Dr Bruce Kinney

It has been my privilege to help my patients achieve optimal oral health and wonderful smiles for more than 30 years. My passion is patient-centered care, building lasting relationships while helping each person develop their healthiest, strongest smile. Whether I’m caring for a child at the first dental visit, restoring an adult’s ability to chew comfortably, or relieving pain, my focus is on what’s best for that patient. I understand that each person’s clinical needs and personal concerns are unique. Instead of dictating a specific treatment path, I’ll work with you to find the approach that’s best for your specific situation. While I have experience in all aspects of dentistry, my area of expertise is in replacement of missing teeth. I offer dental implants, bridges, and dentures, which restore the ability to chew properly, relieve stress on the jaw and facial muscles, and improve a person’s confidence in their appearance. My goal is to assist each patient take control of his or her oral health through preventive care, education, and home dental hygiene. I am here to help and honored to do so.
