Experience the Difference at Kemmet Dental Design

This is not your average dental office. There's no cold, clinical feel here. You're not going to be rushed through an uncomfortable cleaning with an impersonal hygienist. You won't have a mysterious dentist suddenly appear to look into your mouth, only to walk away a couple of seconds and a few indistinguishable grunts later. And you won't be pressured into treatments you don't understand, want, or need.

The Kemmet Dental Design Mission

We help our patients maintain the highest level of oral health appropriate for their own personal set of values. We are dedicated not only to technical quality, but also to each other. Our purpose is to serve the community, but also to be an example of a caring, positive, and enjoyable place to visit and work.

We achieve our mission by focusing our efforts on two fundamental values: People and Product.

Meet Dr. Lindell Kemmet

Dr. Kemmet is happy to finally be back and practicing dentistry in his home state of North Dakota! After receiving degrees from North Dakota State University (NDSU) and the University of Minnesota, Dr. Kemmet spent a few years at dental practices in neighboring states. Now, at Kemmet Dental Design in Minot, he's proud to offer his patients advanced digital technologies and treatment techniques. He absolutely loves helping people find the beautiful smiles they've always wanted!

Growing up in Tappen, ND, Dr. Kemmet gained an appreciation for all that North Dakota has to offer, as well as a love for the small-town lifestyle. His mother worked as a nurse and his father as a well-driller, so it's easy to see how the combination of his mother's medical experience and his father's drilling skill made dentistry a natural choice for him!

In his free time, Dr. Kemmet enjoys taking advantage of all the outdoor activities North Dakota has to offer. He enjoys hunting, fishing, hiking, and camping. He also enjoys snowboarding when he can find a mountain and the time! But if you ask Dr. Kemmet what the most compelling draw to North Dakota is, he will tell you, without hesitation, it's the people.

Professionalism is important to Dr. Kemmet, and he's always looking to learn more. He spends numerous hours each year - often during his weekends - attending classes and seminars to hone his skills. He sits on the Board of Directors for the University of Missesotat School of Dentistry Alumni Association. He's also an active member of the American Dental Association, the North Dakota Dental Association, the Minot Dental Club, and the Minnesota Dental Association.
