Dr. Franklin Kindl, DDS

Dental care rarely makes anyone’s shortlist of pleasant errands. Then there’s Dr. Franklin Kindl, DDS. They anchor Locust Street in downtown Akron, a corridor often passed quickly on the way to places that feel livelier. The office sits at 300 Locust St # 430, a practical base for routine check-ups, fillings, or crown work. Area residents find it a reliable stop when surprises pop up on the calendar.

Prevention still drives most appointments. Patients swing by for periodic cleanings, sealants on molars, and in-office whitening—tasks that keep bigger interventions at bay. Oral surgery in the building handles extractions, minor implants, and the occasional emergency. Orthodontic referrals are handled on-site; aligners move smiles forward without leaving the practice. They dispatch kids for sealants soon after the first molars appear. Anyone chasing relief from grinding or TMJ gets fitted for a night guard in the same chair.

Location matters more than it used to. A surprising number of commuters now link the visit to their regular loop—downtown Akron’s one-way network spits them out right in front of the building. Street parking on weekday mornings still outpaces traffic on the sidewalks, another reason the stop feels almost convenient. Drivers heading toward the university or park occasionally double-park, which says something about foot traffic versus car time.

Talk business at (330) 535-7876 or pull directions from the map. No frills—just appointments and afternoons that run neither too long nor too short. Old-world dentistry meets modern side streets.
