01Why Shively

Dentistry that finally feels different.

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.

A team that actually puts you at ease

Serious dentistry, delivered by people who are warm, calm and never make you feel rushed or judged — even if it’s been years.

We care for your whole health

A functional, whole-body approach means we catch the small things early — protecting your smile and saving you bigger, costlier problems later.

No surprises — you stay in control

Trust, transparency and collaboration. You’ll always understand your options and the cost before anything happens. Your call, every time.

02Meet Dr. Shively

He chose this work from the patient’s seat.

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.

“Dr. Shively and his team are wonderful! They recently started seeing my 3 year old who was nervous, but they made sure she was comfortable, relaxed and informed. When she left, she couldn’t stop talking about how much she loved getting her teeth cleaned. Thank y’all so much!”
