CENTER FOR IMPLANT & GENERAL DENTISTRY - Key Persons

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.

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. I am a native of Tyler, Texas and graduated from Chapel Hill High School. I began my education at Tyler Junior College and received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Biology from the University of Texas at Tyler. I earned my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Baylor College of Dentistry where I graduated in the top 10 percent of my class. While at Baylor I was a member of the Odontological Honor Society where I was president in 2007. Following graduation from Baylor College of Dentistry, I returned home to East Texas to practice dentistry with Dr. John Watkins and Dr. Clay Keith. For professional development, I maintain memberships with American Dental Association, Texas Dental Association, American Academy of General Dentistry, as well as the Smith County Dental Society where I was president in 2012. When I am not caring for patients, I nurture my hobby of fishing for the "elusive 10 pound bass" on Lake Fork. My wife, Arica, is also a native East Texan, having grown up in Grand Saline. We have two beautiful daughters, Elle and Eden. As a family we enjoy being outdoors and cheering on the Texas Longhorns. HOOK'EM! I look forward to seeing you relax comfortably in one of our new dental chairs, enjoying the scenery as the amazing staff and I provide excellent dental care for you and your family.
