Extraordinary dental care! Excellent team of professionals that create a healthy preventive care environment for their clients. They have saved me both expense and additional treatments by being ahead of the curve on my own dental care.

I came in as an emergency visit. I was able to get in right away. Dr. Grill was by far the best dentist I have ever been to. He genuinely cares about what he's doing. I needed a root canal, he went out of his way to get me in quickly, he explained every step, made sure I was comfortable with no pain every step of the way. Him and all of the staff are very friendly and make you feel comfortable. I would highly recommend them to anyone!

Kennedy Dental is by far the best Dental office I have ever been to! I see Dr.Gary and he is very good at explaining what is going on and is conservative in his treatments. He goes above and beyond to make sure that you are comfortable during the whole procedure. The whole office is top notch!

Went through the procedure of enrolling as a new patient. Went on in for examination and ex-rays then was notified that my insurance would not cover the visit after they already started the procedures. When called for the appointment was told that it would be covered. After being charged $140.00 for ex-rays it left a foul taste for the experience of my first visit. Felt that I should have been told prior to starting any procedures that it would not be covered on my dental plan.

Wednesday, 6 November 2019 I had an appointment yesterday as the first part of placing a crown on a cracked tooth. The service by Dr. Kennedy and Shelly was first rate for being thorough and friendly. I go back in two weeks to have the permanent crown put in place.
