Don K. Flowers, Jr, DMD - Family Dentistry and Orthodontics

About Us

I'm Dr. Don Flowers, a proud native of Kentucky, and I've had the privilege of practicing dentistry in Springfield, Kentucky, since 1989. I was born in Harlan County and grew up in Middlesboro. After earning my Bachelor of Science in Biology from Eastern Kentucky University, I went on to graduate from the University of Louisville School of Dentistry in 1988.

I’m deeply committed to staying current in my field, which is why I continuously pursue continuing education. Over the years, I’ve studied a wide range of topics—from facial growth and development in children to advanced techniques in complete denture fabrication, preventive care, and dental implant placement.

I’ve also completed two post-graduate programs in orthodontics for general dentists and have accumulated more than 700 hours of continuing education in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics, craniofacial pain and TMJ dysfunction, as well as snoring and sleep apnea. This training allows me to focus on my passion: helping patients who suffer from temporomandibular disorder (TMD), chronic migraines, and sleep-related breathing disorders like tooth grinding, snoring, and sleep apnea. My holistic and conservative approach has helped many patients experience relief from chronic headaches, migraines, and TMJ discomfort.

I strongly believe in the power of collaborative care and work closely with other healthcare professionals—whether it’s a massage therapist, chiropractor, osteopathic physician, or medical doctor—to provide the best possible outcomes for my patients.

When I’m not in the office, you’ll find me gardening (with moderate success), cooking and trying new recipes, making beer and wine, or preserving food through canning. Most of all, I cherish time spent with my grandchildren. My wife, Dana, and I have been married for 38 years and have worked together throughout that time—she’s also my Dental Hygienist, and our partnership extends from home to the practice we love.

FAQ

What orthodontic treatments do you offer in Springfield, KY?
I offer both Invisalign and traditional braces as part of my orthodontic services. Whether you're looking for a more discreet treatment with clear aligners or need traditional braces for more complex alignment issues, I provide customized solutions for both adults and children. With specialized training in orthodontics for general dentists, my experience ensures you’ll receive the most appropriate treatment tailored to your needs.
What are the benefits of dental implants, and how do they work?
Dental implants are a permanent, natural-looking solution for replacing missing teeth. I specialize in dental implants and offer a full range of restorative care, from single-tooth replacements to full-arch restorations. Implants not only improve your appearance and confidence but also restore chewing function, speech, and overall oral health. The process involves placing a titanium post in the jawbone, followed by attaching a crown, bridge, or denture. With my expertise, you can expect a long-lasting, comfortable result.
Do you offer pediatric dental care?
Yes, I provide pediatric dentistry (PED) services to children of all ages here in Springfield, KY. My goal is to create a positive and stress-free experience for kids, whether it’s their first dental visit or regular checkups. I offer preventive treatments like sealants and fluoride, as well as care for cavities and early orthodontic evaluations. I work closely with parents to help children develop good oral hygiene habits early, setting them up for a lifetime of healthy smiles.
How do you treat Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD) and sleep apnea?
I’m highly trained in diagnosing and treating TMD (Temporomandibular Disorder) and sleep apnea. Using a holistic and conservative approach, I offer effective treatments for jaw pain, chronic migraines, and sleep-related breathing disorders like snoring and teeth grinding. As part of my commitment to continuing education, I use custom oral appliances to help manage sleep apnea and relieve TMD symptoms, allowing you to sleep better and feel more comfortable during the day.

Why should I choose you as my dentist in Springfield, KY?
I bring over 30 years of experience to my practice, offering a wide range of services including Invisalign, dental implants, pediatric dentistry, and restorative care. I’m dedicated to staying current with the latest dental advancements through continuing education, specializing in orthodontics, TMD treatment, and sleep apnea solutions. My holistic, patient-centered approach emphasizes collaborative care, ensuring you receive the best possible treatment tailored to your needs
