I had my crown put in yesterday and it was easy and pain free! The best dentist and team in KC! Dr Dan and his team are the best!

Birdie
Dog
Birdie was born in Olathe, KS before being adopted and relocating to Fairway, KS in the summer of 2020. She put in numerous hours of hard work training in the home and at various classes to obtain her “Canine Good Citizen” certificate from the American Kennel Club in the spring of 2021. She officially joined the Sunnybrook Dental team shortly after this, as our hired mascot and friendly greeter of patients. Her calm demeanor, excitement for meeting new people, and unequivocally soft fur coat made her the perfect pup for the job. When she’s not being petted by our patients or our other team members at the office, you can find Birdie watching “The Office,” fetching balls, or excelling in marathon naps at her home. She also enjoys her regular play-dates at BarKC with her litter-mates.
Meet the Dentists
Dan Bednarczyk
DDS
Beginnings
Before his family days, Dr. Dan studied at the University of Kansas for his undergraduate degree in genetics and then remained in Lawrence for graduate school in molecular biology. That degree pursuit was cut short when he was led to dentistry by numerous mentors who were all in the field. After attending the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Dentistry and being distinguished with the AAOMS Implantology award for his class, he became a general practice resident at the University of Iowa-Hospitals & Clinics in Iowa City. That program furthered his cosmetic and restorative skills and allowed him to obtain advanced clinical training in oral surgery and intravenous sedation.
Experience
After his residency, Dr. Dan and his wife moved to Denver, where he was an associate in a large group practice for 3½ years. Soon after the birth of their son, the Bednarczyk’s returned to Kansas City to be closer to loved ones - and free family babysitting! Dr. Dan initially was a co-owner of a practice on the Plaza, but he always recognized that he wanted to start his own practice in a suburban neighborhood with a great community feel.
Sunnybrook
With a young family of his own, Dr. Dan searched the Kansas City area for the perfect location to start his own practice, with a vision of being able to get to know and watch families grow through the years. An opportunity presented itself in 2006 to lease space in the College Park Family Care building, which at the time was the original building in the Shops of Sunnybrook. He immediately knew that it was the perfect place to start a new practice. Dr. Dan loved the Olathe Northwest and Cedar Creek areas, surrounded by wonderful developing neighborhoods and schools. Keeping in mind his own busy family, he appreciated how much a great location that catered to all ages would make life a little easier for families to get to their appointments.
Home Life
Dr. Dan grew up in numerous states and even abroad his first 11 years, but his hometown is definitely Kansas City. He and his wife have a son and daughter who are both in college. Dan and their son love to fly and do so out of the Downtown Airport. Their daughter is on her high-school dance team and loves ballet, too. When they make the time to slow down, the Bednarczyks love traveling. Discovering new places is always at the top of the list, but they make regular trips to Colorado and Montana for camping, fishing, and their favorite pastime, skiing. Throughout the season, “Family Golf” is also a constant for them but takes a back seat to trips to the Ozarks and Grand Lake.
Jeremy Johnston
Dmd
Background
Originally from Denver, Colorado, Dr. Johnston attended The University of Colorado at Boulder for his Undergraduate Degree in Integrative Physiology and then remained in Denver for a year performing Cancer research.

After completion of his D.M.D., Dr. Johnston began practicing in the Kansas City area.

Outside the Office
He is a fan of all things Colorado sports - especially the Broncos and the Rockies. In his free time, he likes to read, watch sports, and travel. He has a passion for golf, skiing in his native Colorado, and hiking with his Fiancée and their Golden Lab, Tucker.

She received a Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of Central Missouri, during which time she spent a semester abroad studying business in Athens, Greece and Groningen, Netherlands. Dr. Hanna then pursued her aspirations of dental school at the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Dentistry, where she graduated as a Doctor of Dental Surgery. During her time at UMKC School of Dentistry, she received numerous awards for her achievements there, including graduating Magna Cum Laude and being inducted into the Omicron Kappa Upsilon Dental Honor Society.

Upon completion of her residency, Dr. Hanna relocated to Sioux Falls, South Dakota where she joined a private practice in general dentistry as an Associate. Very soon after the birth of their first daughter, the Hanna family moved back home to Kansas City to be closer to family and friends, and she joined our Sunnybrook Dental team at that time.
