I believe having a personal connection with each personallows for a greater trust and a better outcome to all dental procedures, as I fully understand what patients want and need. One of the most rewarding aspects ofdentistry, I feel, is the daily challenge of finding a solution to each individuals situation. Our conversations play a large role in identifying the ideal approach that works for a persons clinical and personal needs, for the best experience and results.

As a boy, I grew up listening to my uncle talk about his career as a pediatric dentist and the enjoyment he found in caring for others. This inspiration, combined with my passion for art and science, drew me to the field: I knew I wanted to go into healthcare, and being able to join helping others with artistry seemed like the perfect option!

I received both my Bachelor of Science and my Doctorate of Dental Surgery from the University of Michigan. Following dental school, I completed a one-year advanced education in general dentistryresidency while stationed at Joint Base Lewis McChord in Washington as a Captain in the Army.

Along with my love of learning who my patients are, and sharing in their lives, I also have a strong desire to further my professional knowledge. Through continuing education, including with a local study group coordinated by an oral surgeon, I stay informed of the latest changes developments in dentistry.

I grew up in Spring Lake, and now consider Brighton to be home. Amanda, my wife, graduated from the University of Michigan with her degree in dental hygiene. She is currently the Keeton Family Dentistry office manager while staying at home and caring for our two children. Our daughter, Elloise,loves to dance! Nate, our son, loves all things planes and trains! And we are expecting our third child in August! Our family is rounded out by our pup, Brayden, who is a Shiba Inu.

I am an avid sports fan, too: specifically, University of Michigan. I can talk all things sports and love to do so. We have season tickets to Michigan football and cant wait to be able to get back in the Big House! If I ever have a few kid-free moments, I love to golf, but with two little ones, and a third soon arriving, those moments are difficult to find. Im not complaining, I promise!

Our entire staff really does embody our office philosophy. We know that educating patients, and making them feel heard, understood, and at ease in every interaction is vital to maintaining and improving their oral health! Dr. Keeton

Our hygiene department is excited and ready to be an integral part of each patients oral health. The hygienists are passionate about educating patients and ensuring each understands why a procedure is done and how to maintain their oral health at home. Our hygienists make sure each patient is comfortable in the chair and will happily do everything possible to keep a smile on our patients faces!

When Im not helping people strengthen and maintain their oral health, I am usually with my family. My husband Ben and I married in 2016. We have two kids, Madelynn and Chase, and a dog named Max. We love going up north and spending time with our family and friends.

Our patients are some of the most amazing people. I am happy to help each develop and keep their healthiest smile! Dr. Keeton does great dentistry and his dedication is shared by everyone on our team. We enjoy working side-by-side to provide the best dentistry!

Outside the office, I treasure time with my amazing daughter. I also enjoy quilting, quilting, and more quilting! When Im not quilting, I enjoy wool appliqu with embroidery and like to do jigsaw puzzles, too.

Our assistants are the backbone of our office: They make sure each patient is comfortable, ready, and understands the procedure well be doing. They answer questions, provide education and support, and truly share an interest in each patients overall health and life. Our assistants are always warm, smiling, and attentive to our patients needs!

It doesnt feel like work when you love what you do and work alongside people you care about! Dr. Keeton is very knowledgeable and patient, our staff is genuinely kind, caring, and helpful, and our patients are the best people in the world!

Outside of work, I enjoy time with my family, whether camping and kayaking or visiting Disney World. My personal hobby is crafting with my Cricut machine and sewing. I have been a volunteer with the Livingston County Toys for Tots through the Marine Corps for 20 years. I also enjoy volunteering for various community events downtown!

I love everything about my job: the fast pace, mingling with patients all day, my close-knit group of coworkers, educating people, creativity, and critical thinking! Dr. Keeton is a really great dentist who does beautiful dentistry in a conservative manner. And the Keeton Family Dentistry team is secondtonone. Everyone is fun, inviting, experienced, and loves helping our patients!

Family keeps me busy in my free time. My long-term boyfriend, Bob, and I have three amazing children: Sean, Brody, and Miliana. We love to head up north to hit the ORV trails and travel whenever we can. I enjoy horticulture, gardening, refurbishing things, and spending time with my awesome family!

Our front office staff keeps the office up and running. They are personable and ready to do all they can to accommodate the individual needs of patients. They go the extra mile, from greeting everyone with warm smiles to ensuring patients leave feeling proud and happy with their completed work. Our front office team members are glad to answer questions to the best of their ability and, if for some reason they dont know the answer, they will find it!

Our patients are incredible and I absolutely love developing relationships with them. It is important we have a trusting rapport, sincewe review insurance, financials, and treatment planning while advocating overall wellness. Keeton Family Dentistry is a fun group: we all work so well together and everyone has each others backs. We are always laughing and keep our patients laughing along with us!

Family activities keep me onthego outside of work. My husband Mike and I have four beautiful children: three daughters and a son. We love watching them participate in their sporting activities and are often found cheering for them and their teams from the sidelines. Our family also has two dogs, a Black Lab and a Bernedoodle, that we absolutely love. When we can get away, I enjoy spending day on the lake or taking family trips in our camper.

I love seeing our patients transform their smiles, and gaining oral health and confidence! We have an incredible family atmosphere at our office. Our staff is talented and caring, and Dr. Keeton does impeccable work. I love that I can stand by my doctor and coworkers with confidence, knowing that our patients are in excellent hands!

In addition to being part of Keeton Family Dentistry, I am working toward my associates degree in business at Washtenaw Community College. Im also engaged and planning a wedding for July 2021. My fianc and I own a house in downtown Brighton. We dont have kidsyet, but definitely plan to start a family once we are married. However, we do have our beloved Pomeranian, Remington, who is our entire world.
