Your Dentist

Meet Dr. Blake Kingsbury

Dr. Blake Kingsbury is a general dentist with more than 17 years of experience, holding a Bachelor’s degree in Studio Art with a focus in Ceramics and Pottery from the University of Colorado in Boulder, CO, and a Doctorate of Medical Dentistry (DMD) from the Medical University of South Carolina.

His path to functional dentistry was deeply shaped by personal health challenges. At age 16, an emergency splenectomy left him with an impaired immune system, and early in his career, a broken back further transformed his perspective on health and recovery. He turned to functional medicine to help heal these issues, igniting his passion for functional medicine and dentistry, which emphasizes root causes over isolated symptoms to foster true, holistic healing.

Complementing this foundation, Dr. Kingsbury’s ceramics background brings precision, aesthetics, and durability to his restorative work. Today, he integrates functional principles with compassionate, patient-centered care, providing customized treatments that prioritize long-term function, comfort, and overall well-being.
