John P. Roth, DDS
Dr. Roth is an orthodontic specialist, which means, after completing his Doctorate of Dental Surgery degree, at University of Missouri – Kansas City; he spent an additional two years studying and practicing orthodontics exclusively to become an orthodontist.
Dr. Roth completed a degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Missouri-Columbia in 1996. He married that same year. He and his wife Susie moved to the Kansas City area for a job at Burns and McDonnell. He worked as a mechanical engineer for a couple of years and could not shake the desire to work with patients and families in the field of dentistry. So in the fall of 1999, Dr. Roth returned to being a full-time student. Three children and four years later, Dr. Roth graduated from UMKC – School of Dentistry first in his class. He developed an aptitude and love for orthodontics throughout dental school. His mechanical engineering degree only strengthened his knowledge about orthodontics.
Dr. Roth finished his orthodontic specialty in the fall of 2005. It was a long road but worth every minute. He opened his doors in Shawnee, Kansas in the late fall of the same year. Since then his hard work and dedication to excellence in treatment and customer service has enabled him to open two satellite locations. He opened a Piper and Lansing location in the beginning of 2009.
Dr. Roth continues to look to the future to build a practice where patients feel comfortable and happy. He believes the only way to treat a patient is to treat them as they are family. He vows to keep a personal experience for each patient even as he continues to grow the practice.
