Joyful Dentistry for Kids, formerly Jenkins Dentistry for Kids, marks an exciting new chapter for a practice built around making dental care a positive, joyful experience for children and families. For more than 20 years, Dr. Jill Jenkins, DDS, has built a reputation for patient-centered pediatric dental care, creating an environment where children feel comfortable, confident, and even excited about visiting the dentist. The Joyful name reflects the heart of that approach while representing the continued growth of the practice. Along with its established Shawnee and Lenexa locations, Joyful Dentistry for Kids is expanding to Overland Park and Olathe, allowing
the team to care for even more families across the Kansas City area.
Dr. Jenkins is proud to lead a talented team of pediatric dentists who share her commitment to compassionate, individualized care, including Dr. Dharti Gandhi, Dr. Benjamin Olson, Dr. Jaime Stinnett, and Dr. Alex O’Connor. Dr. Stinnett and her team join Joyful at the Overland Park location, formerly Pinnacle Pediatric Dentistry. In Olathe, Joyful is honored to continue the legacy of Dr. John Fales and Fales Pediatric Dentistry as Dr. Fales steps into retirement, with Dr. O’Connor stepping in to care primarily for Olathe families.
Across all four locations, the mission remains the same: creating positive dental experiences that build confidence and healthy habits for life. With advanced pediatric training, modern technology, kid-friendly environments, and a growing team, Joyful Dentistry for Kids is bringing more joy, more access, and more ways to care for Kansas City families.
