Dr. Steven P. Gish, DDS

Root canals aren’t the kind of appointment most people look forward to, but finding a specialist who handles them routinely can make the process far less daunting. Dr. Steven P. Gish, DDS operates an endodontic practice in Leawood, where the focus is solely on diagnosing tooth pain and performing procedures like root canal therapy, endodontic retreatment, and treatment for dental trauma. The office sits just off 114th Street, tucked into a professional suite on Ash Street—a quiet corner of the city where medical offices blend seamlessly with the suburban landscape. Unlike general dentists, endodontists like Gish complete additional years of training to specialize in the intricate work of saving natural teeth, which often means more precise techniques and a deeper understanding of complex cases.

Leawood’s mix of residential neighborhoods and commercial hubs makes it a practical location for a practice that serves patients from across the Kansas City metro. Anyone needing to schedule a consultation or follow-up can reach the office directly at (913) 491-5552, where the staff coordinates appointments for everything from routine root canals to emergency care after dental injuries. For first-time visitors, the easiest way to pinpoint the suite is by pulling up directions—the building’s layout is typical of the area’s professional complexes, with clear signage once you arrive.
