  • Tooth Loss:Β Missing teeth can affect your ability to eat, speak, and enjoy life. We offer various solutions, including dental implants, bridges, and dentures, to restore your smile.
  • Oral Cancer:Β Older adults are at a higher risk for oral cancer, making regular screenings an important part of senior dental care.

At Duluth Dental Studio, we focus on preventive care to help our senior patients avoid these issues. We also provide restorative and cosmetic treatments to ensure your smile remains healthy andΒ vibrant.

I haven’t been to the dentist in a while and saw that Duluth Dental Studio had good ratings, so I gave it a try. The ratings were DESERVED! They got me in quickly and completed a full diagnosis. Follow up care for the work I required was also very quick! They have a great facility with all the latest equipment. Everyone was so friendly, caring and efficient.

Very caring and attentive, she truly listens and takes health limitations and individual needs into account. Although not specifically listed as a holistic dentist, she understands and respects a holistic approach of care. The practice accepts many insurance plans, the staff are helpful with insurance claims, and fees are discussed upfront with complete transparency. They provide excellent dental care in a comfortable, compassionate, and affordable setting.

I am VERY pleased with Dr. Kimi Patel and her staff. I will admit, I was not the friendliest on my 1st appointment after seeing my treatment plan as I had just had quite a few procedures done at another dentist. However, that had absolutely NOTHING to do with Dr. Kimi, and she was still very kind to me. I just went for a filling/crown today. This isn't my 1st crown, but it was my 1st with her, and the 1st time I feel everything went smoothly and I felt extremely cared for and listened to. She was so patient and explained everything along the way. She is very personable and thorough. I look forward to her caring for my teeth for years to come.

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Kimi and Angela during my recent dental visit. Both took the time to thoroughly educate me about my options for improving my smile, including the differences between teeth whitening and veneers. They explained the benefits, limitations, and expected outcomes of each treatment in a way that was easy to understand and never felt rushed. I also appreciated their detailed explanation of fluoride treatments and how they help protect and strengthen teeth. Their focus on patient education helped me feel informed and confident about my dental care decisions. Dr. Kimi and Angela are professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely care about their patients. Their attention to detail and commitment to providing personalized care made my visit a very positive experience. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dental team that combines expertise with outstanding patient care.
