Our Scottsdale Dentist

The dentist's dentist

"We believe creating beautiful smiles and providing exceptional dental care go hand in hand." Dr. Kelly practices at the cutting edge — using digital impressions and imaging for accuracy, and crafting lab-quality restorations in-house. The office is also a teaching center for other dentists and their teams.

Dr. Kelly earned his undergraduate degree in Chemistry at Stetson University (1989) and his DMD from the Medical College of Georgia School of Dentistry (1993). He practiced 17+ years in Orange City, Florida — serving as President of the Central Florida Academy of General Dentistry and dental director of the all-volunteer Good Samaritan Dental Clinic — before moving to Scottsdale to lead ADS in 2010.

Today he lectures dentists nationwide on advanced dentistry, serves as part-time faculty at Midwestern Dental School in Glendale, and acts as a Key Opinion Leader for Convergent Dental (Solea laser) and Carestream Dental — helping shape the future of dental technology. Outside the office, Dr. Kelly lives in Scottsdale with his wife; he has two married children and two grandchildren, and enjoys teaching, gourmet cooking, and time outdoors with family.
