Meet Dr. Aric Kuehner: Your Hometown Dentist in Clyde, OH
There’s something special about walking into a place where people know your name. Where the person caring for you isn’t just a skilled professional; they’re also your neighbor, your friend, someone who chose to be here because this community matters to them.
Dr. Kuehner grew up about 90 miles southwest of Clyde, in the small town of Minster, Ohio. He knows what it means to be part of a community where people look out for one another. Where your reputation is built not on flashy promises, but on quiet competence, genuine kindness, and showing up for the people who count on you.
That same sense of neighborly care is what he brings to every patient who walks through our doors on McPherson Highway.
From Minster to McPherson Highway: A Journey Home
After graduating from Minster Local High School in 1995, Dr. Kuehner earned his Bachelor’s degree in Biology from Xavier University. From there, he was accepted into one of the nation’s finest dental programs: The Ohio State University College of Dentistry.
But Dr. Kuehner didn’t stop there. Upon earning his Doctorate of Dental Surgery in 2004, he completed a one-year residency in Advanced General and Hospital Dentistry at The Ohio State University Medical Center.
This hospital residency is significant and rare. It means Dr. Kuehner received advanced training in a medical hospital setting, working alongside physicians and specialists to manage complex dental cases, medical emergencies, and patients with unique health needs. This is where he developed his deep expertise in:
- Emergency Care: Treating severe tooth pain, infections, and dental trauma with precision and calm.
- Oral Surgery: Performing complex tooth extractions and surgical procedures right here in Clyde.
- Endodontics (Root Canals): Saving natural teeth with thousands of successful root canals under his belt.
This advanced training sets Dr. Kuehner apart. It means that for many procedures, you don’t need a referral to a distant specialist. You can receive exceptional, comprehensive care right here in your hometown.
Experience You Can Trust
After his residency, Dr. Kuehner practiced dentistry in private offices across Columbus, Cincinnati, and the Mansfield area. For over two decades, he has honed his skills, treated thousands of patients, and developed a philosophy of care that is both highly skilled and deeply compassionate.
Now, he brings that experience to Clyde. When you place your trust in Dr. Kuehner, you’re not getting a dentist who rushes through appointments or treats you like a number on a chart. You’re getting a doctor who:
- Personally reviews every treatment plan. No delegation to untrained staff. Dr. Kuehner himself ensures your care is thoughtful, thorough, and tailored to you.
- Performs complex procedures personally. From dental implants to All-on-Four same-day smiles, from preventive care to root canal therapy, Dr. Kuehner is there every step of the way.
- Listens first, treats second. He knows that behind every dental concern is a person with unique hopes, worries, and needs. His approach begins with understanding yours.
In His Own Words: Skill and Compassion, Together
We could tell you all day what kind of dentist Dr. Kuehner is. But he says it best himself:
“Skill and compassion go hand in hand when providing exceptional patient care. As a dental professional, I stay up to date on the latest advancements in dentistry in order to provide the most current treatment options for my patients. As a doctor, I recognize that my patients are unique individuals who have placed a great deal of trust in me and my team. That is just one reason why I value each and every patient relationship.” – Dr. Aric Kuehner
That quote is the foundation of how Premier Dental operates, every single day.
