Day care building converted into dental office

A large turnout greeted the grand opening today for Dr. Steven Pendleton’s dental office at 9000 State Ave., Kansas City, Kan.

Clients, family, employees and friends were present for the ribbon-cutting, along with the Kansas City Area Chamber of Commerce, Unified Government Commissioner Melissa Bynum, J.D. Rios of the Kansas City Kansas Community College Board of Trustees, and KCKCC President Doris Givens. Also present was Dr. Pendleton’s mother, Linda Pendleton.

The building, which formerly housed the Tots and Tales preschool, was renovated and converted into dental offices, Dr. Pendleton told the group.

Dr. Pendleton, a native of Kansas City, Kan., has practiced dentistry here for 18 years. He is a graduate of Harmon High School, KCKCC and the University of Missouri at Kansas City.

The contractor for the renovated building was Greg Douglas, and the architect for the renovated building was Guy Gronberg. All labor was local, according to Dr. Pendleton.

Daniel Silva, executive director of the Chamber of Commerce, introduced the guests at the ribbon-cutting.

“Your story is the story of so many people in Wyandotte County,” said Bynum, who was serving as mayor pro tem today. “Not only are you bringing your professional services to more and more people, you are keeping them here in Wyandotte County.”

  1. This is awesome. I used to go to Dr. Pendleton when I lived in Ks. I went to school with him as well. I will be taking my 2 yr grandson to him soon. Good luck.
