Dr. Kyle D. Kolquist, DDS

I am proud to say I was born and raised in Duluth. After graduating from Duluth East High School, I earned a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Notre Dame. I received my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Minnesota. I have been practicing here at Kenwood Dental since 2005. I actively spend numerous weeks per year continuing my dental education and improving my skill-set in areas such as dental implant placement at the Engel Institute, digital dentistry at Cerec doctors and comprehensive esthetic treatment at The Spear Institute in Scottsdale, AZ. I hope to never stop learning about perfecting my craft. I am passionate about the digital world of dentistry which allows my patients to receive the highest quality dental care in a very efficient time manner. I truly believe digital dentistry leaves a smaller footprint on our precious environment.

My goal as your dentist is to provide dentistry for YOU. You may seek the perfect smile that belongs on the cover of a magazine. You may seek a healthy smile that reflects our true given smile. Or you may seek a smile that just gets you where you need to be. To me, these all are perfect. It only depends on what dentistry is appropriate for YOU. Let me know what your goals are, and I will provide you with options on how to achieve the smile YOU desire. This is dentistry for YOU.

Outside of work, I enjoy time with my beautiful wife Liz and our energetic boys Konnor, Kaden, and Kameron. We all enjoy golfing and chasing the sport of Ironman triathlon. If you don’t find me swimming, biking, running or at a golf course, you will find me at Barnes & Noble reading fiction and enjoying a quiet cup of coffee. But let’s be honest, with three young boys, Barnes & Noble is more like a trip to the toy store.

What is your best dental hygiene tip?
My best hygiene tip is to brush your teeth in the shower. I feel like it is a place where you aren’t in a hurry. Your mindset is about making sure your entire body is clean, especially your teeth!

What is your best “smile story”?
My favorite smile is your typical seven-year-old. Big teeth in a small head. That innocent, unknowing smile always makes me smile.

What do you look forward to in the future of dentistry?
Maximizing the use of our microscopes. Microscopes have allowed me to see things and do things I haven’t been able to do for the first fifteen years of my career. This has been so satisfying and it excites me to share these experiences with all my patients.
