I am dedicated to making a difference for patients and their dental health through education, encouragement, and the best that dental technology has to offer. Developing relationships with my patients provides me with new opportunities to learn from those around me, while building their trust and confidence in the services my team and I offer. With an emphasis on prevention and education, I focus on education and providing unbiased information so patients can make the best decisions for their dental care.
I received a quality education with hands-on training and experience. I attended Carson-Newman College for my undergraduate degree in biology, and received my Doctorate of Dental Surgery at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis.
I realize the importance of being ahead of in the ever-changing field of dentistry. I remain committed to my education, and regularly participate in continuing education opportunities to keep informed of the latest dental advancements and techniques to best serve my patients.
A native of eastern Tennessee, I now reside in Newport with my wife Casey and our threechildren.In my free time, I play basketball and the guitar, travel, and enjoy spending time with friends and family. I am also a member of the Praise BandatFirst Baptist Church of Newport.

Loved Dr Kickliter and his staff. They were friendly, professional and caring. The office was beautiful and clean. I needed two old silver fillings replaced and he did a wonderful job. He replaced both in one visit. Painless and look great.

This dentist had a major attitude problem when I simply asked him a couple of questions regarding my treatment option. The funny thing is that he stated that I was rude. I even tried to talk to him and apologize if it seemed that way and believe me I was far from rude. Pay attention how this business only has eight reviews and it's all 5 stars. Amazingly they have been in business for a bit and only eight reviews with only five star ratings is suspicious. They obviously delete the negative reviews. I didn't even have a negative tone.I believe he took his bad day out on me. His assistant was even surprised the way he reacted. This guy is very immature and unprofessional. I've never had an issue with any other dentist or doctor. In fact I have always had a pleasant experience with people who are supposed to be professional. I'm going to make sure that as many people know as possible to stay far away from this practice and I'll also make sure to leave a review on other social sites to warn others. Not to mention that I was seen about forty minutes without any apologizes for waiting. This last part didn't get me upset nearly as much as the attitude problem this dentist had.

Awesome practice with an awesome staff!! Gorgeous new office. My children love going to the dentist because of Dr. Kickliter. Leia, the hygienist, is wonderful and also great with children. Having an appointment here is like getting pampered. Attentiveness to patient care and concerns, massage chairs, tv. Keep up the good work guys!! Best office we've ever been to.

This dentist office is great! I had a crown done last month and a tooth pulled more recently. The staff is very friendly and caring. I'm a big chicken when it comes to dental work but Dr. Kickliter and his staff made me feel at ease. My family will come here before anywhere else.

Had toothache and my dentist at newport family dentistry said couldn't fit me in . Not sure friday either . Girl said I would need to go to emergency room . Found this dentist drove there. Walked hurting. And the receptionist was extremly polite and caring . Fit me into his busy schedule. Got me in took xrays and Dr. KICKLITER took care of me right away. I couldn't have been happier with the service and how caring the staff was. Thank you so much. Edith Bernard GOD ASWERED MY PRAYERS IN SO MUCH PAIN ASKED HIM TO HELP ME FIND DENTIST AND HE DID. THE BEST DENTIST IN NEWPORT HE CARES.
