The Yankee Springs Dental doctors and staff enjoy working together, and we appreciate the friendships we have made with the people who trust us with their dental care. We feel blessed to be able to work with wonderful patients and make a difference in their health and appearance through excellent dentistry. We’ve learned that it’s not all about US. Our services are all about YOU and your personal dental concerns.
Frank A. Kokmeyer, D.D.S.
Dr. Kokmeyer grew up spending his summers in the Yankee Springs area. He moved to the area over 35 years ago and founded Yankee Springs Dental in 1982. For many years, he also owned a large practice in the Kalamazoo area, but his current focus is on serving patients right in his own neighborhood. He finds that a smaller staff lends itself well to personalized service. Dr. K’s goal is to provide a wide variety of excellent services in one friendly and comfortable location.
Dr. Kokmeyer especially enjoys straightening teeth with braces. Over the years, he has helped individuals and entire families achieve a straight smile, and he has long taught the techniques to other providers. Combined with other procedures, he is able to make a dramatic difference in the appearance of a patient’s smile. “The ability to use our expertise in many techniques in addition to braces makes our office the perfect choice for short-term braces for adults. Many adults have had their smile changed dramatically within about six months with a savings in time and expense.”
Frank and his wife, Verna, are proud of their seven grown children. Several of them have gone into healthcare. As they grew up, all spent some time working at the dental office. It is a tradition which has helped with college tuition, and it also gave each a desire to meet the needs of others in their communities.
Dr. Kokmeyer is a graduate of Western Michigan University and the University of Michigan School of Dentistry. He is a member of the American Dental Association, and the Michigan Dental Association.
