Meet Our Lindale Dental Team
Dr. Clay Keith
Hello! I’m Dr. Clay Keith.
My philosophy for patient care has always been very straightforward: provide my patients with enough information to make good decisions concerning their dental health. I believe in always being honest, gentle, never judgemental, extensively compassionate, and consistently understanding. Many times, my patients will hear me say, “If you were my family member, this is what I would recommend.” It is so true! This feeling has always guided me to make the right decisions concerning patient care.
Paul Denson, D.D.S.
Hello, I’m Dr. Paul Denson.
Behind our drive at The Center for Implant and General Dentistry, you will find my established philosophy: strive for perfection but settle for excellence. Our belief is that the best dental care is fostered through communications and utilization of the latest techniques and materials. I am excited to meet you in our new state of the art facility with the most current in dental technology that allows us to deliver 21st-century dentistry in a warm and inviting atmosphere.
