About River Market Dental
Steps from the KC streetcar line, this downtown practice pairs 3D-imaging-based Invisalign consultations with an exposed-brick, tech-forward office.
River Market Dental is a general dental practice near downtown Kansas City that also offers Invisalign, traditional braces, clear aligners, TMJ treatment, and retainers. Reviews note the streetcar-adjacent location and walkability for downtown workers and residents as a practical draw, and many mention 3D imaging used to explain treatment options and costs before work begins. The office itself, an exposed-brick space with music and distraction screens, comes up often as calming, and Dr. Esther Lee is frequently described as gentle and thorough with anxious patients. A handful of reviews describe billing disputes or a pushy billing staff member, which is worth noting alongside the largely positive comments.

I had my first visit to River Market Dental today, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The entire staff was warm, welcoming, friendly, and attentive, making me feel comfortable the moment I walked in. The doctor was knowledgeable, professional, and took the time to explain everything clearly. A special thank you to my hygienist, Ashlyn Rhodes, who was absolutely amazing. She was thorough, gentle, personable, and made what is usually a routine appointment a genuinely pleasant experience. It’s refreshing to find a dental practice that combines professionalism with such exceptional patient care. I highly recommend River Market Dental to anyone looking for a first-class dental experience. Five stars!

everyone at River Market Dental was super nice and professional, they explained everything really nice and straightforward!! i felt comfortable the whole time and didn’t experience any issues at all!! i don’t have insurance but their Membership Savings Club was reasonably priced and saved me a ton in savings especially for later visits, will definitely be taking advantage of the included cleanings and discounted fillings. they were also super helpful in explaining the price of everything and the itemized list was very helpful !! looking forward to my next visit and seeing all the wonderful staff again :)
Jessica had me at hello😊 as I walked in…nothing but friendly, informative, professional faces and voices…Kelly could have been my little sister and the good Dr. Lesher made me feel as if I could take on the world - once my teeth are fixed that is!
