I am Shaun Keating CEO of Keating Dental Arts and I am the Worlds Most Interesting Dental Technician. Shaun Keating, CDT is a Huntington Beach , CA native who has been close to the dental industry nearly his entire life. Shaun's decision to enter the dental field as a technician in 1984 was shaped largely by his brother's appointment as the President of the University of Southern California 's dental school, and in 1991, Shaun became a National Board Certified Dental Technician (CDT) in crown and bridge. After many successful years as a waxer, metal finisher, ceramist and crown and bridge manager for a large dental laboratory, Shaun decided to pursue his dream of owning his own business.
Shaun Keating takes enormous pride in being a devoted family man. He and his wife Shannon have two great sons, Kyle and Travis. Shaun is also active in the community, having served as the coach for Northwood Little League Baseball and Irvine Youth Football since the boys were 7 and 8. In addition to donating to and sponsoring local charities and fund raisers, he has also contributed restorative work to dentists working with disadvantaged children, battered women, the mentally ill, and the seriously traumatized.
If you have any doubt as to the devotion and pride Shaun takes in being a dental technician, just drive behind him some day -- the answer has been right there for over two decades on his California license plate: DENL TEC.
