Holistic Dentistry
As a holistic dental practice, the entire team at Dentistry by Shane Nelson, DDS in Overland Park, KS is devoted to providing patients with safe and effective oral health care that incorporates modern technology and scientific advances with natural healing principles. A key component of holistic, or biocompatible, dentistry is understanding the connection between disease of the mouth and a person’s overall health. For example, research has shown that gum disease is linked to an array of serious diseases such as strokes, heart attacks, and more.
Mercury Safe Removal
For many decades, dentists have used mercury amalgam as a material to fill cavities. However, health-minded patients may be concerned about the potentially toxic effects of these materials in their mouths. At Dentistry by Shane Nelson, patients in Overland Park, Leawood, Olathe, Lenexa, Mission, and the surrounding KS communities can rely on Dr. Nelson for safe mercury removal.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Most people have something about their smile that they would like to improve, whether it is the color of their teeth, their bite, the appearance of their gums, or the shape, size, or position of their teeth. At Dentistry by Shane Nelson, patients in the Overland Park, KS area can benefit from a wide array of cosmetic dentistry services so they can feel confident flashing their smile to friends, family, coworkers, and even strangers walking down the street.
TMJ treatments
Temporomandibular disorders, or TMD, are complex – yet common – issues that can arise with the joints that connect your jaw to your head and can cause a wide variety of painful and unpleasant symptoms. With gneuromuscular (GNM) dentistry, Dr. Shane Nelson can restore balance to your head and neck muscles, joints, and nerves so you can get TMJ pain relief.
Fountain of Youth Dentures

With Fountain of Youth® dentures at Dentistry by Shane Nelson, patients in the Overland Park, KS area can replace lost teeth, turn back the clock on their appearance, and get back to smiling with their friends and eating the foods they love.
