Dr. Shawn Keller's Pursuit of Modern Dentistry

For Dr. Keller, dentistry is the intersection of his passion for art and his desire to aid others. His struggles with persistent migraines and chronic pain, which were unresolved by traditional medicine, led him to explore and eventually embrace the field of dentistry. Modern dental solutions not only resolved his physiological issues by correcting his bite—thus eliminating his pain—but also allowed him to achieve the smile of his dreams. These experiences inspired him to adopt a comprehensive health-focused approach to dentistry, setting new standards and pioneering developments that have benefitted both patients and peers nationwide.

Same-Day New SmileTM

Dr. Keller developed the Same Day New SmileTM, a procedure that merges his artistic expertise with the latest in dental technology to deliver extraordinary results in just 24 hours.
