Quote Icon Dr. K, and his team, are some of the nicest, most genuinely caring and compassionate people you will ever come across. Numbing never hurts and he is constantly making sure you’re comfortable. They also work with you if you’re cash pay. Extremely reasonable prices. I could go on all day about how great all of his offices are. He is by far the best dentist you will ever go to.

Quote Icon For more than 10 years (I'm 24 years old now) I have been extremely self conscious of my smile and how my teeth look. Every time I would laugh I would cover my mouth without even thinking. When I was 18, my wonderful father offered to look into possibly getting some sort of cosmetic work done for me as he knew how much this bothered me and affected my overall confidence. Over the last 5-6 years, I have been to dozens of consultations with different dentists (including having an appointment to start the procedure and then cancelling the day before because I had a horrible feeling about the dentist). Dr. Kernagis was the LAST consultation that I ever had, and for good reason. On the first visit, Dr. K took the time to take x rays and pictures from all different angles and explain to me in detail the options that I had. He was so nice and patient and willing to answer all of my questions. Then set up another visit where he used the pictures from the previous visit to digitally show me what the teeth could potentially look like after Invisalign and veneers. He even took into consideration how the veneers will affect my bite, something that no other dentist I spoke to even thought about (both of these visits were completely free, by the way). I explained to him that my father would be paying for this and he does not live close by so I'm going to have to call him and put him on speaker phone to explain everything. Both Dr. K and Lei the office manager were extremely patient with both me and my fathers questions, they were willing to speak with him on the phone and work with him. I've done A LOT of research on veneers and the pricing of veneers and yes, the price was on the higher range but definitely not out of the ordinary. To mention, when it comes to something as important as your teeth and your smile, I would rather pay a little more for the highest quality. The entire process was so smooth and stress-free. The entire kernagis team is absolutely amazing! I had a time crunch and desperately wanted to have this done before my sisters wedding and the women at the front desk, Lei and Lori were incredible with working me into the schedule no matter what. The entire experience was amazing and Dr. K is truly an artist! I could not be happier with the results. I cannot express how this has forever changed my life. My smile is now so much bigger and brighter! I am now so confident every time I smile and I can't count how many compliments I have received! Thank you so much to Dr. K and his team, I am forever grateful!!

Quote Icon Staff is friendly and talkative but not overbearing. Both my husband and I are patients there and have been able to get appointments quickly.Wait time prior to appointment is minimal. I was also able to do a payment plan without financing. Glad to see that some businesses still trust their patients!

Cosmetic Dentistry

Full Mouth Reconstruction

A full mouth reconstruction involves several restorative dentistry procedures to achieve a functional and aesthetic result. These procedures are all designed to restore dental function and aesthetics to patients suffering from multiple oral health issues.

Complete Smile Makeover

During a complete smile makeover, a patient’s smile will be dramatically improved using a combination of cosmetic and restorative dentistry procedures. With a full smile makeover, you can address all of your cosmetic concerns at once, addressing both the upper and lower teeth for a refreshing smile that is bright and sparkling.

Dental Bonding

Dental bonding aims to correct or repair small cosmetic concerns using a putty-like resin. Bonding can conceal discolored enamel, repair chipped or cracked teeth, close spaces between teeth, lengthen teeth, alter tooth shape, and protect exposed roots of teeth.

Veneers

Veneers provide a long-lasting solution for cosmetic flaws in your smile, such as stained and discolored teeth, cracked or chipped teeth, gaps, or misaligned teeth. A thin layer of this material is tinted to match your teeth’s natural color, creating a completely natural appearance.

Cosmetic Gum Contouring

Cosmetic gum contouring surgery is a procedure that can be performed as a cosmetic or restorative procedure to reshape someone’s gum line. The Cosmetic gum contouring procedure can improve gums that are low, high, or uneven, making patients feel self-conscious about their smiles.

Teeth Whitening

Tooth whitening is an effective, non-invasive treatment that can brighten and whiten your smile without causing any damage to your teeth. Couture Dentistry offers different methods to whiten teeth since it is now the most common aesthetic concern of most patients.
