Dr. Richard Kernagis has focused on cosmetic dentistry for over a decade.
“One of the most rewarding parts of my job is restoring patients’ confidence to be themselves,” Dr. Kernagis says.
He is one of the only local cosmetic dentists offering Smile Virtual Consultations and performing Smile Test Drives. Without leaving home, anyone can upload a smile photo to app.smilevirtual.com/Dr-Richard-Kernagis or @RickKernagisDMD on Instagram. They will be sent a personalized smile design video and plan. Then, they can try on their new smile before anything permanent is done.
“I enjoy seeing our patients’ reactions the first time they see their new smile in the mirror,” Dr. Kernagis says. “Some patients haven’t really smiled in years.”
What sets his team apart is how they invest quality time upfront learning patients’ desired outcome to help customize their smiles.
Dr. Kernagis offers porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, Invisalign clear braces, same-day crowns and dental implants. He also focuses on facial aesthetics, lip enhancements and cheek augmentations.
“I really look at the face as a whole and see what’s going to work best together,” he says.
Patients can choose from light sedation to fully asleep for optimal comfort.
Dr. Kernagis is a sustaining member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry and American Academy of Facial Aesthetics.
He completed continuing education courses in cosmetic dentistry and facial aesthetics, with an emphasis in Digital Smile Design, as well as Invisalign and guided surgery dental implants.
He studied undergraduate at the University of Florida and graduated from the College of Dentistry in 1999, where he met his future wife, Dr. Jennifer Wynn Kernagis.
Dr. Kernagis enjoys spending time with his wife and two children, traveling, playing golf and attending Tampa Bay Lightning and Buccaneers games.
