Kimberly McNeal, MS, DMD

Nobody was surprised when Kimberly McNeal graduated at the top of her class at the University of Kentucky. This native Texan tackled everything she undertook with tenacity. Her decision to study medicine was no different. Once she’d completed her infectious disease and microbiology master’s, she set her sights on an orthodontic career. She quickly landed a residency at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, one of the most prestigious in the country. She also pursued a certificate from the Wharton School of Business in mastering the business of orthodontics.

Orthodontics has proven to be an ideal career for Dr. McNeal. “I have absolutely enjoyed a career that allows me to form lifelong connections with my patients and, at the same time, challenges me to continually reeducate myself as science advances,” Dr. McNeal said. “There’s always something new to learn and something better to offer my patients.”

Her latest challenge has been applying three decades of experience into designing and building the new McNeal Orthodontics in Celina. Consistently a pioneer in her field, Dr. McNeal, has amassed the latest advanced technology at her new practice. She will be offering patients of all ages a comprehensive menu of orthodontic care, distinguished by her hallmark expertise and
personalized approach.

As the only female-owned, private orthodontic practice in Celina and led by a dental specialist that patients voted Best Orthodontist three years running, McNeal Orthodontics will offer a full menu of orthodontic treatment, including customized bracket placement, comprehensive growth guidance, remote monitoring of her patients’ progress, and OrthoFi technology to help families finance orthodontic treatment.

“Damon Braces are truly the pinnacle of orthodontic care,” Dr. McNeal said. “Their light-force, high-technology, shape-memory wires move teeth faster and more comfortably while maintaining bone health. While treatment time can vary, the Damon System has been proven to treat faster and require fewer office visits than traditional braces.” The Damon Digital Bonding system also allows Dr. McNeal to offer completely customized and dedicated treatment designed specifically for each patient.

For patients who prefer clear aligners, Dr. McNeal offers the Spark Aligner System to straighten teeth with precision and comfort that’s virtually undetectable. “Made from TruGen, a proprietary material known for its clarity and stain resistance, Spark aligners can straighten your teeth without compromising aesthetics and often in less time that other aligners,” she said.

For patients, this advanced technology enhances the warm, compassionate care they already receive from Dr. Mac and her highly certified team. They are here to guide you on your journey. Your smile is their brand!

When not providing elite orthodontic care, Dr. McNeal loves spending time with her husband, Ralf, a fellow dental professional, and their family. The two are passionate supporters of the Animal Refuge Foundation and are thrilled about relocating to Celina.
