Since 1989: Seaport Family Dentistry Marks Decades of Care and a 99 Dental.me Score in Liberty, MO

LIBERTY, MO — Seaport Family Dentistry opened in a small office on Liberty's Historic Square in 1989 and now practices at 2 Westwoods Dr, serving families in Liberty and the broader Kansas City metro. The practice holds a 99 Dental.me Score and a 4.8-star Google rating across 800 reviews.

A Founding Story Rooted in Liberty

Seaport Family Dentistry traces its origins to Dr. Tinsley, who opened the practice's first small office on Liberty's Historic Square in 1989. What began as a modest storefront operation has since grown into a full-service family practice at 2 Westwoods Dr, serving patients throughout Liberty and the broader Kansas City metro. The practice says it still holds to that founding emphasis on personal attention, and its team today includes Dr. Christopher Shultz, who has practiced general dentistry since 1997, and Dr. Brook Derenzy.

Deep Local and Professional Roots

Dr. Shultz is a lifelong resident of the Greater Kansas City area, a 1989 graduate of Oak Park High School who went on to earn a Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry from William Jewell College in 1993 before completing his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree at the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Dentistry. He holds memberships in the American Dental Association, the Missouri Dental Association, the Greater Kansas City Dental Society, the Clay-Platte Dental Society, the Academy of General Dentistry, and the American Academy of Facial Esthetics. Dr. Derenzy is a Fulton, Missouri native, he graduated Cum Laude from Westminster College in 1997 with a degree in Chemistry, then attended the University of Texas–San Antonio Health Science Center, where he served as Class President and graduated Magna Cum Laude in 2003. After nine years in private practice in Bend, Oregon, Dr. Derenzy made the deliberate choice to sell that practice and return home to Missouri to raise his family closer to its roots. He maintains affiliations with the Academy of General Dentistry, the International Congress of Implantology, the Dental Organization for Conscious Sedation, and the Spear Study Club.

Technology That Shows Up in the Chair

The practice says it uses 3-D X-rays and digital impressions captured with a Trios 3Shape Scanner, allowing patients to watch their own teeth being mapped on a screen in real time rather than enduring traditional molds. For patients needing dental implants, the practice uses computer-generated surgical guides for guided implant surgery, which plan the implant position before surgery. It also offers same-day CAD/CAM crowns, which the practice says can be made and placed in a single visit. The practice also offers clear aligners and traditional braces for patients seeking straighter teeth.

A Practice That Shows Up for Its Community

The practice says it has partnered for years with Hillcrest Hope, donating dental care to individuals rebuilding their lives. According to the practice, Drs. Shultz and Derenzy also both volunteer with Donated Dental Services, a humanitarian program providing dental care to people with disabilities, the elderly, and the medically compromised. Drs. Tinsley and Shultz founded Doctors with a Heart Day, an annual event in which the practice donates an entire day of free dentistry to patients without insurance.
