Tupelo Smiles Family and Cosmetic Dentistry

Tupelo Smiles couldn't possibly make a dental visit more pleasant. From the ladies at the registration desk, to the hygienists, from Dr. Caron to the angels in appointments and billing (Hey, Susie!), Tupelo Smiles makes everyone feel like part of the family. I can't recommend this practice highly enough.

Going to Tupelo Smiles is a level above any other dentist visit I've ever experienced. When you walk in the door, you're treated like you matter. You’re greeted with a big smile and they know you by name. The entire staff cares about you and making sure you receive the best quality of care possible. I avoided going to the dentist for a few years because of fears I had built up in my head, which only resulted in having a long list of procedures to be done. The scary, big word kind of stuff. Now, two years later, I'm almost done with the check list and have been so pleased with the entire staff. Dr. Kenney is such a knowledgeable, kind dentist and answers all your questions (of which I had about 2,000) and always goes the extra mile to make sure you're pain free and informed of what's going on. He constantly asks “are you okay?” which means the world to me since I still get a little nervous at each visit, even though deep down I know everything will be fine. If you start to feel any sort of discomfort, he immediately fixes it. I've worked with so many of his staff throughout my numerous visits, and all have been extremely kind to me. A few stick out to me: Sam is a treasure. You know how they bring in therapy dogs to calm down anxiety-ridden people that have trouble dealing with stuff? Sam is like that, but in human form. She's always smiling, pleasant, and makes the visit to the dentist fun (if that's possible?) Her demeanor shows that she loves what she does; she loves working with people, and is good at her job. There have been many times I've been there in pain and just her cheery atmosphere started me to feeling better. It’s something you can’t train an employee to have, they just have it naturally. Also, I have to mention Amber. There was a really tough root canal I had last year. The cavity was deep, hard to reach, and a challenge for everyone. I started to panic in the middle of it and she was able to calm me in a sort of mother-like way that made all the chaos stop, allowed Dr. Kenney to finish, and everything was fine. It's hard to put into words how she comforted me that day but I will never forget how easily she got me to chill out in the middle of a difficult procedure. Finally, Harmony in the billing dept. As I said, I've had a TON of trips to the dentist for my work. She's sat down with me countless times and went through what I had to pay for, what insurance would and would not cover, helped me get a payment plan going with a finance company, and always worked with me with patience and exact info. She knows her numbers. And that's a biggie when you have a folder of EOB's and bills and have lost track of what you owe and what you have upcoming. I hate to only mention 3, because there have been so many visits that I've had where I might not have even caught the assistant's name due to me feeling bad or just having encountered so many, but everyone I've ever come in contact with from the front desk to the dental chair has helped me beyond words. I have referred anyone that will listen to go here. I think I can sum it up like this: during one visit last year as I was waiting in the chair to get a procedure going, I heard some of the ladies chatting behind me and I could feel the level of respect and teamwork they all shared and I had the realization that working there must be so rewarding because of how they get along, get their jobs done, and make people feel more healthy and confident with their smiles in a world that puts so much stock into "face value." When I heard how they worked together and had fun while being so good at what they do, it hit me how working there would be such a dream job because of all of these factors combined. The whole staff is top notch, and I highly recommend them if you're choosing a dentist. You won't regret it; in fact, if you're like me, you'll wonder why you waited so long to make the appointment.

Lorie People’s referred me to Tupelo Smiles and it was great! The Hygienist Kayla was nice and did an amazing job! Friendly environment and great service! I highly recommend!

I have been going to Dr. Kenney and staff since I returned to Tupelo in 2001. I have always received the utmost care and courteous service from each and every valued staff member and Dr. Kenney and would never think of trusting my dental care to any other team. Thanks so much for taking care of me!

Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. It was nothing like any dentist I had been to. I felt like they were interested in me. I highly recommend Tupelo Smiles.

Great atmosphere and wonderful staff!! Would never go anywhere else! This place is the best i have ever been to. You are treated like family and they truly care about you and whats in your best interest. Mrs. Zara Duke does an amazing job cleaning my teeth and i request her everytime!

One of the most notable and praiseworthy things I can say about this office is that they are a well tuned team that produces love, compassion, integrity and a level of professionalism un paralleled by anything I've ever seen. From the doctors to the staff, they take so many extra steps to ensure comfort and fluidity in every aspect of dentistry they perform. I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to be surrounded by such amazing people. Dr. Kenney and Dr. Caron's attention to detail in the visual aesthetics of the smile are so much fun to be a part of. The best moments of my day are getting to witness someone who is unhappy with their smile be transformed into a confident person who can’t stop smiling. I truly love being a part of this family.

My family and I have used Dr. John Kenney for over 10 years, and we wouldn't dream of going anywhere else! The care is excellent, from the moment we walk in and the front desk staff greets us by name, to the "snacks" that my son lives for, to the thorough examination from Dr. Kenney. Dr. Kenney and his staff know my family, and they ask about things that are going on in our lives. My children BEG to go to the dentist, and they think that "Dr. John" should pull their teeth, and notify everyone at Tupelo Smiles about the lost tooth. They are like an extension of the family. I highly recommned Dr. Kenney and Tupelo Smiles for excellent dental care for anyone at any age!

My children have both completed orthodontics by Dr Caron! My husband and I could not be more pleased with the results. We highly recommend either doctor for braces for your family!

After several weeks in pain I started searching for a dentist in the Tupelo area. I posted on Facebook asking which one would be best. I quickly received the same answer over and over. Tupelo Smiles! I went ahead and made an appointment and I was so amazed at how kind the staf and the dentist were. They made sure I understood the procedures, what to expect and what to change in the future. Thank you Tupelo Smiles for being so kind and professional!
