Dr. Mackenzie "Mac" Kelley

You can call her “Dr. Mac”! She loves creating strong relationships with her patients, has a great sense of humor and is very passionate about helping people feel comfortable while they are in her chair. Dr. Mac was born and raised in Fort Wayne, IN and attended Indiana University School of Dentistry, where she graduated with highest distinction. She was awarded the Omicron Kappa Upsilon Academic Achievement Scholarship and received the American College of Prosthodontists award, presented to students who demonstrate excellence in crowns, bridges, restorative and cosmetic procedures. So yeah, she’s smart AND cool! And she’s also super strong. Dr. Mac’s hobbies (obsessions) are Crossfit and Olympic weightlifting. She can squat twice her body weight and teach most guys in the gym how to clean & jerk. So you better floss when she tells you to!

Following dental school, Dr. Mac completed her general practice residency at Carolinas Medical Center where she gained further exposure to complex dental procedures such as dental implants, surgical extractions, and difficult restorations. After residency, she practiced in Pittsburgh, PA for several years before moving with her husband to their dream home: the beautiful mountains of Colorado! Dr. Mac’s passion is cosmetic dentistry. She has taken hundreds of hours of continuing education in minimal prep veneers, crowns, cosmetic bonding, Invisalign, Botox and fillers. She prides herself in being able to give you the most natural enhancement of your smile and loves going through different treatment options with you. Whether that’s Invisalign and whitening, or 8 beautifully bright natural looking veneers – she’s your girl. She is currently working on receiving accreditation through the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry – this is a process that can take several years to complete but is a prestigious recognition that very few cosmetic dentists achieve in their lifetime. The Espire Riverfront location is also on the forefront of digital dentistry – they use a digital scanner and 3D printer to design a digital “mockup” of what your future smile will look like! How cool!

When Dr. Mac is not working, she enjoys lifting weights at the gym, cooking, traveling and reading. She loves spending time with her family, friends, husband (who happens to be an oral surgeon!) and her cats. She encourages you to check out her cosmetic work (and dancing skills!) on Instagram.rs as one of San Diego’s Top Dentists.
