Shawn Keahey, DDS was born and raised in Chicago, where he earned his bachelors degree in biology from Illinois Benedictine College. He was immediately invited to attend Northwestern Dental School, where he acquired his DDS in 1996. Dr. Keahey continued his education at Northwestern Dental School for two more years, being awarded Certificates of Achievement in Advanced General Dentistry and Geriatric Dentistry.

A significantly rewarding time in Dr. Keaheys career was the opportunity to serve with Poor Handmaidens of Christ, volunteering his dental services to underprivileged villages throughout Central America.

Since his induction in 1992, Dr. Keahey has maintained his membership with the dental fraternity Delta Sigma Delta. He was a member of the Chicago Dental Society and the Fox River Dental Society through his years of practice in Chicago. He continues to be a longtime member of the American Dental Association and has been a member of the Alabama Dental Association since moving to Alabama in 2003.

Dr. Keahey met his wife, Kimeran, through mutual friends while they were living in Chicago. They relocated to Kimerans home state of Alabama in 2003 to be closer to family. Married in 2003, they live in a historic Victorian home in Tallassee with their four children: triplets Connor, Ava, and Ethan, and Claire.

Chet Swartzentruber, DMD believes quality dentistry can change peoples lives. If you look better, you are going to feel better about yourself. If you eat better, you are going to be healthier, and your quality of life is going to improve. If you find that you have a cancer before it has spread, a life can be saved. Dr. Chet has helped patients live real stories like these, and their life-changing gratitude fuels his passion to help you too.

Quality and relationships are two pillars of Dr. Chets practice philosophy. In other words, if youre going to do something, do it well. In addition, he always remembers that there is a real person with real feelings and emotions connected to that tooth. He wants to recognize the needs of the whole person and, if possible, use his gifts to help change that life for the better.

Dr. Swartzentruber obtained a degree in civil engineering from Purdue University and worked some years in the real world before deciding to go to dental school. Sometimes he jokes that he used to build big bridges; now he builds little ones.

Dr. Chets engineering and dentistry talents have allowed him to help others in Africa and Central America. After college he lived six months in Uganda volunteering with Engineering Ministries International. During dental school, he traveled to Honduras and Costa Rica, extracting painful teeth for poor villagers. He looks forward to one day taking his kids to another country so they can gain some perspective on how blessed they truly are to live in America.

Although often credited to his engineering training, Dr. Chet will tell you that his problem-solving and creative abilities are a result of his farm upbringing. Its one thing to have book knowledge of a subject matter, its another to be able to apply that knowledge in a useful way. It is yet another to have the hand skills to artistically create physically what the mind has conceived. These are some of the qualities that make up a good clinical dentist.

Originally from rural southern Indiana, Dr. Swartzentruber attributes much of his values and character to the life lessons learned on the family farm. Hard work and dedication are two of his core beliefs. His most important conviction is that Jesus is Lord and God raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9). Dr. Chet, his wife Ashley, and their family attend Centerpoint Fellowship Church and would love for you to join them for worship sometime. Dr. Chet plays the drums in the worship band most Sundays.

Dr. Swartzentruber is in several professional associations, including the American Dental Association, the Alabama Dental Association, the Academy of General Dentistry, and the American Academy of Facial Esthetics.

At Carmichael Dental Care, youll be treated like a welcomed guest by each of our friendly staff members. We come to work every day with the goal of helping each patient leave just a little better than when they arrived. We look forward to helping you and your family enjoy healthy smiles for life. In the meantime, you can get to know us a bit here before your first visit!
