Meet Dentist Dr. Amy Kimes

Dr. Amy Kimes was born in Fayetteville and grew up in Taylorsville, NC. Both of her parents were also dentists. She attended high school at N.C. School of Science and Math in Durham, N.C. before graduating from UNC-Chapel Hill with a degree in Chemistry, and then completing her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree at UNC School of Dentistry in 2002.

After completing her dental degree, Dr. Kimes began her service in the US Navy at Camp Lejeune by completing an Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) residency program. While at Camp Lejeune, Dr. Kimes joined the 22D Marine Expeditionary Unit to provide care for 2,200 Sailors and Marines. Dr. Kimes was deployed aboard the USS Shreveport and was stationed at Kandahar Air Base in Afghanistan with the 22D MEU. After returning from deployment, Dr. Kimes was reassigned to the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California. There she provided dental care for military officers pursuing advanced degrees.

In 2008, Dr. Kimes moved to Mount Olive to raise her family and practice general dentistry. She took over an existing dental practice that had been in operation since 1969. A massive renovation of the office began, bringing new equipment, digital technology, and a new sunny attitude into the office. We offer quality of service that we believe is comparable to that found in any big city, but with a down-home attitude.

Dr. Kimes philosophy is simple; prevention and restoration for the entire family. We want to help you, and your family keep your smile healthy and beautiful for a lifetime. The only way for you to have a strong healthy smile is to have a good foundation. That foundation starts directly with a good doctor-patient relationship. Dr. Kimes knows it is important to take the time to listen to concerns and address them for each individual patient. Your smile says a lot about you…and a lot about Dr. Kimes. She takes pride in helping you look and feel your best.

When not in the office, Dr. Kimes spends time volunteering as a dentist for children’s dental screenings. She is constantly attending advanced training around the country and has been awarded the prestigious Mastership in the Academy of General Dentistry. A general dentist who is a Master in the Academy of General Dentistry (MAGD) has been recognized by other general dentists as a leader and dedicated to knowing as much as possible about new techniques and developments in dentistry. To earn the MAGD, a dentist must complete a minimum of 1200 continuing dental education credit hours and pass a comprehensive exam.

In her personal life, Dr. Kimes enjoys spending time with her husband, Eric, and their four growing children. She loves gardening, reading, exercising, and taking care of her chickens!
