- Dental ExaminationFrom a simple dental checkup to a complete smile makeover, we can assist patients with achieving confidence and excellent oral health by combining services and monitoring one’s oral health over time with routine cleanings and examinations.
- X-rays
- Oral Cancer ScreeningAlthough oral cancer is rare, Dr. Kenner believes in prevention and early detection so he will conduct a thorough screening, looking for any tissue or spots that look suspicious. In the event abnormal looking tissue is detected, we are able to provide biopsy procedures or DNA sequencing for analysis and diagnosis.
- Teeth CleaningIf tartar does form on your teeth (in those hard-to-reach areas), it cannot be removed with brushing and flossing alone; only professional dental cleaning can successfully remove it from your teeth.
- Fillings
- VeneersDo you have something you’d like to change about the appearance of your smile? If so, you are not alone. Nearly everyone has imperfections in their smile, ranging from stains and chips to misalignment or asymmetry. At Kenner Dental Group in Burien, Washington, we offer a customized solution that enables you to completely transform your smile’s appearance in just a few visits: porcelain dental veneers.
- CrownsBridges supported by natural teeth utilize the teeth on either side of the empty space. These teeth are modified or prepared the same way as if there were receiving a single crown. This part of the treatment is completed at the first appointment, along with impressions and records that are sent to the dental laboratory, and placement of a temporary bridge. The lab then fabricates the final bridge, which is bonded to the supporting teeth during the second appointment. One of most popular benefits of bridges supported by natural teeth is this short, two appointment treatment time. From start to finish, you can generally have the final bridge within two weeks.
- BridgesWhen teeth are missing, a bridge can be a very effective option. A bridge replaces a missing tooth, or multiple teeth, by suspending replacements between two supports. These supports can either be natural teeth or implants. And once placed, a dental bridge nicely restores the aesthetics and chewing function of the missing teeth. There are a few important differences between bridges supported by natural teeth versus dental implants that must be considered before deciding which treatment is best for you.
- Dental BondingVariations in tooth size is common. Under-sized lateral incisors, referred to as “peg laterals”, can affect the way your smile looks. This difference in tooth size is easily corrected by simply adding composite to the lateral incisors. The ideal shape and size are restored, creating a very natural looking result. As with most composite bonding treatments, no removal of tooth is needed and can be completed very comfortably without anesthetic.
- Restorative DentistryWhen treating oral health issues such as cavities and deeper decay, many dentists will use the fastest or easiest approach towards restoring your teeth. While this may sound enticing, it tends to translate into removing more of your natural tooth structure than is necessary. Excessive removal of tooth structure, most importantly enamel, can shorten the life of a tooth, cause it to be less resistant to decay, and limit the ability to repair the tooth in the future should decay develop again. At Kenner Dental Group, we take a different approach, one that preserves enamel whenever possible, by practicing biomimetic restorative dentistry.
- Root Canal TreatmentAdditionally, when biomimetic dentistry is used to treat decay and disease early, patients can often avoid the need for more intense procedures such as root canals or surgery to intentionally remove bone around a tooth, as is sometimes needed with older, outdated dental techniques. In addition to avoiding more invasive treatments, biomimetically treated teeth are less prone to pain, sensitivity, and bacterial infiltration.
- Deep Cleaning
- DenturesThe All-on-4 dental implant system enables us to replace an entire dental arch with just four dental implants, then topped with a custom-made denture. The procedure can be completed in just one visit with local anesthesia to keep you comfortable in many cases.
- Dental ImplantsTooth loss affects so much more than the appearance of your smile. It can negatively impact your eating and speaking correctly, oral health, overall facial appearance, and self-confidence. If you have lost all your teeth and live in the Burien, Washington area, the revolutionary All-on-4® dental implant system at Kenner Dental Group can restore your entire dental arch with as few as four dental implants in just one visit.
- Oral SurgeryNitrous Oxide is a safe and effective way to help relax and “take the edge off” without the lingering sedation found with Oral and IV medications. The effects of Nitrous are quick, and resolve shortly after discontinuing the flow of gas. Therefore, you are able to drive yourself after your appointment without any concerns for safety. There are limitations however with the level of relaxation You can get with Nitrous. Generally, for minor procedures like hygiene visits and fillings, Nitrous is effective. For more invasive procedures like Oral surgery, Oral or IV sedation are the recommended sedation modalities.
- Gum SurgeryIn severe cases where laser treatment is not enough, gum surgery may be necessary to remove the diseased tissue and correct defects in the jaw bone around the teeth

- Orthodontics
- Invisalign OrthodonticsDo you have crowded or crooked teeth that you’d like to straighten but don’t want to have braces with brackets and wires? If so, then clear aligners from Invisalign may be your answer to straighter teeth. With this treatment, teeth are orthodontically moved using clear plastic trays, not brackets and wires. You can achieve that beautiful smile in a very comfortable and less conspicuous way.
- BracesClear aligners, like traditional braces, apply gentle forces to teeth to move them a little bit at a time. Each time you change an aligner, the forces are maintained on the teeth as they move to their new positions. The aligner must be worn at least 22 hours a day in order to effectively deliver the intended forces to the teeth. And each aligner is used for two weeks before changing to the next one. Depending on the amount of tooth movement in your case, the total number of aligners needed will vary.
- Teeth WhiteningWhen you think about someone with a stunning smile, the chances are that their teeth are a brilliant shade of white. While many components factor into a great smile, bright white teeth are one of the quickest and easiest ways to send others the signal that you are healthy and vibrant.
