About Kennedy Dental Care

Caring for Corpus Christi Families Since 1969

Since 1969, Kennedy Dental Care has been a trusted name in Corpus Christi, providing compassionate, high-quality dental care to generations of families. From a child's first dental visit to braces and Invisalign for teens, our mission has always been to create a welcoming, family-friendly environment where every patient feels at home. We believe dental care goes beyond treatment – it is about building relationships, educating families, and creating positive experiences that lead to lifelong oral health.

Our experience from the front end to check out was nothing short of amazing. My daughters always feel welcomed and at ease when going to the dentist. My youngest was asked to hit a home run for KDC at her game and she did!

I was very hesitant about my daughter having a frenectomy procedure done, but the staff and Dr. Pruitt provided the most amazing experience I could have asked for. Their knowledge, patience, kindness, and reassurance made everything OK. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend them. If I could give 10 stars, I would definitely give them 10 stars.
