you have come to expect and deserve.

As I turn the page to this new chapter in Garden City, I want to express my deepest gratitude to every patient, colleague, and friend I have had the privilege of meeting in Overland Park. Your trust, support, and smiles have been the highlight of my career, and I carry those cherished memories with me as I embark on this new journey.

In Garden City, I am thrilled to continue providing exceptional dental care, bringing with me the experience, passion, and patient-first philosophy that have always been at the heart of my practice. While I may be changing locations, my commitment to your oral health and well-being remains stronger than ever.

To my patients in Overland Park, I say thank you from the bottom of my heart for the opportunity to have been a part of your lives. I invite you to continue your dental care journey with Dr. Ervin, who I trust will care for you with the same level of dedication and excellence.

For my current and future patients in Garden City, I look forward to meeting you, serving you, and being a part of this incredible community. Together, we will continue to smile brightly, embracing the future with optimism and health.

With sincere gratitude and best wishes,

Dr. James P. Lucero, D.D.S.

FEATURED SERVICES

  • If you're longing to enjoy your favorite foods, enhance your chewing ability, and boost your appearance, speech, and self-confidence despite missing one or more teeth, dental implants offer an ideal solution. A dental implant serves as a replacement for the root of a missing tooth, meticulously crafted from surgical-grade titanium alloy (Ti 6Al-4V ELI) to precise standards.

    Whether immediately following tooth loss or after a period of time, the implant is skillfully placed into the jawbone. In cases of insufficient bone, various bone-enhancing procedures can be undertaken prior to implant placement. An abutment, serving as a foundation for a prosthetic tooth replacement like a crown, is then inserted into the implant either during placement or after a healing period.

    In the past, dentists relied on treatments like root canals, bridges, and dentures to preserve or replace teeth. However, these methods often fell short, with root canal treatments failing, bridges necessitating the reduction of healthy adjacent teeth, and dentures proving to be unstable and requiring adhesives. Dental implants address these challenges head-on, eliminating many of the issues associated with natural teeth, including the risk of dental decay. Experience the transformative benefits of dental implants and rediscover the joy of a confident smile and effortless functionality.

  • Experience the future of dental care at Morningstar Dental, where you can achieve a full tooth replacement in just one visit! Our streamlined procedures typically last only 90 minutes, offering unmatched convenience and efficiency.

    Morningstar crowns are engineered to deliver the same level of effectiveness and reliability as traditional crowns, but with a significantly less invasive and more comfortable process. Say goodbye to the inconvenience of multiple appointments and temporary crowns.

    Utilizing cutting-edge digital imaging technology, we ensure precise design and application while minimizing the removal of tooth structure. Once the digital image is captured, our in-house equipment swiftly crafts a custom-made crown in minutes, eliminating the need for follow-up appointments.

    Discover the advantages of a tooth restoration that not only looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth but also provides unparalleled convenience and comfort. Choose Morningstar Dental for your next crown procedure and experience the difference firsthand.

no insurance, no problem!

We understand that not everyone has access to dental insurance, and we believe that everyone should have access to quality dental care. That's why we're proud to offer an in-house payment plan for those who don't have dental insurance. We know that dental procedures can be expensive, and we want to make sure that our patients have the opportunity to receive the care they need without financial burden. Our payment plan allows patients to break down the cost of their treatment into manageable monthly payments, so they can focus on their dental health without worrying about the cost.

We believe that everyone deserves a healthy smile, and our in-house payment plan is just one way we're working to make that possible for all of our patients.

  • If you do not have traditional dental insurance we are here to help!
