Embracing Functional Dentistry

At Functional Dentistry of Asheville, we center our practice on functional dentistry—a holistic, patient-focused method that transcends traditional care. Instead of just treating symptoms, we target root causes, acknowledging the links between your oral health, airway, microbiome, and overall wellness.

Under Dr. Blake Kingsbury, DMD, we combine science and personalized plans to deliver lasting results, including improved sleep, energy, and a functional, vibrant smile.

Key Aspects of Our Functional Dentistry

Natural, Life-Like Restorations That Elevate Your Health and Confidence

With a background in ceramics, Dr. Kingsbury brings a level of detail and craftsmanship rarely found in modern dentistry. Every restoration is shaped, stained, and finished with the same artistry used in fine porcelain work. That artistic training—paired with cutting-edge tools like CAD/CAM milling and 3D printing—allows us to create custom restorations that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth while supporting proper function and long-term oral health.

Advanced Digital Tools Deliver Accurate, Same-Day, Customized Care

Our practice uses state-of-the-art digital imaging, CAD/CAM design, and 3D printing to plan and complete treatment with exceptional accuracy. This technology allows us to design and fabricate crowns, inlays, onlays, and other restorations in a single visit—no messy impressions or multiple appointments. Every solution is tailored precisely to your bite, your anatomy, and your long-term health.

Relationship-Based Dentistry That Respects Your Story and Your Goals

We believe high-quality dentistry begins with truly understanding the person behind the smile. Dr. Kingsbury takes time to listen, to learn your concerns, and to build a plan that reflects your needs—not a generic checklist. Patients often tell us they feel seen, heard, and genuinely cared for. That human connection is at the heart of everything we do, and it’s what makes your experience here different from the moment you walk in.
