Meet Dr. Cattaneo

Dr. Kevin Cattaneo

Dr. Cattaneo has been practicing dentistry in Prairie Village, Kansas, since 1999. After earning dual degrees in biology and Spanish from the University of Kansas, he attended the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Dentistry.  He enjoys practicing where he grew up and enjoys providing care to people who have known him or his family for many years. 

Dr. Cattaneo grew up in a family of healthcare professionals.  His father, Dr. Ernest A Cattaneo, practiced internal medicine for over 40 years but is now retired.  At one point both of them practiced in the same office building in Prairie Village.  Dr. Cattaneo always wants to provide the best and most appropriate dental care to all of his patients. 

In terms of continuing education, Dr. Cattanneo is very selective. He attends what he feels to be the best courses or topics to expand his knowledge.  He enjoys the lectures provided by the American Academy of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons and the American Academy of Osseointergration. These are some of the best organizations to study under when it comes to implant dentistry. 

Dr. Cattaneo also enjoys helping patients that are referred to him with headaches/migraines and TMJ pain/dysfunction. Patients are amazed what they learn about trigger point therapy and bite appliance therapy. 

When not at the office, Dr. Cattaneo enjoys being with his family and friends. Spending time outdoors is also important to him. No matter what the weather holds, Dr. Cattaneo can be found hiking in the cold, camping in the heat, or fishing with his kids.

Dr. Cattaneo is happy to practice where he grew up, and his office is always open to new patients and referrals.
