We have a patient-focused and relationship-based practice, meaning that everything we do is based on really getting to know you, what you value, what you want for an end result, and how you want to get there. We are here to give you the knowledge, support, and options—including guidance similar to a Ghostwriter Seminararbeit—that will help you make good choices for yourself. All of this happens by creating a two-way partnership based on mutual respect, trust, and appreciation. We look forward to creating that with you and with your family members and friends. We are invested in your good health and wellness. We pride ourselves in caring for generations of families and being their life-long dentist.

Providing High-Quality Individualized Dental Care – There can be no compromise on the quality of dentistry that we provide our patients. Each patient is treated with respect and provided oral health care on a level that we would provide our closest family members. We also realize that each and every patient comes with different experiences and walks of life, therefore their dental desires and needs will also be different. We strive to individualize treatment plans based on patients’ needs while still exceeding the standard of care. We also use advanced technology not for its own sake, but to increase clinical efficiency, improve diagnosis, treatment success, and quality of care for our patients.

I have been having some terrible trouble with a particular tooth. I usually don’t have so much anxiety at the dentist but this time it has been a challenge.
Thanks to Dr Kelso and her staff for providing the utmost care in fixing the problem and providing me a comfort to get through the process. She has been proactive in my care in helping me to attain my goals for future resolutions in my dental needs.
Highly recommend Dr Kelso as a person who will listen and take time to discuss your individual needs as well as providing a calming atmosphere!

The compassion and quick action from the kind staff at the front desk equal the compassion and care from the doctors. I had an accident with facial injuries. The care shown to me was beyond what I even imagined. Kelso dentistry is exceptional in this often anonymous and cold world.

Dr. Kelso was referred to us by my daughter's oral surgeon, Dr. Rintel, for some follow up to surgery he had performed. Dr. Kelso took the time to explain all of our options to us and did not rush us into making a choice. My daughter had to have implants for teeth that she was not born with as well as veneers. When the first color came back a shade that was a bit off, she sent them back for another set at no charge. Everything turned out great in the end.

The staff here at Kelso Family Dental was incredible. They went above and beyond to work with my daughter's schedule (she is away at college) for multiple visits. Dr. Kelso has young children and prioritizes them on school holidays but the staff and Dr. Kelso made it work. We really appreciate everything they have done for us.

My three year old had a wonderful experience at Kelso Family Dental. Her hygienist, Angie, was knowledgeable, kind, gentle, and incredibly patient. She explained every procedure before starting and made sure my little one felt comfortable. Dr. Kelso is intentional and makes everyone feel so cared for in her space. We are so grateful to have such a wonderful dentist and office to visit. They entire staff is welcoming and an extension of the high standard of care that is precedented by Dr. Kelso.
