Lakewood Dental isn’t a corporate dental chain. It’s a single-location practice built on the principle that the best dental care happens when a dentist actually knows you — your history, your anxiety level, your kids’ names, and which side of your mouth gave you trouble three years ago.
Dr. Matt A. Niewald, DDS, is a UMKC School of Dentistry graduate who has practiced in Lee’s Summit for over a decade. He and his team have completed more than 1,000 implant restorations and serve more than 5,000 active patients across Jackson County. Those aren’t marketing numbers — they’re the reason our schedule stays full and our patients keep coming back.
Dr. Niewald earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the UMKC School of Dentist in 2001.. He has practiced in Lee’s Summit for over a decade, building a clinical focus on comprehensive restorative and cosmetic dentistry alongside the full-family preventative care that has always been the foundation of this practice.
In that time, he has completed more than 1,000 implant restorations — a figure that reflects not just volume, but the range of cases that come with it. Straightforward single-tooth replacements. Full-arch restorations for patients who had avoided dentistry for years. Cases requiring bone grafts before placement could proceed. Cases where the first implant didn’t integrate and had to be replaced. Each of those outcomes taught something that benefits the next patient.
Dr. Niewald’s clinical approach starts with one principle: preserve the natural tooth whenever possible. Every treatment recommendation — from a crown to an extraction — is filtered through that lens first.

Most dental practices list every procedure they offer and call it a services page. We’d rather explain how we think.
Our clinical approach has one rule: save the natural tooth whenever possible. That shapes everything — from how we plan a crown to whether we recommend extraction. It’s why our restoration work focuses on precision fit and material longevity, not the fastest path to a completed procedure.
We offer comprehensive care across four practice areas:
Lee’s Summit is not short on dentists. We know that. What we hear from new patients — consistently — is that they came for the reviews and stayed because of the experience.
“They actually get to know you” is the phrase that shows up in our reviews more than any other. That’s not accidental. Dr. Niewald calls patients after complex procedures to check in. Our hygienists have been with the practice long enough to remember which patients need extra time and which ones want to get in and out. That continuity is hard to manufacture and impossible to replicate at a high-volume practice.
Our office is on NE Anderson Lane. Dr. Niewald lives in the community, not just works in it. He serves as a clinical volunteer for Special Smiles, providing oral health screenings for Special Olympics athletes in Missouri. His investment in this community goes beyond the hours posted on our door.
We don’t use phrases like ‘state-of-the-art’ without being specific about what that means. Here is what it means at Lakewood Dental:
We are currently accepting new patients across all age groups. If you’re coming from another practice, we’ll request your records and review your history before your first appointment so we’re not starting from zero.
We accept most major dental insurance plans. For patients without insurance or with out-of-pocket balances, we offer CareCredit financing and work with you to phase treatment in a way that makes sense financially. Ask our front desk about our current new patient offers.
Lakewood Dental works closely together as a team. With many years of experience, they have the specialized training necessary to prevent, diagnose, and treat your dental conditions. They stay current on the latest advances in research and treatment so you know you’ll get the most advanced care available anywhere.
At Lakewood Dental, our top priority is making our patients comfortable in our office. We understand that dental appointments can be a source of anxiety for some patients.
With this in mind, we offer sedation to ease your discomfort and make your visits easier. Before certain procedures, you may also have the option of using nitrous oxide (laughing gas).
Going to the dentist shouldn’t have to be scary or painful. At Lakewood Dental, our team stays up to date on the latest tools, technologies, and procedures to make your oral care straightforward and comfortable.
Your satisfaction is important to us. From the moment you walk through our doors, we want you and your family to feel right at home at the Lakewood family dental office.
