When it comes to community involvement, personalized treatment plans, dedicated dentistry experts, and state-of-the-art dental care, Grafton residents know they can rely on the team at Kern Family Dentistry. We are passionate about exceeding even the highest patient expectations. Our office has served the community for more than two decades, and our service doesnt stop when we close the office doors for the day. Our dentist and team are active members of the local community serving with charitable groups, providing dental education, and sponsoring various community events.
At Kern Family Dentistry, the patient is our number one priority. We take time to get to know each patient and his or her unique smile goals. We spend time answering questions, and we dont dictate what care patients should choose. Instead, we work with them as partners discussing treatment options, and creating a plan that meets their goals, schedule, and budget. Our dedicated team truly takes the time to ensure each patient gets the quality care they deserve. One way we ensure patients receive the best care is by investing in the latest dentistry techniques and technologies including same day dentistry services using the CEREC computer assisted design and manufacture system to plan, craft, and place custom restorations in a single visit.

I had X-rays and an oral exam. The new to me Bite-wing cards had a rounded corner and a small amount of flex. This allowed them to conform to my mouth much better! Most other X-rays that I have had, produced a gag response with back of the mouth pain and eyes watering, for the few seconds it takes for the X-ray. In a previous visit Dr. Kern was able to produce a new crown in the same day, no temp cap and no three weeks later to finish the new crown. The prices have been less than half of what I have paid ten years ago in Seattle.

I had not been to the dentist in 12+ years. So I was very nervous to schedule an appointment for a tooth ache. Upon arriving my nerves were calmed right away after checking in with the receptionist. Dr. Kern and staff run a very professional atmosphere with the latest dental tools and electronics. I will not be nervous next time I go. 2 thumbs up and I would recommend Dr. Kern and staff to anyone!
