Dr. Keith grew up in Jefferson, Texas.

Dr. Keith received his advanced laser certification from Dr. Robert Gregg and Dr. Delwin McCarthy, co-founders of Millenium Dental Technologies in Cerritos, California.

Dr. Keith's approach to treating gum disease is through the use of the world's first all digital dental laser, called the Periolase MVP- 7. He has been using the laser since 2002 for all types of soft tissue surgeries and has obtained outstanding results. It offers the patient another option to conventional gum surgery without the use of a scalpel or sutures.

Dr. Keith completed a course of study in implant dentistry at the Misch International Implant Institute in Detroit, Michigan. The course was taught by Dr. Carl Misch, a true pioneer of implant dentistry.

Now world renown, the Institute's unique approach to provide the most progressive and documented information and extensive hands-on experience has awarded its graduates with experiences they will use throughout their careers.
