We utilize advanced digital x-ray technology for precise diagnostics while minimizing radiation exposure. This technology enables early cavity detection and accurate treatment planning, improving patient safety and diagnostic accuracy through high-resolution imaging.

This was my first time at Kennerly Dental Group and the people were friendly and I felt comfortable the entire time. I felt that everyone was professional and well qualified, but also personable at the same time.

This so called dentist was to fit and order false teeth for my 90 year old mother. She had the misfortune of a hospital staff member accidentally throwing her false teeth out when they came for her food try. She went in for surgery during the beginning of the COVID outbreak so seeing a dentist was difficult at best! After almost 2 years and losing half her body weight do to mashing mush she was able to get to the dentist with high hopes.
The first 2 visits seem to go well but the fitting for her mouth needed work. After she showed up for her 3rd visit they actually sent someone to the parking lot and told my mother and sister who took off work and drove her that the dentist had CHANGED HIS MIND!? That's right! He wasn't going to help her! And without explanation other than he said she had a small mouth ( which she has never been accused of) sent them home!
My family was completely destroyed! My mother and sister cried coming home. My mother comforting my sister as she was so distraught! This cowardly sob is the poorest example of a human being let alone a health care professional! If you use the POS for a dentist good luck! As for me? I'll never forgive him!

I was new to STL and looking for a good dentist when I found Kennerly Dental and I'm very glad I did. They're very pleasant, knowledgeable, and are willing to work with schedules. I have sensitive teeth, but Kate is super gentle, while still being very thorough. Definitely recommend this office!

I had not been to the dentist for a few years due to not having insurance. The front desk was very nice and helpful during my first visit. I went to the back and the dental hygienist cleaned my teeth and was very kind to me as well. When the dentist came to take a look and saw how many cavities I had I could feel the judgment from him. He was cold and not friendly at all to me and he told the dental hygienist to tell me how to floss like I wasn't in the room. Made me feel terrible. I never went back again. I wouldn't recommend to any of my friends or family.
