Kinsey Smiles: Brian Kinsey DMD

When teeth and gums are healthy, it is recommended by the American Dental Association that adults and children visit the dentist and have their teeth professionally cleaned and examined twice a year. For patients with gum disease, professional cleaning is recommended every 3-4 months, as well as for those with special dental needs, such as children undergoing orthodontic treatment (i.e., braces). If you are unsure how often you should visit the dentist, we would be glad to assist.

Tooth sensitivity may be caused by many factors, including worn or chipped enamel, receding gums, gum disease, decay, cavities, clenching and grinding, cracks, or infected roots. Sensitivity can be triggered by hot or cold liquids, acidic foods, sweets, chewing, or even certain toothpastes. It can often be treated effectively, but determining the underlying cause is essential. If you are experiencing tooth sensitivity, we would be glad to evaluate and recommend the best treatment.

At Kinsey Smiles, we accept most dental PPO insurances and will work with you to maximize your benefits. Please bring your membership card and policy details to your appointment. Since plans vary, it is a good idea to review your coverage beforehand. We provide estimates for coverage and out-of-pocket expenses, and can also assist with flexible payment options or our in-house Wellness Program for patients without insurance.

Yes, new patients of all ages are always welcome at Kinsey Smiles. We reserve dedicated appointment times each week for new patients to avoid long waits. During your comprehensive exam, Dr. Kinsey will check your teeth, gums, jaw, and bite health, and then review treatment options with you. We respect your decisions and aim to provide personalized care for every smile.
