"Dr. Kenney and his staff are wonderful! I have been coming here for years and they always make me feel so welcome. During any dental treatment, his assistants make sure that I am comfortable- I’m talking about blankets and rubbing chapstick on my parched lips, etc. They go above and beyond. If you see my before and after pictures you would be impressed . Can you tell I love coming here !"

"I have been seeing Dr. Kenney for over a year now and I cannot brag enough on him or his team. I have had to have extensive work done over the course of many months and I have joked that their office has become like a second home to me. I always feel so welcome and Dr Kenney does exceptional work. I have so much more confidence these days with a pretty mouth. Chantis, Sam and the other hygienists are all very knowledgeable and deliver excellent care. Harmony has been wonderful in working with me on billing options and setting appointments. I would direct anyone needing dental care to Tupelo Smiles. They are the absolute best."
