Dr. Christopher Keldsen

Dr. Keldsen knew long before he embarked on his journey that his passion was for dentistry and helping people. He began his dental career at Portland State University graduating in 2002 with his Bachelor of Science. Dr. Keldsen then went on to Oregon Health Science University, graduating with Honors in 2006 with his Doctrine of Medical Dentistry. He made the choice to further his education with an additional year of residency at the University of Utah specializing in Oral Surgery, Anesthesia, Implantology, Endodontics, and Periodontics.   This was a long journey for Dr. Keldsen and his family of four. Living in Portland, Oregon all his life, Dr. Keldsen and his family had a dream of living in Bend. When the opportunity came they were quick to move from Portland, Oregon to the sunnier skies of Bend, Oregon to enjoy the beautiful surroundings and all the different outdoor activities each season has to offer. Don't be surprised if you see Dr. Keldsen, his wife Stefanie, and two children Eli and Paige coming down the trail of Smith Rock!

"I have loved living here in Bend for 12 years now. My world is my family and my church. I have an 8 year old Sadee, and a 4 year old Alyssa, and my wonderful husband Shawn. We enjoy all the recreations each season has to offer. Bend is such a beautiful place to live.
I began my journey in the dental field 7 years ago and have loved it ever since. I started as a dental assistant and then realized the front office was my passion. I love working with people. I look forward to meeting people from all walks of life.”

"I’ve lived in Central Oregon for 10 years. I have two boys that are the center of my life. We keep active and enjoy all that Central Oregon has to offer. I enjoy motocross racing, trail riding, rodeos, and road trips. In the summer months I play on a coed softball team and spend a lot of time camping with my boys and friends.   I began my career in the dental field 11 years ago. I attended P.C.C. in Portland and continue to educate myself with continuing education classes and on the job experience. I have truly enjoyed many years of helping patients and working with dental staff during my career.  I recently began working with Dr. Keldsen and his staff in August 2008 and can’t imagine being anywhere else! We enjoyed working with our patients and helping them achieve the best dental care possible. We all work well together and try to make our patients feel as comfortable as possible.”
