Grimm Kimberly

Dental care in the eastern hills of Kentucky doesn’t have to mean a long drive. Grimm Kimberly handles routine checkups and more along Co Rd 3188, just outside Martin. The office covers everything from cleanings to fillings, crowns, and emergency repairs, so you can skip the trip into town for most visits.

Finding the place is easier than you’d think—turn off Highway 80 near the old coal museum and follow the signs toward Inez. The address, 196 Co Rd 3188, puts you right in the mix of quiet hollows and rolling ridges where folks still wave at passing cars. It’s the kind of spot where neighbors ask how your family’s doing while you’re waiting, though you won’t hear that from me since I’ve never stepped inside.

Most people call when a tooth starts acting up or the calendar nudges them toward a six-month cleaning. If that’s you, jot down (606) 285-9317 and ring them when the ache won’t quit or the kids need their braces checked. They’ll walk you through what to expect before you ever walk through the door, which saves a lot of second-guessing.

For directions, pull up the map on your phone before you leave—cell service gets spotty once you pass the last convenience store. The drive itself is half the reason people keep coming back; the road winds past creeks and old tobacco barns, so the trip feels less like an errand and more like a slow cruise through the county you call home.
