My goal is to educate my patients and colleagues about current concepts in dental medicine and to provide the best ethical advice and care possible for their individual situations. I intend to uphold honesty, integrity, and professionalism as key components of my overall persona and service to humanity.
The ability to reach this goal comes from a solid and caring family and wife who support countless hours of out-of-house labor and continuing education. Understanding that my skills as an educator, as a scientist, and as a clinician are God-given gifts, I believe that it is my mission to uphold the ethical ideals of the profession of dentistry and to benefit the patients who it serves.
My very first visit to Dr Huff was a very warm reception. I had been suffering with a toothache for 3 yrs, 24/7. I tried for a year to find a dentist to help me. I saw Dr Huffs ad in the Bargain Hunter. I decided to give him a try cause I couldnt take the pain any longer. When I told how severe my toothache was, they got me in as soon as possible. The receptionist was very kind & polite. Dr. Huff greeted me and asked how he could help me. I explained to him my unbearable pain. He did 3 D x-rays and showed them to me and explained what was going on with my tooth & what he needed to do. He said there was no saving my tooth & it had to be pulled. He was very caring and concerned. He found I had a tooth with a crown that was cracked,had an abscess, and also a cyst. He pulled my tooth and removed the cyst. I had instant relief from the pain. Dr. Huff and his staff was very helpful and kind. I would refer anyone to go to him. Thank You Dr. Huff. God Bless you and your staff! Pam B
Comfort and function are very important and every step was taken to ensure both for me. This is not the first procedure I have had done here and every time I leave pleased with the results. My four year old daughter also goes to Dr. Huff and she LOVES to go to the dentist. I hear from so many people that their children are afraid of the dentist but my daughter is always excited to go. The entire staff makes sure she is as happy as possible while there which makes for a very happy child AND mom. I am very happy to have Dr. Huff and his staff to help my family and I with all of our dental needs.

Obviously, disease or fractures of the teeth and gums are the most common source of orofacial pain, but many other types of pain can actually cause dental pain. Chronic orofacial pain can significantly reduce the quality of life and is very difficult to manage in many situations. An orofacial pain specialist, like Dr. Huff, is trained in the diagnosis and management of acute dental pain and disease as well as orofacial pain that is not of tooth origin. Orofacial pain specialists also assess the need for multidisciplinary management of chronic pain conditions, and Dr. Huff strives to work with various professionals in the medical and dental communities through collaboration and appropriate referrals to provide the best possible care for orofacial pain conditions.
To become an orofacial pain specialist, Dr. Huff has taken many hours of continuing education from various programs, including courses from Louisiana State University, the University of Minnesota, Rutgers University, and UCLA. Having passed a rigorous two-part psychometric examination covering the gamut of orofacial pain conditions, causes, and treatments, Dr. Huff has earned the status of Diplomate from the American Board of Orofacial Pain. Orofacial Pain is a recognized specialty by the American Dental Association.
Most commonly,11.2-12.4 million adults in the United States have pain related to temporomandibular disorders.An individual may have more than one TMD and may also have overlapping conditions, such as migraines, fibromyalgia, and other forms of widespread pain.Orofacial pain hasvarying causes (injury, genetics, and environmental factors), affect different body systems, and pose different health and quality of life issues, care can involve multiple disciplines.

My child had just moved to Ohio from Michigan and they had turned 18 only a week ago. When they had a dental emergency we reached out online they called my child within 24 hours and had them in the next day. This was the first adult emergency situation they had to deal with and they were terrified. They were quickly put at ease by the pleasant environment and friendly staff. Not only did they take care of the emergency but also, found another issue and spent time carefully explaining and educating on the issue. Additionally provided supplies and educational materials. The prices were fair and they made my child with extreme anxiety very comfortable. Thank you

I've been to many of dentistries over the years from Ohio to Florida. From Military service to private dental clinics and by far from the receptionist, assistants to Dr. Huff I would choose this clinic! They thoroughly explain in detail your causes, and care options. They are very personable and professional. If an opening comes earlier then your appointment expect a call because they are on top of their scheduling!

I started coming to Dr. Huff several months ago after my previous dentist had retired. I had to have a crown on one of my teeth and Dr. Huff and his staff did an excellent job in explaining the process and making me feel comfortable. I was able to get the new crown set in one day since Dr. Huff makes them on site!

After about 9 months of headaches nearly every day and visiting minute clinic, statcare, ENT, and neurologist and being treated for sinus infections and allergies to no avail, I was referred to Dr Huff. He specializes in orofacial pain. He did a thorough history and exam. Finally I had answers and relief! He fitted me with a bite splint to sleep in and gave me stretches to do. Now, if I feel a headache coming on, i do a few stretches and it's gone! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Dr Huff and his hygienist, Sandy, are interested in more than just taking your money! They take time to educate patients on proper dental care in a loving, caring way! The office atmosphere is so relaxing! We've never experienced dental professionals who care for their patients like the staff at Dr. Huff's! We highly recommend for all the members of your family!

Dr. Huff is the best dentist I've ever had. He immediately took care of my problem upon my first visit. And he seems to genuinely care about his patients. He always has a pleasant demeanor. He took the time to read up on a condition I have unrelated to my visit, which surprised me, and made me realize how good of a person he really is. I have found my dentist! Thank you Dr. Huff for being the best :)

I knew I wanted to get some serious dental work to get a beautiful smile. I read a number of reviews from several area dentist. After further review I decided to go with Dr. Huff. My initial consultation with him was clear and he understood my budget concerns. Once our plan started we had a couple changes which he explained in detail. I couldn't ask for better care and the outcome is a beautiful smile. I get a lot of compliments on my smile. I highly recommend anyone that is looking for a great dentist and fantastic staff with excellent care your search should be over. Dr. Huff is a great choice.

I am 56 yrs old and have never had a pleasant dentist experience until I came to Dr. Huff. I had neglected my dental health for years out of fear and past negative experiences. Dr Huff and his staff are amazing. Truly. I've never felt judged or scolded for the condition of my mouth. They have met me at my point of need and have been gently, honest, thorough and kind. I have extensive work to be done but I am no longer fearful as the route canal I have just had completed was a really good experience. Dr. Huff made sure that I was comfortable at all times. These folks care about their patients! I highly recommend this team to anyone especially those of us with negative past experiences.

I received the Chao Pinhole Procedure from Dr. Huff and his staff due to recession in my gums. I was a bit nervous about this procedure, but Dr. Huff ensured me it was necessary and answered absolutely all of my questions. During the procedure, they made my mouth very numb and constantly asked if I was okay and made sure I was not feeling any pain. The procedure went relatively quick, and Dr. Huff and his staff explained everything along the way. After the procedure, I was honestly feeling a lot of pain for the first day, but I was given thorough post-op instructions and given tips and plenty of ice packs to manage the pain. After the first day, I felt a lot better, and Dr. Huff was open to any questions I had about moving forward. Fast forward to today (a couple months after the procedure) and where they treated the recession looks better than ever. Dr. Huff called it "a great success." Thanks so much to Kevin Huff and his staff for always being helpful, professional, and kind!!

I have struggled for some time with jaw issues and searched for a dentist that could better assess and treat my TMJ situation. I found Dr. Huff and travelled over an hour to see what he could do for me...I didn't even know an Orofacial Pain Specialist existed! I have never felt so reassured in a first meeting with a doctor. His assessment was SO thorough...he asked so many questions to really dig deep and figure out the source of my problem. I felt very comfortable that he could handle my issue with his knowledge, expertise, and focus. For my treatment, I continued to travel a long distance to see him every two weeks or so until I and Dr. Huff were satisfied with the outcome. I no longer experience regular jaw pain and have mobility I haven't had for a while! So glad I put my trust in Dr. Huff! He and his whole team are amazing!!!
