Dr. Christopher P Keldsen

Christopher Keldsen, DMD
As a dentist, I believe in the amazing benefits of a beautiful smile and I want to help you achieve a smile that gives you the confidence and happiness you deserve. Having healthy teeth and a beautiful smile is an extremely important aspect of life. It’s extremely rewarding to be able to enhance my patients’ quality of life by maintaining or restoring their smile to perfection.
I truly enjoy working with people, getting to know them, hearing their life experiences, and gaining their trust and friendship. Every day, my life is enriched and my vision broadened by what my patients share with me.
Education and Experience
I find it very rewarding to be able to help patients of all ages achieve and maintain functional, beautiful smiles. To do this, I’ve made sure that I have the education and training patients can feel confident in.
Bachelor of Science in general science — Portland State
Doctorate of Dental Medicine —OHSU School of Dentistry
General …Practice Residency —University of Utah
My commitment to continuing education began with my residency after graduation from dental school. I decided to pursue an additional year of training so I could offer more comprehensive care to my patients. Throughout my residency, I was trained by specialists in complex oral surgeries, endodontics, IV sedation, and implants. I currently participate in CEREC® and CAD/CAM dental education courses and am an active member of local and state dental organizations.
Outside the Office
I am originally from Portland, Oregon, and currently live in Bend with my wife, Stefanie, and our children, Eli and Paige. I spend most of my free time with my family. We love the endless opportunities available in Central Oregon to get outside and be together.  I enjoy mountain and road biking, skiing, hiking, camping, and sports. I am active in my church’s youth group and participate with Volunteers in Medicine.
