Dr. Tatum L. Kinder, DDS

Dental care in Kingsport doesn’t always require a trip downtown. On East Stone Drive, routine checkups and restorative work share the same quiet stretch as medical offices and a few low-key retail spots. This part of town moves at its own pace, which suits the kind of practice where fillings, crowns, and occasional emergencies get handled without the frills of a spa-like atmosphere. The address—1420 E Stone Dr, Kingsport, TN 37660—sits just off the main drag, close enough to the bypass that out-of-towners won’t waste time circling side streets.

Cleanings, extractions, and the inevitable lecture about flossing happen here under the same unassuming roof. For anyone mapping out their next appointment, the directions plot a route past the usual chain pharmacies and a handful of older brick buildings that still house family-run businesses. Add contact info once near the end: call (423) 247-6961. The surrounding blocks don’t offer much in the way of post-appointment distractions, but that’s half the appeal—no temptation to linger when there’s a prescription to pick up or a workday to resume.
