As a patient with terrible dentistry anxiety, I really did not want to go to see a dentist let alone a new one... No worries again as long as he is my dentist. Great job Dr. Duensing!!! Thank you.

More about Dr. William M. Duensing, DDS
Dr. Duensing grew up in Kansas City North and graduated from St. Pius X High School. In 2003 he graduated from The University of Kansas with a degree in evolutionary biology and genetics. In 2008 he received his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from The University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Dentistry. After graduation he served as a staff general dentist in the United States Navy for 4 years with tours in South Carolina and Okinawa, Japan. After leaving the Navy he joined his father at Duensing Family Dentistry in 2012.
"A career in dentistry was an easy choice for me to make after college. I am proud to have had the opportunity to serve my country in the United States Navy as a general dentist. While in the Navy I had the privilege of learning from and working right beside some of the brightest minds in dentistry today. I am honored and humbled to join my father, Dr. William J. Duensing Jr. at the dental practice started almost 60 years ago by my grandfather Dr. William J. Duensing Sr. I am pleased to bring my clinical experience, knowledge and abilities back home to the community where I was raised. I look forward to working for the families and the community of the Kansas City Northland."

Nobody ever looks to go to the dentist for a good time. I really appreciate the dental assistant at this office. She is very professional and personable. The office is pretty small and a little outdated. But the dentist and his assistant are usually quick to get me comfortable and get the bad parts over with as soon as possible.

Awesome. He is so kind, patient and caring. Can imagine that there is a better dentist. Already had two friends make appointments with him.
October 23, 2014Melannie M.Verified patient
Like a lot of people, going to the dentist terrified me so I put off going for a while and as a result I had a mouthful of cavities. Dr Duensing and his staff were so amazing, caring, and truly took the time to staunch my fears and explain my options in a manner that eased my anxiety. Now I don't even feel butterflies when I go in for my appointments, even when I know I'm getting cavities filled.
