Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique
For patients with gum recession, the Chao Pinhole Technique is a minimally invasive procedure that doesn't use scalpels or sutures. Traditional therapies involve using a soft tissue graft, which requires an extensive recovery time and procedure. The Chao Pinhole Technique is significantly more comfortable and faster, making it an excellent option to restore the health of your gums and protect your oral health.
ClearCorrect
Do you want a straighter smile without the hassle of bulky metal braces? ClearCorrect uses a series of clear, removable plastic aligners that gently shift your teeth into position over time. This orthodontic option is extremely popular among our Knoxville, TN, patients due to how easy and convenient it is. For patients looking for a complete transformation, our dentist can combine ClearCorrect with a smile makeover for life-changing results.
Dental Crowns
Crowns are a versatile treatment that can address a range of dental concerns. Made of the most durable material and created to withstand tremendous force, dental crowns protect a compromised tooth from further damage. These restorations are often used after root canal therapy to seal off the tooth. They can even address cosmetic concerns such as improving the appearance of a misshapen or discolored tooth. Whether the issue is restorative or cosmetic, our dentist ensures that your restoration provides years of stability and strength.
Dental Implant Restoration
Dental implants are a reliable and long-term solution for patients looking to replace missing teeth. Dr. Kinder can place implants after an examination to determine if you are a good candidate for this. He will then attach a stunning restoration such as a dental crown, bridge, or denture to seamlessly blend in with your smile. Dental implant restorations can restore a patient's ability to eat and speak, all while giving them a healthier and more attractive smile.
Veneers
Our dentist offers porcelain veneers to help patients achieve the million-dollar smile they desire. Veneers are ultra-thin shells made of durable porcelain that are bonded to the front teeth for stunning results. They can address a range of dental issues such as cracks, chips, gaps, and stubborn stains. With proper care and maintenance, veneers can last up to 10 years, making them a reliable solution to enhance your smile like never before.

Providing Care to the Whole Family
It's rare to find a dentist with experience in such a wide range of techniques who can also treat your whole family.
Dr. Kinder can provide fun, gentle pediatric dentistry treatments as well as various procedures for you and your parents or grandparents. Whether you need a simple hygiene cleaning for children, restorative work such as root canal therapy, or a complete tooth-replacement system, Dr. Kinder is equipped with the skills and training to resolve nearly any dental concern under one roof.
The Importance of Routine Dental Check-Ups and Cleanings
Early Detection
By being proactive and attending routine check-ups, our dentist can identify concerns and address them early on. Small cavities can be treated before turning into more significant issues such as a root canal infection or even missing teeth.Healthy Smile
Do you love how clean and smooth your teeth feel after a dental cleaning? Our hygienists can target plaque and tartar in hard-to-reach areas, preventing them from turning into oral health issues and giving you a bright, healthy smile you'll love to show off.Cost-Effective
Routine dental check-ups can save you and your family money in the long run. If dental issues such as decay or gum disease are left undetected, it can lead to costly procedures in the future."They Put You at Ease with a Pleasant Environment" Hear from More Satisfied Patients

Five great big stars! Times 100!!! Let’s face it. Going in for a dental procedure or any medical procedure is never going to be high on anyone’s want to do list. But good dental care is an absolute necessity to good health.

Wonderful experience at my first visit today with Dr. Kinder! This was the most thorough evaluation of my dental health I’ve ever had! Tara was fantastic, friendly- she did a great job and was so knowledgeable- Dr. Kinder was friendly, and excellent at providing a complete synopsis of how my teeth looked, and shared long term care and plans to keep my teeth healthy. Micheal at the front desk was friendly and efficient, and great at helping me understand my insurance! I am new to Knoxville and so happy I found them to take care of my dental health. I highly recommend them!!!
