Most people put the dentist off for years. Here, the dread quietly fades — replaced by a team that knows your name, listens before they begin, and leaves your whole family genuinely glad they came.
01Why Shively
Up-front, honest, patient-centered care is hard to come by — but not here. Our team genuinely loves getting to know every person who walks in, so the appointment you used to dread becomes one you don’t mind at all.
Meet Dr. ShivelySerious dentistry, delivered by people who are warm, calm and never make you feel rushed or judged — even if it’s been years.

Trust, transparency and collaboration. You’ll always understand your options and the cost before anything happens. Your call, every time.
02Meet Dr. Shively
A childhood bike accident is what first brought Dr. Kevin Shively into a dentist’s chair — and it’s the reason he became one. Today he’s on the other side of it, with a practice built around that same calm: unhurried, honest and genuinely personal care.
You’re met by name, listened to before anything begins, and walked through every option in plain language — your call, every step. His approach is whole-body and functional, and he keeps training at the Dawson Academy so the work is done right the first time.
