Being a successful reality TV star, cosmetic dentist, entrepreneur, wife, and supermom isn’t easy but Dr. Heavenly Kimes makes it work. With dentistry as her first passion, she has over 20 years in the Dentistry field. Smiles by Dr. Heavenly has continually thrived by performing aesthetically pleasing cosmetic services, separating her one-stop shop from other practices.
As Bravo Tv’s most popular dentist, she claims her success is “surreal.” She says, “you’d think reality TV would have a negative stigma but it has “given me a platform to show people what I can do and catapulted her business.” Married to Medicine has taught her about her strong personality, and how important family is stating “ I think that one thing I realize is you really love your family and when conflict comes towards you you can see who really has your back.”
Dr. Heavenly is an HBCU graduate from Florida A&M University and graduated at the top of her class with a Doctorate of Dental Surgery from Meharry Medical College. She is currently a member of both the American Academy of General Dentistry and the National Dentistry Association and the Georgia Dental Society.
Dr. Heavenly is a serial entrepreneur with her multi-million dollar dentist corporation and her at-home teeth whitening system, Smile Changers. Kimes decided to dominate other areas of beauty with the opening of her Heavenly Beauty Supply store in Conyers, GA as a “challenge.” She wants to show her teenage daughter, Alaura Kimes, that “she can be successful in any industry.” With the help of her good friend, Lia Dias of Married to Medicine LA, she was able to get the tools needed to open the establishment. Heavenly Beauty Supply serves as a one-shop stop for hair, beauty, fashion, and other aesthetic needs. Patrons can also receive hair and makeup services on site.
As a compassionate medical professional, Dr. Heavenly is always giving back. She and her husband, Dr. Damon Kimes, held a COVID-19 drive in 2020 during the peak of the pandemic. She also provides free dental makeover yearly, helping those who regain their confidence by giving them a Heavenly smile. One of her notable makeovers was on Miracle Boyd, an Instagram influencer with no teeth that speaks about self-confidence, and some of her celeb friends. During the grand opening of Heavenly Beauty Supply, two lucky women who were selected to win a new smile and a beauty makeover from Dr. Heavenly were revealed.
Her children are her biggest inspirations and motivate her to keep pushing. As a family with three children, who also aspire to be doctors, she and her husband want to be someone they admire. Also, they want to instill in them that they can do anything they put their minds to. She also notes that education is important since it is something that people can fall back on.
If Dr. Heavenly could offer one piece of advice to the younger generation, it is the value of working hard because working hard and consistency are the keys to success; because as the old saying goes, “nothing big comes easy.” When people look back at Dr. Heavenly’s legacy, she wants them to see that with God and the power of prayer, you can do any and everything.
