Dr. Kevan O'Neill
Dr. Kevan O’Neill is recognized as a leader in orthodontics, celebrated for his profound expertise in addressing complex craniofacial anomalies. Hailing from Northwest Ohio, Dr. Kevan embarked on his educational odyssey at the University of Notre Dame, later earning his dental degree from Columbia University’s prestigious College of Dental Medicine. Driven by an aspiration to excel in his field, he pursued a residency at the University of Tennessee, where he honed his skills in comprehensive orthodontic care. His commitment to specialized care led him to a fellowship in craniofacial orthodontics at New York University, solidifying his reputation as a luminary in the field. As a former chief cleft and craniofacial orthodontist in Providence and an associate clinical professor, Dr. Kevan has contributed significantly to advancements in orthodontic practices and education. His return to Northwest Ohio represents a pledge to uplift the community with his unparalleled skills and compassionate spirit.
Dr. Brendan and Dr. Kevan are excited to be practicing together again and honored to succeed their mentor and friend, Dr. Tom Ahman. Dr. Ahman treated the twins in the mid-1990s and was a constant source of support and guidance to them throughout their education. Following in the footsteps of Dr. Ahman, Dr. Brendan and Dr. Kevan are both board-certified orthodontists, an achievement attained by only a small number of orthodontists in the country. In addition to their practice, Dr. Kevan is on staff at Dayton Children’s Hospital as well as Shriners Children’s Hospital in Dayton. Through this partnership, he and his twin brother, Dr. Brendan, treat some of the most complex cleft lip and palate and craniofacial syndrome cases, providing specialized care to patients in need.
