Being an orthodontist is more than straightening teeth and correcting bites: its abouttransformation, inside and out. Every day I have the opportunity to make a difference in our patients'lives,from feeling self-conscious about their appearance to feeling confident and smiling.I enjoy the bonds that form during treatment. Seeing a patient regularly, and spending time talking and sharing stories allows me to get to know each of our patients and their families, as well as their interests when they aren't in the orthodontic chair.
We have a wonderful team at Zeh Orthodontics.Each of them has been through the orthodontic experience, some on their own, some with their children. This gives them insight into what our patients and parents experience and allows them to clearly answer questions and provide encouragement.
Orthodontics is constantly changing, and the arrival of new technologies, appliances, and techniques mean more and better options for patients. Throughout the year I complete many hours of continuing education, as well as attend meetings and lectures. This keeps me current on developments and allows me to determine what does and doesnt work.
Additionally, Im an active member of several professional orthodontic and dental organizations. These memberships allow me to learn from the leading researchers and practitioners in the field and from my fellow orthodontists, too. I am a member of the:
I attended Bellarmine University for my Bachelors degree. I then moved to Lexington to attend theUniversity of Kentucky, where I earned myDoctorate of Dental Medicine (DMD). I stayed at UK to completea three-year orthodontic residency and earned a Master of Science (MS) degree.
Ive livedin Louisville for most of mylife, except when I was in Lexington for my dental and orthodontic education. When not in the office, Im usually spending time with my wife Katherine, our son Elliott, our daughter Claire, and our dog Bella. We enjoy going on walks and to the park together. I also enjoy working on cars, out in the yard and playing golf.
Even after practicing orthodontics for 30 years, I am still excited to come to the office every morning. I absolutely love what I do and am grateful to have the opportunity to provide orthodontic services to my patients. A great smile can raise self-esteem and is a wonderful asset that my patients can enjoy for a lifetime.
I attended the University of Kentucky for my undergraduate studies and continued on to the University of Kentucky College of Dentistry where I received my Doctorate of Dental Medicine in 1976. I practiced as a general dentist in Louisville for four years before returning to the University of Kentucky College of Dentistry for an intense two year specialty training program in orthodontics. In 1983, I earned my Certificate in Orthodontics as well as my Master of Science in Dentistry.
I take several continuing education courses every year to stay current with constantly advancing orthodontic technology and treatment options. In addition to these courses, I say involved with the greater orthodontic community by being an active member in several professional organizations, including the:
All my team members are parents who have gone through the orthodontic treatment experience with their children, themselves, or both. They understand our patients concerns and always take the time to explain everything in detail. I am proud to work with such a professional, dedicated, and excellent group of people.
I get to help patients achieve the smile they have always wanted by handling the financial portion of treatment. I handle contracts, payment plans and insurance matters, including filing and follow up, so people dont need to stress over the paperwork. My goal is to develop ond provide a plan that accomplishes the patient's goals and also makes it as affordable as possible.
I really like working with patients, parents, and our amazing doctors and team. Together, we create lifetimes of smiles and my days are filled with laughter and interesting conversations. I work in our front office, checking patients in, helping to schedule, and answering questions about treatment and finances.
