Lynn K.

Going to Kennedy Dental was by far the best dental visit & consult I've had. I'm fairly dental phobic but Kassie explained everything she was going to do before hand & while she was cleaning my teeth as well. I have alot of broken & missing teeth in my mouth & hadn't been to the dentist in years. Dr. Kennedy was very nice & so personable. I actually have alot of hope now that with their help, I will have a healthy smile back soon. I am very grateful for Dr. Kennedy, Kassie & Nancy. They all made me feel much better. 😊

I always recieve the best care at Kennedy Dental. I've been going to them since I was young and its amazing seeing how they've only continued to improve their service!

Connor S.

I've been seeing Dr. Kennedy and his staff for four years now. I cannot say enough good things about these people. I went through three Dentist's on my way to finding them and I'm so grateful that I didn't give up on my search. The service, professionalism, bedside manner is top-tier! It has been so fun to watch Dr. Kennedy's practice grow over the years. If you're reading this because you're on the hunt for a kind, compassionate, team of quality humans/an amazing Dentist, you can stop your search.

I had a great experience as a first-time patient. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and communicative, making me feel at ease right away. The facilities were modern, spotless, and well maintained. From the moment you walk in, it's clear that the practice is thoughtfully run, with patient...

Erin B.

Always professional and kind! I have been a patient at Lombard Dental since 1996. Dr. Kennedy is always so patient with me as I have some anxiety at the dentist. His staff is so comforting and attentive towards me…. Always offering a blanket or emotional support. I left for a few years as my place of employment changed and I completely regret it…. But I am back now and so happy to be! Thank you, Kennedy Dental! If I could give you 10 stars I would! Rochelle Drakos

Rochelle D.

It's been more than 20 years I've been with Dr. Kennedy. He's the best dentist I've had. Highly recommend. Thank you Dr Kennedy as well as all of your staff.

Melchor J.

I had an absolutely amazing experience at Kennedy Dental. It was my first time visiting the dentist in awhile and the team was super helpful and responsive in answering my questions and scheduling an appointment online. The team addressed concerns I had with my teeth and showed genuine interest in my overall health. While I did purchase some oral care products, I didn't feel like they were pushing any services on me. I was very relaxed and afterward my mouth didn't ache like it does after walking out of some dentist offices. Money is always a concern, especially when not all health insurance covers dental care. The office has some great first-time patient specials and ongoing care plans for those who have to pay out-of-pocket. When I left I didn't realize how much time I had spent there, but they covered a lot of procedures from x-rays to pictures, cleaning, etc., but I was there for almost two hours. So if you're going there for a first-time visit I would just make sure you leave yourself enough time for the appointment. I definitely will be going back to them in the future.

Do you accept patients without dental insurance?

Not having insurance shouldn't stop you from receiving the dental care you need! We understand that insurance coverage isn't always available to everyone. That's why we offer alternative options to help make dental care affordable for all our patients. We have flexible financing plans through CareCredit that can be tailored to fit your budget. They allow you to receive the treatment you need without breaking the bank. We also have a membership club that offers exclusive benefits and discounts. We're here to support your oral health journey, with or without insurance!

What are some signs I should see a dentist right away?

If you notice persistent tooth pain, sudden sensitivity to hot or cold, swollen gums, bleeding gums, or a loose tooth, it's important to see a dentist right away. Other signs include persistent bad breath, sores or lumps in the mouth, difficulty chewing or swallowing, or changes in the color or texture of your gums. Don't ignore these signs, as they could indicate underlying dental issues. Seeking prompt dental care can help prevent further complications and ensure your oral health is in good hands.

Can I see some examples of your work?

Absolutely! We understand the importance of showcasing our dentist's cosmetic and restorative skills. We have a collection of before-and-after photos that demonstrate the transformations we've achieved for our patients. They help illustrate our expertise in procedures like dental implants, porcelain veneers, teeth whitening. Feel free to ask our team to share these photos during your visit. You can also see some of them in our online smile gallery. We take pride in our work and are excited to show you the remarkable results we've achieved for our patients.
