About
Two weeks after I was born, the neighbor lady came over and said, "Oh, he looks "chipper" today.". I had a three year old sister who started calling me Chipper and the name stuck, so I've been nicknamed "Chip" ever since.
In 3rd grade I was hit in the mouth with a baseball which knocked out my tooth. That experience proved to be traumatic to a point where I decided at that young age to become a dentist figuring there had to be a better way. In 1976 after my junior year at Hamline University I had the honor of meeting Senator Hubert H. Humphrey whom on my behalf recommended me to the dean of students at the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry. That coupled with my early desire to be a dentist started me on this wonderful journey. I graduated in 1981 with a DDS degree.
Coming from a family of educators I believe that there is always much to be learned and getting the best education is key to giving your patients the ultimate dental experience. I am so thankful for finding the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies - it has renewed my enthusiasm for my work and I know without a doubt that I am getting the absolute best education available in my field. I received my LVI Fellowship in September, 2011. To be taught by the brilliant minds at LVI means the world to me and knowing this journey never has to end is gratifying.

5 stars Roberta W Featured review
I was recommended to Dr. Kinnunen by a personal friend. The staff is very friendly and give superb customer service. You feel like part of their family. The office is beautiful, exceptionally clean and warm atmosphere. Dr. Kinnunen is very kind and personable. He explains everything in detail and you are at ease during the time you spend in the dental chair. I have been to the office twice and know everyone's name. The staff is very complimentary to their employer and there is a mutual respect for each other. My only complaint is that I wish I had known about Dr. Kinnunen when I first moved to Lake Placid in 2008. His office is very convenient to Publix In Lake Placid and has plenty of parking.
