Our History
Welcome to Northshore Dental, where our story is deeply rooted in the Kenmore community. For generations, our office has been a place where local families receive exceptional dental care, and we are proud to continue that tradition.
Our story builds on a community legacy stretching back at least to Dr. Owen, who cared for patients in a small office just across the street. Our chapter started in 1990 when Dr. Christopher Kindem took ownership of the practice, then known as Northshore Family Dentistry. After he married Dr. Karen Bennett, the practice truly became a family affair when she joined in 1996. Their shared vision for a state-of-the-art practice led them to build our current office, which opened its doors in 2001.
While the doctors leading our practice have evolved—we were delighted to welcome Dr. Kirkland in 2016 upon Dr. Kindem's retirement from dentistry—our values remain the same. We believe in continuity, which is why we’re so proud of the familiar faces on our long-serving team. Colleen has been a cornerstone of our practice since 2005, Danniél joined our family in 2015, and Jana completed our team in 2020.
Our commitment to blending advanced dental technology and techniques with a personal touch has kept families returning to us year after year. We cherish the relationships we've built and look forward to continuing our legacy of care for many years to come. We would be honored to be your family's dental home.
