Dr. William Keeton

Dr. William Keeton, DDS, MS, is a board-certified pediatric dentist who is passionate about creating positive dental experiences for children and helping them build healthy smiles for life. With a unique background that blends science, education, and healthcare, Dr. Keeton brings a wealth of expertise and a compassionate touch to Utah Children’s Dentistry.

Dr. Keeton’s journey began with a Master’s degree in Analytical Chemistry from Brigham Young University, where he honed his skills in advanced instrumentation and research. His career included a notable stint at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, where he contributed to groundbreaking projects. However, his desire to serve others and make a direct impact led him to pursue dentistry at the University of the Pacific, where he graduated with high honors. He further specialized in pediatric dentistry, completing his residency at Yale School of Medicine.

Dr. Keeton’s approach to pediatric dentistry is centered on creating a fun, supportive, and welcoming environment for children. His goal is to make every visit a positive and confidence-boosting experience for kids while offering parents peace of mind.

Outside of dentistry, Dr. Keeton enjoys mentoring students in STEM fields, playing sports, soaking up the sun (always with SPF 50!), and writing a young adult novel.

Dr. Keeton is thrilled to join Dr. Nelson and the team at Utah Children’s Dentistry, where he looks forward to helping kids and families throughout the community smile brighter every day!
