Dr. Scott’s distinctive practice style is anchored by the Golden Rule: "I strive to treat each patient the same way I would treat myself, or a member of my family. It’s an approach that inspires sincerity, respect, excellent service and outstanding results – our patients expect and deserve the best possible care."
For more than 20 years, hundreds of patients have placed their trust in the highly-skilled hands of Dr. Scott – and for good reason. They know they’ll be treated like family and that they’ll have access to a full range of dental health services – from the most basic cleaning to the most advanced treatments and therapies available. Dr. Scott is dedicated to improving mouth and teeth function as well as their form.
After graduating from the University of Kansas in 1984 with a degree in cell biology, Dr. Scott pursued dentistry at University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Dentistry.
His passion for health and dentistry propelled him to pursue advanced studies in dental sleep medicine, a new discipline of dentistry that offers treatment for sleep disorders including snoring and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Research has shown that OSA can lead to several serious health conditions including hypertension, coronary heart disease and stroke. Using specialized therapeutic appliances, Dr. Scott helps patients significantly reduce and sometimes eliminate disruptive sleep disorders.
"Approximately 67 percent of adults snore," says Dr. Scott. "Close to 20 percent suffer from sleep apnea. Oral appliance therapy can dramatically improve patients’ overall health and quality of sleep."
Dr. Scott's memberships and distinctions include the American Dental Association, Kansas Dental Association – Delegate (1995-present), Fifth District Dental Society of Johnson County – member and Past President, American Academy of Sleep Medicine, International College of Dentists (Elected), Dental Abstract Study Club – Past President, elected into Omicron Kappa Upsilon Honorary Dental Fraternity and the William S. Kramer Award of Excellence.
Dr. Scott and his wife, Jennifer, have one daughter, Kristen. Dr. Scott, an avid college sports fan (especially the Jayhawks), enjoys bicycling, staying fit, cooking, gardening and really just about anything involving the beautiful outdoors.
