	Dr. Kelly Olsen DDS I was born in Ogden, Utah and I always knew I was going to be in the health profession. I started college at Weber State University majoring in Zoology and minoring in Chemistry. After serving a two-year mission in Johannesburg, South Africa where I had a wonderful time meeting and growing to love people from many difficult cultures, I met and married my beautiful wife, Theresa. I was accepted to Creighton University Dental School in Omaha, Nebraska, where I was the recipient of awards for clinical excellence. My wife and I moved to St. George right out of dental school and we had and love raising our two sets of twins. They are the joy (and work!) of our lives. I love working with the latest technology to provide the best possible care to my patients. I work extensively with lasers, which replace the drill in many cases. I love teaching other doctors about dental implants in various parts of the country. Implants have truly changed people’s lives and I enjoy being a part of that. The best part of being a dentist is changing people’s lives by giving them the smile they’ve always wanted. I look forward to getting to know you as patients and friends.
