I’m Dr. Kelvin Shane and welcome to my dental office!
I’m a proud graduate of the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry, where in 2014 I graduated with distinction. Prior to receiving my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree, I attended the University of North Dakota (Go Sioux!), where I graduated with my Bachelor's of Science in Biology on a Presidential Scholarship. During these years, I received many awards for academic achievement and volunteered within my community. A central focus of my professional journey is learning new ways of providing the very best and most comfortable experiences for my patients.
I’m committed to providing continued excellence in dentistry. Expect to have honest conversations about your treatment and have your experiences understood. Utilizing the latest technology, we’ll discuss treatment options to keep you informed about your oral health, make recommendations, and customize a step-by-step plan to achieve the results you want.
While dentistry is my number one hobby, I also enjoy traveling, bicycling, and spending time outdoors. As a Hudson resident, I strive to build my practice as a representation of community, health, and lifelong learning.
